There is a community forming right now that aims to write a MOBA from scratch, mostly fueled due to the Vanguard incident on Linux. I am not affiliated with the project, but wanted to raise attention to it (as I am currently on cold League turkey since a month).

@Linus_Torvalds In the meantime you still have #DOTA2 (I'm neither a #dota nor a #LeagueOfLegends player but I know people who worked on the LeagueOfLinux project)

I am aware of that possibility, but a truly FOSS MOBA would be amazing. Custom balancing on different servers, different queues, etc.

@Linus_Torvalds True, true, I'll definitely try to play it if it ever reaches the level of @play0ad or mindustry.
