Moba AllStars: Legends version 1.0 is a pretty massive upgrade to the mod. It includes 102 playable Champions, Heroes, Gods, Titans, Beasts, Monsters and Demons.
Maps, textures, UI, structures, effects and game mechanics have alse been greatly improved to the point where previous players might not even recognice the mod anymore.
The balance and distinction among playable characters have been in constant refinement and a mayor focus of the team over the last 3 years to the point that ever single one feels incredibly unique yet very balanced and fun.
Finally, we have overhauled the In Game Guides as well as several other external video tutorials to help new Moba AllStars players.
You can check some of our Video Tutorials Here:
The mod can be downloaded from the link below. Please spread the word about this release, and help us reach out to those in the gaming (Moba, Strategy, RPG) community who might want to play an experience like this, but don't yet know about the work we're doing!

Sooo....you've partially skinned Heroes of Newerth.....Infact, your MOBA Allstars tutorial is just the HoN tutorial.
That is what mods are all about, otherwise we would be a whole new game.
Actually we changed ALOT! Most heroes are changed, we added more than 40 new heroes no found on the regular HoN and changed those who were there already.
And yes, the same tutorial works for us no need to make one from scratch.
Isnt your basic tutorial just HoN's tutorial?
So, if you mod starcarft... are you gonna do a whole new tutorial about how to play starcraft? MA does not change the fundamentals of the game so there is no need to expend resources on doing a new tutorial that would end up being just the same ;)
so this is basically the capcom vs snk of mobas? this gave me flashbacks...
Alright I'm just going to outright say that whatever it is you plan on doing with this won't go far without actual textual, factual, and video/photo evidence of these so called "heroes" in action. You claim to borrow elements from champions/heroes/gods of other mobas but they're in no way present. Sure you can Re-Skin Thunderbringer and call him "Zeus: god of blah blah" but it doesn't change the fact that it's still Thunderbringer.. If i wanted to go play Thunderbringer, i'd ******* go play HoN and use my Premium skin. It's the same with Poseidon and pretty much all the other "unique" heroes you've copied/pasted to the list. You can argue that it's a mod but mods aren't just limited to re-skinning already existing heroes. You could also argue that it would be too much work trying to create a new character from scratch when you've already proven you can seeing how you have access to all the files of HoN and the engine it's running on. This is obviously Pre-Patch 3.0 so the code should be clean and concise. I don't know why this keeps floating around the Mod DB page uncommitted but someone had to say this.
Bottom line is, if you advert that you're taking elements from other Mobas, which would be smite AND league seeing how HoN and Dota2 pretty much have solid comparisons alike. But if you advocate that you're taking elements from league and smite, then they damn well better be in the game. You have all the resources at your disposal but would rather sit there and muster enough attention out of reskins/texture/particle effects changes rather than putting in a good amount of effort. Hell, if you manage to put Teemo from league into this "mod", i'd take back everything i've said in an instant and leave it be.
We are not taking elements from other Mobas, we are inspired by them. We did not change was wasn't broken... proven designs need to stay true to their tested formulas. We did unified the lore and changed abilities that were already used by other heroes. Try Mercury, Arachne's Alt Queen of Spades, Diablo, Tyrael, Aang the Airbender, Maximus, Awilix, Persian Assassin, Jakiro, Leoric, Lazarus, Thor, Ymir etc. You won't find any of those in HoN and are all inspired from LoL and Smite Heroes. None of our heroes are exact replicas of other heroes so don't expect them to be ;) We added Staff of the Master effects more in line with those in Dota 2 than HoN for example and the items are based on Dota 1's with some of the newer ones from Dota 2 and HoN. Everything was kept simpler yet more hardcore just like stated on our website.
In continuation to this, we have 7 custom maps with Ai Bots that work on all of them, completely new UI incluing Login Screen and Main Menu, a whole new Lore including in game hero guides, support for several different languages, our items store has a whole new section called "defenses" that no other moba has... so yes... we are our own thing, inspired by what was before but ended up being a different, yet familiar, beast. Thanks to that if you play the mod you will feel right at home and you would think exactly that nothing has changed but if you start looking, and playing, you will release just how much work went into this. Still your point of view is important and appreciated and we will improve upon what we have here over time using feedback such as yours. Thanks
Any plans to add Warcraft 3 custom map Battletanks and Naval Battle "heroes"? Ehehehe.
Well, we have 7 custom maps that can be played with AI... so we are no going to release new ones on the next version but for the future and if we get enough player requests then we could add them ;)
loving it so far, really fluid gameplay on my wooden pc and decent graphics xD. great job guys, i will be following this project closely :D
Thanks Yavin! Yeah, we optimized the engine to the max... it is super fluid on any 6 year old hardware. Hope to see you on tunngle so we can play some coop matches this weekend!
this isnt a dota 2 mod...
engine looks like hon
Any chance for a Linux and/or Mac release?
Hello Alzarath!
MA already works on MAC and Linux.
The easiest way is by using a wrapper such as: Winehq.org
The other way is by using Bootcamp on a Mac OS X installation.
We have tested both and offered optimal gameplay.
Are impressive changes have been made to the game, it's true many heroes only changed their name and are preserved as the hon but if changed are easy gameplay and fun, the section of the store of defenses is a great detail I reminded Strife (another moba) and finally the power play offline against bots is something that many communities have asked moba this mod and made it happen. I highly recommend it and can not wait to see the next version. And as I commented that Congor report on some maps to die reappears immediately. Greetings remain so.
is someone playing this Moba is alive or Dead? are they release new patch or map and weather too?
