Warframe Moba?

[Imbarator]

I am wondering about this for 2 years now: Did this idea ever come up?

I mean, we already have different heroes (Warframes) with 4 abilities. Weapons and mods that could be used as items that can be bought by farming credits during the match from creeps.

Also, you could introduce more playable characters. I would main Clem or Tyl Regor asap.

As far as balancing goes, the most important thing would be to limit bullet jumping with some kind of stamina bar (like in Guild Wars 2), but I would be very interested to see this. (And yeah, I am aware that this need special balancing and reworking of alot of skills for this mode.)

The idea that DE would make a MOBA? Yes, they tried and it failed. Have a look at Keystone. I really don’t see attempting a second one as a sensible idea.

They could make a simplistic version of a moba in conclave could be fun

Honestly, MOBAs require far more balance than this game has figured out. 

If they could take some hints from those, as far as stats and scaling, we would have a better game over all.

DE would never be able to balance a moba.

Indeed, they would acquire another set of devs perhaps?

Least we need is another Moba game in the market to stir toxicity. I would rather go through the Helminth process than see a Warframe themed Moba to stain the name of the original game, same said for a Royales...

Excuse me but KeyStone isnt a Moba, its a Hero Shooter and they didnt FAIL, they put the game on Hold because the Market is currently saturated with them and [DE] preferred to invest their efforts on Warframe, tho keep in mind the game is extremely promising and Unique compared to the other Hero Shooters due to them implementing a Modding system that resembles a bit that of Warframe.

You could basically say that about every competitive game ever, because that will always crate some degree of toxicity.

I am not a fan of battle royales, but heck, why not? I won't play it, but that doesn't mean it can't be executed well. Same thing for Mobas, wich, as I said, would fit warframe quite well. You don't need to play it, but the advantages are quite obvious:

- Warframe is already popular. So less competing with other games for attention.

- The skill based warframes are basically made to be put in a Moba.

- Apart from WF's the game has quite some iconic characters to put in as playable heroes.

Thats the real issue. Like I said, every WF needs extra balancing around that mode, but I imagine it quite fun. I loved Battleborne, it was the first real 3d shooter-ish Moba I played, and I had a blast while doing so. With Battleborne being dead on arrival tho, this niché is actually uncontested.

Idk about a moba, but a style like overwatch could work. (Class based shooter right?)

 

Warframes have set loadouts to complement their roles. (Set weapons)

Stats like armor, health and shields are depicted by their role, their raw damage, and their mobility

It all starts out with a select few warframes on a free rotation so players get hands on and the team has a dedicated feedback section for balancing stuff out. 

 

Maps would obviously be reworked and made to have strong/weak points for certain frames and roles. 

 

Mods would of course get reworked to become integrated into such an idea.

 

Etc. 

 

I actually want to start a thread about a balancing idea for the existing pvp that's there right now but idk if it's worth the discussion. I love talking about this kinda stuff.
