Playing League of Legends is fun, but sometimes a break is in order. This very famous MOBA has been well established in the competitive world of video games since 2009. Although this behemoth is getting old, it is still just as popular and few manage to find a replacement. This is why, with the editorial staff, we offer you a few titles from different horizons (single or multiplayer) to get away from this very good, but addictive game.
For our selection of games that you might like and that would be in the same vein of League of Legends, we have selected titles that have the following qualifications: high durability, replayability, dynamic gameplay and isometric view.

The opportunity to test other MOBAs
Probably the easiest option: replace League of Legends (Lol) by other games of the same genre, in this case: MOBAs. Even if it is the most popular worldwide, it is far from being the only title of its kind. Let’s start with one of the most obvious: Dota 2. Surely the main competitor of Lol, it is a very good title from Valve, co-created by former creators of the first Dota, the personalized map mod of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Difficult to learn, it is a demanding title that is suitable for players who are thirsty for a challenge. For its part, SMITE offers a third-person view that changes a bit from other MOBAs in top view. The player controls one of the Gods who has his own skills related to his mythology. Players can also turn to Blizzard to play Heroes of the Storm. Although no new content will be released, this does not yet mark the end of this MOBA. It is still quite possible to find games against players, but we should not hope to see anything new happen for this license.
RTS (Real Time Strategy Game)
Replacing League of Legends can be a great opportunity to see the MOBA ancestors. One of the first MOBAs was created via a mod of Blizzard’s famous RTS. Defense of the Ancients was the name given to this custom map by players, which is the origin of Dota 2. So playing Warcraft III can be a nostalgic alternative. It’s up to you to see if you want to try the adventure with the version of the game from the time (2002) or the reworked version (Warcraft III: Reforged) which is far from having unanimous support among fans. Going further down the MOBA family tree, players can enjoy Starcraft’s first installment which spawned the first custom map “Aeon of Strife”, which is considered the father of traditional MOBAs. Starcraft and Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty are very good strategy games that it’s never too late to discover, especially for fans of military science fiction.
Still in the nostalgia, but moving away from the MOBA connection, players can immerse themselves in the excellent Age of Empires and Age of Mythology. These great real-time strategy licenses are must-haves. Listing all the excellent RTS would take forever, but we can mention, for example, Northgard.
Hack’n’Slash
A nervous type of game, with a lot of replayability that would approach Lol in terms of gameplay and in isometric view? Try hack ‘n’ Slash! If you’re unfamiliar with the genre, you can get started with the Diablo license. The fourth opus comes out in June, so the time is right to start this title which takes place in a dark medieval-fantasy universe. If you don’t want to put any money into your game, you can jump into Path of Exile. This excellent title is regularly updated and provides enough to spend very long hours of play. Nevertheless, this game is rather difficult, especially for neophytes of the genre. The customization of skills goes far in depth, which can be unsettling for players who have never touched this type of game. Do you want to get into MMOs? In this case, Lost Ark may be a viable option. This production is perfect for players who don’t want to take the lead and just want to have fun with others. A little more retro, Dungeon Siege is a safe bet that many Internet users consider to be one of the best licenses of its kind. Engaging story, complex tactics and rich universe, difficult not to succumb to this series of games.
roguelike
Let’s close our article with a genre of games that may appeal to ex-League of Legends players. Rogue-likes, in addition to generally possessing a rather nervous gameplay, offer great replayability. Hades is a very good way to leave Lol, with its universe both dark and light in the underworld of Greek mythology. Each run is different with it, especially with gods granting players different abilities to make their way to the surface. Always on the side high replayability games, The Binding of Isaac ranks very high. Despite its great difficulty, this title remains very accessible to beginners, with more than addictive gameplay.
