How To MOBA: A Beginner's Guide to Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas

A few years ago, I wrote out a basic guide to multiplayer online battle arena games for a friend getting into it. Then I expanded on it to include more games and be more generalized. Then I never finished editing it all until today. So here it is, a very basic guide to understanding games like League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm, DotA, Smite, and more. Read it over to help you start playing or just so you know what's going on while watching.
