    Default 5 minute games?

    So I've played some MOBA's, and I saw that the games are going to be 5 minutes. I don't know, that seems really short. I know most games last 20-30 minutes, considering the time it takes to destroy the towers and leveling up. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Also, if you put no chat, people can still team speak, and won't they have an advantage over people who can't?

    This game may get boring within a few fights,
    five-minute matches is too little time to really get into the action

    I don't thing that's gonna be a biggie, if ppls critize after playing the game, Devs may increase the time.

    well, according to me 20-30 mins was huge time for less players so 5 mins is good like other pvps

    I feel like a good time for these matches would be in the 6-8 minute range.

    The above article from tentonhammer answers the 5 min game question really well in my opinion.

    An option for a longer game would be great. We'll just have to see how it plays out.

    It seems to me that the short game time is the niche sts is looking to fill. If they make it longer people will just go play a PC moba that has a lot more depth. I haven't played a moba before so I won't know what I'm missing with it not having jungles, minnions and what not.

    Wait to play before passing judgement. We can't put it down over here. The timing is perfect for mobile!

    Think of it this way...when two samurai duel its not a clash of swords for 20-30 minutes or even 5 minutes. Its one blink of the eyes and a foul swoop of the sword. Not even a half a breath before the battle has begun and ended.

    I've got to agree with JustG. This game is all action with very little fluff like jungles/minions, so getting into the action is quick and INTENSE.

    I usually play under my desk at school, on my car to school, on free times at home etc. Id like a 5 mins MOBA so i can still play at 20% or night b4 exam, but id like different rooms with different times, like 5 mins, 10,20 etc so we can choose

    What?? That's one of the things that make Mobas fun. With no jungle no point in ganks or warding. Honestly did you take time to play an actual moba and fully enjoy. In starting to believe not if 5 minutes is time limit and there's no minions or jungle. You said very little but not at all true but that's still bad

    Idk. I just feel like their purpose is not to make a game that is like "most games." They are making their own unique game that differs from "most games." If they just went and copied a game that is already successful on the market then what good would that be? I agree with Rob. If they follow the time frame and total style of other mobas then what differentiates them? I have played LoL and absolutely hated it. The only thing that pops into my head is, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." Try it for yourself and see before you complain about their decisions. If you feel the same way after you play it then go put down some suggestions for them. However, I feel like you should see and play the game they have created before judging too harshly.
