There is a community forming right now that aims to write a MOBA from scratch, mostly fueled due to the Vanguard incident on Linux. I am not affiliated with the project, but wanted to raise attention to it (as I am currently on cold League turkey since a month).

"It's just a moba, how hard can it be?"

Yeah, I get the feeling they might be underestimating the amount of work required. Especially if they want to use something like GDScript. Sure, it's just a wee hobby project but I hope that people on Reddit and Lemmy don't harass them about not doing things fast or well enough... Don't really see it going anywhere beyond being a learning experience for the author.
