Dawn of War 3 is on the face of it a real-time strategy game, but dig a little deeper and the influence of the hugely popular MOBA genre is plain to see.
Ever since developer Relic Entertainment revealed the long-awaited sequel, players have noticed this MOBA influence. Up to this point, it's been felt in the game's focus on Elite units, which work similarly to, for example, the Champions from League of Legends. I've spoken with Relic about the Elites before, but to recap, Dawn of War 3's hero units are responsive, easy to see on the battlefield and have varied and impactful abilities.
But the MOBA influence on Dawn of War 3 extends further - deep down into the very core of the design of multiplayer.
