There are many MOBA games like League of Legends which promise to provide some brain-exercising entertainment for any player looking to hone his strategy and quick decision making skills.

1. SmashMuck Champions
SmashMuck Champions provides a multi-player feature which can allow up to 10 players. In this game, people can form SmashMuck teams, use many easy to learn fighting styles and delight in four different arenas to choose from. Players may team up in 3 vs. 3 or 5 vs. 5 teams. SmashMuck Champions enables the player to enhance his strategic skills by customizing his characters’ weapons and attacks.

2. Solstice Arena
Solstice Arena is an action-oriented juicy bait for those hunting down games similar to League of Legends for the iOS. It is designed to offer 3 versus 3 combat. It delivers on its promise of providing thrilling gameplay and options of three ability upgrade paths for Hero progression. Unlike other MOBA, Solstice Arena has a time limit in which to complete a battle and this amounts to around 10 minutes.
Where a normal online battle may take 45 minutes to complete (based on the number of players), Solstice Arena gives a play session of 10 minutes tops. This does away with prolonged battles which can get monotonous.
3. Heroes of Newerth
This free-to-play MOBA was inspired by the popular Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. Heroes of Newerth has as many as 118 heroes which the player can choose from. Each hero type has three unique abilities such as Intelligence, Agility and Strength and attacks are of two types i.e. Ranged (can attack enemies from a distance) and Melee (can attack enemies standing close by).
In the battle arena, each player has to destroy the opponent’s central structure, if not the World Tree(of team Legion) or Sacrificial Shrine(of team Hellbourne). Or you could simply try every other means to get the opposing team to give up.
4. Land of Chaos
Land of Chaos also known as LOCO, is an intense mix of strategy and fighting tactics to be used against the opponents. Players are given a choice to fight as the Forces of Nature or Army of Purgatorium.

The player can not only choose what character he wants to play as (be it conqueror or Demonologist) he can also finely control every move of the weapon at hand and style of fighting such as attacking directly on the head or diagonally from left to right or right to left based on individual preference.
But the main attraction would be the ‘Real Combat’ system where you can attack the opponent in three different parts using a combination of attacks to inflict more damage on the opposing character.
