Suggestion If Herocraft was a MOBA...

Not exactly a suggestion, but if the classes of the Multiverse were altered and fought in the arena, what exactly would their kit look like? How would that arena function? The following is my interpretation on that idea. So, without further ado....

Heroes of the Multiverse
Souls of the fallen collect and merge throughout the Multiverse, and train within the Arena! Here, an endless battle is fought between the heroes of old and new, in a struggle to prove their worth. Monsters, unlike in other realms, seem to have picked sides as well. In this clash, which side will you join?

Gameplay Mechanics:
[Structures/Arena]: There are 3 lanes, each with it's own Tower. Towers will target Heroes unless an enemy Monster is nearby, and will target that instead. Each Tower deals 25 damage per second, and, against heroes, 2 seconds of slowness with an additional 3% max health damage per shot. Towers can only be damaged by Monsters, each sacrificing itself to destroy it. It takes 15 Monsters to destroy a Tower.
Past these towers is the Core, which is destroyed after taking damage from 45 Monsters. It deals 25 damage per second, but will always target Heroes before Monsters.

[Monsters]: Monsters (Zombie) spawn in packs of 3, pushing forward in each lane. At base level, each has a total health pool of 200 health, and deals 50 damage per swing, both of which can be upgraded later in the game. Each drops an amount of soul shards if killed by a Hero.

[Leveling]: Experience is gained by killing Monsters and enemy Heroes. Every level gained also gives a set amount of souls (currency). The Max level is 30.

[Economy]: Soul shards can be turned into Souls at the Core, which then are used to purchase items and upgrades in the Shop. Items include armor, weapons and runestones. Upgrades include but are not limited to heals, Monsters, and Buildings. Some items, such as armor and weapons, are kept on death. All soul shards and reagents will be dropped on death. Killing an enemy Hero rewards 10% of their current amount of Souls.

"IF HEROCRAFT WAS A MOBA..."
That's kinda exactly the point. (Or DOTA2, or SMITE, or any non-important MOBA, there's dozens)
I dont remember it originally being named that. But whatever, just saying it'd be rather hard to implement because leveling would have to come with scaling gear. a team could be well balanced and win at level 1 with how gear is right now. Just makes it like a glorified arena. now if the currency actually got good shit that gave flat hp increases into the 2-3ks and rangers went bot and built crit chance and damage and stuff like that, then it might be interesting.

I actually don't think it would be that difficult, and would think it's already possible with heroes to make a very enjoyable moba. There would need to be more classes, but that wouldn't be too hard considering that they would each only have 4 skills. It's even possible to get actives like leagues summoner spells or Smites relics using money (emeralds?) to trade villagers at the shop for items that have an effect.

Anyway there would be something preventing teams from winning at lvl 1 like every other moba I would think. Btw a MOBA is just a glorified arena.
