Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first. |

Genre in full?
[edit]Hi Dissident93, hope you're doing well. Shouldn't we write out genres, in infoboxes as well? WP:VG/STYLE doesn't mention genres in the infobox though, but I don't see why we shouldn't write multiplayer online battle arena instead of MOBA. For mobile users such as myself, the first thing that is always shown is the infobox, before the lead. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 13:22, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- I don't care much to fight it, but I'd counter with MOBA being an example where the abbreviation is the common name or at least as common as the full name (think CIA, NFL, and DNA). It also aids in readability over using "Multiplayer online battle arena" in the infobox, which would cause a line break and could possibly look broken on some user devices. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 14:43, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
Platforms Edit
[edit]As a user with a little under 300 contributions, I'm unable to edit this page, so I would appreciate if someone could assist. The platforms list OS X rather than macOS. This is simply a bit outdated but would be nice to fix. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigmantonyd (talk • contribs) 22:59, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia lists the platform for the game's initial release, which was OS X in 2013. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 12:11, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

user:Dissident93 You reverted Liu1126's edit. May I know why? I don't see the information you removed anywhere in the article right now. 2600:6C44:117F:95BE:A1D0:CAF3:8A37:FD42 (talk) 03:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I reverted it back, I figured them beating OG was already in the paragraph but it wasn't. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 11:12, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
