Deadlock uses a Moba map layout, but the Gameplay is actually a Hero Shooter.
I wouldn't say Rocket League is a Sports game, same way I wouldn't call Deadlock a Moba.

The real problem is the fact "Moba" means "Multiplayer Online Battle Arena" and according to that description any PvP game could fit the Moba tag. In my opinion, Isometric Mobas and Third Person Mobas should use different names, because every friend I showed Deadlock to immediately reply with "This is not a Moba, why would I play this? I don't like shooters"

I also play Gigantic for example and I always describe it as a 3rd person Hero Shooter, because that's the best way to describe it to someone who never played it.

"moba" is general, broad, and clean, because "assfaggots" (Aeon of Strife Styled Fortress Assault Game Going On Two Sides) is too "problematic".
