MOBA Trainer reviews: what creators and players say

League creators who tried MOBA Trainer on video mostly praise the same thing: it trains decisions in isolation. Coach Rogue, a pro player and coach, said it teaches the small decisions about where to go and what to do, and that removing the random results of a real game makes practice clearer. Moch played it for 7 days and said the puzzles filled gaps he did not know he had, while calling it a supplement to playing, not a replacement. No Arm Whatley wrote that it is actually really good.

What creators liked

Decisions without the noise. In a real game a bad call can work because the enemy misplays, and a good call can fail because a teammate does not follow. A puzzle grades the decision itself, so you know whether your choice was right.

The small decisions. Coach Rogue pointed out questions he could never cover in a YouTube video, like which path to take through your own jungle, and said he often got long puzzles wrong because he missed a detail from earlier.

Finding what you do not know. Moch said the tool made him realize how many small things you are supposed to track that you only notice once you are tested on them.

Honest limits

Puzzles do not replace playing. Moch's verdict after 7 days was that it works best as a supplement and that about 10 minutes a day is enough. That is also how MOBA Trainer is built: a short daily session, then you take one decision into your games.

Getting puzzles right does not mean you execute them under pressure. A puzzle shows you the right call; you still have to make it in a real 5v5 game.

Who made it

MOBA Trainer was founded by Saviour, a former Challenger support, and its puzzles are written by Challenger players and pros (Zanzarah, Peco, Toni and Robo). Creators such as Alois, No Arm Whatley, Diamondprox and Dumbs have puzzle bundles built from their own games.

In their own words

Overall, I genuinely like this app, mainly for the fact that it teaches players to make those micro decisions about where to go and what to do that you have to make every couple of seconds in a game of League.

Coach Rogue, pro player and coach

This way of practising is awesome, because you take out all of the random variables and results based analysis of a normal League game.

Coach Rogue, pro player and coach

I'm impressed by how useful this app felt to me, especially since as I got further down into the puzzles, they became more difficult.

I'm also realizing the puzzles were filling in gaps I didn't even know I had.

Moch, League creator, 7-day challenge

This tool was genuinely eye-opening. Mostly because it made me realize just how much information I don't know.

Moch, League creator, 7-day challenge

I do think it's way better as a supplementary resource rather than something you rely on as your main way to improve. Honestly, 10 minutes a day is probably enough, so I wouldn't recommend buying anything crazy on it, but I do think my decision-making improved overall.

Moch, League creator, 7-day challenge

Try MobaTrainer, it's actually really good.

Fifteen minutes a day on the free plan. It helped me climb to Diamond 3, and it makes learning League actually fun.

As a lv 28 this app really helped me slowly overcome my fear of letting my team down because of my lack of knowledge or awareness.
