I had some discussion on LFE discord about how LF2 characters would be in a MOBA game.
This post would include their mindsets and skill trees, as I feel it'd be fun comparing them to MOBA characters.
Also because I'm basing characters mainly on Heroes of the Storm and slightly on LoL, you might see some unfamiliar terms.
Beware that many of them may look similar.
