What is MOBAWatch?

MOBA is an attempt to make a 1 lane ARAM (All Random, All Mid) version of a MOBA within Overwatch's "Workshop" system. This project accomplishes this by:

1. Transferring player look angle to 2D movement
2. Creating a "dummy" bot for each player to enact their actions in their stead
3. Simulating minions using in-world text, effects and a large array with which to store their information
4. Simulating structures using a similar system
5. Altering player abilities to best fit the new perspective
6. Disabling or limiting specific heroes which would be too costly to manage
