Scientists have found a strong correlation between intelligence and performance in League of Legends. This will come as no surprise to players given that MOBAs require players to think strategically, cooperate with teammates, and retain vast amounts of information. The scientists’ study in PLOS ONE goes further, as it has them stating they believe MOBAs can be used to measure cognitive intelligence.
“If this was chess, no-one would be surprised by this at all,” Alex Wade, Professor of Psychology at the University of York, and the study’s co-author says. The only surprise here really is that there are some videogames now that are as complicated as chess and people play them all the time.”
