How we built this ranking and what to consider when choosing

This ranking is compiled to highlight MMORPGs where positioning strategy is a fundamental pillar of their combat system. Selection and evaluation are based on the analysis of game mechanics that make the location of a character or unit crucial for success in battle.

  • MMORPGs are considered that offer combat systems where positioning is not merely aesthetic, but directly affects the effectiveness of abilities, defense, or offensive opportunities.

  • Participant relevance is established through the presence of these mechanics at the core of the game, based on gameplay experience and community consensus on the importance of positioning.

  • The game must be an MMORPG with an active, online combat system.
  • Character or unit positioning must be a critical and deliberate factor in combat outcomes, not a secondary element.
