1v1 MOBA's

Are there any MOBA's have 1v1 maps and ladders? DotA 2 and LoL do not. I think I remember HoN having a 1v1 ladder, but it's been a couple years since I tried it.

Also, spare me the "they're not made for 1v1" speech. I know.

    I would also like to know this too. I am currently playing Mortal Kombat.

    I do enjoy 1 v 1

    Smite has a 1v1 Joust mode (single lane map) and I believe they have or plan to have 1v1 tournaments.

    Thanks. Never tried Smite. Looks like it plays like an FPS though and I'm not a huge FPS fan. Still I'll give it a shot.

    Why not just play fighting games? I currently have 6 in my rotation that I play regular ranked matches online on my ps3.

    You mean like Tekken, Mortal Kombat, etc.? Not enough variety for me. Just mashing buttons. I like the top down camera angle as well since I like RTS's. I like MOBA's, but I don't like with teams every time since I'm used to playing 1v1 in RTS's. The community in LoL and DotA 2 is horrible too. Everyone's a wannabe pro gamer.

    It's a TPS MOBA - pretty cool for a change of pace if you like MOBA's.

    Try bloodline champions if that game is still going.

    Otherwise, all of them can be 1v1 in a custom game. Don't know bout DoTA 2, but I am certain for lol and HoN. But not one of them is balanced around 1v1(which is a stupid thing anyhow. Everything should use quant balancing). Extreme example? Tryndamere vs Soraka. GG.

    You can create a 1v1 custom game in DotA 2, I'd like a ladder though and a map or 2 designed for 1v1.

    I don't care about balance. I know only a couple of heroes would be played in 1v1 due to balance issues. I used to play the original Age of Empires. Nearly everyone played the same civ (even though there were a dozen to choose from), but it was still tons of fun.
