There is a really fun game I've been playing for the last few months called League of Legends. Its a free to play (with extra stuff like skins being purchased with cash, nothing that gives an advantage is bought with cash) MOBA game. MOBA is a genre that was basically created with Defense of the Ancients, a mod for Warcraft 3.
Its basically 5 v 5, and everyone picks a 'champion' and you control just that one character on an RTS like gamefield. The goal is to knock down the other teams towers and eventually kill their base. You level up by killing the other teams CPU controlled minions and player controlled champions and you gain gold and buy items to make your character stronger (gold and xp is contained in one game for your champion)
The thing that makes this different than DoTA primarily is that there is a persistent bonuses you can get as your summoner (basically your account). You get xp and influence points for every game you play. As you gain levels you can put more points into masteries which are kinda like WoW or diablo skill trees. Its not a huge advantage, but you can level up to 30. You can also purchase 'Runes' With your influence points that will give your character some bonuses. I wouldnt be turned off by the summoner system its not a big deal or a big grind.
anyways, if anyone wants to play use my referral link =P
