How Dune Created League of Legends and Warcraft

We take a look at how the 1965 science fiction novel Dune laid the foundations for many of the elements in early real-time strategy games (or RTS games for short) such as Warcraft and StarCraft, and how these elements went on to influence the MOBA games genre and Riot Games League of Legends (LoL).
