But after playing around 10 games of HotS it has some nice ideas but is a pretty boring game. | ||

Some people like the game enough but this is pretty aggressive even for blizzard's standards. Blizzard is salty over losing the rights to DotA and a piece of the MOBA pie so they have to catch-up in a market already saturated with huge established names. From promoting it on ESPN with a college tournament and now paying big name streamers to give their game a try they really want to make HotS on par with LoL or Dota 2 but HotS gets even less viewers than SC2 so really, I don't see HotS changing anything from the LoL/Dota 2 paradigm. | ||

Its ok, because the guy who reviewed it played Dota first and according to the internet that makes him bias. Because the review score is supposed to confirm the bias of that game's fan base. HotS is fine with friends and a much lower impact game. | ||

Way more than people who freak out about review scores. maybe that particular reviewer is legit, but i stopped even bothering to check ign for review scores tbh that said, i read the review and he raises valid points, all of which i agree with. but if you only have 20 minutes and you wanna feel like a god, go play HotS On June 08 2015 04:32 Kupon3ss wrote: The problem with the score is that the reviewer is approaching the game after having played and devoted significant time to both dota and lol instead of blizzard's target audience. hueheuheuhe | ||
