Actually making it simpler makes a lot of sense IMO. It's more fun for casual ums gamers to have a simpler version like that and the dota community badly needs a noob friendly way to get people into the game.

Not to mention it means it is easier to balance. If there were 500 heroes with 5 abilities and 1000 items it'd be difficult to balance, and most heroes/items wouldn't even be used after a month. Instead of a group of lets say 12 heroes, who can constantly be adjusted to maintain balance, you'd have 500, where balance doesn't even matter, and 1 hero could be significantly better than 50.

they tried that already.
it's called Demigod.
it got boring extremely fast with it's... eight? heroes?
more heroes are always better. it's not that hard making a hero balanced. whats hard is coming up with new ideas.

This train has already left Blizz headquarters.

They should try to cater casuals because they ain't gonna compete with Valve in Dota2 with icefrog in terms of e-sports value.

And there is LoL and HoN out there.

Just hope that we get to see something at Blizzcon.

What if they blatanly Copy the wc3 dota but make it better with good ui and superior graphics and add a tutorial or even a coaching system ? What if they added a lan option and new heroes. ? Wait a minute that is Dota 2.

Blizzard can do Dota 2 better than valve does if they start working hard on it. Valve shouldnt waste its time while many ppl are still walting for hl2 ep3.

some suggestions for making dota genre better:

less farming.

more fighting.

then im sold. i hate farming when it comes to hon/dota. why am i farming for 40 minutes and 20 minute actual combat?

some suggestions: remove level. remove exp by creep. remove items.

add 10+ more skills to each character.

rework tower defense.

this way, u only need 8-15 chars, more casual, no fricken FARMING, killing incentitives = better timing, and knocking the other player all the way back (u see this already when knocking out towers after wiping the the other team out). games arent 1hr+. capture the flag. i can dream cant I

From what i have seen from Dota2 Valve did everything but not "wasting its time".

Edit: I think Blizzard Dota is basically gonna be the way for Sc2 players to find into MOBA games but i cant see them having the potential playerbase to be big if there is HoN/LoL/Dota2 around.

Ep3 is definitely more important than Dota 2 IMO

Edit: youre right about your second statement but Dota Will definitely help selling hots
