"Causing these heros to fight endlessly for no purpose, other than ladder points" "Coming Soon....ish (seriously)" LOL. I definitely agree with people saying it's nice to see Blizz not taking themselves seriously for this, especially given the current lv of Dota competition. | ||

I'll be honest if an Icefrog type of person were able to get the open source and balance it out this could probably be pretty epic That won't happen though, but it'll still be something i'll check out | ||

Good thing you stepped it up then eh? On October 22 2011 06:03 potatomash3r wrote: What a corny trailer. Presuming that it's an sc2 map, is free to play and is meant just for shit and giggles I still think this looks terrible. Between this and the panda crap for wow, Blizzard is doing a really good job at making themselves look like clowns. You realize the corniness was the point right? Though I do agree about the WoW expansion seeming all too much like a joke. I think Blizz would be crazy to try and make this a non-f2p standalone game, hopefully they are smarter than they are generally given credit for (I believe they are). | ||

So if i said "No, kind sir, i disagree, it looks visually better then HoN but worse then LoL and DOTA2" it would be accepted as a valuable contribution? Or is it because the game whos graphics i don't like is the game you like to play? Well then don't get offended by my post, beauty is subjective. | ||

Maybe if this game came out at release instead of at a time when DOTA2/LoL is dominating the genre it would have a chance. I think it's a perfect game for people that don't take the genre seriously though, as long as there's some form of matchmaking and it isn't just an SC2 map (which it very well may be, in which case, oh well..). I don't think it was ever intended as a competitor for the already established titles. | ||

The jungle area, where neutral creeps and monsters provide challenges and extra gold and experience for players, is still there -- with a twist. Neutral minion camps exist, and after a player kills all of the creeps in the game, he can capture the point and start spawning new minions with his default minion waves. This creates another game of jungle control in which keeping control of certain minion camps means big bonuses to the team with the best vision and control. Battle Tanks anyone? Finally, items are not upgraded from building progressively complicated weapons and armor. Instead, players buy an item and then upgrade that item by purchasing additional levels for it. For instance, if I purchase an HP regen ring, I have the option to upgrade it to levels 2 and 3, which give more bonuses without taking up more inventory space. There are only four inventory slots and many fewer items than in other games, but the system makes item selection more about adding to your character's skills rather than giving you new abilities. Me no like. There is a "mount up" ability bound to "T" that, after a short cast time, puts your hero into mount mode and increases his speed dramatically until he's attacked. This mount-up feature makes it easy to get back into lane without a teleport spell. "B" will, as usual, recall you back to the starting area. Lost interest (and how is it "as usual"?). Edit: IMO, if they wanted to relase some fun UMS they would be better off going with classics like Uther's Challenge or Footmen Frenzy. They would translate nicely to SC2 environment and could be an actual fun. | ||

Not sure about LoL but HoN is up there. It was released with e-sports in mind and is being tuned towards it with great spectator tools, special LAN client for tournaments and having quite a bit of big tournaments going on for it (Dreamhack, NASL, MSI Beat It, LION Quality Cup, e-Sports Heaven, TwitchTV Challenge, WCG to name a few). | ||

It still looks like it's going to be nothing more than a custom SC2 map lacking all the features SC2 is lacking. I don't see why they would go out of their way to add them in when they couldn't be fucked to add them to SC2 it just looks like they are trying to take the piss out of the dota genre because they weren't smart enough to capitalize on it | ||

Dota is considered to be a very serious E-sport, especially in china, remember the 1million dota 2 tournament? China, Ukrain, Russia, the SEA region they all have dota teams competing for money in tournaments, it is definitely an E-sports caliber game. League of Legends is being pushed hard as an E-sport and I find it entertaining to watch aswell, the tournaments so far from what I know have been sponsored by Riot mostly(the developer) but I wouldn't be suprised if more community driven tournaments will show up. It might be casual but that does not make it bad. Hon is somewhat smaller then the other 2(in terms of viewership) however it is most certainly is an E-sport with tournaments running, whether HoN survives Dota 2 is yet to be seen. For all intents and purposes, they are all as much of an E-sport as Starcraft is. | ||

LoL is also bigger than sc2 especially in the western world, but smaller than dota since china loves dota so much.People underestimate how much bigger these games are. Yeah, I'd say LoL averages 100k+ viewers on the English stream for the finals of IEMs/MLGs. DreamHack finals had 200k+ viewers on the English stream. DotA/DotA2 is smaller than LoL outside China, but its fanbase in China alone dwarfs the worldwide fanbase for SC2, or even LoL for that matter. LoL, on the other hand, is probably the most popular game outside China and a "growing" e-sport (I say growing because the potential is not even close to being fulfilled, even though the numbers are actually bigger than BW/SC2). As for this Blizzard DotA game, it looks really fun, and I'd love to try it out. I remember playing some of the first AoS-type maps in WC3 (cos I sucked at actual WC3, so I'd just pub custom maps from time to time) and that was pretty cool. Once DotA came out, I actually hated it and found it uninspiring, repetitive and just boring though >< (edit: due to DotA being a farmfest compared to the earlier MOBA style games which were focused on actual teamfights). | ||

Since this is most likely free (after you pay for SC2, of course) I'll definitely give this a shot when I'm too scared to ladder Also seems far more basic and intuitive than Dota propers, with seemingly fewer heroes? (But I reckon no less fun) | ||

On one hand the trailer goes "no purpose except for ladder points" and at the same time Blizzard is trying to have a casual approach to this. In the panels they show that you use the matchmaking button to find opponents but still it could be like Diablo 3 arena where they hide your ladder ranking? Edit:I found the answer. This picture shows that it is like SC2, there is a ladder and if you don't want to play ladder there are private games as well. Blizzdota ladder-private games | ||

I'm very happy with the way they are approaching the project as well. I hate how it's gospel that DotA is more or less a perfect iteration of the genre and every other company that's tried to make a similar game has stayed so close to that formula. I'm glad they took the time to question things and are actually trying out some really far-out changes. This really seems like it's going to play out very differently than DotA, and though it certainly will be an easier game to start compared to the learning curves of the existing games out there, I'm not convinced that's entirely a bad thing. I think this is going to be probably the best casual game experience in this genre from what I've seen so far, and maybe they'll even be room for a competitive scene if it ends up getting the hard-to-master part down as well. | ||

I really really love HoN and DOTA, but it's so time consuming and hardcore.. Can't really play SC2 at master level while maintaining a 1800+ MMR on HoN without being at the computer 24/7. Blizzard DOTA seems like a casual chill game that I can jump into with my friends whenever I want. | ||

"heroes without boots get chased down by heroes with boots..." that 500 gold investment was made for that purpose!! you don't always have to buy boots to counter the opponent's purchase, holy shit besides, no one goes for boots first -_- (unless you're juggernaut) i don't think the people played dota competitively before lol mm and i dont like how they distinguish the "types" of heroes so clearly, i do hope the skills and the items they provide give more flexibility in how you want to play your hero (eg push techie, suicide techie, dps techie variants depending on skill and item order, etc) and i pray that siege heroes all don't immediately come with the longer-than-tower range (in fact, i don't really like the concept of having many siege heroes at all) oh, but having tyrael and diablo in it? illidian as well? holy fucking shit YES lol @ lvl 80 tauren chieftain | ||

Looking at the DotA 2 trailer my reaction was something like "meh." Watching this I'm instantly pumped to see all of my favorite characters duke it out! Also, it looks a lot better than DotA 2 (imo). | ||

Gameplay wise i don't expect much. The market is so saturated atm that it will be hard to carve out a niche to make this game anything but a waste of time/money on Blizzards behalf. Edit: Watching these videos I actually am interested to see how these new mechanics play out. A 4th type of hero, the new creep spawns and the new item system coupled with the mount mode could make for some more interesting and fast paced play. Let's not knock it before we try it. | ||

BlizzardDota will be awesome, it'll be fun to play as it is simple and not this professional like the other MOBAs out there. Looking forward to it | ||

Also, being able to bring bosses into your lane to fight for you is way too powerful. One obvious plus to this game tho is that the games will probably be shorter. Better teams will be able to win faster and if ever competitive, bo3s wouldn't take all night. | ||

To be honest, the reason I don't play Dota or LoL or any of those out there is because of the reasons the panel addressed in Blizzcon. Long games Hard to do early aggression The number of stats is just too much for an "arena" game. I mean I want to jump into the action and jumping in the Dota games out there takes so much time. I tried getting into Dota one more time watching the 1 million dollar Dota2 tournament but it was so damn boring watching the long games. If you dedicate yourself to Dota the complexity and long games are probably fun but if you are like me, you want to jump into the action play 15 minute games, go on to the next one and just have some competition (ladder/matchmaking) and don't need the 1 hour long games in random games Blizzard Dota is unmatched. | ||

I mean, mid-game,late game,all the game, hero with boot catch you or run away from you. You can't do anything unless you get boot or kelen.(Or a blink spell) Edit: The main game is still Starcraft, developers don't want you get sucked into DotA all the time.Maybe this is another reason for keeping games short. | ||

From the look of it, its just a fun custom they are using and it is meant for fun, not really competition, and it is fine that way. Good idea from Blizzard. | ||
