I just wanted to point out that most developers are not amazingly good at their video games, since they are making them most of the time. And the people who are in the alpha might not be ground breaking RTS humans. | ||

Gotcha, that makes more sense and I agree!

Ok, one thing I'm kinda confused with, the gifs seems to show different clumps of units, can you move your units separately from your hero are they kinda one blob? You can move your units seperately. I hope I'm allowed to say that :D , from my POV you can see that in the video and I think they even say that you can use it as a tactical element. | ||

Just because it has towers (strong defenders advantage) and a hero unit doesn't mean it's a moba. It surely has moba design in it, which hopefully makes it more approachable for the masses though. | ||

People call Overwatch a MOBA. So take it with a grain of salt. | ||

MOBA is a subgenre of RTS. Starcraft, C&C and similar games are in classic RTS subgenre, that is the one with resource collecting and base building. So while this game is a RTS, it is way more MOBA like than classic RTS like. | ||

I mean just look at the actual mobas heroes, dota2, lol and maybe smite. 4 completely different games and if you like one that still doesn't mean you will like the others. They share some design decisions, others are quite different, etc. But i guess for a very rough first info genres are kinda ok :/ I actually think this genre labeling is bad for creativity and it only creates absurd opinions based on the label -.- | ||

“You will add an espionage system god damn it. And Religion must be in the game! Even if you don’t have good design ideas to go with them. Add shitty features to fill out this check box form” and “All options for victory should be equally viable, so then we never have to make any hard decisions.” It was a fun discussion. | ||

In the end developers should already have a good idea what worked and what didn't and improve on that. You could say the same about starcraft probably, but that's another topic  | ||
