I personally prefer a full fantasy setting instead of a mix of scifi etc in there, so I doubt I'll take the bait. | ||

This game will have Blizzard's name on it and therefore it will dominate the market. Hundreds of thousands of people who have never even heard of DOTA will play this. Just like many people who have never heard of mtg will play Hearthstone. | ||

The "I drink 5 protein shakes a day" one? or the "mom I just discovered who I am" or otherwise known as "transvestite" one? I don't see this being anything more than a 2-month fad. They already drove all their good characters into the fucking ground. Playing as Illidan, Arthas Kerrigan Tyrael means nothing to me now. | ||

dota and LoL have grown a lot because of just being there, hyping their game, making it into e-sports, and just pushing a lot of money on community stuff. It's great. But the actual game hasn't changed much at all the last 10-15 years. Blizzard might, just might, have an ace up their sleeve. Or they may just be able to recreate everything from A to Z slightly better and win on that. Not gonna call doomsday for all-stars, yet. | ||

It will definitely get a lot of players in the beginning. Then it will die cause it's ridiculously bad. | ||

In fact, anyone who knows that you can play games on a computer has heard about lol. And probaby tried it as well. | ||

In the end they just need to make a closed beta and sell keys for 400 dollar. | ||

I'm pretty sure this isnt going to be about e-sports at all, they are going for the casual audience, much like s2's new game. Here's the video I was talking about earlier, probably a lot has changed,but anyway: | ||

Do you really think they are oblivious about LoL and DotA 2 and can't make a calculated business-decision on this? Every thought you have about this went tenfold through their minds. They're not just making a gut-decision, this is closely calculated by them. | ||

It's a good company but they aren't THE BEST WTF SO GOOD. Especially when you see how (apparently?) bad D3 was and how people have had misgivings about SC2 for quite a while now. | ||

Blizzard is late to the party but that also gives them an advantage, they can build up a new game from the ground with all the latest technologys and learn from the faults in dota and lol, once it has come out it should be ahead of both lol and dota. Not only is blizzard the best, they are also the biggest. They have more monney for the development and they have a huge fanbase of players wich will try out the game no matter which other similar games are out. Agree though that d3 was not their best. | ||
