Cool concept and all, but as it is, the game won't be able to compete with other MOBAS with only 16 champions, gimmped spectate (spectators lags, can't join during the game, etc).

I know you said Blizzard can potentially add more champs, and add this and that, but knowing Blizzard, this game itself probably won't be out for another year, let alone have the champ numbers and other features be as polished as the other games.

I think it is never coming out as it is awkwardly silent about this MOBA. THey even removed the page on battle.net long time ago so probably not being released ever

I can understand Blizzard's motives behind removing last hit and denying, since it really doesn't feel fun nor epic as a hero to have to sit behind towers and kill minions for gold. However last hitting and denying required a good degree of skill and attention to pull off, so removing those feels like removing a lot of depth from the game.

I hope they trade of the want to achieve, more active heroes on the map, earlier skirmishes and fights, actually works out well for them, otherwise it won't be worth it and it will feel dumbed down.

I don't consider Blizzard Allstars at something that will even attempt to rival DotA (2), LoL or HoN - how could it.
So in that regard it's pretty good that they actually change up a lot of the design in comparison to those games. That way it's something different and I wouldn't feel like rather playing e.g. DotA 2 because it does most stuff the same way and better.

What's however pretty amazing about this is the art style and the whole cool heroes and units from all their franchises. That's just so effing cool.

I mean having Arthas battle it out with Kerrigan etc.?
You can bet your ass I'm gonna play this game here and there at least!

I think from an esports perspective it seems like the design decisions for Blizzard Allstars are good. Lasthitting and Denying gone, but they seem to be trying to add depth to the game in other ways to make up for it, and these ways seem to revolve around teamwork, space control, positioning, coordination. The sorts of things which are much easier to see as a spectator and also understand as a new player or viewer. Also less emphasis on items, more on things like creeps and capturing creeps and the like. It seems like this game will be more terrain-dependent and change with different map structures, which is one thing I really like about Starcraft and miss in moba games, so pushing the game in that direction seems great to me.

I also hope that the lower number of heroes is something people could accept, as it basically just means that they're really making sure it's balanced, and all the heroes feel really good and also really different from each other. Hopefully the fact that it's all these Blizzard characters will get people to play it even if the total number is lower.

I didn't expect an informational video to be a sales pitch. Videos have an odd tone of selling me on all-stars and how great all these changes are going to be. I wasn't sold. I'll login and check it out when it's released but I can't imagine playing it like I do sc2/dota2.

interresting content. I'll be looking for next episodes. However it really seems like a promotional video (maybe just so really well made)
