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 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. | ||

It'll compete more closely with LoL imo, which afaik doesn't have the in-game spectating like DOTA, correct? On September 27 2012 16:09 Flummie wrote: 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 Actually, they removed it from Battle.net and put it elsewhere: http://us.media.blizzard.com/all-stars/index.html (aka blizzardallstars.com). On September 27 2012 16:46 Nihilnovi wrote: Wait, so there is no lasthitting...? No denying is the primary reason i hate LoL, this is going to be rubbish :/ Correct, no LH and no denies. It'll be interesting, for sure. The goal is to encourage early aggression, so you'll be focusing down the heroes rather than hanging out behind the creeps. We'll see how it goes. There's also the health-globe system that was put in place instead of LH/D, so it's possible you may still focus creeps... I'll get into that in my 4th video I believe. On September 28 2012 07:32 Destructicon wrote: 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. Very true, however like I said above (and like you've pointed out) they're just taking the depth and moving it elsewhere. | ||

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 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'm not "trying" to speak like anyone, I'm simply "teaching" what Blizzard All-Stars is all about. If you think I sound like Day9, then I believe that's a compliment,  .On September 29 2012 04:56 Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo wrote: I don't consider Blizzard Allstars at something that will even attempt to rival DotA (2), LoL or HoN - how could it.

It's got lots of unique/different features and Blizzard knows how to make an eSport (obviously), in addition to what you've just mentioned, epic heroes! These are the three major things that I believe will make this game compete with DOTA2/LoL/HoN. On September 29 2012 04:56 xHadoken wrote: ehh. I think as an esport it will not go well But as a game I am looking forward to playing it!Morhaime actually said they'd be pushing it as an eSport, so it's definitely a possibility, especially because all of the features are already in place (spectating, replays, etc). On September 29 2012 05:14 Gfire wrote: 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.

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. Hahaha, I wasn't exactly going for a sales pitch, but if it hyped you up and you learned something, then I've done my job! On September 29 2012 05:56 vinsang1000 wrote: interresting content. I'll be looking for next episodes. However it really seems like a promotional video (maybe just so really well made) Thanks, I think? I suppose it's definitely some form of promotion, but I'm just trying to get everyone on the same level so there aren't any surprises come Beta, . | ||
