Yeh I think there is still room to revolutionaze on the current MOBA formula. Thats something Blizzard was best at in the past, building upon other game companies' ideas. For that reason I believe this thing with attrocious name will have a decent impact and will bring something new to the table that will make a lot of other game designers wonder why they didnt think of that. Either they do that or this will be doomed from the start. We dont really want a more polished LoL or DotA. | ||

So, we'll have to wait till Blizzcon and see. I dont understand why anyone would think that this is a joke? I mean whats the point? | ||

There's no immersion/lore that explains that so the title should reflect what it is. Yeah, and it is based off of DotA All Stars. (Take note, Dota All Stars and Dota 2 are basically the same thing. The "original" DotA is made by Eul, who is with Valve and Dota 2 now but it was basically sort of the starting point. "All Stars" was like the expansion for the original DotA and it was by Guinsoo, Icefrog, etc. It is very important to note that Dota 2 is currently based of the DotA All Stars which was built from DotA by Eul which was based off of Aeon of Strife mod in SC1.) Though I actually do think Blizzard All Stars does sound too generic. DotA All Stars was "Defensive of the Ancients" (which was already a map) All Stars (basically like an expansion pack for DotA). However Blizzard All Stars is just their company name (Blizzard) and All Stars (yes, it does describe what it is but the way DotA did it, it made more sense because it was an expansion to Eul's DotA). Heroes of the Storm is better name. Speaking of names, it reminds me of Eve of the Apocalypse (EotA - does this abbreviation remind you of something >.>?) which is another awesome WC3 mod (it isn't the same thing as DotA but it's more of a mix of traditional WarCraft 3 and DotA). EotA is great, too bad it was overshadowed by DotA. I didn't at first recognize the connection. Blizzard, the word, is a type of Storm. Wow. Blizzard are geniuses. That is actually awesome. Kudos to Blizzard for that (and it doesn't have to sound generic like Blizzard All Stars) but it still shows what it is (Heroes of the Storm or Storm being Blizzard). | ||

Icefrog deserves 95% of the credit for DotA, though, and here's why: Dota before Icefrog made it (i.e. pre-Allstars) was a mess. It was fun as hell, but it was super imbalanced, buggy, and, in some instances, flat-out ridiculous (some of those heroes...). Icefrog took it and made it into a phenomenon. Eul deserves credit for the original idea, Guinsoo for making it more streamlined, and Icefrog for taking it from "decent niche custom map" to multi-million dollar enterprise. | ||
