EPTI don't know. The hype is pretty much gone already at this point so I guess there's really no rush to release it anymore.

In 2013 there were between 80 and 90 developers inside Blizzard working on the game. As of this writing, there are about 140 people working on Heroes of the Storm. If this is true, more people are working in heroes, than on titan, before they started again with that. During the alpha, they have added new heroes, new maps, new systems (artifacts and so, although they removed them), new levels, an reworked a lot of those systems including the interface. But im pretty sure, thats not all they have, i mean, they obviosly have more heroes that aren't finished/or are waiting for something to release them, probably more maps and probably some other systems. This was a technical alpha, and they are about to finish the technical aspect it seems, so now that i twill be in beta, i think we will see some more changes and new heroes. Also, i expect a short beta, then and open beta and "release" more or less like what valve did with dota 2 | ||

I wouldn't count on alpha ending anytime soon. They seem to have accomplished some sort of milestone, but we're still missing a proper reconnect feature, draft mode, and replays (or more specifically the ability to watch them). Those are probably the three biggest technical hurdles. I wouldn't expect a release for another six months. | ||

Also the unit responsiveness was way worse than even DotA's. | ||

Its also pretty slow to start with the forced limitations on you and stuff, so by the time you start enjoying it in the 4th match it gets boring by the 6th match. Ultimately their business model is terrible, $20 dollars for just new cosmetics, $15-20 for a mount, $20 for new heroes, those are insane prices. In Dota 2 you can purchase complete sets for heroes for only $2-3 dollars and the super high quality ones go for mostly $8-10 dollars. Only the arcana or super rare items cost more and its mostly bought by collectors. | ||

With the very limited hero pool that you need to spend money to buy, to the simplified gameplay, to no denies, no gold, no items, etc... its just too basic and stripdown to have longevity.

Only the arcana or super rare items cost more and its mostly bought by collectors. They're taking a lesson from LoL that you can charge a ton and still make money. After all sets for diablo and WC3 and mounts went for thousands. Magic players spend upwards of $300 just to have a full collection of dual lands. People spend upwards of 200$ on hearthstone to get all the legendaries and then proceed to suck balls and win when they drop Rag *mumble mumble*. LoL sells champions for $7? and legendary skins for $14. Regular ones for ~$7. Some champions are old and cost less or rarely go on sale, but yeah... I have friends who have over a dozen skins and in the lol subforum it's clear that a lot of money is spent to support Riot which in turn supports the pro scene. | ||

Is there a MMR system in place that factors into match making? How can I measure improvement in this game? | ||
