I really think blizzard's game can get pretty big. | ||

Like how support basically just puts wards down all game and the importance of that kind of stuff? | ||

So was the fighting game market (moreso actually) when Super Smash Brothers was released. The niche is the same. People will play Heroes because they want to play with their Blizzard characters, that's why I'll be playing it and I'm not even a big fan of moba games. | ||

I don't agree with a lot of what you say here. First off, the fighting games have never had a single title be so dominant over the others that it can compared to what LoL is currently. Secondly, the niche is not the same. SSB targeted a completely different group of individuals than the typical arcade FG player, they went after the casual console Nintendo fanbase. That situation differs from this one because Blizzard is targetting the same casual audience LoL already has, in fact the only defining feature of this blizzard game in the eyes of a casual will be the Blizzard IP that comes with it. The problem is 99% of moba players will not care about WHO a champ is, but HOW his mechanics are in gameplay. I mean do people really expect Blizzard's fanbase, that plays completely different games, and decided to NOT play LoL or Dota2 to suddenly love a Blizzard moba because "wow I can play as Jim Raynor now". That has never been the draw of mobas. | ||

That has never been the draw of mobas. Blizzard is the fashionable developer. LoL is currently the fashionable moba game and many people play it just because their friends do. Some of these people will move to the blizzard game just because it is blizzard, and then their friends will follow suit, and then their friends... There are a lot of people who never played D2 or anything similar (torchlight, hellgate) but that bought D3. There are many millions of people who never played an MMO but then bought WoW. Many people who never played SC1 or another macro focused rts play SC2. Many people who never played MTG will play Hearthstone. Many people who have never played lol or Dota will play Hots. | ||

That has never been the draw of mobas. ... what? The casuals care tons about skins in LoL. They love WHO a champ is. Tons of people eat the lore up. I never played a CCG, and I am sure many others haven't... but people seem to love Hearthstone. I never played an MMO before WoW, and I played the shit out of that game. Just because some didn't play LoL or DotA doesnt mean it is off limits for people. | ||
