Ok, so global exp and map-.specific objectives are innovative, i can live with that. It still doesn't make the game an 8 like Phantom suggested. The only thing that really makes HoTS going is the map-cycle and that's probably the reason IGNSalty went for 6.5 and not 5.0. I like the game, but it has the same stagnating feeling as dota/lol because of the fixed roles. And it certainly doesn't help when Specialist and Assassin becomes more and more of the same thing.

And i wasn't trying to be a giant prick, but the guy clearly has some arguments going for himself while you guys seem to be more subjective on your opinion, because you enjoy playing the game and he doesn't.

Or maybe a lot of people here can have a more objective opinion about certain qualities of the game because they actually tried it for a bit and don't make judgments based of false "facts"?

Even HoN had map specific objectives. People just didn't bother playing the other maps.

Are you guys watching the youtube livestream? Butcher looks like a meta changer with his combo potential. And the new map looks really awesome. Plus more Diablo content is a very welcome announcement.

No its clearly not, this is an insane semantic argument.

Those things more or less constitute a new take on the genre akin to say a game like Advanced Warfare for CoD with its movement mechanics, are there innovative elements? certainly. Is the game innovative as a whole? probably not.

Being innovative or not has no real bearing on how good the game is though unless the innovation is outstanding akin to something like Assassin's Creed I

HotS's design completely changes how the game is played compared to other MOBA's.

Comparing that to the few changes each new edition of CoD makes is being purposefully dense.

A lot of the hate for HotS (not including legitimate gripes like gated talents and the slow grind for gold) comes from DotA/LoL (but mostly DotA) diehards that bitch about the things that make HotS different, and yet this game would be widely panned if it tried to be a simple copy of DotA/LoL.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Ahaha I love the inspire. Carbot has a lot to work with in HotS with all the strange lore breaking crazyness

I'm starting to really dislike the long grind for heroes. It's pretty frustrating to not be able to pick a kaelthas or sylvanas in hero league. Also when I kept losing to certain heroes in Dota I started playing them to understand their weaknesses. This can't be done in heroes and it's quite frustrating. The 'try' mode is woefully insufficient for this.

you can make an alt account. 10k of gold the first day, and another 10k in the next week.

I never saw the point of alting until you mentioned how fast the initial gold is. Although, maybe I'll try cross server play first since if the ping is tolerable I don't have to go through the hassle of logging in and out.

not to forget the stimpack on 10 will allow you to farm 2 free rotations heroes for their level 5 Gold. Unless you grab it on a tuesday that is x3 .

I can't wait for throwpit scenes in carbot videos.

That first quick match at level 1 is quite the experience though lol. Diablo walking into tower range and standing there untill death. Russian Falstad went into melee range as much as possible and without ever backing up. ETC was just on vacation most of the time, wondering about without a care in the world. Their illidan never used any skills to escape . It's madness

Second game I could gather all 10 coins from the chests by myself without any resistance and pay afterwords. I feel like an evil smurf now.

Enjoying the gameplay but I hate how expensive all the heroes are... it's even worse than league once you get past the initial level up gold =_=
