Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that, of course, just not something I'm interested in.
As someone who is busy and likes Moba, I am happy someone is making one that takes 20 minutes and is super fun. My girlfriend wants to play Dota 2 with me, but its to much of a time sink for her(she is a musician and can't justify the time). A game like this, which has elements of Dota in it, but is a bit easier, is very exciting for me.
Lets face it, if it gets people to try it out, play and then maybe look at Dota 2 with new eyes, thats great for all of us.

It`s called a game guys, why does it absolutely need to have depth and a pro scene... So many people here trying hard to appear pro and hardcore...

I like their approach - you just cannot get a into the scene with another Dota / LoL clone - you need a new idea. Sth. S2 is also trying to do with Strife and i'm really looking forward to see how boths those game will do.
Also playtested a shitload of other MOBAs beside the two big ones but they're often just bad or overcomplicated clones than don't really add anything new or fun.

Feels like the MOBA version of WoW BGs to me.

And as someone who has spent a lot of time in BG`s, I am so fine with that.

It seems... interesting. I at first thought I liked the different maps idea, but I'm not a fan of the fact that each map has a different gimmicky mechanic.

I'd like to point out you are on teamliquid, a website which spawned from one of the most intense and deep games that had(has) an important pro scene. Do you really think its a stretch to think a majority of the user base likes deep strategic games?

I know that people on TL like to comment on the depth in games without having played them or event touched them. But this is the internet, everyone has bunches of opinions.

You get ultimates at level 10 and the game has global experience (meaning everyone on your team hits 10 at the same time).
So basically this game is a race to level 10 to see which team face rolls the other first, am i wrong?

It's not about being the new jaedong, it's about games which challenge you. Games where you can see the big difference between good players and bad players, and go from bad to good by practicing and learning about the game. When games are casualized on a huge scale like this, this difference becomes isignificant and hard to spot.
I don't care if a game doesn't have a pro scene, but if the game has no real skill difference and it's all about mashing buttons, I don't see the point in playing the game at all.

Hmm. personally i hate the idea that you buy heroes with 'in-game currency'
Rather have em all available too.
Another thing im sort of worried about is the skin system.
Cause blizzard has iconic characters, re-skinning them to be something completely different i think kinda sucks
The nova on roller skates is just silly.
Some crossovers i dont mind, like uther in a medic outfit is 'OK'
Part of why why dota 1 was so popular was because of its art style and memorable character models. (Well most of them)
Also I might be nit-picking this like crazy but...
The announcer sounds similar to LOL.
They have so many iconic characters from their games, but they decide to use that stupid generic female voice.
Also the base design is extremely similar to LOL. The stairs into the fountain?
I know all of the points i listed is not a big deal at all but i do hope they dont 'copy' too much. Be their own thing
They have probably millions of props to play around with to design the map.
Be more original blizz.
Btw i love how the game looks. Just some concerns.

I wonder what the pricing will be like for this game....or is there some info on that out already?
|
Theres no point in them making some super hardcore moba, they are never going to be able to compete with the competitive scenes of LoL and dota2. At least they are aiming to do something different with all the different maps, theres a lot of scope for these games with map editing etc...
Seems like what someone mentioned earlier where people just want a hardcore game to milk early adopter status with, be the next jaedong, or feel like they are pro for a few weeks abusing their beta experience to say they are the best before quitting when everyone catches up.

I'm quite sure they've said it'll be F2P with microtransactions for skins etc like LoL

I feel like the greatest strength to this game that people haven't mentioned much/glossed over is it looking like Blizzard's attempt to re-introduce a strong custom game environment/community that SCBW/WC3 had and they sort of failed with SC2, their 2nd chance.
I thought they were practically telling us that when they were talking about rotating map pools and the up and coming map editor. Hell, the game itself is basically looking like 3 shitty custom maps already

The editor is really a good thing, but considering the game is F2P, I don't know what kind of limitations it will have. Blizz will make no money if the editors are powerful enough to make things better than what they're selling (so there's no point in buying it).
