I mean, they modeled the individual veins on Illidan and Diablo's arms. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2013/november/illidan.jpg) | ||

One of the many reasons I prefer Dota above LoL. Really don't like this :/ | ||

Also, I gather matching with noobs will hurt your game even more in HotS huh? This is what I'm concerned about... I played two games today at Blizzcon and wasn't really feeling it. Pure skill can carry games in LoL, but based off of some of the design elements in the game that I've seen, and from what Dustin Browder was saying (somebody actually asked him a question very similar as far as skill differentiation will go), they are actively trying to stay away from that sort of thing happening... which blows my mind. It almost seems like they're trying way too hard to make a statement. Browder always has his slants and odd perspectives with how his vision of games should go, and he made it sound like nine people are waiting for a dude to win the game since he got fed, which yeah is true in some cases but it isn't always as hopeless and bland as he made it out to be. We'll see how it turns out. It's still way too early to be making any bold claims about the game | ||

10 additional heroes already panned out and more coming. don't know how many heroes available at release they have a list of hundreds of heroes they can pull from and they want a good balance of heroes from each universe but they are mostly focused on the quality of heroes rather than quantity. aiming for double the amount of maps. 4 right now and ideally 8+ at open beta / launch they intend maps to be unlockable so its not overwhelming abathar's ability is teleporting to heroes and playing off their abilities eventually, game will be moddable with user created maps like in sc2. not at launch, but sounds like it is something they will definitely do because the genre was originally a mod created by a user and they want to keep that potential in this game | ||

It's fucked up and extremely dissapointing. They've got shareholders to please. There are more casuals than hardcore competitive gamers out there. | ||

What the hell happened? This is my biggest concern. There are so few ways to differentiate yourself, both in mechanical skill and in in decision/item choices, its hard to see this having much of a serious fan base.

Anywho, the game doesn't look particularly interesting aside from being able to play well-known Blizzard characters. I'll have to give a try myself though. Could be a fun break from Dota/SF4 every once in a while. | ||

Actually I think LoL might have been the only game ever (or at least for a long time) to have an esports scene (although funded by the company) while requiring you to pay to unlock non-cosmetic content. Apparently there is no possibility to release such a game with an actual price tag (Cosmetics are far too lucrative). | ||
