Pass on this. If they integrate this one's launcher with one of their actual games I could see many people giving it a try (and more). | ||

They know what happens when copies go after the thriving original, they own WoW :p Pass on this.

Ultima Online is... and Everquest was the one that popularized it. WoW blew everything else out of the market (and grew the market at least 100-fold in the process). | ||

You can imagine a black hole opening near mar sara, This black hole sucked in the wc3 heros and the diablo heros inside. Now they all poped out in the sc universe.

It's also confusing to have "dire" and "radiant" heroes on the same team in Dota. Why are they killing the ancient? Where do the infinity minions spawn, etc. If you're going to look at this game from a storyline point of view then you're going to have a bad time. | ||

One game that comes to mind with a relatively high skill floor was Team Fortress 2. It was a very good game with a lot of strategic elements, builds, etc. However, the game was hard to play for a semi-casual like me. So, it's good to play it safe and work your way up like LoL did! Right now, Blizzard wants the community to define the game first before making the next step, and I think that's a very smart move. Again, remember that this is the alpha stage, so there's still a lot more for growth (if you look at how Blizzard develops its games, you will know that alpha stage is usually nothing compared to the final product). I am pretty sure that Blizzard does have the eSports image in mind but wants the game to develop organically along with the gamers before making its statement as an eSports game. | ||

It's good to start the skill floor to the approach level to recruit more people to test out the game.

Couldn't of said it better myself. Blizzard is first and fore most trying to make the game FUN. Which it should firstly cause it is a game. Give the community the tools to maybe take it a little further and see where it goes from there. They did this perfectly with Hearthstone. Game is easy to get into but not only that it's fun to play. As you can see with that game, if it's fun the community will try and take it to the next step. 100k views for an online card game... in Blizzard I trust! | ||

Not deep but it'll be fun to play here and there when my friends aren't up for some Dota. Hopefully unlocking new heroes doesn't require a grind as huge as LoL's, because that would conflict with what I want out of this game. Haha good one | ||

Also keeping in mind this game is in alpha phase, there is a lot of time to improve and the polish will be there in the final product. I currently don`t see it replacing Dota as my "go to" game, but I would definitely try this with friends. | ||

I know most people don`t agree, but I actually like them removing the whole last hit and creep farming mechanic. That laning/farming phase is boring for me in Dota. Not sure how I feel about the shared global exp though. As for lack of items, that may limit diversity greatly, but I am hopeful the talent tree can help fill that gap (still not entirely sure how it works).

You can go extremely aggressive from -30 seconds and keep the pace if you want. Or you can sit back and afk burning farm. Something this game lacks. | ||

They won't be tying it's launcher to one of their games, they'll be tying it to ALL of them  And Stitches should have been The Butcher Stitches is a WoW monster from duskwood questline.. was super fun back in the day | ||
