i find it curious that i never see any kind of streams of heroes on twitch. is the community still so small, that no one cares or does no one bother to stream the game at all?

NDA
No one is allowed to stream it unless Blizzard gives them the greenlight.

I think its because Blizzard wants a lot of the game still a mystery until they move into open beta. Usually open beta opens up stream opportunities.

There are a lot of streams. Haven't you checked twitch before posting this ?

Most streams rarely get to the three digits, because well, there is almost no hype for this game, and it is only logical since most people can't try it out, so why would they switch their interest into a game on "alpha" phase when they already have their well stablished MOBAs of choice.

Later on, maybe more people will get interested, and i am sure all this stuff for Blizzcon is done to try to start hyping the game (and probably following it with invite waves afterwards). But to me it looked like Blizzard's decission to stay on low profile with this game for quite long time, to try to get the game right before going full advertisiment.

I go to twitch every day, but I hardly seek out any moba titles. I noticed Storm streamers a couple times, but I am not invested in those streamers.

Yeah Idra is the most recognizable name as far as heroes streamers are concerned, but he streams on mlg.tv so you won't see him

Ahhh I didn't know that. mlg.tv must be giving a better cpm for advertising. I heard twitch is horrible, but I could be wrong. Besides twitch forces nda on all streamers, so they can't explicitly state the revenue through advertising. I think Destiny alluded that twitch ad revenue is not that great, and that's why he switched to own3d.tv.

Not really hyping HotS right now, but definitely going to give it a try when Chinese server launched (which is hopefully very soon...)

Well obviously you all guys have a decent point with this being a site revolving around a Blizzard game, plus all the other points you made which makes no sense to repeat here, and generally I can relate to a lot of your points and agree.

However, I cant escape the immpresion that the attention this game is getting is forced if anything. It is so artificial and non organical even if I put your arguments in the equation.

Why would you think that? How can you even measure whether the "general hype" of a community is organic or not?

And how do you figure that this is being forced down our throats? You think blizzard has tl in its pocket or something? This is a gaming website where we post about games.

Too bad it's still closed though... would love to take a look at it.

this. Would've given HoTS a try had it been open or something otherwise sounds like fun but who knows. Thanks for the interview and ya, Idra feels really relaxed based on that lol

Heroes fun game I actually enjoy playing it, I dont enjoy dota 2 and never tried league.

As for idra guy is a joke right now he is king of the scrubs and casuals, he will love it till money comes in and so do decent players, then he starts getting stomped by Chinese and Korean players, then it will be game is designed badly it's in balanced game, these people don't play the game the right way cry cry cry into retirement.

Calling someone a joke because he retired is pretty weak. Look you can dislike IdrA all you want but you can't deny his success in SC2 and BW. For a foreigner the stuff he did is pretty huge.

As for Heroes in general, I think it's way too early to say anything. I for one think IdrA could do really well since the mechanical skillcap is obviously lower and IdrA always had the tactical part going for him.

Guy's earned the right to be the biggest casual of all time given how long he stuck it out in the Kespa system in BW lol, he seems to be relaxed and enjoys Heroes, which I don't think you could say about him and SC2, especially the latter period of his career.
