Cannot tell if serious or trolling. Thors are larger than the buildings that build them, Nydus worms work on space platforms and the list goes on. Plus Diablo loves his pretty, pretty pony. | ||

I havn't played a few sports I consider watch-able but that is a very small minority of sports. We aren't talking pro level, we are talking school classes, kids playing around level. I won't be watching anything at Blizzcon this year, nothing that interests me any longer. Or do they have WC3 DotA there? | ||

The objectives-oriented gameplay is going to result in far more team fights than in LoL or DoTA, which could very easily lead to HotS being a superior spectator game. The only thing holding HotS back at present is hero design. Most of the current roster of heroes are fairly rudimentary and uninteresting when compared to what you'll find in LoL. However, I'm willing to chalk this deficiency up to the game being so new. I strongly suspect that future heroes will have more dynamic skillsets. saying that LoL or Dota don't have objectives is wrong. Towers, dragon, roshan.. | ||

Constant fighting becomes fatiguing to watch. With 99% of the potential player base unable to try the game, I find it hard to see how this is "grassroots ESPORTS". Blizzard's strategy of ESPORTS HYPE before the player base and game quality is firmly established is 1 for 2 so far. It remains to be seen whether this is SC2 beta or Hearthstone beta. Most other big esports titles have followed the model of large player base and quality game -> "grassroots" esports -> ESPORTS | ||

To the extent that you're not pigeonholed into exclusively using "objective-oriented" strategies, I guess you're right? Although "objective-based dota" and "roshan control dota" are both major strategies and stock jargon. | ||

I think a lot of the crapping here comes less from people that think the game is "bad" (after all, virtually no one has played it) and more from people that feel like some of the content coming out on TL is a bit...aggressively gung-ho on pushing the game (that no one has played) for esports. | ||

Also if you get every rosh/towers, you will win pretty easily. Your game isn't a special snowflake. | ||
