IMO it takes years of RTS experience to even think of playing sc2 at even a semi-pro level at this point, whereas i think someone who is good at warcraft 3 or sc2 (or obviously other mobas) would be able to develop the tools and knowledge needed to be a top-tier professional within a year of playing. then again what do i know. i only used to play team games in warcraft 3 with the guy that freaking invented DOTA, Eul =/ Had seen tons of dudes with the same idea, in other mobas like LoL or Dota 2 and had yet to see them succed or even at least be decent in those games. Im telling you i know like 20 guys with that idea, they all blow. Don't know of RTS pro's either that made it into Mobas pro scene. | ||

Then there's BabyKnight, who started in Dota 1, went to SC2, and is back to Dota 2. | ||

I don't think these guys are going to be flying all over the world. Just some small online events and Blizzcon. | ||

However, knowing that bitterness and hatefulness usually nag much more on the sender than they do on their recipients, I do hope for IdrA that he is working / has worked things out, and will have a lot of fun in Heroes. Looking forward to checking him out. Also, for an SC2 fan who is interested in Heroes, it's cool to see a familiar name. | ||

Starcraft 2 doesn't have a microtransaction system built into it, so I don't think Heroes of the Storm would have worked as a custom map, in the business sense. Plus, there's a much better opportunity for promotion to present it as a standalone game, rather than a custom map that you have to download SC2 in order to play. | ||

He really does sound happy and not that somethings just gnawing at him in the back of his mind like he did whenever he did an SC2 interview. I think it's pretty amusing that he likes the design philosophy / balance aspects of Heroes so much when it's being lead by Dustin Browder and we all know what he thought of SC2 lol. But hey, I'm happy that he's found something he likes and so far I think Heroes looks pretty cool and I've even started getting into watching some of the tournament / league games. | ||

Good Job Alex proving all your critics that you are indeed a hypocrite. Soon again some racists yes? Lol, can't believe people are still so salty over that one post. But making one bad-taste joke is definitely deserving of a lifetime ban from an organization, clearly deserves worse punishment than stream cheaters, map hackers, and all the match-fixing that just happened in DotA 2. | ||
