I did an interview with Dustin Browder last week at the Heroes of the Dorm finals, though I think apart from the first and last question there's nothing actually about the tournament in there. Mostly I just asked stuff about general Heroes design and philosophy, he gives a few answers on what we can expect coming up and gives an interesting anecdote at the end that shines a lot of light on the overall Heroes game-plan.

Enjoy! OR ELSE.

A hero every 3 to 4 weeks would be nice...

Regarding balance I wish they would leave games alone more often.

He looked much better with beard and bit more fat.

Great interview! Personally I much prefer this type of sit-down interview to the lengthy blog posts/Blizzcon panels.

Depends on the faith you have that they know what makes the game better. After SC2 and D3 pre-RoS Im not so sure anymore! Although I'm having a blast playing heroes so far

its a bad answer because it delivers ZERO information on their current design philosophy. Its there as a place holder, meaningless and waste of time. In short: its a PR answer.

For example, if you were apply to a job and got the question: "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" a bad answer would be a generic one like such with no details that could demonstrate your planning ability, ambition, interest etc...

His answer is actually right imo. You don't need to commit to one side or another. You make changes the game need. Whether they could do it or not is another story but the answer is perfectly fine.

The historical context is important, given that Dustin Browder was in charge of SC2 for many years and they never bothered with significant changes in that game even if many people asked for it.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.
