Dustin Browder Interview



During the event where we got a quick look at The Butcher and Battlefield of Eternity we talked to Dustin Browder about the inspiration for the new hero, battleground, and regarding the development of Heroes and how matchmaking works.


I promise you other fun things too but I've since forgotten because this was a week ago now.



Be sure to check out our group developer interview with Kaeo Milker and Samwise as well!

Nice interview.

Looking forward to the new heroes on a more frequent basis and Im curious about the stats being analysed regarding the matchmaking and their importance.

so excited for this, the map looks so very good.
This is possibly their best theme so I hope the gameplay is as good as it is.

I am wondering will there be asymmetric map, SC2 for example can have the zerg side swarming in and the terran / protoss defending with fewer units.

At least he lost the beard....probably some weight too. People's nagging about SC2 probably got to him

At least regarding heroes I have no complaints so far! And when we get some more SC heroes and also Malthael and Mephisto I'll be praising Blizzard even more once again (had lost some faith due to SC2 and D3 but RoS and HoTS are restoring my hope in them).

Thanks for sharing, is it just me or does Dustin Browder look like he lost A LOT of weight?

EDIT : Oh I see, thanks for clarifying @ above posts.

EDIT 2 : So now Dustin Browder is the game director of Heroes of the storm hmm...I am a little confused with Blizzard. >_<

We talk to Dbro about the Heroes matchmaking system and the new hero and battleground.


So that's his true name ?

if you can dig up some of his old RA2 interviews from working at Westwood he has been losing weight a long time.
probably plateauing for a year or two.. and then losing more weight.
