    Didn't click, couldn't care less about this game, since Dota 2 and SMITE both scratch my MOBA itch. Good luck and have fun to those that are interested.

    As a non MOBA player, I think HotS is the perfect game to get people interested in the genre. Haven't played all classes extensively but Nazeebo is a beast when it comes to CC.

    Better to be crazy, provided you know what sane is...

    And hp and damage, yeah the game is a big unbalanced but the maps are fun

    The whole moba trend is so foreign and weird to me. Playing the same thing over and over and over again!!! Why?! I got bored after few games...

    Blizzard have done a fine job with HotS, enjoying it quite a bit, which is a surprise considering I don't really like MOBAs.

     

    Shame they couldn't do anything about the god awful communities that come with these games.

    That has to be one of the worst replies ever.  You obviously play none of them.  MOBA's are so repetitive because of the limited maps, you won't find that in any of the games you mentioned.   At least all those games you listed require some thought, little or no thinking in a MOBA.

  • GreteldaGretelda Member UncommonPosts: 359
    done. although usually i don't win these things. also as a principle rather not pay for beta keys or early access or w/e.

    my top MMOs: UO,DAOC,WoW,GW2

    most of my posts are just my opinions they are not facts,it is the same for you too.

  • expressoexpresso Member UncommonPosts: 2,218
    in Hots you dont play one map as you do in League, infact the map play has a huge effect on the game, currently 5 maps I beleiev with more to come.
  • kujo123kujo123 Member UncommonPosts: 16
    Moba with out items sorry but that will not  this game is seriouly need item combination system.
  • DarkerCZDarkerCZ Member UncommonPosts: 3

    No thinking? Really?

    Mayby you are one of these noobs, who do nothing in game, because, you not thinking :D

  • IkedaIkeda Member RarePosts: 2,751

    Honestly, I won the alpha keys.. here's my thought:

    1)  Not enough map stuff.  Some maps are just B-O-R-I-N-G and once you lose control, that's it.  No chance to come back.

    2)  Lots of hero varieties.  All have differing mechanics.  Some are more fun than others.

    3)  Too expensive to buy stuff.  But...

    4)  Everything in the shop can be bought with time and effort.....

    5)   Lot's and lot's and lot's of time....

     

    I genuinely don't think it'll survive but who knows... Blizz fans are Blizz fans.  I like Blizzard but this isn't fun.

  • BattlerockBattlerock Member CommonPosts: 1,393
    I received my invite a few days ago, logged in checked it out, blah blah blah, it has some minor differences, but a moba is a moba. I would probably have just shot myself if I would have purchased the early access - I wouldn't be surprised to see this game just tank. It's boring and it's clearly a cash grab, blizzard has jumped the shark, I think it started with Cata, and a stunt like heroes just proves it even more so.
  • JayFiveAliveJayFiveAlive Member UncommonPosts: 601
    The more I see of this game the more i like. Really dig the focus on skills rather than items. Played Dota for like 7 years, played LoL for 3, and tried out Dota2, but eh felt too much of the same. HOTS seems like it's different enough to make an impact, though probably will never come close to the king that is LoL.
  • aslan132aslan132 Member UncommonPosts: 630

    Im actually glad Blizz is branching out into other genres. Every game they release they learn more and more how WoW was just a fluke, and they never again will corner a market.

     

    Hearthstone couldnt put a dent into the CCG genre, HoTS wont be able to dent LoL let alone the MOBA genre, even Overwatch is a poor mans TF2 and wont hurt them either. Blizzard needs to learn that just because it says Blizz doesnt mean its a cash cow. 

     

    As for Heroes of The Storm, sure it has a couple of nice ideas to it, but that makes it a niche MOBA, not the new king. Anyone who is serious about MOBAs is playing LoL. They will be lucky to do as good as Dota2 or SMITE, but I have my doubts about even that. Maybe something more on the Heroes of Newerth scale.

    Chess and football only have one map. . .

     

    you obviously never played either. . .

    When you said that has to be one of the worst replies ever, did you mean your post? Chess have only 1 board, bridge and poker use the same deck of cards, football uses only 1 "map".

    You don't need any thought to play a MOBA? Really? Maybe you are getting your genres confused. MMORPGS and FPS games don't require any thinking or skill, mobas have a very high skill ceiling and they require quite a bit of thought to come up with strategies.

    There are 110 heroes in dota. Even after 5k hours you won't be able to play even half of them properly.

    Mission in life: Vanquish all MMORPG.com trolls - especially TESO, WOW and GW2 trolls.

    I got into the alpha and play each day for the dailies.  It's a decent time killer and is certainly more noob friendly than other MoBAs.  I can't imagine this making a dent in the competitive MOBA scene though.
  • AlumicardAlumicard Member UncommonPosts: 388

    Rereading the announcement....I was wondering how this is possible:

    "We have partnered with Blizzard Entertainment to give away 3000 Beta Access Keys!"

    and

    "Blizzard Entertainment is not a sponsor or administrator of this offer"

     

    Didn't Blizzard sponsor the keys? Did you hack them or how did you MMORPG.com get those keys? It isn't from Blizzard because you said  so which leaves few options on how to obtain that amount of keys and none that I can imagine are legal. Can you please clarify that because I dont want to throw CFAA in the room but  it seems weird to me. How can you partner with someone owning something you offer but that partner isnt a sponsor? Not a lawyer here so just curious.
