Its a Moba with Blizzard characters. It is supposed to have some new mechanics to make it more player friendly. They just need a system get rid of the asshats that play mobas now :)

This sounds interesting. I tried Dota2, but felt that I was just too slow and unknowledgeable and just in the way. I could never time that last hit correctly, etc. etc.

If this game is more player friendly it is worth a try for me. Now if they can just find a way to enforce something like the play nice policy Everquest used to have, this may be a winner. Because a lot of the time, what is really turning me off from these games (anything you play against more or less real humans) is the trash talking, cussing, namecalling, etc.

If you want a game of LoL or DoTA Darakor just PM or leave a message on here. I find playing with people you know are friendly makes these games fun. You can still be a good player without last hitting, you could go support or jungle and be a master ganker :)

The Blizzard ethos behind the game (as with all of them) will make it the traditional East to Play, Hard to Master model. We're hoping that it'll attract a different style of player, especially as it's more team-focused than other MOBAs: no last-hits, XP is shared between the team, not individual, etc.

There're hardcore MOBA players here who love it so far.

I am fine with easy to learn and difficult to master. If the wankers are kept out (aside from us lot, that is ;-) ) that is the most important news for me. :) I get enough grief at work, I really do not need it in a game.

Will definitely check it out then. :)

No. I'm not a MOBA expert, though I have played enough LoL to know that the community is probably the most toxic I've come across online. Heroes is fast, fun, accessible and challenging in all the good ways.

I've been waiting on this one for a while :D
The main reason I stopped playing LoL/DOTA is down to the community there, so I'm hoping this one will not attract too many cocks.

How deep is the skill system? One of the things I really liked about LoL was the runes/skills/items to vary things out, it also allowed you to vary it up depending on who you were facing (magic resist vs physical resist, etc.) I know that blizz will want to simplify it to an extent, but not too much please :D

Don't' worry matey - i'm sure mixing the LoL forum monkeys with Blizzards will work wonders for the community :)

looks like they've done the same thing with HotS as hearthstone. Not allowing cross-team chat, at least that's halved the amount of possible aggro :p

I'm wondering how the competitive aspect of this game will draw out, I hope blizz push it like they have with SC2.

Reviving Necropost for the win...

Are there any news on this? I saw a founders pack or something like that for sale in the Blizz store and saw a trailer for it that looked good. I also saw that it is in closed beta. Any idea on when this is supposed to be published?
