Waiting for more news

a bit late to join the bandwagon ehh

DOTA 1/2 is (still) the best mmorpg created by Blizzard.

it's Blizzard. they are in a whole different league.

not anymore. they've gone downhill.

last time WoW also late to MMO party

However, the competition are quite smart this time. Valve has a very strong fan base who will worship Valve while Valve has been doing almost everything correctly and perfectly with Dota 2. Riot on the other hand, has shit load of money to throw around since they are owned by Tencent as they said, if you have money, you can literally do anything you please.

Blizzard on the other hand, their game's quality are declining sharply while their SC2 esport support has been declining too due to numerous mistakes by Blizzard.

I am not saying that Riot and Valve are invulnerable to Blizzard or Blizzard is bound to fail miserably. It is definitely gonna be interesting to see how it goes now.

for me dota 2 always .. unless they find a way to make competitive supports get more light

well true, last time, they got lucky with WoW but WoW is steadily declining as well.
d3 is shit and sc2 is not doing too well.

strongly agree. sc2 is good, juz the exposure/competition/marketing thing/player base not that huge compare to dota2/lol/hon atm. mayb blizz fail in promoting sc2?
sc2 is very competitive and very fun to watch for me.

Nah, its more like Blizzard screwed up too much with SC2. The custom map community is still more or less dead while it is hard to find custom games. Then, competitively, Blizzard screwed up their World Series Championship pretty badly this year as they thought they can go head to head against The International, which is plain dumb as viewers will not be able to keep up with 2 major tournaments in one weekend. At the end, there were less viewer for SC2 as everyone's watching Dota 2. It feels like you are trying to host Euro Cup quarter finals on the same day where World Cup Finals is held. I wont comment on balance as i havent been playing that much but i think its just not as solid as SC1.

SC2 is still a good RTS, probably the best RTS made in the last 5 years but it had the same problem as COH2 where both games have really big shoes to fill. In my opinion, I think both of them failed to live up to the expectations from its predecessor.

D3 on the other hand, what the fishes are they doing with it? It is literally the worst game ever made by Blizzard to me to the point that ARPG made by small indie developers like Neocore's The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, Grinding Gear Games' Path of Exile and Crate Entertainment's Grim Dawn are far better than D3 in some aspects without having stupid features like auction house or always online.

Will it succeed? Probably in the first few weeks as interested parties check it out and compare but will probably fade as more and more comparisons are made with the old MOBAs and due to the exhausted market pool of gamers being more comfortable with what they know. Case in point, Super Monday Night Combat. It's a fun twist to the MOBA genre but has it succeeded? Not so much.

Also, carbot animations make the funniest sc2 things on his channel. Check it out as I've been subscribed to him for a while now

They'll have a solid consumer base at the very least. Their fanbase ate up Hearthstone and will likely do the same for this.

i think its temporary.
people like to try out new things.

I think moba games are overrated... since dota, people been making so many similiar moba games..

now blizzard? blizzard games always gotta wait forever then they focus on getting profit first ever since after warcraft III released

I heard top Starcraft player joining LoL/Dota.. isn't that downgrade? With RTS you micro multiple units.. with LoL/Dota.. you micro 1 unit? But of course it's still a team game.

maybe mechanical downgrade, but financial upgrade

it's hard to make money in SC2 unless you are at the top tier

I have much more respect in RTS pro than any single pro MOBA player . Perhaps a RTS pro is a true leader by themselves and a pro MOBA player is a true team player? Lol. i have no idea.

When dota 2 next patch comes out i might try out this moba game
