Have been playing Heroes of Newerth for 4years dy.

As for me, RTS is damn boring, it's a waiting game....

MOBA is more fun and entertaining.

Different people different taste, can't really say which genre is better

Anyway, for all those haters out there, they will still wait for this game regardless good or not

meh dun rant all the complaint, its free and you all can choose to try or not, btw its free anyway.. cant hurt to try some

dev interview

This game doesn't have last-hitting or deny. It's more like WoW battlegrounds from RTS view.

Not sure how Dota fans feel about that.

It doesnt mean that every game has to be the same as Dota and there is no harm to play both for different experience. HoTS is definitely more casual which is a good thing as both Dota and LoL are almost impenetrable for new players.

Why are there so many MOBA and Sim racing fans think that if you can only choose one while hate/belittle the others? There is no legislation saying that you only can play one game or every game has to be designed to be like SC2/Dota/CoD.

aaah i only saw the video after goldfries shared it on facebook.

the cinematic looking very good.

Cinematic trailers look awesome. Only thing the in-game graphics look meh. Is it me or it's worst that Dota

It uses the same SC2 engine. I think Dota 2 is probably the best looking MOBA out there, followed by HoN.

LoL is probably the ugliest out there.

i watched the gameplay and can't see any familiar SC sprites other than marine.

It uses the same engine as SC2, just that they made some new models for HS.

The some of the environment textures or doodads seemed recycled from SC2 in the video.

those are the same people that argue on COD vs BF series.

I know and I'm getting really tired of it because these fanboys will make it very hard to have a balanced view on both games.

yeah, you can't have proper discussions with such people. all things bad, only what they like is good.

That's partly why I never really got into MOBAs. The community in general is just toxic.

Very reason why i was put off by MOBA.

game seems epic, since most of us play blizzard games way back, its fun to see diablo getting nuke

but i fear the era of MOBA has come, and this marks the demise of RTS. its rare to see good RTS nowadays.

still makes me wonder those who are already so into LoL & dota, will they jumpship over to HotS?

hmmm well they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
i find LoL 's portrait art quite nice.
the in game graphics have its own style.

but if by "general populace nice graphics" standard than yeah, DOTA2 > HoN > LoL
gameplay wise i think LoL will get more casual players since the game is less punishing as it focuses on other things.

hmm i'm not too much into LoL & DOTA2 so i will try out HotS, because, epic blizzard games heroes and villains haha.

will play more if they offer daily bonuses etc and if the core gameplay mechanics is casual enough.
given how casual heartstone is i think this HotS will be very casual friendly too.

which is a good thing.
or bad. haha.

look at candy crush saga. 10 million players!

After Diablo 3, I aint putting much hope in Blizzard especially even after they tried to fix it with RoS.

Well, just look at the post on top of this page, some people find RTS to be too tedious and its a waiting game. I really doubt we'll see a resurgence of RTS in the next few years.

I doubt those hardcore LoL or Dota fans will play HS as they seemed to have an unwritten rule that you only can choose to play one while you must belittle the others. HS seemed to be the sort of game that is designed for more casual players. I do like that each match only last for 20 minutes.

I never really like that 3D style as it felt like the polygons were very rough which made the textures look flat which made it to be the ugliest for me as I never really like games with that sort of 3D style.

HS would be perfect for more casual gamers but I cant deny that Dota 2 is pretty fun.
