>>
>>320932084
The new hero is 15k for 2 weeks and then goes to 10k. The the shekel price doesn't change and is 10$/€. That's to make people spend real money on the new hero. Riot has been doing that for years and I bet dota would too if they sold heroes. Or cosmetics with in game currency. To be honest I actually like this model because that means less people will buy the new hero right away and you won't have to see them every game for the first week or so.
>>
>>320931653
Can't tell if you'r serious or not, so here's a real reply if you are
Not him by the way

The only mechanics HotS removes have to do with the farming phase of every other moba, in HotS you can not fall behind because of a number that allows them to buy things necessary for their hero, instead your worth to your team entirely depends on your skill.
>>
>>320932442
If you can't understand why having RNG in a multiplayer game that tries to push itself as competitive is a bad idea then you're a lost cause.

>>
>>320933024
People will own it. Pros, whales and retards that can't into managing their gold. Pros and whales are outside my mmr so I don't care and retards are everywhere so might as well keep the poor retards from ruining my matches.

And after the two weeks, people will already have already figured out the best builds for the new hero so the people that buy it for 10k will suck less.

Yeah it benefits the company but that doesn't make it evil. I think it's mutually beneficial, I understand some people will think otherwise and I understand that people want to play the new hero.
But I don't want to play with people that play the new hero, because most of them won't know how.
That's my compensation. Playing with people that know what they're doing.

the cards are predetermined then Dota might as well be because of how pRNG works.

Every time you pick up a card you're more likely to get the card you want the next time you pick it up a card Same applies to Dota.

MOBA is, whether you like it or not, the genre name. Call it ASSFAGGOT all you want, it won't change anything.

Smash covers everything that makes a game a fighting game. Just because it lacks depth doesn't make it a completely different genre.

I'm a huge LoL player but most of the cast cost 6300ip, and you gain around 50 per game, except for the first win of the day. Plus since you have to grind to level 30, buy runes, page runes.... it's pretty much as cancerous.

They're fun and encourage you to not stick to one hero or one role. And they don't even require you to win(only one does)
>Leveling up
Just getting yourself to level 40, which doesn't take nearly as long as it does in LoL, will net you quite a hefty amount of gold.
>Leveling heroes
Every hero you get to level 5, which is like 3-4 games with them, gets you 500 gold. Level 9 gets you 750.

Buying heroes in LoL is a fuckton more time consuming.

I really don't get Blizzard's strategy for HoTS. I could name probably 30-40 recognized, deserving heroes to be in HoTS and instead they make donut steels like Lunara.

Greymane is alright I guess, just to have a Worgen in the game, but come on, a fucking made up Dryad?

Blizzfags really are delusional

Dota 2 is miles behind League of Legos in popularity but even so Dota 2 still has a playerbase at least twice the size of HotS

>LeL is such a boring minion farming fest that people at a fucking world championship cheer for people killing Wards because it's literally the only thing happening

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u1-iFwPxbA&

I'll stick with my mindless Hero Brawler in which stuff actually happens, you fight the enemy players and the games last 20 minutes, over a "HARDCORE CUZ IT HAS ITEMS!" MOBA that encourages doing nothing but PvE for the first 25 minutes of the 40 minute games.
>>
>>320941484
Zul'jin has been seen already when they were showing off models of Cho'gall and Rexxar so he's coming eventually. I just want a shadow hunter or something cool.
>>
>>320942731

What the fuck happened to LoL? It was never amazing when I last played, but in those 3+ years it seems like it's just gone to absolute shit.
>>
>>320942731
This.

Fuck spending the first 15 minutes of every game doing the exact same thing over and over and over and over and over. Last hits can choke on a bag of dicks. HotS removed so much of the boredom of every other MOBA.

>>320942156
>why are you playing something fun when you could play shitty meme >esports games and show off the amazing skill of right clicking creeps when they're about to die?
>>
>>320942731
>>320943021

Bloodline Champions was exactly that; 3v3 pure arena fights and no one played it because it actually had a skill floor and barely any RNG.
Then the funcoming happened and the game got MOBA-ized and it's gotten even more dead than it was before.

Fuck everything.
>>
>>320935770
Gee, the super casual F2P game is just slightly less popular than the other casual F2P MOBA and they both have more players than the difficult and complex game?
What a surprise!

Happened long before I quit.

Back then the esports scene was forced, but people actually cheered when something relevant happened. Now people are cheering at a fucking ward kill.

Seriously, the fuck happened to LoL?

>play with a friend, you´ll overpower everyone
is this shit for fucking 12 year olds
esports scene confirmed for a joke. A JOKE.
>>
>>320940008
>They're fun and encourage you to not stick to one hero or one role.
No, forcing you to play a certain role or a certain subset of heroes is bad, especially when your pool is severely limited due to not spending 250€ to unlock three heroes.

>Leveling up
That much is true, you get quite a lot from leveling up your account and your individuel heroes

However, that's not satisfying. You don't feel rewarded from winning the game. Quests are bad enough already but especially the "Play 3 games as XY" quests suck. You don't feel accomplishment. It's the ultimate participation medal. Since when is it no longer okay to lose in video games?
>>
>>320942882
LoL crowd drinks memes like a sponge. Someone started cheering for a ward kill during S2 finals and it sticked around to this day.
>>
>>320943393

>play with a friend, you'll overpower everyone

You realize he takes up 2 hero slots, has one of the lowest winrates in the game and is easily countered by CC since it's 2 heroes in one body, right?

No of course you don't, shitposting is easier.
>>
>>320943270
They owned them since 2011. I'm amazed that people made such a big news out of it now that the deal is slightly more upfront.
>>
>>320943393
He's awful.
Instead of one turdfaggot you get two.
And him dying counts as a double kill; so my team will always pursue him for double the xp.
Include the fact he has only one escape and no hard cc; he's fucking shit bruv.

m8 there's a reason why 12 year olds played the original dota back when it was poplar

Nigger, you can ignore the quests if you want. Fact is, you have ways of earning a fuckton more gold and buyin heroes a lot more quickly than you can in LoL.

>However, that's not satisfying.
How exactly am I supposed to refute this argument? I'm sorry you don't feel satisfaction in that. I do. It's enormously satisfying getting loads of dosh just for having fun.

>Since when is it no longer okay to lose in video games?
When did video games become a fucking job? I just want to play and have fun. Going on a losing streak, which is impossible to avoid in games like this sometimes - just by the power of odds and statistics - is frustrating enough without having the game go "Sorry about your losing streak. No, you can't have any money until the RNG smiles on you."

Last hitting for 20 minutes without any action is LoL territory though, not Dota.
I'm surprised there hasn't been any incident yet where someone fell asleep in the middle of the tournament.
>>
>>320944037
Without a doubt.

>>320944072
I have like 450 games total played and I have a sizable amount of heroes unlocked and even have gold saved up for when a new one comes out.

I mean, the grind in the game is ridiculous, but there's no need for such extreme hyperbole.
>>
>>320944072
And what are your options in LoL, faggot? Yeah, I thought so. Even just with leveling bonuses, you can still buy more heroes in HotS with less time played. Especially considering a HotS game is half the length of a LoL game. That half being the first half where you do fucking nothing but last hit. Or if you're support, you just sit around and occasionally re-ward.
>>
Where do people even get numbers about HotS' popularity?

We get Riot infographics every once in a while and Valve tracks player stats 24/7 but Blizzard?
>>
>>320944247
There are no options in LoL, which is why I only play it once every few months when my neighbour convinces me to "give it another try".

I've never seen a more shameless attempt at artificially increasing the player count.
Whatever number they'll report in the future might as well be divided by 5.

>>320944779
you say that like LoL didn't have this same issue 100x worse when they added a referral system. Some people I know have had accounts referred to their 'main' by 10+ new accounts they use just to grind rewards and troll
>>
>>320943216
Didn't have really any marketing. If it was made by blizzard and released just when the arena craze was at peak in WoW it would have been massively successful I think.
I personally found out about the game 2 years after it completely died out

Fix the matchmaking.
Rework some of the heroes talents, especially some of the supports. Some heroes are way too cookiecutter.
Make the objectives in some scenarios not so big deal, giving you a choice to ignore it and pursue something else.
Fix Rexxar and other Tier9 shit heroes.
Make early game deaths more costly.
Add more old characterers and make them more variable. People love to see the old dudes who are familar to you. Like why to give Lunara when you already have Cenarius? It gives the feel that hero developement is totally backwards.
Fix the fucking bugs.

>>320941687
They're doing that because they expect Hots to be a long term game and they're churning out heroes pretty fast.

They don't want to run out of iconic ones too fast because they're the ones that can make people check out the game.
>>
>>320945405
LoL raf required so many accounts that you'd go mad trying to grind them yourself. It felt like this feature was meant only for e-celebs who promoted LoL.
>>
>>320945980
Im sorry to say, but im absolutely sure that we never get to see any Diablo 2 stuff, even tho Diablo himself is the D2 incarnation of him.
Blizzard has thrown the D2 stuff to trash and just sticks with the D3 stuff (wich is not so interesting but easier to get into).
>>
>>320946308
They're gonna run out of D3 shit sooner or later though.
D2 stuff will come, unless Hots dies in two years.
>>
>>320946308
Can't find a source for it right now, but I'm pretty sure Blizzard said they're planning on getting some D2 heroes in, somewhere down the line.
>>
>>320946308
At least they're making the D3 heroes fun. Kharazim is a fucking blast to play.
