    Default Blizzard Dota Trailer

    Soz if been posted before



    Actually pretty impressive... (Except for the announcer)

    Top comment on youtube is a lol "Obviously, the strongest part of this game is the plot."

    They should call it Blizzard MOBA instead. This is like a desperate attempt to maintain the playerbase they'll loose to DOTA2.

    They planning on 20-25 minute matches. Rush and cheese strategies coming up...

    Desperate attempt to maintain a player base? I'm confused do you pay subs for War3 and DOTA? Both DOTA2 and Blizzard DOTA will be f2P so not exactly sure where all this desperate player base maintaining is coming in.

    Also good job on completely dismissing a game and trumpeting it's 'rival' (I would argue they are just different games from the same genre) without actually playing either. Typical dota player bullcrap, now all we need is an explanation of why hon/lol is awesome and the other sucks donkeyballs.

    Personally I'm interested to see what Blizzard comes up with, might be a nice change of pace and maybe a little bit more easily digestible MOBA game than some of the more traditional variants.

    I agree but I do not like the map. I prefer lush green foilage, too "mechanical".

    Yeah the mech feel was pretty weird but I suppose this is Starcraft. They did say they were going to be brining out more maps to mix things up a bit which would be nice.

    I feel this will be a more casual "for teh lulz" alternative to the more competitive DOTA 2, LoL and HoN. It'll be fun playing with all the characters we've come to know and love from the Blizzard universe. I'm a LoL player nowadays but I'll definitely play this now and then once it's out.

    DOTA 2 is definitely looking to capture the eSports scene, very strong feature set to support competitive play.
