Hello since the HOTS is dead now I think it is time for the devs to try out new things.
I played hots on semi high level, top 10 GM, semi professional team back in the day but it always feels something’s missing compared to other MOBA.
I know alot of people likes the current gameplay of HOTS hence I’m saying lets have a “NEW GAME MODE”
In my experience everytime I invite friends from Dota2/LOL and then they legitimately tried the game, they always have the same answer:
“It feels boring there is no Personal glory or it doesnt feel so good because there is no “ME” in team” , or something like
“It doesn’t feel good to play a moba where you feel you can’t carry a game unlike in dota/lol”
“Feels repetitive with same formula every game”
Even when I’m playing amateur/semi pro back then I’m having fun competitively but there is something distinct feeling missing.
My suggestion New Game Mode
Same Map Rotation to feel it will be still hots
Same Heroes of course To be honest HOTS is best HERO design on all out of MOBAS
Lane Creeps, Towers, Buildings and Golems/Boss have a XP Not global but only Area XP only
Abathur and other Weird Specialist Hero should have Special Mechanic.
Game has Items/Solo Kills, and Bounties if you are killing alot of people
Gold, you farm gold via soaking Lanes, Doing Camps, Killing a hero and destroying buildings.
I really like the Blizzard Universe, been a long time Warcraft,Diablo and Starcraft fan so I’m hoping to have a HOTS revival or something. Hopefully!
To be honest HOTS has now nothing to lose so it literally wont hurt to do something crazy ideas like these!
Nope thanks. Go play Dota, LOL. This game was made to be different from them and if you don’t like it then it’s simply not for you. Have fun carrying 1v5 in LOL. That must be very exciting and a perfect ego booster. If that’s your “friend’s” definition of fun
The game is team oriented so you are forced to play as a team 90% of the time to win the match. That is what makes this game unique. No solo exp, no items to boost your hero. Just you and your team fighting together to win.
There are hard carry heroes like Valla or Butcher or just any hero who do well that can have a higher inpact then others. Hots was made to not be a LOL copy cat game with its own gameplay. If you are going to make Hots yet another LOL copy then why bother playing this when LOL and Dota already gives you what you need ?
Blizzard universe
Blizzard Characters
Hero design of HOTS
Rotating maps
Complex talent system.
Capping camp that push together with you This is unique out of mobas
and many more reason…
people just do not see it, people say that if we add items on hots it will be automatically LoL/DOta. But tbh it really is not.
EVEN DOTA AND LOL IS A NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE… please think about it LOL
Even if I liked your idea, can you see the contradiction in your above sentence? Yes Hots is dead, Blizz said they are only going to maintain client stability and “maybe” balance patches. So it’s doubtful they will allocate resources to such an expansive idea that you have suggested.
If HotS was just a clone of LoL or DOTA, nobody would play it. They would just keep playing LoL or DOTA because they’re already invested in those games. I mean, League can be a very expensive game if you want skins and stuff.
The audience is here because they don’t want to play LoL or DOTA, because that style of game does not appeal to them. Nobody plays a game just because they like the universe. They might try it, but the people who stick around are the people who enjoy the unique features.
You can parade “dead game” all you want, but there are still people who do play it. Heroes of Newerth is a dead game. HotS as a LoL clone would actually be a dead game.
I mean you’re right. people still play here because they like the gameplay and I do not disagree with that hence i said “New Game Mode”
And also some people here still love HOTS because they love Blizzard characters. you cant argue me with this because I know alot of people who play hots because they just love the universe and been a blizz fanboy since diablo 1 or something.
If you look at the metrics:
Let’s say it was when HOTS was alittle bigger back then, there are 3 types of people who plays
Populary of HOTS is 100%
3 Types of People who plays HOTS back then:
1st Category: 60% of people playing = New Players/wanted to try New game and Blizzard Fans wanted to try Blizzard’s take on MOBA or try Blizzards New game.
2nd Category: 20% of people = aspiring pro players, wanted to go to HGC.
3rd Category: 20% of people = who likes team gameplay.
It is not linear computation.
Like me back then I’am 3 of these categories.
Why I say only 20%~ people likes the team gameplay of HOTS?
Because if we swap the first category and third category then why did the game died? if the gameplay is the majory of the players liked back then?
It died because only the minority liked the gameplay. like the categories, Majority of the people who were a Blizzard fan then tried the game because of course it is “Blizzard” then once they get old/repetitive they quit the game.
I’m not parading “dead game” I’m posting here because I really loved HOTS and it’s characters, If i really do not care about HOTS i’m not posting here and wasting my time here.
Then I will repeat what i Posted I’m suggesting a NEW game mode not revamp the Old ones.
“this game is dead, hence i demand to add more things” this thread is a joke, if u truly believe this is a dead game dont bother thinking things on it… just let it go… or are u a necromancer??
To add to this, Back in alpha, devs toyed around with items for a bit. And by a bit, not even 3 weeks. To quote Blizzard, “Do you really want to see Arthas swinging a sword other than Frostmourne?”.
I may only play vs AI (I freely admit I suck at pvp. Doesn’t matter what game), and have been since alpha, but I will always agree with this.
Talents are items.
You earn gold, carefully nicknamed xp. You earn more if you are present.
Items are priced so that you incidentally get them at certain level thresholds. Coincidence.
Now, the one big question, should heroes have way more talent options, like mages going defensive, and so on. Maybe, but the question is, would it cause balance issues?
Then again, if I could tank with Jaina, …
… that could be like Mei.
One thing about current items, though, they’re really tailored for your own hero.
So we can’t just take items from other heroes. I mean, sometimes. Jaina could use mana regen below 35% albeit her non-existent Magic Missiles would never grant spell armor. Maybe it could be Q in general. But neutral items like Blink, or permanent armor, they could be well accepted.
(Challenge: dissect my post, what is sarcasm, irony, and honest.)
Probably, but, that isn’t really all that much more difficult to tweak, as they did with generics, like when battle momentum was different for each hero, or having different quest rewards for globe talents. The thing is, picking unusual talents would probably be suboptimal in most situations, but I think having those options available when they are useful is great, and actually makes QM a lot more adaptive to weird comps. And seeing more unconventional comps even in ranked, is a good thing in my opinion.
I think 4 options per tier like they used to (but them actually balancing it rather than leaving them untouched) wouldn’t overwhelm the system.
HotS is not dead, its support is. So no new gamemode.
There are no devs to make it. And even if there were, the population cannot handle a new gamemode.
Even if it could, it would be a balancing nightmare, because they can’t tweak the Heroes around them, but it’s hard to create fair items with 90 Heroes in mind.
I personally dislike the Item system. I prefer the few we can farm depending on the map, which can also be stolen.
As others said, Talents are the “items” here, Xp is the “gold”.
And no, the gane didn’t die because of its gameplay. It is dying and in coma because Blizzard lost its respect and integrity.
