Please forgive me for another “Is HoTS going mobile” thread. I have been away from HoTS for like a year and am getting back into playing MOBAs including HoTS. The reason why I ask this is that MOBAs on mobile devices are getting harder to ignore playing. I have Vainglory and Paladins Strike on my Android phone plus other offline MOBAs as well. You have Marvel Super War and LOL Wild Rift coming as well and don’t forget about Arena of Valor (I have pretty much stopped playing that game). Paladins Strike is a fun game and easy to get into if you have played the FPS Paladins game plus Vainglory’s multi-device support is great as well. But I would really love to have HoTS Mobile even if the interface is similar to the joystick-esque set up and even if Blizzard has to build a new HoTS game from scratch like Riot Games is doing with Wild Rift even if HoTS Mobile has fewer maps.
Wild Rift is also going to the consoles as well…hopefully Blizzard does the same thing for HoTS Mobile. It would just be a shame if HoTS is limited just to the PC while other MOBAs are making the jump to mobile and consoles especially when HoTS is my favorite MOBA type of game.
It’s almost 2020 and I’m curious to see where things are with a possible HoTS Mobile (or would that be an Overwatch MOBA like Paladins Strike?). Also consoles would be great.
Blizzard shot this game in the back a year ago and pretty much put the game on a low budget and almost life support level, very unlikely OP.

League did it Right with their mobile game, I dont think it’ll work that well with HOTS. Plus the Internet hates anything related to mobile, so Blizzard would consitantly had to deal with negative backclash no matter what. Even after the DIV announcement, DI’s new updates were downvoted to at leat 50%
How did Blizzard shoot the game in the back a year ago?
They didn’t. They shot it square in the face.

I’m guessing that maybe instead of a HoTS Mobile game, it would be an Overwatch MOBA game like Paladins Strike. Blizzard really needs to get a mobile MOBA game going asap since that field is getting crowded.
Perhaps Blizzard is waiting to see how Wild Rift does before going ahead with that. Blizzard really needs to move to mobile because as a long time console gamer with the upcoming next generation consoles, I have never seen the overall gaming market this competitive and people that I know that used to play on the likes of Playstation 2 and Playstation 3 have stopped playing their Playstation 4 because mobile games are just a lot of fun and I don’t think I’m that far behind. I’m going to play DI the day it comes out to show support of the move to mobile.
I can only imagine the outrage once StarCraft Mobile is announced. Ditto for WoW.
Devs, you have 100% my future support for moving to mobile even if it means a brand new HoTS game or Overwatch MOBA game.
