HOTS needs Rework!

Oh great. It’s one of you.

Why not just play one of the standard MOBAs instead of demanding there be yet another one? As if like twenty of those haven’t failed in the midst of League and DOTA’s successes???

Come on, why do you guys make these posts and claims as if there’s some water to them? Probably why HotS is failing is because Blizz no longer has the power over their own products they once had and Activision just wants to keep plugging WoW because it’s all that brings in money anymore.

This.

Some people want to play league but use blizzard heroes.

Sounds to me like they want to have their cake and eat it too. League is League, HotS is HotS. It’s not good because it has Kerrigan, it’s good because it’s not a balancing nightmare anytime anything new comes out and they have to review 200 items to make sure nothing is excessively broken.

It usually is. Not that ANY MOBA achieves really any sense of proper balance, but.

Some heroes need rework, like tracer for example, also they need to be more serious with punishments from reports.

I just lost game because our Sylvana name Tpatatyшka left game at start of the match, and then our Orpha didn’t help in team fights and objectives and when we start to die he/she start to talk on russian at us, and when Sylvana join back he/she also start talk on russian, i reported both of them but i am 100% blizzard not going to do a thing about them, and more and more match are like that.

This is were you are wrong, it’s not that Hots failed, because it didn’t copy the popular mobas, but blizzard took to long to get to the moba market and people don’t like to try new things, if they are good at one already.

There is one game that did exactly all the things you mentioned, but it has also failed to get a huge playerbase: Heroes of Newerth. It’s a fast pased, dota clone, but it couldnt reach the market like dota or lol. Dota 2 get the market, just because Icefrog (developer of DotA) joined valve and so alot of players started playing dota 2.

There are rules against Name N’ Shame. I recommend removing the name from your post.

You reported them for speaking a different language…? You might be the one in need of a report.

Your changes will make HotS much more LoL-like.
This will alienate HotS players who like the game as it is.
It will not bring in LoL players, because why would they leave a game they have been playing for years for a carbon copy?

No, i reported them for non cooperation and afk, i say it was rude of them to talk on Russian, when we speak english to communicate for objective, if i start to speak serbian in chat and rest of party speak english, that would also be rude and i am sure rest would be mad about it.

Waiting for the OP to come back here and post something like “wow, no wonder this game is dead. Community is so toxic and narrow-minded”

Do people who speak other languages think it’s rude for us to speak English? I didn’t think so.

Only because you also speak English and so do they. How do you know that they spoke English?

You have problem with me??? If you play game on English server, is expected to speak on English, that is in all MP games, i didn’t reported them for that, i reported them for AFK/No-Cooperation, don’t make me in someone who don’t respect other people or make fun of them becouse their language. i didn’t do that and i never do that.

This game has language servers? I thought the servers are divided by region?

Well, aside from some active items that are only viable to certain characters, you can relate individuality much better to skillsets than items, items are basically stats that will help you fight better against no so favorable matchups. This is were comes the originality, Hots could have both, instead of stats like Dota, u change the skill tree (like current hots).

No I’m not, are you? But the market is, and they have a HUGE list or similar games that people continuously play over the history of gaming. The most important aspect of a game, is to be FUN, originality is a flavor. Gameplay First, Got it? :wink:

I’m not saying that we should forget originality, I’m saying that trying to create something JUST for the sake of being original, is not enough. Do you understand?

They are not Blizzard. Blizz created a moba for non-moba players, to me that’s worse than being late to the party.

Because it’s faster, has blizz characters, and overall better-looking UI/graphics settings. :heart_eyes:

Well Heroes of Newerth is not Blizzard. They made the mistake to come late, but that never stopped the market. Even if you are good already, you will get bored, and try something else for some time. Hots didn’t work out, because moba players tried, and didn’t like it. AND THEY WERE THE MAIN TARGET AUDIENCE that blizzard should strive for, not the non-moba players. They took a risk, and it didn’t pay off. Time to correct that mistake (sry guys).

Why should they want MOBA players, whose reputation is as belligerent know-it-alls who insist that their way is the objective best despite no real evidence to support that besides “w-well the guys who did it first got popular!”??
Blizz was late and to compound that, Blizz of late is a mess of bad decisions, blame games and corporate mismanagement. Even if they’d arrived on time, goodness knows where they’d have ended up. Not to mention HotS just broke and breaks promise after promise.

Surely, their lack of apparent success is due to much more than not appealing to what has come to be reviled as the literal worst playerbase to draw from.
