Amazing game
here a little gameplay video of my most loved Hero so far
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u702WLPEoXE&list=UUENum49r02kdYjDq2gadoqwIts a parasite Zerg, which lives on other heroes and can push them with shields, dmg around, global mines and so on
I play all 3 - Dota (dota-league - so dota 1) Division 2, LoL Diamond V and now HoTS (unranked atm as there is no ranked implemented so far)
At first when i saw the videos about the game is was not really amused and thought that this game will never bind me ... but blizzard told me otherwise ... It is a whole new experience, as the gameplay is totally different to the other 2 ... there is no lasthitting, no denying, no gold, no items. It works with different skill builds - you have 3 skills from start on which you can use - at certain levels 4,7,10,14,17,20 you get ability upgrades, which improve one of your basic skills with different abilities ... each of this level ups you can choose between 2-5 different skill / hero upgrades and can so build the hero totally based on the running game and change and improve it in the way you need it for every special game. So at first it will be kinda hard to find out what you need, but you get very fast used to it.
Every map has its own objective - Capture altars and spawn a Dragonlord that fights for you, go into the mines and collect skulls to spawn a big Golem, collect gold and pay a merchant flagship that bombards the enemies towers ... this objectives need a lot of teamwork, so i guess the game will be very hard to master as it really needs teamwork and there is no - like in dota - fed hero, that carries the game ... its all or noone ... as you have a group level, so if you group plays together it ranks up in level faster ... if 2 or 3 jsut die all the time and doesnt help at objectives the enemies team gets ahead in level and is harder and harder to beat as a whole.
All in all ... i stopped playing dota and league for this game, because its really fresh .. perfect client, like used from blizzard games ... the alpha servers are more stable than every dota / league server i ever saw ... and well never had a problem with blizzard servers anyway except for a few DDOS attacks. The style of this game is just amazing and i think Riot has to do something or it wont be the most played game anymore soon
