Blizzard All-Stars Becomes Heroes of the Storm
It appears the Heroes of the Storm trademark is going to be used with The Game Formerly Known as "Blizzard All-Stars"! You can find some old screenshots from the last preview on the HoTS Wiki.

    I'm not saying Dota 2's playerbase is bad now, for the most part the people are really friendly and nice (which is the primary reason I prefer it over HoN at the moment). Just saying it will probably not stay like that for long, HoN was the same on its release and got worse by the years, especially notable once it went free to play.

    Well that was obvious. Excited to see what improvements over Dota and Lol this game can bring

    That leaves

    Dark Below
    Time Travel expansion
    Emerald Dream
    Legion expansion

    Well it really makes not much of a difference in the end...

    Dota 2 not toxic? You must be playing a different game. They all have a toxic community. It just comes with the genre. It will be funny to see players who have never played Lol or Dota 2. You think LFR is bad? Hahaha the games are far worse. But play with a group of friends and its completely different.

    meh i feel like theyre a little to late to the moba scene. with dota 2 picking up steam and LoL showing no signs of slowing down i cant really see any significant number of people jumping ship from better established mobas to play this one.

    granted there will be an intial surge im sure, people checking it out being curious and all, but unless the gameplay is truly innovative and groundbreaking i dont see it becoming quite as popular as LoL and Dota2 are.

    mobas work well as an esport and if they are smart theyll put a lot of time developing the interface to support spectator mode and stuff but unless theyre willing to dish out massive rewards from tournaments then i dont see a lot of the pros switching either. the pay outs for the winners of the season splits and world championships are quite impressive in LoL.

    just my opinion however

    yea moba's and fps games are generally quite terrible as far as the community goes and not to sound like a debbie downer but i dont expect this games community to be any better. youre going to get some people who are familiar with mobas trashing and bashing a bunch of the people who are fans of blizzard games but have never played a moba before.

    Dota 2 have problematic people, but not as much, i agree that LoL have that problem, but Dota 2 doesn't

    Dark Below WAS A HOAX. It is NOT the next expansion. The trademark was created by someone trying to prove what gullible fools the WoW community has in it.

    It was a freaking commercial, showing you that they changed the name, nothing more, nothing less... Don't be a buffoon.

    In my experience, any game that revolves around people "killing" other people is over the top toxic. "Competition" brings out the worst in people, not to mention when said "competition" is (relatively) anonymous.

    If it was fake I doubt MMO-Champion would be on board with it. I can understand calling Dark Below a hoax but this? Man you are something.

    It was an animation done by Carbot Animation, not Blizzard. Blizzard has worked with Carbot before, and as used his work in other places. He has a animated series called Starcrafts. Please do an ounce of research before you make wild claims.

    This is a direct link to a blizzard page with the video embedded.

    If they've worked with Carbot before, is it not possible they are doing that now to the effect of what Duster505 is saying? That way Blizzard could just deny any involvement.

    An your gullible to believe that any one can create a trademark under Blizzard's name & get away with it. If anything Blizzard pulled it changed the name or registered it in Swaziland.

    would be pretty stupid to pay someone to make a fake trailer.

    im surprised, i liked all stars better, it got across the meaning of the game more in my opinion, i guess a you could say a blizzard is a storm.

    you have no way of knowing that. just because there wasnt a headline that said "dude in jail for trolling trademarks" doesnt mean stuff didnt happen, thousands of kids get kdnapped and murdered everyday do you think the only ones that happen are the ones sold to cnn?
