    And why would they release it as a physical boxed expansion, complete with a trademark before the game is even in open beta? Most Blizzard trademarks are announced two or three months at most after their filing. Are you expecting them to announce a physical expansion to their closed beta, digital card game before Christmas?

    Because expansion names traditionally don't have a focus on a handful of characters. It wasn't "The Demons of Illidan" or "Armies of the Scourge" or "Elemental Lords Under His Wings" or "The Horde Rebels."

    THat sounds horrible

    That sounds like their card game thingy, not WoW.

    highly doubt thats WoW, they cant be that bad.
    Free-To-Play is the future.

    Well, to be honest, we don't really know for sure. League of Legends is only "distributed" online but in the early days you could buy the Collectors Edition in a store. Same could be for Hearthstone or All-Stars. What about the merchandise around it? Can the physically part be about the trademark be for payment cards for Hearthstone / All-Stars, do they need to trademark the name as physical copies when they want to sell in-game "currency"?

    It's silly, and doesn't fit with any of the other titles because it's randomly referencing heroes.
    Expansion names tend to give a since of vastness/largeness befitting an MMO, while this brings to mind a small group of heroes.

    The Burning Crusade
    Wrath of the Lich King
    Cataclysm
    Mists of Pandaria

    Heroes of the Storm

    See how the other ones refrence the large task at hand or a place?
    Where HotS is draws focus on the heroes themselves?

    It sounds a lot more like a title for something singleplayer, or small group based where the entire story focuses on that small group/single person.

    Yeah, and I didn't even like the concept. This is lame.

    Why would they change the title of either game for a physical release? Hearthstone already has a subtitle and Bilzzard All-Stars: Heroes of the Storm makes no sense given the context of the roster of heroes and is absolutely fucking huge and convoluted for a title in that genre.

    Not to mention, it's the type of name that indicates a story of some sort. MOBA's no story.

    TCG's like Magic the Gathering have a new set every 4 months or so. The names are also known over a year in advance a lot of the time. Not saying it is the 2nd set, but it certainly could be.

    And there's ESPECIALLY not going to be some concentrated story element when you have Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft characters under one roof.

    Blizzard All-Stars was quickly taken after the problems they had with Valve. You got to give the child a name, right? Now after a lot more thinking, they might have thought they should go with a name that has more fantasy around it. So simply Heroes of the Storm, not Blizzard All-Stars: Heroes of the Storm. Heroes sounds very much like the characters people play in MOBAs. The Storm, like I said, could be a reference to a place where characters of the Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo universe come together. Heroes of Warcraft would be a very good name for a MOBA in the Warcraft universe. But they already said that players will be able to play Thrall and Kerrigan for example.

    Unless we go the Robocop VS Terminator route.

    Why not? League of Legends has a lot of lore and different (,rivalling) factions.

    Different when it's within the same universe though.

    does any one realy care what the expansion is called? at the end of the day we play the game for the players we play with / the content it provides.
