I was thinking while at work the other day, that I'm looking forward to Blizzard All Stars. And since at first it looked like it was going to be apart of Starcraft 2, it could be really interesting if they incorporated something like it, within world of Warcraft like pet battles. But here is how they can make it different from others.
So first of all this is how I thought Heroes/Champions could work within the game / Rules / Specifications
- You need to be level 10 in order to Que, and when you Que up you choose from your character list of classes you currently have above level 10. (Mandatory tutorial on how MOBA's work for new players)
- Once you are at the screen of characters you have above level 10. you can then pick one ROLE and 4 MOVES, 3 normal moves and one ultimate. ( Diablo 3 style, click and drag from a list )
For example... Shaman.
Enhance = Agility Semi-carry / boarder line hard Carry.
Resto = Support
Elemental = Support Intellect Ganker / Semi Carry
So let's say I picked restoration
Moves

Reincarnation - When you die you can resurrect with 50% hp and mana where you currently died. Or with 100% hp and mana at your shrine. (2 minutes CD)
NOTE: I do not plan to ever create or balance a game , this was done off ideas within my head it would not be these exact numbers. ( I didn't add mana cost cause games like LoL or the Marvel MOBA are more forgiving with mana opposed to DOTA or HoN) Just imagine a typical mana cost of MOBA's you play
Some other features:
- Ladder ranking with a rating system.
- All US servers Que together, and all EU servers Que together.
- Your player looks similar to the gear you Qued with. so all players are unique looking to an extent.
- Store items can be named around WoW items, Ashbringer, Gorehowl, etc etc...
- Items can be added to in game store, such as taunts, announcers, etc..
So it was just a rough idea, I would play it, I know a few of my friends would. What do you think? Anything you would add? Also sorry for any mistakes this is being written on my lunch at work..
