Did give that stream a look, maybe I'm just a creature of habit but I wasn't bowled over by Blizzard's take on a MOBA. Say one bad thing in the chat though (about Gazlowe's slow charging ability) and the fan boys jump on you... "OMFG ITS IN ALHPA!!!111".
I think there's room for people to try a new MOBA, but I don't think it'll overtake Riot anytime soon. As far as Blizzard goes, they let me down with Hearthstone and Kung Fu Panda WoW...I think their player base for this is going to come from people who liked Kung Fu Panda WoW and those who enjoy burning big money on their credit cards. Gotta give that to Blizzard, they know how to get mom and dad to help kids enjoy themselves.
