Bli$$ard won't get a dime from me...have you seen the cost of some of those "heroes"?

Worse than Hearthstone for paying to get ahead from what I've seen so far.

lol swish dont listen to all the kids. the prices in alpha are fine, $2.49 (YES there is a hero for $2.49) up to $10. hell league has champions that cost $15 and skins that go up to $35 AND GOD FOR BIDE we not mention the 5 free to play characters that rotate every week (can even unlock more f2p character slots with level ups)....... teso and heroes of the storm gets bashed by kids every day over pricing, which imo isent even outrageous........... because we know, developers dont need money or anything, right?

FYI: i watched angryjoe play HoTS for 8 hours straight last night from start to finish. Like it or not, the game is super polished and will gain a piece of the moba market competing with LoL/Dota 2. This game is about teamwork and objectives more then item building.

That seems to be all that's left to listen to on the internets though.

I can't lie, I've bought characters and skins on LoL before but usually save my IPs for characters, and get a few skins with riot points ($$) on champions I use a lot - which isn't many.

Not saying that you won't be able to save the IP equivalent on League of Blizzards, but I bet they'll look to charge more per champion and more worryingly, make the OP champs more expensive (yeah granted the new LoL champs are always 6300/7800 IPs but us smart folks wait for the hype to die, and try them in the free champs the following week).

Right now I can play as Annie, Ashe, Ryze or Kayle and know I'm not in a terrible spot or nerfed beyond usage (support Kayle is very underused and OP...chops towers down quick late game and has an ulti that can swing group fights as people unload their skills into a shield).

Blizzard need to be careful that they don't do an EA, and give you next to nothing for buying/playing the game...and putting stuff that should be free/gettable under a "premium"/pay2win system.

Can you imagine how many people would spend $50+ on the Lich King if he gets put in? I feel sick already [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess I was let down by Hearthstone, expected a lot from it and it got boring quick and noticeable when you played an opponent who'd melted his credit card to win.

Ummmm Lich King is in already bro, just named Arthas. Most streamers have already spent $50-$200+ on the game and its only in alpha! Hell i saw a streamer drop $37.50 just to buy diablo and a unicorn mount for lolz. Saw another streamer drop $200 and bought every hero in the game. Its going to be the first moba in a long time that will be able to compete with LoL/Dota 2.

Blizzard is just pissed that IceFrog asked Valve to make DOTA 2 instead of them.

here comes the dota 2 fanboys, scared of losing more of there playerbase.

Yeah I get that they're the same person, but Arthas moves would be different to the Lich King's moves. What I think I'm getting at is you'll have standard champions and "heroic"/p2w champs if they're not careful with it.

DOTA 2 is just awful [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
