Well I'm fine with it because I enjoy the games. Dangerous road to go down unless the game you're working on is completely original (which there's pretty much no way it can be) IMO.
idk it seemed u infered blizzard just copied concepts (which btw I dont see whats wrong with copying) but its funny the genre was born from a mod for a game they did create.
anyway Im curious about this but dont think Ill play,there are already enough moba out there,maybe this one is special but atm not convinced.
I really dont know how blizz missed the moba genre and didnt buy out dota itself.
