Or OMG what if we made DOTA but Hearthstone.

Damn we would be some serious innovators in the video game space. Nobody could ever think to do that.

    it makes me sad. the people yearn for a new arena shooter but esports ready slop is what we’re getting. it doesn’t look fun at all and in terms of stuff like movement mechanics it’s a clear devolution from team fortress and dumbing down of those things ala overwatch.

      I HATE ESPORTS

      I HATE ESPORTS

      spoiler

      I’d hate the concept less if it wasn’t forced into so many franchises and genres in ways that take away from those genres in attempts to cash in. There was a cool Heavy Gear mecha game concept that seemed promising until it tripped over itself trying to be esports trash some years back, for example, and Planetside 2 wasted years of development time trying to pander to esports shit that went nowhere and wasted an entire map of developer time that no one else could use or even see.
