So I just heard about this, watched the trailer and I must admit it look REALLY cool. The character design and the overall aesthetic work great together and the playstyle diversity seeems impressive.

I was never much into team-based shooters, much less into other team games like MOBAs, but this appeals to me for some reason. I think it's because the character variety is so big that it doesn't even look like a shooter anymore.

It looked neat. A bit more polished and arcade-y than Smite, to be sure.

But it's going to be another freemium title, and Blizzard-Activision's been doing this thing of designing mass-appeal games and using hardcore payment models and levelling(creating that player-investment) schemes. They get away with it in Hearthstone because people forgive the CCG roots.

I don't know if it's the Activision in Blizzard nowadays, or if there's some demented VP at Blizzard suggesting they use MMORPG payment models every time because he can't get his head out of WoW.

The last installment in StarCraft 2 will probably be the last Blizzard game I get for a long time.

It looks cool.  I'm really hoping it doesn't turn into another grindy pay-to-win leveling nonsense fest.  And no hats, please.

So it's certain it's not gonna be a buy-once game? That takes away pretty much all my interest...

It's not certain, but it looks like it might be.
