[QUOTE="saumilsingh, post: 2026985, member: 287"] Neither company stole anything because neither invented the genre. Neither company blindsided the other because both Dota2 and Heroes were in development for a long time. The only thing in contention was the DOTA name, which Blizzard graciously bowed out of because they decided to go with the title of Blizzard All-Stars (now Heroes of the Storm). These events took place way before even Dota2 was released. Blizzard had no need of Icefrog since their game which they refer to as a 'Hero Brawler' is completely different from Dota or other traditional mobas. I'd say the game dynamics of Heroes are closer to Diablo pvp or even a topdown version of TF2 than Dota2. Actually yea, Diablo pvp meets TF2 perfectly describes Heroes. It's a slower, more objective oriented game with much slower hero battles (no getting one-shot after a 6 second stun). As for Overwatch, it's a last minute salvage attempt of the canceled Titan project. [/QUOTE]
