I am a bit shocked I didn't already see a post on this one:

Or is no one going to touch what this looks like?
I thought it was pretty damn smart and looks like at least a great game to play, anyone know if there is going to be a "store for customs"?

There is already a thread about it, http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127008

Just a tip in the future, but if you're searching for something specific. Click on the search with the green text, and on advanced search and below keywords change it so it only searches thread titles. Because that white search bar is set to search for any thread containing those keywords you type in.

You can also instead of doing that, type heroes+storm and I believe it then searches for threads containing both those words. of and the is ignored by the search anyway.

That first trailer displayed a serious lack of Orc.

HotS looks nice but it very much lacks depth for a MOBA... no item builds no other stuff you can tweak and learn. Disappointing.

Its going to be a MOBA for casual players mostly if they dont make some heavy changes.

I think a casual MOBA is exactly what they wanted, Dota2 and LoL(League to a lesser extent) have a pretty steep learning curve and can put players off from playing them. Casual MOBA seems to be the new style studios are going after since HotS, Dawngate and SMITE(??) all seem to be much simpler than the two juggernauts on the scene

Pretty much everything that they have points to this and it is by design. They're not trying to make a hardcore MOBA as they have said they are turned off by the heavy learning curve and long term investment. The point of Heroes is to have quick and fun 15-25 minutes games without the heavy learning curve. I really like the design of Dota and League but I also rarely have 45 minutes of uninterrupted time to play a match.

The design reminds me of Hearthstone where they basically tag it as easy to get into but has depth if you invest the time to properly learn it.
