If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
Yes, you don't have to buy SC2, you only need the Starter Edition.
Also, don't count on Blizzard to NOT get involved in the major leagues. As we all know - what Blizz wants Blizz gets. I bet highly on this. Blizz always gets the just the right set of rules and simplicity for something like this to work. Just like how WoW addons work, even though there shouldn't have been much to be done with them.
well i kinda doubt it will be playing with the big boys aka LOL and DotA2.
Given the resources and the fact blizzard essentially gave birth to both of those games, I have to seriously question that position. Riot is clearly unable to show the least bit of tact in balancing LoL and of the competitors (Valve and Blizzard) i'd say the latter has a much better shot at producing a truly competition-grade MOBA title.
I want to know what they plan to do to make it stand out from the other MOBAs. The ones out there now all have their own little quirks that make them different.
Also Blizzard didn't give birth to LoL or Dota 2.Icefrog made Dota and then took the Idea and went to Valve to make Dota 2. And I don't know the details behind LoL but I've never seen even a hint of Blizzard being involved.
Icefrog didn't make DotA but let's not get into this right now. I'll just mention Aeons of Strife.
If you wanted to know what Blizz plans to make BDotA stand out then just watch the video from the SC2 Mods and DotA panel at this year's Blizzcon. Towers will have much less health and they will run out of ammunition which slowly regenerates when the tower is inactive. Heroes have mounts. You can hire neutral creatures to join your waves. And much more. Just check out the video.
Blizzard had nothing to do with DotA. They have full rights to that title only because Blizzard owns all maps for their game.
Yes, but their maps, their engine, their game is what caused DOTA to exist in the first place. The genre wasn't their brain-child, but neither was RTS, ARPG, or MMORPG. I think you can see where i'm going with this. They laid the foundation to the game, so they're intimately familiar with the requisite platform. All they have to do is what they're good at: picking up a good, but unpolished genre from the pleb companies and turning it into a solid gold title worth the blizzard logo.

basicaly u give away many rights just by using wc3 world editor to make ur map-such as dota, and blizz can own all of it...
moba is growing very quickly right now and i cant wait to get my hands dirty with BlizzDota... * of-course i am more impatient for d3

Not to mention getting to see all of the cool lore characters from all the Blizzard universes.
Playing as Arthas and Illidan awesome. Potentially playing as Diablo, Leoric, Tyrael? Hell yes.
