This could be interesting I guess. But as someone who is heavily into MOBA's, and after playing League of Legends, Dota 2, Smite, Dawngate, Strife, and Heroes of the Storm, I can pretty well say that people who play MOBA's enjoy the more complex ones. The problem is that once the market gets too flooded and every game tries to be complex, no one wants to spend 50+ hours relearning basic item builds and mechanics. Every game but the already established ones like League and Dota 2 end up feeling shallow. I'll be interested to see where this game goes.

I've said this on other sites already. But if this game isn't released until 2016 announcing it is just dumb. I'm so sick of companies announcing games so far off in the future.

Even if this game comes in fall 2015, that's still over a year away. What's the point. This is dumb.

Art style is decent but ehhhh another moba doesn't do much for me. Wish companies would try harder, then again gearbox has made all its money by ripping off other games and selling lies so hard to expect innovation from them.

Their trailer makes it looks like a horde mode game.

This is a fantastic idea, and I'm very excited to see exactly how Gearbox will turn it into a horrible disappointment.

The M83 is a little jarring to me.

I'm getting particularly tired of everyone trying to cash in on the MOBA market.
