With the release and subsequent rise of League of. Blizzard has proven regularly that they wish to be supplementary as much as revolutionary to the gaming industry as a whole, and this mentality towards MOBAs and the eSports scene is illustrated by the comments made by game director Dustin Browder in an interview at BlizzCon 2013, that Blizzard was not attempting to make and compete with the traditional MOBA community as we’ve seen in League of Legends and DOTA 2, and that the experience would be just different enough to be appealing to wider, if somewhat different, demographics. The MOBA, for short, is potentially the hottest game genre to come out of the 21st century, so far. Legendary heroes and villains from Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo are summoned to the Nexus.
