Some notes of why I like this game already.
1. It lets you pick your Hero before matching with Teammates (which LoL is finally 'trying' to do)
2. You can unlock skins by working with different Heroes instead of using Real World money to get them AND there are different colors to the skins which is cool.
3. You can test a Hero before you even buy it so you can see if you like its abilities, learn its combos, etc. if you just want to test it ahead of time (hopefully even if it is not in rotation)

Blizzard's menu/UI design is so damn good lately. Such polish!

[MrRockhorn]

Can I just say, the ability to earn skins with quests is really good.
Like, good.

The year is 2020. This game has come a long way since 6 years ago. It'll always be one of my favorites <3

Here we are after almost 7 years since alfa. Game has its problems, but it's still my favorite MOBA. And I am sure it will become even better in the future. I am talking to you, reconnection!

AWESOME INTERFACE. The Try option before purchasing the hero... AWEOSUM

[DrachenYT]

The more and more stuff that comes out about this game, the more I want it!

[mirakil]

This looks so glorious, and it's only in alpha!

[Abelhawk]

I'm stoked for this! Even if they do have the same payment system as LoL, I think this game will be a lot of fun with its new twists on the game genre.

I love how this video shows that Kevin's account is called Cloaken, which is why when he got to be an Announcer in HoTS his Announcer name is Cloaken.

Somehow I'm getting nostalgic for waiting for an alpha key. how is that even possible

[kendricswissh]

That's it. This game is gonna devour my soul. 

[Rocksteady]

Mounts gonna look a bit awkward with the siegetank :P

End of 2017 and I'm like "what a huge change over the years"

[DajuOnYoutube]

That you see a 3d model of a skin and hero in the menus are pretty damn revolutionary. No more browsing youtube to see how something really looks in game. Also the try out button is pretty cool too. Give me my key already :P

[jacobhiatt]

looks really good love how you can view the modal of the hero and try him before buying

[adamsimmons]

This looks SO AMAZINGLY AWESOME! Can't wait to get access to the Alpha and start producing loads of content <3

[vaxivop]

"early alpha"
Already looks better than most MOBA's

[darmandez]

Maybe it's a little thing, but i LOVE that 'try Hero' feature

[Deriktwodope]

I was dying when I saw Diablo on a horse mount xD
