Will there be something like an inspect page? Like say if i want to see how much wins my friends would have, would this be put into the game?

I think they have plans for Twitch.tv broadcast (not sure where it fits into the roadmap though). Spectator Mode is a pretty large system, I don't see it happening in AL.Quote:

Probably not shipping with skins, but a possibility in the future.Quote:

I have few questions to ask:
1) In the announcement, it was mentioned that economic aspects are removed. Does this mean that there will be no farming and things like lasthits/denies? If it is so, will there be any creeps?
2) Will there be any kinds of summons or any other things that involve micro? At the website some controllable Orbs of Death were mentioned, but I'm not exactly sure what they are and should we micro them.
3) Which hero pool system will be used: LoL-like, when there are only few free heroes available and pool changes every week, or DotA-like, when all heroes are available to pick at any time?
4) What happens if a 5-minute limit is exceeded? Will there be any kind of point system to indicate the winner in this case?
5) Will there be any punishments for people who abandon matches like low-priority matchmaking?
why only 3v3 match if there are 5 classes?
Pokemon is really just rolling dice to see how the battle resolves. You'll be interacting in real-time with Champs, so it is all about player skill. You will be able to respec your Champion to have different statistical pros and cons, but your skills will remain the essentially same, although you could customize to have a bigger AOE, faster cool down, etc.Quote:

1) No farming or creeps. XP is the main currency in the game.Quote:

You "push" the orbs towards the enemy towers to mitigate their damage. If you are within a certain radius, the ball moves with you. Two or more on the same team makes it go faster. Enemy players within the same radius negate your push.
3) No rotation fo Champs, but you do need to unlock them as you level up.
4) 5 minutes ends the match. Winner in this case is determined by Tower kills first, and Champ kills second.
5) Probably not going to punish people that drop, but we do have a full bot system that will take over for you in case you have to tag out (and you replace them when you tag back in, like if you get a phone call). So no more rage quitting!
Because 3 is the number that worked best... it is INTENSE!Quote:

So there is skill there, so mix and matching skills would be better (not enhancing a bigger AOE, faster cool down, etc...its whats happening to all other sts games..leveling and keeping the same skills can get annoying fast). I don't want to buy a new pet, if I can adjust the one I already want...with other skills that other pets have. eg: in pokemon some water pets can have water skills/strength skills. (I want to make 1-3 better instead of having 200 mediocrely trained ones.)Quote:

thats what made pokemon great..the mix and matching of skills (like one pet become enchanted to become a newer pet ). and able to earn new ones..by buying them.
heres what I mean :)

We're not making Pokemon. You should play it before making any judgement :)Quote:

Will there be any way we can communicate with our team we play? Like a voice chat? A lot of games have that option like Heroes of order and chaos (and generally almost every online gameloft game).
Currently the economy is all about XP and levelling your Champs. Nothing tradable, no customizations (at launch). This is all about player skill and competition.Quote:

Will there be events too? Considering the fact that there is no gear, customization, PvE, etc. is there anything that will expand the game or is this just a release-everything-at-once kind of game? WYSIWYG?
We'll have a stream of new Champs we will be introducing. Skins are a likely prospect after launch as well.Quote:

This is somewhat disappointing. No chat in the matches takes away from the social aspect and slightly inhibits the learning and training of players while in a match. I wouldQuote:

Since the matches will only be 5 mins maybe the chat won't matter as much.
I guess we will have to see. :)
You are right, it is a balance. No chat in the matches does significantly decrease the abuse and trash talk. And we will see!Quote:

Yes, each team has a base that when destroyed result in an immediate end to the match.Quote:

Just curious, I know it is an online game
what happens when the 5 minutes is up and no one has won?
There is a scoring system based on Towers destroyed, and if those are tied it falls to who had the most kills, if the number of towers destroyed and the kills are the same I believe it determines winner based on overall damage dealt per team.Quote:

I've used this personally internally testing to play around with specific characters and get a feel for combos and appropriate play strategies as best one can against AI opponents. Certainly helps build a bit of confidence with your chosen champions before hitting the field of battle!Quote:

Interesting... I will probably try this game
Not off topic, we tried a go at Spacetime Games when we were considering publishing external titles. It turns out that is a tough business too!Quote:

SXSW is still pre-alpha. We'll send out invites some time after the show.
What do we have to do to be on the receiving end of those invites? Old time players? Or players who spend their lives in game? Cuz I'm both
Sounds intresting, me being a big fan of MOBA games in general, I will give this one a shot.
I was reading all of this, and noticed HOW sts learned from past, I mean from the older games and what people criticized over time, so ofc I think this gonna be an well polished game.
BTW, who'll be able to play alpha version?
