@msanchez_tv Great arguments! However, I've still gotta go with Faker is the exception, and he has to be. Faker being the first inductee is big enough that it will elevate the entire Hall of Legends just by itself. Faker first, normal Hall of Fame afterwards.

I could not imagine a more effective way to kill the game than to release the statement that they did. The Blizzard that I know and love would never abandon a game or an esport, and yet this press release told us that doing this is what made them special.

The reality is that Heroes 2.0 failed to create an effective monitisation system, which is what led to this decision. I want everyone to be clear that the #HGC was discontinued because the game itself is no longer one that Blizzard are willing to support, and no other reason.

The 2018 Gameplay updates for @BlizzHeroes will be absolute chaos at first. There will be broken combos, you and your teammates will make unbelievable misplays, and the game might not be even close to balanced. In the long term I believe these changes will make the game better.

No matter what happens, Blizzcon will always be the most important tournament in the #HGC circuit. It has 4x the prizemoney, and over 20x the live audience of MSB. I know it's hard for the @HeroesEsports team, but they need to figure out something better for this year.

I really appreciated this message, because it showed the direction that the team and game were headed in. However, its painful that this tweet is over a year old, and we only have 2 of the 6 items (and no "more"?). Its hard to balance developer communication in a live game.
