Adding items to the game

General Discussion
1

Yes Yes. The topic is already hackneyed, but still I will try to write something new. I still do not understand why items for characters (not cosmetics, but artifacts in the game itself to enhance the hero) will not be added to the game. In my opinion, this greatly diversifies the gameplay, especially in late game. I will try to answer popular questions in advance.

  1. How do heroes get items?
    I say right away that you don’t need to give money for killing creeps! Hotts is different in this that you need to help the team kill enemies and complete events. Therefore, I propose either to receive gold with each new level of the team, or only for enemy heroes. Rather, the first (you can suggest your own version).
  2. What will the inventory look like?
    Ideally, the inventory should be similar to the RPG character menu. 1 slot for helmet, one for boots and so on. It is pointless to make a lot of slots for items, but its neccesary to make two slots for weapons so you can wear 2 one-handed weapons or one two-handed, one-handed and a shield, and so on.
  3. What items will be in the game?
    Its simple, the items will be artifacts and armor from Blizzard games. From legendaries or armor of famous Warcraft heroes to anything from Starcraft. Example: Buy Valeera one Blade of Azzinoth and Heaven’s Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies. Or something simpler, buy Varian the Stormwind Guard Armor. I do not know yet whether to make any restrictions on the purchase of items for heroes from other universes, i think there will not be enough items from Starcraft.
  4. Will the items affect the appearance of the hero?
    No, it’s too difficult to implement for different characters, it will look ridiculous.
    That’s all for now, write down your opinion on this matter, I will try to answer everyone.
    P.S. There is no need to write about the copyright of Dota and so on, as I already said, in my opinion there is nothing wrong with adding the items if they are balanced.
    P.P.S. I know that the development of the game is limited by Blizzard itself, it’s sad, but maybe if many people support an idea, they will try to make something like that (Kappa).
    P.P.P.S. Sorry for my bad english, not native-speaker here :okayChamp:

No. That was one of the things i liked about. Plus then there is the issue with balance. The game is ½ dead. I can’t right now remember what it’s called. But something with mode. but it pretty much means the developers aren’t working on it. Just doing balance and bug fixes. They do seem to add a little here and there, but not much. This would require a lot of work.
Plus when one team gets ahead, it can be hard to do a comeback. This will just make it worse.
If you want items. Go play another moba

They arent gonna add anything. Game is going to hell, Blizzard is going to hell. They only have money for their CEO and investors. Nobody cares about quality or customers anymore.

There was once this game called Battlerite that I played a lot. It once got a added items, after that, most players (including me) left.

This will just be the same as with the weather anomaly- a lot of people quit HOTS, I myself switched to dota.

You shouldn’t try to change the core gameplay mechanics of a game when there wasn’t a problem in the first place
