It is a beta...you cant promise a million things and then only give the bare minimum. Yeah its a full competitive game but so is dota 1 the mod. This was not meant to be just a simple copy. They were gonna add so many new features for the community etc. They havnt done any of it.

Do you know how much Starcraft 2 promised with Bnet 2.0? They still haven't implemented most of the features "for the community" and we're two years post release. At launch it had no chat channels, clans, name changes, realm changes, automated tournaments, LAN, replays with friends, resume from replay, customisable hotkeys. And still only TWO of those things have yet to be released. Oh and by the way Starcraft 1 had all of those features.

SO YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT BLIZZARD DID.


Most of the features Valve have stated that are keeping it from being released can all be seen in the patch notes being worked on. Also Valve>Blizzard. Just to briefly list them: tutorial system, rest of the heroes, and a game mode for new players which limits their hero pool initially to easy heroes. I would say its still a beta, though if you want to play it now its very easy to get in. I'm sure new players/reviewers etc would looove the game if it was released without tutorials for a game like this... :/. I expect other features to be released after launch such as map making.

 

Anyway on another note add me if you want an invite for nothing. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198051566343/
