Good. More is better and options are what people clamor for in other less relevant circles, so bring us new games worth playing, even if they are nerfed to mere battle arenas.

This could be vary cool if done right.I'm a little disappointed  that it wont release in the west, but I've wondered why Disney didn't try to bring Marvel to the MOBA scene. It's the fastest growing genre and the Marvel universe would work pretty well.

I've never been a fan of LOL or DOTA, frankly coz I'm too lazy to learn each character's "intricacies". But with the Marvel Universe (or DCU, for that matter), hmm, I could be down with this.
