I'm confused, what is the game actually about?

EDIT: Wait, is this that Dota one there was a news post about last week?

Yeah it is. Nice trailer, told us nothing about what to expect though. And I can't figure out who the dwarf is... Can't remember if any of them uses a hammer... Gloin has one in the BFME series though.

Whoever posted this doesn't deserve a job in a gaming website.

This trailer was without doubt the worst thing I've seen in 30+ years of gaming (and I've seen plenty), not to mention a kick in the nuts of every LOTR fan.

In my deathbed I'll still remember this POS and hope that whoever did it is burning in hell.

My reaction half way through the trailer was "what the fuck is this shit?"

So stupid.

Pretty definitively NOT the game every LOTR fan has been waiting for.

EDIT: You know what, I'm not usually this blunt and rude, but whoever wrote that it was the game we were waiting for needs to have their head examined. Seriously, what self-respecting LOTR fan wanted a shitty DOTA clone where you play as inaccurate versions of the characters?

How does this game even work with the LOTR universe? What the fuck, guys.

Gollum vs. Gandalf is supposed to be at ALL balanced? Riiight. a mutated hobbit versus a Maiar. Gollum is gonna be a small wet splotch on the ground,,,

No... no it isn't. Quite that opposite actually.

I'm quite surprised that no big studio has yet to capture Tolkien's magic in video games like the modding community 3rd Age Total War has.

This new LOTR game represents the "Battleshipping" of an old franchise.

Well that right there was a big bag of meh.

Also the guy doing the VA for Gandalf is so bad it's hilarious.

I love LOTOR games (I've completed LotoR: The Third Age multiple times, and that was a very very bad game) and I wish this one every success, but I'm not going to be getting it. I found multiplayer arena battles pretty unfun, there's always too much stun-locking, high pressure on failure and wins creep up slowly rather than from being minute-on-minute action/strategy and whilst LOTOR is a very fun setting for this, it's not a very LOTOR setting. No scope, no epic battles, no travelling, exploring or tales. The idea of Gandalf and Sauron heading down for a bit of one-on-one combat will always be tongue in cheek

Sorry but I can't stop laughing that the evil team got Gollum on their side. What happen? Was the Uruk Hai, Orc, or even a Haradrim (the people riding the elephant) were unavailable when Sauron wanted to form a evil team to fight Gandalf team?
From the look of the trailer I'm assuming it would like the LOTR version of FF Dissidia

Fuck this game. Why do the LOTR gaming license holders feel like they need to constantly fuck Tolkien's corpse? Make an accurate game, and we'll buy it.

The game can be crap, but as long as it tries to hold true to the lore, we'll buy it.

Want to see what a functional, not-utterly-incorrect-in-every-sense, action-based LOTR game with the trappings of the genre looks like? Try War in the North.

Almost forgot:

Yes.

If they were under 12 years old
and if by "Lord of the rings fan" you mean "drooling WoW/Cod audience kids with such short attention span they need flashy lights every second to keep them playing"

Seriously.
This planet...goddamit

lolwut pretty much describes everything that needs to be said here.

That was so uninformative I think getting slapped with the title might have been more informative. Is this seriously a DOTA game? It looks more like, as someone above mentioned, the equivalent of Dissidia. Which, frankly, would be amazing. At least compared to this.
