Yup looks like it, just that there will be with character's from Tolkien's works, the father of the modern fantasy genre. I guess it would be an instant buy for anyone who is a fan of LOTR.

I actually am not really into this genre, mainly because all the other ones out there basically ripped everything from Tolkien's work and thus feels unoriginal. This got me hyped since we will finally get to play as the original characters from which all other fantasy related games, ripped from.

Meh, not a fan of MOBAs or LOTR, but I'm willing to give it a try though.

Oh you :rolleyes:.

I just don't understand how people enjoy MOBAs... Most of them are the same now or either very similar. They look like a watered down version of a RTS.

Yea, its basically like a RTS but on a micro level. I guess the appeal lies in the different types of characters, their different stats, different equipment and armor, different abilities, different bonuses etc brings in a lot of variables and due to that no two matches usually feel the same and we got to study opponents and make strategic decisions before entering a battle. For ex: Should I wear heavy equipment, which offers good overall protection but slows me down, or should wear a robe which has minimal protection but offers bonus damage against armored units etc. Basically some of the stuff we see in an RPG. All that coupled with team work makes it kinda cool i guess.
