Holy shit this game is almost unplayable right now. They must have released the flood gates to every moron on the planet. It isn't uncommon for half the team to abandon if the first 5 minutes of the game you're losing. This is hell.

Right that's why I said less often, I have been watching some lol stuff so I know they play during the week too but they don't always play all day or every day and when they don't you'll see the high viewer count streams from pro players, but if there's a tournament going on no one streams.
And they don't have any penalties for leaving. They replace the leaver by a bot, which is both bad and good(good cause it's not entirely 4vs5 but bad because bots just feed like shit). Game does seem to suck atm if you don't 5man queue cause you either face a 5man or you have leavers on your team if anything goes wrong(and even if it goes well), based on what I've seen. They need more people, soft penalties for leaving like dota has(you leave, you end up in a separate queue with leavers only) and probably separate queues for solo and group matchmaking. But first they need more people.
No which is why there is really no reason not to just abandon if you feel like it

Blizzard's schtick is similar to Apple, take something and make it as completely user friendly as possible and thereby guarantee marketshare. I think they have their work cut out for them with this game simply because the nature of MOBAs have not at all been casual friendly to date.
Sure LoL and DOTA are incredibly popular with millions of players already, but I'd wager there is a huge segment of the gaming populace that just is turned away by the barrier to entry for these games and which are ripe for picking.

LoL didn't have much more than that iirc but they were adding heroes every 2weeks for a long time. Dota had more but they did the soft launch thing where it was in more or less open beta for many months before it actually launched.
I think 40 would be an acceptable amount, maybe even 30, depends on how much they work on talents and shit. Currently has 22 in base game and they're showing 4 more at PAX so 26, not too bad. They have some more files in the game that have been datamined so there might be more in preparation, and they did a sneak peek of 3 more at PAX(chen, kaelthas and sylvanas).

Game is intended to be deceptively shallow right? Easy entrance, low barrier to entry, high monetization? Start with 15-30 heros. Release new heros every 2 weeks or a month and offer advanced release play periods. Everyone wins.
Get to around 80 heros and start revamping heros and start throwing in delux reskins and "skill challenge" maps.

Seriously. I hate how there are no keys, it's just Blizzard selecting the battle.net accts
