I see the issue being that way too many people are being drawn to this game with the words "MOBA," (never mind that I don't like the term) and they instantly think DotA. It's the most well-known one, and the one they come to expect seeing. Even if the game is radically different, they already went to see this video EXPECTING to see a DotA clone, whether or not it's true. You really can't change their minds, they already had it set before they even hit the play button. That's really another one of my gripes with this term; it makes people think DotA. BLC is definitely not that similar to DotA, and the way advertising is going people expect it to be like it. What else can they do but compare the two?
That was rather off-topic. Good work on getting this trailer posted on Gametrailers.com, it'll be the first of many things to increase hits for BLC. Hype is good for a game like this with an indie game company.
Reason without justice.
