Hero Attack version 2.0 has been released! It is available on the North American server. Here is a video of version 2.0:
What is Hero Attack?
Hero attack is an MOBA or AOS style game similar to dota. Players work in teams, control heroes and their goal is to destroy the enemy team's main building. Heroes can gain experience, buy items and learn special abilities.
However, this is not a dota clone and there are a number of features that make Hero Attack unique from other games of this genre. Most noticeably each team chooses a race (Terran, Protoss or Zerg), and each race has a unique set of items, heroes and units. There are also 4 playable maps that players can choose from by voting at the start of the game and each map is very different. Some of the maps have special types of terrain such as mud (which reduces the movement speed of ground units by 50%), ice (which is slippery and prevents ground units from turning or slowing down) and lava (which damages ground units periodically). All heroes and items are based on sc2 units and abilities so it should be fairly strait forward how to use each hero. Each team has computer player that harvests minerals and vespene gas from its base and gives it to the allied players on its team. The computer player builds workers and constructs buildings throughout the game and as the game progresses additional unit producing structures will be constructed that will bring additional units and unit types to the lanes. There are also neutral hostile critters that you can kill for additional minerals and experience.
Currently Hero Attack has:
3 playable races.
4 playable maps.
36 playable heroes.
90 items.
Over 140 different abilities.
That is a ridiculously large amount of content and far more than other SC2 custom games of this genre.

In your video, you showed us 4 unique terrains that have a different playground(mud,icy ground, etc) which makes it interesting, but what
you should have also shown us are the abilities that the 36 heroes have, explaining the purpose of their creation. If you can do that, it will draw more attention to the dota players.

Many are not going to want to watch a 'documentary' video of you explaining the stuff. Make it brief, explaining parts of everything in 3-4 minutes.
