Some of the ideas in their design sound pretty damn cool, but the underlying reasoning sounds pretty stupid:
Blizzard want Blizzard DOTA matches to be much faster and shorter than typical Defence of the Ancients battles. They hope the smaller time investment will help to reduce the anger and infighting that can often break out during DOTA bouts. Instead of claiming kills on enemy heroes, experience is shared equally between all heroes involved in damaging the hero. ‘Kills’ will be replaced by ‘Takedowns.’ The devs say that this is an attempt to remove last hit kill steals, removing one of the main “conflict points” that cause players to become infuriated with their team mates.
This is all quite interesting. Within the next year, we should have League of Legends, Blizzard's DotA, and Valve's DotA 2.

Holy shit, I had that same thought a few weeks ago. It's a no brainer.
Marvel and DC wouldn't work together, but if they did...wow. That would blow people away. It'd be hugely popular overnight.
5v5 teams would be: Superman, Spider-man, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Dr. Doom vs. Wolverine, Batman, Hulk, Lex Luthor, and Joker.
