A map is a mod for Warcraft, created using Warcraft's own editor by someone who bought Warcraft. It's distributed for free, and the characters will still be associated with Warcraft, and therefore with Blizzard, so it's allowed. However, a separate game made under the label of a competitor is a different matter.
Be honest, are you just pretending to know what you're talking about, pretending to understand the politics of copyrights and sequels, when in reality you're just spouting nonsense?
people will still associate the characters with Warcraft
You know why I don't like young Dota players? Because they can find art with "Maiev and Illidan" and then be surprised and ask "what are they doing together?". Calling characters by their Dota names, leading to confusion. And all sorts of other things.
Admit it, you're just pretending to know what you're talking about, pretending to understand copyright and sequel policies, but in reality, you're just spouting nonsense?
You're the one pretending, but I work in game development. We changed the game icon from a blue ant to a red one because there was a cartoon about blue ants, and in America, they could have sued us for that.
And where is the great hero of the Alliance? Where is Proudmoore?
He's not in Dota. There's Kunkka instead. The model is similar, and he's a class of admiral, but it's not Proudmoore, it's Kunkka, the Dota artist.
So, you're working in the wrong area of game development.
Added 21 minutes ago Imagine, Omega. There are, for example, Heroes 6. Also based on Ashan. Unlike the previous part, it's made by Black Hole, not Nival. And guess what – there are all sorts of heroes, the same kingdoms, all sorts of artifacts. How does Nival allow such a thing! I can't even imagine.
Or there's Disciples 3, made by Viable Games, not Strategy First. And there, too, is the world of Nevendaar, RACES, names, even the units are the same. Isn't that outrageous? You, as a copywriter, probably know better. Explain it to me in detail?
And then some random company of students makes Dota 2 and steals ideas. People have really gone wild, they think they can get away with anything.
Imagine, Omega. There are, for example, the sixth installment of the Heroes series. Also set in Ashan. Unlike the previous part, it's made by Black Hole, not Nival. And guess what – it has all sorts of heroes, the same kingdoms, various artifacts. How could Nival allow that! I can't even imagine. Or there's Disciples 3, made by a Russian studio, not Strategy First. And there too, the world of Nevendar, the RACES, the names, even the units are the same. Isn't that outrageous? You, as a copywriter, probably know better. Can you explain it in detail?
Moni, it seems a bit too harsh. Ubisoft owns the rights to the Heroes franchise, and Nival was only given the right to create the fifth installment. But the universe and the label belong to Ubisoft. The same thing happened with Disciples; the brand was bought out.
Now you're trying to excuse yourself.
And if you meant that all along, why did you comment on something obvious that I didn't deny or try to present as something else?

Basically, Omega is obsessed with me. Yesterday, I didn't hear a stupider phrase all day than "Blizzard won't allow it and won't make Heroes in Dota 2."
Seriously, guys.
