An open-source MOBA similar to Heroes of the Storm. I want the community to be able to tweak and experiment with creating new maps, heroes, and game modes.

Heroes of the Storm is my favorite game, but development has stagnated. There's still a lot of potential for exploring new and innovating ideas within the genre, but things have stagnated thanks to the dominance of League of Legends and DotA2.

I don't know how easy it is to develop these, but Dota 2 has a pretty big custom game scene that is somewhat supported by Valve (they explicitly support it, host a lot of the custom game servers, and have the custom game browser built into the client... but they don't always address problems timeously).

We need more open source game platforms.
