This game should change its name
As LTD2 players we want what's best to grow the community and support the developers to ensure it's continuation. Changing the name seems like an obvious benefit on many fronts.
Legion TD 2 is objectively a bad name. I understand the history of it and why they chose it, but at this point it's like when they released the movie Trolls 2 but there was no Trolls 1. People will look at the game and immediately try to decide "should I even try playing this or should I look for the first Legion TD? Which one is better?" Etc etc.
The name Legion TD isn't particularly descriptive or useful to what the game is about. It's not really a tower defense game which are much less dynamic and typically not PvP.
We're pretty far past peak Warcraft 3 days so there's no recognition there that will draw new players in. Also this game is so so much better than a WC3 custom map, it cheapens it to keep the association.
Doing a full rebrand/reskin of the game wouldn't be worth the effort, but doing a simple rename and redo of the splash art and menus would be relatively minor efforts that could have a huge impact in drawing buyers from the Steam store browser.
Thoughts?

I'm not sure. My friend found this game a couple days ago, BECAUSE we had played the wc3 version recently, and it had the same name. I suppose that's rare now, but it still happened! She got so excited that she found it. We bought it immediately and have been playing it as much as possible. I'm pretty fond of the name, my friend and I wouldn't have found it otherwise, but i get where you're coming from. I don't know if it's a necessary change, though.
My brother even started playing it after i told him about it. I'm planning on getting other family members to get into the game as well! It's been a lot of fun.
Yeah. Iām in the same boat, only recognized the game because of the name other wise I probably would never have bought it
I think many of us found the game this way but I don't think there's much juice left to squeeze there. Interesting that it's still happening, though.
I think it's been mentioned before, but Dota 2 is much the same. And if they had changed the name recently, then my friend and I never would have found it, which would suck. I think it's safe enough to leave the name. Especially since the game is very inexpensive, but you can play it as much as you want or can. There's people willing to try a game just because it's on the cheaper end compared to other games anyway. Imo, there's a lot of value in this game for its price tag.
