Bit sad they aren't exploring removing the - IMO unnecessary - broadness of the item + skill-up system for something like the talents HotS had (or even better some sort of small branching talent tree), just to keep evolving the genre.
But I can also understand it, since well, they have an established playerbase and this is probably more a refresh than a "true" successor.
Yeah I wouldn't expect them to reinvent the wheel at this point. I think the only major difference that should reasonably be expected is in the change to the newer Unreal Engine. Better graphics, better optimization in the codebase(hopefully), and better performance. Otherwise I expect everything to be similar, but it's too early to say anything for certain I suppose.
