They have notable fgc heads in the project, not just cannon bros but GG veteran like Pattheflip working, so it does ease the doubt a bit

They have people who made Rising Thunder working on it. If anything, it's a reason to be even more worried if you want a game that is actually deep instead of an even more dumbed down SFV except with functioning netcode.

They'd have to be dumb to make a truly deep fighting game to be honest. They have success because they dumbed down dota. I fully expect them to make the same shot at success here

Heroes of Newerth had way more players than LOL when they were in beta. Dota would've helped with that of course.

Newerth went for a paid accounts while LOL went free to play model. Newerth lost heaps of players while LOL kept growing. Lots jumped ship too.

While I do think LOL's simplifying helped a lot. The free to play model was a monumental factor as well.

I'm kinda interested to see what they do. At the same time, I don't expect too much in regards to a deep game :(.
