Bear in mind, I may not exactly be the most knowledgeable here. However, based on the gameplay I have seen, it literally looks like it could have been as easy to run as League of Legends or Dota 2. What is it about Ashes that makes it have such hefty demands?
 
Solution
The scale. An AotS map is many times the size of a map in LoL or Dota2. It has many magnitudes more units in play at any given time, all rendered in higher quality. There's a lot more going on in AotS than in MOBA games.
Graphics and the sheer amount of units you can pump out.

Older RTS games like Dota 2, LoL, CnC, etc. all don't really build a ton of units if I'm not mistaken. Where as Ashes, it seems that you build far more units. I like it, it adds some extra realism to it.
 


That makes more sense. Thank you.
Although, it doesn't seem like the quality is that much higher in AotS.
