Heroes of the Storm

[Velfi]

Anyone playing this? It's a Blizzard MOBA without all the items of LOL and whatnot, I never really got into LoL or Dota but Heroes is pretty fun and quick, 10-20 min games. Would probably be fun to quick match with a group, I've mostly been doing AI matches to learn the heroes and unlock their full talents to try them out (the talents are completely unlocked at hero level 4, which is 2-3 games or so).

I've played it a little bit ... enough to realize I am terrible at these types of games.

I played it during Beta.. haven't tried it since it's actual release. I liked it more than LOL because LOL relied on laning and last hitting so much... and I was terrible at last hitting shit.

I found myself really enjoying HotS.

My only complaint is that it seems too easy for the 'lower level' team to catch up exp-wise.

Never played LoL, but judging from HotS, having to ensure last-hit would be a major PITA.

Yeah, you don't have to last-hit and the whole team shares the XP pool so everyone on your team levels up together. It's also free to download with the ability to buy heroes/skins/skins for mounts/different mounts. They rotate a batch of characters that are available for free for like a week, and by I think player level 12 you unlock all of the free slots which is cool. You can also buy the heroes with gold that you earn from playing, I've bought I think 5 or 6 heroes so far, all from gold that I got from daily quests/playing.

I do agree that the enemy team seems pretty able to catch up unless you can really work together as a team and lock them/the objectives down.

I should have mentioned this site too: http://www.heroesfire.com/. Different builds for the heroes so you can see what's more effective for different playstyles. Seems really useful, once you unlock a hero's full talents at level 4 your build can make a big difference on how your hero plays/survives.

I have a good time with it. I'm best with Sylvanus

I haven't tried her yet, so far I'm mostly partial to Raynor, Valla, LiLi, Malfurion and kinda Anub'arak. I just tried a different Anub build last night with shielded bugs and stuff that lets me push towers all by myself even with no minions. It's pretty awesome.

I love playing LiLi with a solid playing tank.

Anub'arak 4 lyfe.

I just started ranked play (a whole 5 games in) and have moved up a couple ranks. Not a fan of the new map released today but overall the game is fun. It is definitely much easier than LoL, which I play too. I'm Nekk#1706 if anyone wants to add me.

Have you tried Brightwing? Amazingly OP if a little boring.
