    Heroes of the Storm is the MOBA I want, it trims out most of the fluff and needless complexity of MOBAs that isn't fun and focuses it on the gameplay and the action. But it still keeps the strategy and the depth. If it were without problems it'd easily be a 9 or a 10.

    That being said it has some problems right now. The biggest 2 are matchmaking being BAD, like really bad, and the    Heroes of the Storm is the MOBA I want, it trims out most of the fluff and needless complexity of MOBAs that isn't fun and focuses it on the gameplay and the action.

    That being said it has some problems right now. The biggest 2 are matchmaking being BAD, like really bad, and the prices and gold earning rate are both poor too. Prices are horrible but gold earning rates initially seem good up until you start running out of bonuses. Then you realize a month or two later how bad they actually are. It makes League of Legends look generous and I HATE runes.

    Then you have alot of smaller issues like Blizzard not communicating very well, making completely odd changes nobody wanted like removing the ability to easily see critical buffs and removing the ability to see prices in the shop. It's actually easier to see prices in hero select than the SHOP atm.

    You also have a rather poor reconnect system and spectator UI/casting client, bad drafting UI/functionality, etc. They've got a long way to go just yet.

    But when they get there this will be the best MOBA on the market hands down IMO. I'm just not going to give them much of my money until they fix pricing.    … Expand

    How the mighty have fallen!

    As others have stated this is just another cash cow for Blizzard. It's actually sickening to me how Blizzard have become a money grabbing corporation from the small band of average Joe's who changed the face of gaming back in the 90's. Money and power inevitably corrupts. But what do we have left with Blizzard? The only Blizzard game I now play is Starcraft    How the mighty have fallen!

I look forward to the third installment on this front but since I've stopped playing WOW and I'm not really a Diablo fan, Blizzard are now like the band I used to love but who now play crappy pop music with only the occasional good song.

    The game itself is, as expected, in no way exceptional. It draws on the shoulders of other successes and I can honestly say I will never play it again after an hour of play in which my heart sunk and my faith in this one time great company vanished. Hearthstone was the first nail in the coffin, Heroes of the Storm is the second.    … Expand

It feels almost clunky and unresponsive and for my taste, it's to much team play oriented which is bad in several ways: you feel less impactful, playing solo can be extremely frustrating (way more than in LoL or Dota) and shared experience is just plain stupid idea,

    Game has also several technical issues, like unstable fps with even significant drops, issues with reconnect after getting DC.

    Even games has sever different maps to play, witch different objectives it feels all games are the same, objective after objective - there's not much freedom and strategy involved, it's basically all about how well you cooperate with teammates, and falling behind is more common point of no return than in other MOBAs, because you can't carry weaker players and loosing few objectives gives enemy team insane power spike. One more thing, being heavily objective based game falls short on direct pvp (both duels and team fights), which takes most of this gaming genre's fun away.

    If you are not a big fan of blizzard and their lore or you are not super casual, you might have hard time enjoying this game. Tbh, I can't find anything really positive and good to say about this game.    … Expand

    This game have a diferent type of play style as League or Dota you do not need to do a lot of things and thats the point I wanted to critic by this fact it do not show all the infinite possibilities or chances the game can give to you and is basically mastering one hero and thats it but another point that kills the game is de comunity toxicity.

    Pros:
    - games are short: 15-20 min
    - nice heores from Blizzard games

    Cons:
    - Matchmaking doesn't (read never) work. 90% of games is one sided.
    - League system is horrible
    - Some heroes are forgotten and unbalanced (from worst to best)

Also it doesn't care the experience of players, putting 4 dps and a healer for example in a game. I prefer waiting 4 minutes then to play like that.
    Also, they could at least avoid grouping on matchmaking with people you block (because can't play as a team or toxic people).

One team with healer, tank, and the other without a single healer?

The Blizzard matchmaking throughout their games is horrible: if you start winning too much, the game will pair you in a team of people who are losing too much, usually against a closed team, to force your defeat and keep you in the 50% V/D ratio.

    Heroes balancing, they nerfed the goods heroes the few that were balanced like ETC or Muradin becasue the kids were crying on the forums casue they haven't any skills to kill them or to use them.

    Most of the people use toxic heroes like Genji, Valeera, Nova useless in team just to get easy kills and run away like cod players they camp u in lane waiting for u to have few hp than use 2 skills to oneshot u, feeling so pro in their minds.

    Ranked match are totally a mess...u lost more points than u can gain with a win, so after the 10 qualifiy matches it's hard to rank up, usually or u play 200-300 match per season u u just lose ranks

    Full of russians toxic players from other moba like LoL

    Every 2 weeks a broken hero is released. Every 2 weeks you either pay 15k gold (which takes way more than that to make), spend 10$ in the new hero, or queue with 4 friends and tryhard or you lose.

    It's the most disgusting business model ever, it's somehow even worse than league of legends, where releasing broken heroes was somewhat negated by the fact there were 100+ of them.

    I really tried to like this game. I was given Alpha access by a friend at Blizzard, and played it for the last two years. Tonight I uninstalled it though. I realized I get more upset, frustrated, and angry when playing than I enjoy it.

    It is a nice clean, polished game. Unfortunately, that is the graphics. Gameplay is and always has been lacking. It is simple and faster, or at least    I really tried to like this game. I was given Alpha access by a friend at Blizzard, and played it for the last two years. Tonight I uninstalled it though. I realized I get more upset, frustrated, and angry when playing than I enjoy it.

    It is a nice clean, polished game. Unfortunately, that is the graphics. Gameplay is and always has been lacking. It is simple and faster, or at least shorter than other Moba's, but it has no real depth. Also there are some gameplay design flaws that I pointed out were terrible decisions in Alpha, but because they are core concepts they stay in the game. One of these things is the shared XP. Unlike other Moba's where you have your own level, your whole team shares a level. So if one player is not contributing, it hamstrings the entire team even more than it does in a regular moba. Another issue is roles are very set, you can't compensate for a bad healer by taking heal items, because you dont have any. So basically one bad team member destroys your chance of winning a match. thanks to a horrible matchmaking system, once you lose a match, you are more likely to get bad team members.

    Basically, what happens, is if you start winning games, winning is pretty easy and you can keep winning. Start losing and the same thing happens in reverse. What happens though Is you will get leavers, maybe not the first season you start playing, but sooner or later it will happen in your placement games for a ranked season. At which point you will be fed bad teammates until you start winning more than your losing. As the other team is also bad, it eventually averages out. However, if you get unlucky and have the worse player in the match on your team, you will lose. Because of the way it is designed, it does not matter how good you play, it simply matters who has the worst overall player, or in some cases the most bad players. This makes for a frustrating and miserable experience.

    I would like to add that i have been on both sides of the teeter-totter when winning you get matched with winners and games are enjoyable even if you lose. When losing you get matched with losers and games are frustrating even when you win.

    Because of all the horrible design choices the ranks are near meaningless. I saw someone that was playing at top tier rank 1 on the old ranking system, then Blizzard revamped the ranking system and he ended up at silver 2 with is the 8th rank from the bottom with 25 ranks plus master and grand master. After dozens of games he was silver 5 which was 3 ranks lower. This is someone that was playing in top tier matches before.

    TL:DR. HOTS is a polished turd due to intentional design choices by Blizzard compounded by their poor match making system.    … Expand

    If you are a parent whose child is playing this and worse, if you let your child to use your credit card, this game is not only going to rob you of your precious money, but also raising a gambler, all hidden in plain sight!

    This game blasts you with random ''lootboxes'' on each hero level-up, yet keeps a lot of content (''epic'' skins) accessible only from them, not able to be directly bought, and allows to buy more of these lootboxes with real money.
    There is also a psychological trick, called fake currency. First you buy "shards" with real money and then use these shards to buy lootboxes, it seems to lessen the "pain of purchasing" creating a perceived distance to money.

    This trend has to die before it spreads, already upcoming Warner Bros game Shadows of War also is including lootboxes, same BS is happening in another Blizzard games - Overwatch and Hearthstone.

    Gaming community accepts being treated increasingly worse - fanboyism or plain apathy caused broken games on release - enormous first day patches, a lot of content cut out and resold as "DLC", paying for unfinished games, called "early access", the greedy men in suits push for more - they want gambling! They want your kids to be gambling!!! And if the sheep will ignore this one too, it will happen!

    Apart from that, the game itself is very retarded and so is the average player, because for them this game has been designed and marketed.
    No items, no gold, no builds, no strategy. Just go in, mash buttons. There are "talents" but they are merely a change of style not a change in power, there are no power spikes whatsoever, there is no individualism.
    The worst part of this game is shared EXP system. All team shares level. It is good for utter morons, who are the target community, as it helps even complete failures to be carried to mediocrity.
    For good players this system is unacceptable. It keeps you down. It doesn't allow you to shine. No matter what you do, it feels without impact - and so go the matches, they're like slowly moving wall. If you're winning, it doesn't happen fast. This game doesn't respect your skill, it doesn't respect your time. And if you lose, if you are pulled down by morons, it feels like punching a slowly moving concrete wall. Game goes and goes and you got this false hope but because everyone in the enemy team got stat advantage ALL ACROSS THE BOARD you can try and try but eventually lose. There is also no surrender option.
    When comparing all kinds of PvP games - DOTA 2, LoL, other MOBAs, CS, Halo, other shooters, whatever.. this game is the most hostile to individual plays and the most catering to morons. Do you enjoy being a digital babysitter to random idiots?

    Many maps are recycled, the "strategy" in them all is the same - go to the objective, it is essentially a numbers game, the most people at the ridiculously overpowered objective are present, that team wins.

    Strategy in them all is the same, exactly like President Camacho's speech in the movie Idiocracy: "3 point plan to fix everything, Number 1 - we got this guy Not Sure, Number 2 - he got da highest IQ out of anybody, Number 3 - he's gonna fix everything!!!" *wild applause now*
    It is the same here: Number 1 - kill minions, collect stuff, Number 2 - deliver collected stuff to temple / checkpoint, whatever, Number 3 - summon big scary monster, big gun or whatever and proceed to kick ass
    Bonus point is if you're playing this on Windows 8 or 10 - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80/5d/d4/805dd41210153c62db3a48eeba6534a4.jpg

    The graphics also are crap considering the insanely high system requirements, there are still reports of failures, glitches and low FPS even on the most powerful of gaming PCs.

    Also do you love each new hero released to be super-overpowered for a while, for the company to milk money from purchases only to nerf it in oblivion soon before the next hero is released? And this practice constantly repeated? Like it is in League of Legends? This is exactly what happens in this game.

    And from the old heroes, the balance is completely wrecked. Some heroes are worse than situational, utter, complete garbage, no reason to pick them, others are super OP and can do good in nearly every game, every scenario. And no - that is not addressed.

    There is also an influx of retarded pop-culture inspired cancer "heroes" from Overwatch, them in the same game with well-established, lore-rich heroes of Diablo and Warcraft universes is an insult, however, these heroes have been made when Blizzard was good, when it was real Blizzard. Right now it is a zombie owned by Activision, kept technically alive only to pump out as much money as possible, using every sleazy tactic out there and even pushing the limit.

Blizzard is one of those companies that is still alive only from name recognition, and this game is a proof of that. Heroes is a "Hero Brawler" which is an attempt to dig into the money from a game which used to be a mod for their game Warcraft 3. This game is the perfect for those who are new to the genre but are turned down by the complexity of Dota 2 or League of Legends. This game is simple, casual, fun. However, as with all their modern games, Blizzard is trying to make this game a competitive E-Sport, which causes issues with the structure of the game. The main game is like most ARTS titles, you're in a 5v5 map where the objective is to destroy the enemy's core, which is guarded by forts, and you have to go down lanes and destroy these forts. Unlike most games of this type, your team levels up together, and instead of skill leveling and items, you have power ups called 'talents' which you receive every 3 levels, with the choices differing for each hero. Unfortunately this does minimize hero creativity, something the genre is very well known to do well at. There are 10 different battlegrounds, and an ARAM map that nobody plays on. These battlegrounds differ in layout and in objectives that help you push the lanes and win the match. These objectives are hit or miss however, there are those that go well with the ARTS gameplay with focus on dominating you lane like Dragon Shire, however, most maps are distracting and involve you frequently leaving the lane to got jungling for a few minutes like Garden of Terror. These objectives end up feeling like distractions, and you end up running around the entire map trying to get them, without a quick breather in most cases. The objective bonuses also differ, but some are worst than others, and often feel like game over being hit by them like the one in Cursed Hallow where your forts stop firing and your minions have 1 hp. Some bonuses involve the game destroy towns for you and these maps fail to balance laning and pushing and with objectives, making these maps all about standing around doing objectives until the game wins itself, and really shows how the game could be completely mechanically remade, and yet play almost the same. Now lets talk about heroes. There are currently 53 heroes in the game with with a weekly rotation of 7 heroes, which you can increase to 10 by leveling up. The f2p model is similar to that of league, but much more demanding. The maximum price for heroes is $10, and their price with in game currency is ridiculously high. The only way to reach their prices is through daily quests, which forces you to frequently play heroes against weak bots so that you can get them over with. Items like skins aren't better. Average skin prices range from $7.50 - $15.00 and are fairly expensive by industry standards. So, how does the game perform? Not so great. The game is poorly optimized with many FPS and Ping spikes with a lot of stuttering even on high end PCs, and the engine handles reconnects very poorly, having the client catch up to the server, even if you are alt-tabbing. There are a few issues with the core gameplay as well. Due to a lack of items, there are no regular health pots. Instead, there are Healing Fountains and Regen Globes that heal you in a team fight. Due to their abundance and short cooldowns however, recalling and going back to base become useless since there is a lot of sustain options in the game, especially since all the supports are all heal-bots, meaning that they mostly revolve around healing allies. Other differences in this game is the inclusion of ammo bars on forts and keeps. Although you can rely on your minions to tank them, once they run out of ammo, your minions become useless and and you can take on the towns yourself. Overall, this game is an interesting concept, to say the least. However, it is not completely well made, with gameplay that negates certain aspects, of the game, and not well balanced. This game is fun as a casual free-to-play game, but Blizzard is trying to show off this game as competitive, which it isn't and won't be any time soon. This game could've been good, but many aspects ruin the game and makes it not fun, and makes you wish that you were playing Dota 2.… Expand

    1) Matchmaking. It has the worse matchmaking system in existence. This is because the MMR ratings for each player are broken for various reasons, and while we have given feedback to Blizzard they refuse to fix those issues. This is the first game in my life that i have experienced more retarded teamates as i climbed through the ladder. One would expect that once you become better, your teamates and opponents will be better, but no... You grind your way up to diamond and masters so you can have the priviledge of playing with complete imbeciles on your team

    2) The report system in this game is trash. It is hurting innocent players and it lets criminals get away with "murder". I have been repeatedly penalized for saying to people to stop feeding, getting banned from playing ranked even without calling names. Just criticizing bad picks or bad plays. Blizzard's GMs refuse to even look into my cases and say the penalties are justified. It is somehow forbidden to talk about strategy in this supposedly strategic team game.... Yet many people are allowed to die to towers, feed, troll, troll pick at draft, curse, and nothing happens to them. Also, the abusive chat report options is abusable because it is automatic. It just works on a number of reports, so if someone with his alternate accounts and his friends wants to ruin your account and your real money purchases, he can just mass report your account. Penalty durations double with each iteration, no max duration.

    3) Lack of polish. The game has crashed on numerous occasions, runs very erratically, has an attrocious reconnect system, and very high requirements due to it being essentially a 2 core game.

    4) This is a personal thing for older players, the new loot system with version 2.0 essentially made our previous purchases worthless. Hots used to demand really high prices for cosmetics, and we bought them because there was no other way to buy them. Yet now Blizzard made all cosmetics obtainable by grinding the game, and every free to play player can have access to the same things we paid real money for. This was really unfair for real money players prior to 2.0.

    All in all, this could have been a success, but Blizzard management is attrocious and buried their own game with their decisions.    … Expand

My complaints are pretty straightforward, so I'll go with the Pro/Con format.

I'll mostly comment on the current state of the game, as Blizzard seems to have settled on the bulk of the game's key features by now. My complaints are pretty straightforward, so I'll go with the Pro/Con format.

    Pros:
    - Beautifully designed game with some amazing characters from across all Blizzard worlds brought to life in a vibrant art style.
    - A solid attempt at bringing more casual players into the MOBA fold. Very easy to pick up and play.
    - Many characters and abilities feel very punchy and responsive.
    - Objective-oriented play is a breath of fresh air from the highly individually competitive structure of many other MOBAs (although - many players don't yet realize this and ignore objectives, leading to a swift loss)

    Mixed:
    - Simplification of the MOBA format across the board. This is a blessing and a curse, as you lose a lot of control but also avoid a lot of unnecessary frustration. Still, overall it tends to make the game feel very shallow.

    Cons:
    - Practically unplayable due to lag, disconnects, and crashes a large percentage of the time. This frequently led me to be counted as absent from games I played 100% of the way through, granting no XP or Gold even for a victory.
    - Extremely aggressive pricing has kept me from spending a single dime on the game, as characters and skins tend to cost around $10 apiece. The cost to unlock all of the content in the game is sky high. And if you're hoping to earn it all through the in game currency, good luck. It would take ages of constant play at a rate far slower than any other MOBA.
    - Absolutely broken matchmaking, made worse by the snowballing nature of the game format. You will know in the first 3 minutes whether your team will win or lose, as once a team gets ahead they almost invariably stay there.
    - Many characters and abilities feel completely useless, with no sign of incoming balancing.
    - Talents are locked behind level walls, which is a death sentence if you are prevented from leveling as per the above lag, crashes, and disconnects.

    Perhaps in 6-12 months or so they'll have some of the bugs ironed out... Although, not to sound overly cynical, I've kinda lost faith in Blizzard's commitment to updating and improving their games. Money has become too central a factor in their design philosophy.    … Expand

    If you are not spending real money they will nerf you. Your damage will register but it will not effect other players as much. They will also team you up with other nerfed players.

    Another mediocre game from Blizzard. Painfully average. It has no depth. Gets boring really fast. Stuff they sell is way too expensive. Graphics and art are mediocre. Actually its generic. Animations are sometimes so cheap it makes me cry.

    Don't wast you time. This genera needs to have a pick counter pick of heroes and items. Play dota and you wont need to pay for those heroes. farther more the latest hero wont be op to reward the people who bought it. Bad game development Blizzard.

    Basically - extremely poor user experience. The ladder is pretty bad. Too many heroes, too few bans. A number of heroes feel like they cheese the game. But you can't ban them all.

You will win easy or lose without being able to make anything.

    For start I hate MOBA type games, but HOTS is a moba for people who dont like mobas...to put it short I liked it alot. No more 20 minutes just farming gold to get into fray, no more 1 hour games, no more billions of items wich get streamlined into one specific item that you actually need, making it almost impossible for a new person to actually do something, no more idiots yelling at youFor start I hate MOBA type games, but HOTS is a moba for people who dont like mobas...to put it short I liked it alot. No more 20 minutes just farming gold to get into fray, no more 1 hour games, no more billions of items wich get streamlined into one specific item that you actually need, making it almost impossible for a new person to actually do something, no more idiots yelling at you for doing one slight mistake.

    This game is pure fun, they streamlined the gameplay and made it what in my opinion MOBA should be, quick action paced tactical brawl, wich doesnt care about your gear but more on your actuall skill and tactics. The heroes are numeral, the gameplay is fun, maps are nice and overall its great game. It has some flaws as connectivity issues, some maps are badly designed. But its really solid game an awesome moba for people who dont like mobas, gameplay mechanics wise 9/10.

    But now lets get unto the ugly truth, how blizzard BUTCHERED, let me repeat, butchered this game into state of being unplayable crap. They made perfect game, but they destroyed it. Lets get straight down to the worst deal breaker. Matchmaking....the matchmaking is the WORST I have seen in the history of gaming. Its plain horrible, if you want fun balanced game....no you WONT find it here every single game, is either you steamroll enemy or enemy steamrolls you. NOTHING BETWEEN, scores like 30-0 kills is normal....its just utterlly pathetic and there is no excuse. I dont even know how they managed it, its even impossible to make such matchmaking, it destroys any challenge or fun of the game, you either just kill enemy team without any resistance or you get steamrolled, HOW IS THAT FUN????
    Than another brilliant idea was implementation of bots, if one member of your team goes AFK, you literally lose because they get replaced by bot that is brain dead, the other team groups up and game over. The bot just gives them free exp, while contributing nothing to your team. I dont even understand who ever tought this would be good idea??? Why not let other person in queue just jump in??? Or give the team some kind of boost??? No, it gets replaced by good for nothing bot, that ruins your chance of winning + awesome connectivity means this happens in 90% of games, im not kidding.
    Another big flop is that the controls are flaky, its not intuitive you feel like you are controlling pushing a rock. You cant do precise moves, you cant skirmish, you just cant do any kind of manouvers so it removes any kind of skill in terms of movement. Than heroes are unbalanced, to the point of there are only few choosable heroes, ussually the most COSTLY ONES, must be a coincidence...*cough* cash cow *cough* on paper it looks lovely, so many combinations and unique heroes and gamestyles....haha no, there is only one gamestyle, choose overpowered ones and win, but op hero of today may be weak hero of tommorow if the price goes down. Community wont boycoot this because they would be fools cause they spend hard cash buying those op heroes...who would want balanced game when they paid to win right?
    I thought there is skill involved, but no....actually this game favors those who are less skilled in fact this game has to be the most luck base multiplayer game I have ever seen.
    Lets not forget the most intelligent decision, to not be able to choose heroes right before match like in other moba games. You choose hero and go into queue. The awesome matchmaking system now pits you with totally random heroes, wich is 50/50, if your team is imbalanced, you cant change your hero to suit team when game loads or at the beggining of match....no its game over, you are doomed even before you start game and you cant do squat.
    Now unto the grinding. You make 30 gold per match if you win, game lasts 20 min average, heroes cost 2000-10 000 gold. If you will play daily 2 hours you make 180 gold....that means you have to play 11 days to just get one cheapest hero or 22 hours non stop....yes you have daily quests but you get one per day and its only 300 gold per quest...you get rewards for leveling heroes, but with the number of heroes, cost of heroes and rewards are one time only....the grind is unbeliavable + you have to have 10 heroes to get into the league battles!!!! Dont worry heroes cost from 2 dollars to 10 dollars!!!! You can buy skin for 15 dollars!!!! This is outrageous!!! Again you buy only the 10 000 ones cause the cheaper ones in league will get butchered. So pay to win cash cow....
    Plus there is absolutely NO ROOM for solo gameplay, you cant just drag your team out of loss, no you can do anything in your power but the game is all about team, if one of your team members suck, game over you lost and you cant do anything to change that. Even the pacing is garbage, anything you do until high levels is usseless, you can push one objective in higher levels and you win...one lucky completion of objective and you win....

    The game is awful. Spells and abilities are great disappointment of the whole game. Players don't need great skill to land most of spells the heroes have. There is no high risk - high reward system - you can faceroll enemies without significant impact. Interaction between you and your enemy is so close even you play as Nova (that girl with sniper rifle). There is no spell such as Mirana's arrow or Pudge's hook that can change the outcome of fight. Therefore players don't need to play cautiously because nobody can stun or drag up and quickly kill from nowhere. Another example comes from LoL: there are such skill-required spells like Ashe's and Jinx's ults that can quickly kill an enemy if landed properly (Nidalee's spear too). HotS doesn't have this at all. It's all about lazy fighting and doing things to complete objectives of current map.

    Significance of individual skill is nothing. The game is too teamplay oriented as mentioned before. No high risk - high reward. Most of spells are identical, crappy, lazy and easy to use. I give one point just because of familiar characters i have seen in WoW and Diablo.

    stay far away. There is no carry. What I mean about that is hero lvls are shared by the team not individual. So if your team sucks you will lose.

    Here are, in no particular order, the reasons why I think HOTS is a bad game.

    -No individual skill, the game is about walking in groups of 5, then standing in circles while facerolling and aiming in the enemy's general direction. Individually, you pretty much have no CC and damage, and the game is, overall, not punishing at all.

Individually, you pretty much have no CC and damage, and the game is, overall, not punishing at all. Just compare getting hooked by Pudge in Dota / Blitz in LoL to getting hooked by stitches in HOTS. While getting hooked in bot Dota and Lol is a punishment for being out of position and pretty much a death sentence if your teammates aren't around. In HOTS you almost want to thank Stitches for bringing you closer to the enemy.

    - Shared levels, this is just terrible. In other games you're supposed to protect the most critical characters so they don't fall behind. In this game it doesn't matter. Ganked the carry 8 times ? Well that's okay, the support got the xp for him so it doesn't make a difference whether the carry lives or dies. It's not like people are separated on lanes anyway, as I said in my previous point the game pretty much rewards you for playing as a choo choo train from level 1 until the end.

    - No gold, this just adds insult to injury. So you're not only forgiven for being unable to XP by yourself, you're also forgiven for being unable to land a killing blow. So levels don't matter, gold doesn't matter, kills don't matter.... What matters in this game ? Is capping circles and facerolling really that much of a reward in itself ?

    -A LOT of heroes are similar : Straight line skillshot, cone skillshot, escape mechanism and AOE ult. Well at least that reduces the number of necessary purchases. Speaking of which...

    - 10 dollars a hero. That's just completely ridiculous. If the game was F2P or cheaper people would at least give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt. But with such ludicrous prices it just makes Blizzard point perfectly clear : This game is just an attempt at making some easy money off a popular genre. I'm sorry but if Heroes of Newerth and Smite, both made by much smaller studios, can survive on (respectively) selling skins only / a pretty cheap heroes bundle, then there is no reason why Blizzard, which is already extremely rich, has to grab that much money.

    Let's face it, if this game wasn't made by Blizzard people wouldn't even have blinked an eye when it was released. And don't give me that "but they tried to innovate !" excuse, they didn't innovate anything. Capping circles is at least a 20 year old concept, everything else is just a streamlined and dumbed down dota-like experience.

    - the fact that not everyone has access to every hero makes whole playerbase look like total noobs. Shop dweller doesn't care.
    - overall game design: shared exp and no last hits. Shop dweller doesn't care.
    - top heroes, ie new releases, in the past ranked seasons are always in the bottom tier of new ones. Shameful. Shop dweller doesn't care.

    Blizzard went full communism in this game and it shows because it failed.    … Expand

    I was pretty stoked for this game... I was all for a more casual faster action game. At least I thought so until I played it. I had a great time because I was still learning and everything was fresh, but after a few days i started to really see the flaws. A more casual moba is ok.... but I think they took it to the extreme. Some examples.

Some examples.

    1. Heroes feel weak.... like really weak. You can be level 20 and it still takes awhile just to kill a few creeps. And for the most part the 1 on 1 battles are so slow that its hard to out skill an opponent. need to be AT LEAST 2v1 to kill someone.

    2. The talent system... don't let it fool you... very rarely will you ever use 90% of the choices. Some are just obviously better.

    3. My biggest gripe.... is team dependency. LITERALLY one person can bring your whole team down. You will not be able to carry. If that ONE guy does not come help with objectives you most likely will lose. EVERY streamer I watch that is rank 1 NEVER soloQs... Always have 3+ friends... and that is just bad game design.

    4. Worse matchmaking system I have ever had to pleasure of playing. And honestly I think this is because of what i stated in #3. There is ZERO individual impact/performance... So how can you rate a persons MMR if this game is 100% about teamwork with strangers?

    5. Most expensive cash shop out of League, Dota and Smite. There are maybe 2-3 good skins. Rest are lazy and generic.

    DONT you DARE voice your opinions on the forums... the blind fanboy is real.    … Expand

    Made an account just to warn other MOBA fans out there that this is literally the worst cash grab from Blizzard as of yet. The other 0 ratings ring absolutely true in that it is the most dumbed down and horribly crafted MOBA. All Blizzard is trying to do is basically dominate the gaming industry, and this game is evidence that they should have stayed in their comfort zone; whatever you doMade an account just to warn other MOBA fans out there that this is literally the worst cash grab from Blizzard as of yet.

All Blizzard is trying to do is basically dominate the gaming industry, and this game is evidence that they should have stayed in their comfort zone; whatever you do steer clear, such a waste of potential as I was willing to postpone judgement until it was playable but I promise it will disappoint you in the extreme as it did for me.… Expand

    Heroes of the Storm is an exceptional game that’s thrown the cat amongst the pigeons in this rigid genre.

    In Heroes of the Storm you play as one of Blizzard's iconic characters from Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo. At first glance the game looks like a typical 5 vs 5 MOBA, but there are changes that differentiate it from its competitors. The matches are shorter, items have been replaced with talents and all maps have different side objectives. Overall, the changes have made the game more intense and varied. The main thing that I have issues with is the payment model. At first it seems fair and reasonable, but after a while you realize that you have to spend tons of money if you want to unlock all the characters or play the game for a long time. [Sept 2015]

    A welcoming avenue into a visually complex genre, with supreme production values. [Summer 2015, p.74]
