    Why bother spending any time or money, no one plays this. While waiting 45mins+ in que for a "quickmatch" I made an entire account just to write this and tell you why blizzard sucks. It sucks. Matchmaking is trash and you will spend more time waiting in line than actually playing the game.

    Used to have a lot of hype around this game when it first came out. Years gone by, not a single significant change to the game. Game is really easy and very little room for competitiveness. Also the devs/blizz probably gave up on this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's extremely rare I'll rate a game this low but as a Moba player I feel a true rating and review for this is needed. It's a League of Legends/Dota knock off with all Blizzard heroes. Which wouldn't be bad except it's basically babies first Moba. No strategy for building required, no counter building, no items for purchase and no leveling abilities (talents unlock at certain levels that add effects to skills). Then to top it off you get 1 free character, and maybe a second from a loot chest after the tutorial, meaning you can only play a small portion of the roles. There's no free weekly/monthly rotation of characters, there's no free character from each class like other Moba games. If you want an easy game where you have 0 thinking and pay to get everything this is for you.… Expand

    Despite the fact that it is original with well-designed characters and maps, matchmaking and the social system with reports is as terrible as possible. Of the many multiplayer games played, this is the worst game because of its huge lack of sociality. The developers never wanted people to play it

    Blizzard could take instalockers, afk players, and people picking multiple roles more seriously since matchmaking is the core handicap in this game.
    My account is banned for chat violation and you know what I've been through if you played this game. Yes I got really mad sometimes because of the toxic profile you get matched with.

    I have wasted my years to play with troll players that pick heroes that can be easily countered or the same roles already picked by the other teammates. Matchmaking system is just terrible. No cooperation, no communicaion, no help, players that don't know what they do etc. This game has a lot to go though but its already dead anyways.    … 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. This will improve the morale of money spending players and cause them to spend more money. Don't be a victim to their money sucking agenda.

    No teamskill balance in quick matches here.
    95% of games are either super-easy walk or are impossible to win.

    Feels like they enforce 50% winrate and not with quality matching but with "wow, u are above 50% and u need to lose immediately" rule.

    I have been playing Blizzard's game Heroes of the Storm since the day of the game's Alpha launch. This was around 4/2015. Around 5/2021, I was permanently banned and an account valued at well over $1000 is no longer accessible to me.

    I have been reported numerous times for abusive chat. And this is completely understandable as I have been silenced on multiple occasions for it.    I have been playing Blizzard's game Heroes of the Storm since the day of the game's Alpha launch. This was around 4/2015. Around 5/2021, I was permanently banned and an account valued at well over $1000 is no longer accessible to me.

    I have been reported numerous times for abusive chat. And this is completely understandable as I have been silenced on multiple occasions for it. Understandably. I have a bit of an issue with expressing my irritability verbally and pressuring people to play correctly.

    In many cases, however, it was not a matter of straight up crude vulgarity. Although early in the game's life it certainly was, over the years I matured a bit and stuck to more specific claims of other player's performance. Addressing such issues play by play, as many neurotic players do.

    - My biggest argument is that if Blizzard's matchmaking service was effective, then there would be less frustration displayed by players of their teammates in games. Blizzard, as do all other competitive games developers, provide players with a mute/block button. It is the thin skinned player's responsibility to use such features.

    - My secondary argument is that if blizzard cannot create a perfect match making system, then Blizzard cannot expect perfect player conduct. To expect either is irrational.

    - My third argument is that players should not be permanently banned for conduct. Perhaps silenced for a year, perhaps temporarily banned for a year after so many cases. But mental issues are a thing and they are widely possessed in many forms by gamers. Some are offensive, and some are fragile. It is no place of a developer of any sort of software to try and dictate the behaviors of it's users using outright banning of an account as the consequence of not upholding said predefined behaviors.

    - My final argument has to do with a game's lifespan. If a player displays toxic behavior, be it outright vulgarity or simply the revealing to other players of their individual faults, it is likely that behavior is not going to suddenly disappear. It likely may become toned down over time, especially after numerous and increasing chat restriction penalties, but it is unlikely that it will fully disappear. So the longer the game is up, the chance of the company eventually banning the player increases drematically year by year.

    Blizzard and other game's developers should be legally restricted to a year-by-year rule where you can impose a penalty for the remainder of an annual cycle that restricts them (up to completely) from a game due to conduct, but never indefinitely - at the very least without a complete and total refund of that player's money. And offenses cannot be gray areas. Threats of violence, for example, would be a zero-tolerance example of how a player could be outright banned and refunded their purchases. But disrespect should never be considered a bannable offense, especially considering that in society disrespect is sometimes endearing and a, perhaps poor, desire to help improve the overall player-base's ability to perform, or weed out those who refuse to improve. Thereby improving the efficacy of the matchmaking system and in turn reducing the degree of toxic behaviors in individual matches.

    Lastly, this genre of game, specifically. One that originated as a mod on another of Blizzard's games, Warcraft III, is riddled with toxicity. It always has been. And it is toxic players of this genre that ultimately lead to the genre becoming independent of the mod it originated on.

    Blizzard has in recent years become an absolutely terrible company and I caution anyone even talking about them as it simply gives them more publicity. The company is on it's way out for their abhorrent business practices and general disrespect of their player base and those of us who have been here since the very beginning.

    By all means make your own decisions, but take it from someone who has been playing blizzard games since the beginning, they have turned evil very quickly.    … Expand

    TL;DR - The game is fun, but unlocking heroes either requires an irrationally large chunk of time, or a few bucks. Not P2W, but definitely Pay-2-Progress.

    Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA by Blizzard/Activision that blends together properties of Blizzard's games such as WoW, Overwatch, Diablo, etc. into one universe and even adds a few new characters to the pool.

    The gameplay (aside from the novelty of Blizzard characters in a MOBA) is fairly fun. There are some balancing issues for sure, but it is essentially a watered down MOBA that's good fun for casual and serious players alike.

    The issues I have with this game, however, are with 2 major things that personally break a game.

    Poor matchmaking - Don't expect to get paired up with players equal to your skill level. In my first match, I was paired against players hundreds of levels higher than me. You will either get absolutely stomped, or carried by your team. If you're the type that gets really annoyed when you feel like you can't contribute, play a ton of AI matches first.

    Now for the reason this is a 3/10 for me. The gold and $RL system. Unlocking heroes in this game will cost anywhere from 2,000 - 10,000 in-game 'gold'. Gold is obtained by playing matches and leveling up heroes. I was getting an average of about 30-50 gold per match and after days of playing match after match, I finally reached 1,000 gold. After all of this, I am 10% of the way to purchasing Lucio (or any other 10k hero).

    Lets give a very generous estimate of 50 gold per match. To reach 10,000 gold you would need to play in 200 matches. Each match is about 20 minutes long on average.

    You would need to log 66 hours of actual in-game playtime to reach 10,000 gold. Even spread across the week, that's more than a full-time job. I would argue that maybe even 10% of that number is too high... But I'll let you decide that on your own.

    But don't worry, you can pay a few bucks and buy any hero you want and don't have to worry about the irrational grind. This is why I've rated this game a 3/10. We cannot keep allowing giant companies like Activision/Blizzard to essentially bar all progression if it doesn't give them a few bucks. I've seen this get worse and worse as time goes by and I've become less forgiving about it.    … Expand

The US player population is roughly arouund 100 players now. And I'm pretty sure I must have played with at least half of them. And I gotta say, I hate them all. HOTS does an extremely poor job of promoting communication and independent player value and roles as I spend the end of each matchup reporting one of my teammates because they intentionally played poorly, left, or insulted me or another teammate. Especially when it comes to those who don't see their own faults like I do.

    HOTS used to be full of thousands of players that were equally filled with those who were just as awful you could ignore them to being very helpful and patient. But ever since Blizzard pulled the plug on this game, simply because it was not financially and professionally suitable for them in the short term. The game now has stagnating updates, the Winter Toys event has been running from November up to March 19 as of writing this post. No new heroes or skins have come out. No major patches or updates have been implemented, nothing.

    While the game is the most thoroughly enjoyable MOBA experience I will ever have. I keep leaving it for months because of these issues, and because the player community is either too elitist or hostile to both other players and the developers. The game has a very good progression and questing system and getting gold is not that hard, and every single map and character does an amazing job of keeping the gameplay fresh despite years of playing this title. But again, because of the amount of verbal abuse and ways players can hurt their own teammates intentionally, on top of the development issues. This game is no longer the shining example it set out to be when 2.0 first launched. ANd until Blizzard finally decides to stop messing around and get it's act together, I do not recommend this title, or any of Blizzard's titles for the matter, to any players looking for a long term online video game.    … Expand

    - nice heores from Blizzard games

    Cons:
    - Matchmaking doesn't (read never) work. 90% of games is one sided.

    Sound-wise, the voices are great (when they learn to st*u. BLESS YOU, HEALER! BLESS YOU, HEALER! I've never been more deterred from healing.), the music is 50-50, and all the sound effects are satisfying.

    Plot. LUL.

    Also note this is a MOBA, so all that implies is here: OP hyper-expensive champs, cheap, sh**** champs, weeks of grinding to unlock one decent champ, new champ every other day to drain the wallets of neckbeards and kids with disposable income, garbage balancing, matchmaking pits a first time player with salty top 500 players, blah blah blah, its all here.

    In brief, Bliz shows off its trademark polish on all categories. Except gameplay and the usual MOBA business model tropes.

    The gamepl- (sorry, the rest of this review is DLC. You can read the rest for just $5.99!)

    *cha-ching*

    gameplay wants you to think there is wide variety of champs and styles and builds. There isn't. As with any other MOBA, the DPS tanks with mobility stomp anything in their path. Bliz's twist on this done-to-death genre is controlling a neutral boss/advantage (think Baron Nashor) for a team/morale crushing super power. Some of these powers can be bosses, bosses you can pilot, swarms of creeps, lasers that zap buildings, big variety of things. How do you unleash these pandora boxes? Mostly has to do with standing in a zone and controlling it for 30ish seconds. These 30s are the meat of HOTS' matches. Above any other strategy, build, champ choice, synergy; above all else, controlling these wins the game. So, just go fight for it, right? If only. See, another age-old problem is here.

    The (Episode 2 of this review is out now for only $9.99!)

    *cha-ching*

    community. Everyone's favorite collective of idiots is alive and well in HOTS. Bad champ choices, not playing tanks/healers, poor engages, chasing across the map into an ambush/turret death, no communication, sh**y connections, flaming, abusing the automated report system (more later), ignoring objectives, not grouping, poor target focus, gorging the enemy to death with their feeding then d/c, oh yeah! Apparently, it's somehow your fault if it happens a lot, according to threads and fanboys. So you go to claim the power. As expected, all 5 of the enemy is there. Looking at the map shows your teammates are either dead, or scattered everywhere. You can either a) rush in and die alone or b) wait for the inevitable. If your team DOES group for it, the opponent has a meat wall of 4-5 high dps, high mobility oafs ready to toss anyone into an event-horizon-blender of CC and DPS. Ofc, you can TRY to reason with your teammates, but they'll just report you. Of all the stupid ideas Bliz learned from Riot, they had to take the fully automated report system which punishes players - NOT BY VIOLATIONS - but by number of reports.

    Justice can't be democratic by it's nature, folks.

    So assuming any position of callouts, leadership, or polite disagreement can net you a THREE. MONTH. ACCOUNT SILENCE, preventing you from saying anything to anyone for 90+ DAYS. Meanwhile, the guy that called me stuff that I can't repeat here, NOTHING happens to him. Why? Did he not break any rules? No. "Not enough people reported him." Now everyone thinks I'm a jerk b/c I don't talk to them....uh....how do I tell them my account is silenced? Do I just wait for more reports of poor teamwork to pile up? Then what do I do? Bliz could care less. The cash is flowing and flowing. Fanboys beat back these legit concerns with "well dont be toxic then DUH!!" *high fives and Oh's all round*

    My last solace is to just have fun in unranked with a champ I like. Unless I crack open my wallet, I'd have to grind. It's about $10ish per hero, or you can save up 10,000 coins. At about 15 coin/25 min game, order some pizza and call in sick, bc u gonna b hur a while, and that's to get ONE. The novelty of each champ wears thin after 3 games, too. Sorry it's just...boring. There's no skill or room for mastery and improvement. You play dps tanks, m2 targets, and mash your 4 buttons. I thought LoL casualized MOBA. HOTS puts LoL to shame. Even LoL had a tiiiiny bit of mastery to it. If you're still curious, I'd say jump in quick, bc HOTS is dying FAST. The queues are taking forever. The last people playing are trolling the chat with politics or watching the pros with their kappa memes bc HOTS is bare-bones BORING.

    Bliz knows the game is dying. Begging people to play.

    Overpriced champs, dumba* community, sh* balancing, no farming/itemizing, and a garbage report system with a dying community. It would stop if morons would stop pouring cash into these practices.

    I would rate 8/10 if there was a real matchmaking. Unfortunately, it's based on Elo... When game devs will learn that sucks for team game ranking, it will be a good game.

    I changed my note from 2 to 0 since Blizzard seems to let pedophiles use their game to trade and never ban them.

    This game can be better. I love the IDEA behind some of their features but be prepared to be frustrated. QM fills like your drawing straws, and feels like it has gotten worst. I have seen a full solo Q of Specialist vs Assassins. How does that happen?? How is that fair? Ranked, you can easily pay for someone who wants to be a troll.

    Not the best MOBA out there, but a good game. The low rating is due to the fact that as with most Blizzard games the matchmaking is horrendous. The draft system is not good but at least its playable. The normal system leaves you fighting with a team that has no synergy or chance at victory at all.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

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

    Oversimplified, dumbed dota/lol for casuals. Same **** as their MtG (heartstone) or TF2 (Ovewatch). Blizzard therw away quality as they found that they get most money from casual players.

    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]
