And very little satisfaction is there to be had for most players who are looking for an achievement in this regard.

    A good ranking system will have most of these features. Players will win about 50% of the time. Games will feel generally balanced. BUT SKILL WILL CORRESPOND WITH RANK. fix it    … Expand

    I mostly play LoL and have tried other Mobas such as Smite and Dota, and I have to say this game is pretty fun. The big reason not to play it more is because it takes way to long to buy a new character and it cost alot of money to buy new heroes and skins. I would recommend this game to people new to Mobas or people who play casual in League and Dota.

    HOTS is the first serious attempt to make a casual, easy to learn LOMA/MOBA/ARTS/DOTA clone. It's an admirable goal, but I have to once again report that the amount of game space that is cut out is not worth the decreased learning curve.

    This is probably the only game in its genre I'd recommend to anyone besides DOTA, since unlike League/Smite/any of the other numerous clones, it's actually enough of a departure to be unique, instead of just being DOTA with worse balance, less experienced developers, and more pay walls.

    However, HOTS is still plagued by the worst parts of those games, most notably the pay walls. Unlike Smite and other games, there's no option to unlock all the heroes in one reasonably priced pack, so to gain access to the full roster you need to either grind out hundreds or probably thousands of games to buy them with the in-game currency, or spend hundreds of dollars to get them all with real money.

    Really I think any LOMA without a fully unlocked hero roster is doomed from conception. The business model only allows for two options: either people without the full roster are at a competitive disadvantage, or the roster is drastically less diverse than in DOTA.

    Put in the extra time and effort to learn DOTA and you will be rewarded with a truly balanced and endlessly deep game that you can learn and improve at all your life. Stick with HOTS and you'll be stuck in the kiddie pool -- not because this is a marginally easier game to play, but because the design decisions made by the developers necessarily limit your creativity as a player.    … Expand

There's just no compulsion to continue playing game after game like many other MOBA titles, because the game is so simplistic and predictable. The infinite permutations of items, builds, meta strategy, is nonexistent in Heroes. Yes, I know Blizzard insists it has transcended the genre of MOBA and is a "hero brawler" but a FPS game that insists it is an "Enemy Blaster" is still an FPS and should be compared as such.

    In addition the game is lacking basic features and the performance and netcode is incredibly poor and simply not up to the standard of the polished MOBA games on the market today, as a result of using an ancient SC2 engine with no multithreading that has always had poor netcode.

    And that's all failing to mention to horrible cash shop implementation and the prohibitive price of the limited hero pool as it is. This game is simply yet another cash grab by Blizzard to support the falling subscriptions of WoW    … Expand

    The matchmaking is complete bogus.

    So there you have it Blizzard, this games is bad, and the only reason it even gets good reviews is because it's a Blizzard game and have WoW characters in it. And because the majority of people giving good reviews to this game was a first time player on MOBA type games and don't have experience with actual MOBA games to compare with.

    I really wish they had listened to the player base when this game was in closed beta.

    I played LoL casually so I can't compare these on a hardcore level, but I like both of them. Heroes also has a good business model that allows you access to lots of heroes without spending any or much $. I honestly don't like all the game modes and just prefer the standard summoner's rift type push, but that's just me. I like it, I mean I'm just not blown away.

    This MOBA is fun to play, each hero is unique and there are a lot of maps. It has nice graphics and the fact that you can not buy items is not important, because this game has other great assets. On the other hand, the game is imbalanced and poorly optimized, also the ranked system could be better. In overall HOTS is solid MOBA game, but Dota 2 and LoL are still unchallenged kings of this genre.

    Then as I kept playing more solo and less with friends in a team, I just had to admit, that the games unique system, that i first praised and what makes this game unique, is the worst thing ever. By sharing all exp and basically with that your aka items/strength. You just NEVER have the chance to turn around a game with 4 casual teammates against 5 good enemy players. There were times when I was MVP, had both top damage, top heal, top exp earned, did most objectives as well and still lost.
    The reason? Simple. Lets take League of Legends for reference.
    You have 1 pro (S=5), and 4 casual (D=1) in TEAM1, and 5 average gold players (A-B=2-3) players in TEAM2. The pro will most likely carry the game.
    Here: the enemy team will most likely win. Why? BECAUSE everything is shared, TEAM1 with a total of 5+4*1=9 points < vs 5*2-3 =10-15 point. To put THIS into perspective, TEAM2 will have ults and even lv13 talents, while TEAM1 wont even have ults.
    This is just an example to give you an idea what I mean.

    Before 2.0 it was a solid 8-9/10, now its like a 4-5. Love the blizzard universe, but objectively it seems the game has already stopped development. Nothing happened for a long time since deathwing came in. Not so long ago they introduced Mei (tba).
    There is a FIX meta, where a selected 10 or so few heroes are a must pick/ban, the rest are only for fun or none existent.

    When was the last time you seen a gazlove? Who needs Specialists (old role)? How much Ranked you played were there was none of these picked and/or banned: Xul, Li-ming, Kael Tas, Deathwing, Mephisto, Tycus, Malthael, Garros, Diablo (exclude Mei, but a possibility)

    The game is playable, mostly for fun only, but can't be taken seriously anymore. Feels bad, I really wanted it to be better, to be good, to be the League killer...

    For those who are not familiar or very casual playing MOBA games, I can very much recommend this game as your introduction to MOBA-s. Since everything is shared, you will feel being as good as your teammates, and they will uplift you. Its easy to learn, and not so (/as) hard to master. It's the perfect stepping stone (sadly).

    For those with more experience, and to play seriously, competitive, NOT RECOMMEND it! (With friends only/premade maybe)

    Contrary to what most might think, you can carry pretty hard in this game if you choose the right hero, have enough map knowledge and your teammates aren't intentionally throwing the game. A downside is that some maps are much harder to comeback from a bad early game than others, but it depends much in the draft.

    Every role of your team composition is meaningful. Carrying a game as a healer is one of the most satisfying feelings in gaming history. The pacing of the team fights is one the best qualities of the game. The games last about 20 minutes which is more practical than other mobas.

    The main flaws are:
    -The developers keep making unnecessary reworks for heroes;
    -Quick match is absolutely unplayable because of how random team comps get;
    -Player base is kind of small, so it takes too long to search for draft games;
    -If you're a new player, buying new heroes takes forever.

    After all this time, I'm still addicted to the feeling of making plays in this game. That being said I'm retired from it until the number of players gets significantly bigger, because, right now, I spend more time queuing and drafting than actually playing, which makes losses much more stressful.    … Expand

    This really is like a version of LOL or DOTA for kids though. It's much more forgiving given that there are many ways to regenerate life and the skills have fairly quick cooldowns for the most part, making a misfire unlikely to be a terminal mistake. Unfortunately, this also comes with the drawback that your characters don't ever really feel as unique to you as they do in other MOBAs. The talents really add very little to how the character ultimately plays and a lack of items means they will only ever fit a very specific role on the team.

    That said, there is a very nice variety to the skills the characters possess and they do give them a lot of unique feel between them. This ultimately makes for a nice variety of play styles that you can switch easily between.

    A big plus is the fact that, so far, the community is also much less toxic than other MOBAs. Maybe this is just because the game is still young, but typically your team remains silent just using pings rather than berating everyone on the team for bringing them down.

    TLDR: A fun game with good potential if they can keep it up, but it won't unseat the existing giants, much like nothing could ever unseat WOW as the prime MMO.    … Expand

    Played it since Alpha. It's a fun little MOBA and it has the AAA quality you would expect from a Blizzard game.

I have to tip my hat to Blizz for managing to create all those ICONS from DIABLO, SC and WOW and mangage to keep the feeling that you are actually controlling that hero you loved from previous blizz games and at the same time keep it balanced.

    Graphicly speaking, it's a probably one of the best looking MOBA's out there.

    That being, said... I do have a few problems with the games.

    The different game maps for one thing. The idea of a lot of map objectives is nice and it does make the game more dynamic and direct-to-action oriented than most MOBA's, but at the same time... It does make the game less strategic and competive. For now, HOTS simply does not have any Metagame with clear defining positions and roles to assume. It's one big mess where you need to keep roaming all over the place.

    It certainly is fun, but if you looking for high end strategy with everyone assuming a specific role and position, than you are going to be disappointed.

    This is a the perfect MOBA to play for pure fun. But I really don't see HOTS being the next big competitive E-sport of this generation. The maps and overall game mechanics simply don't encourage you to fill a specific role and position in a match...

    The shared XP and stats is a good idea on paper but it also creates a problem : You start not paying attention to your personal perfomances within the team. Sure, people are less likely to be toxic to you now. But at the same time, you don't have to worry about improving your own perfomances anymore. In LOL if you farm 80 creeps and the opposite lane farms 120 of them, you know that you are doing something wrong. Having clear stats showing when you rock or when you suck is important because that's will allow you to measure your progress. HOTS has no such feature and therefor does not encourage you to improve/correct yourself.

    If you take LOL for exemple, you know that :

    1) You need TOP : TANK/bruiser; Mid : MAGE/ASSASSIN/AP CARRY, BOTTOM : SUPPORT+AD CARRY, JUNGLE.

    2) One balanced map, that has 3 clear games phases.

    3) LOL allows more chances of a "come back" than HOTS. In LOL, because XP isn't shared for the most part. One carry can turn around a whole match. In HOTS, if your team is underperfoming and everyone will underleveled to the enemy team. Meaning that if enemy gains 2-3 levels over your team, you have very little chances to win a 5 vs 5 exchange. Not saying that they are no chances of a come back in HOTS, but most of time, if your team slacks of ... Than you are doomed to suffer the consequences of their mistakes. This is really frustrating, as in LOL... I know that If i am 3 levels behind than it's my fault and I don't punish my team too much for it. In Heroes, 2 bad team mates can drag your own perfomances down... And you have to deal with the consequences of their failures.

    4) In LOL, you have a lot of strategy and despite what the HOTS fanboys will tell you, LOL actually require a LOT MORE TEAMPLAY. In LoL, the wining team, is the team with the jungler that will assist a lane. The wining team will be the one with the support assisting his carry, the wining team will be the one that will think about buy a ward rather than keeping all the gold for himself. HOTS takes you by the end by sharing XP between the team, but that doesn't mean that it encourages people to be team players. Quiet the opposite actually.

    All and all. It's a fun MOBA and well polished. It's free so why not try it out outleast? It's definitly very fun and I will be playing it a lot. However, when it comes to the competitive aspect... I'll definitly stick to LOL and DOTA II.

    If anything, it's a good gateway for your friends who don't know how to play MOBA's to get into it.    … Expand

    HoTS is decent. I've played through several games, and I am left pretty unimpressed. I liked the idea of sharing xp among the team to prevent people from being selfish, but that's about where the good diffferences from other MOBAs end for me. The rest is just oversimplified to the point where it takes a lot of the thought and skill out of playing.

As long as you play in a single player it's fine, yes, visuals look 10 years old, but at least it plays smoothly even on lower rigs. The problem starts when you try to play this game online, which is ironically supposed to be it's main draw. You get frequent lag, stuttering and right during my very first game - BSOD. Not just a crash to desktop, but good old Blue Screen Of Death! Last time this happened to me was sometime in the 90's and it's a shame Blizzard put something like this out, considering most of their games in the past were pretty stable. Tried playing some other matches and it's like weather, sometimes it plays well, other times it won't even load, gets stuck on loading screen, logging in and out and other problems and glitches. One time my heroes didn't load so I couldn't start new matches. Even menus and game UI don't scale properly to your used resolutions. The state of this game right now is pretty disappointing and I'm tired of developers releasing these buggy and of non-functional products. Other than that, the game itself can be fun at first, but it gets quite repetitive very quickly, there is not much strategy involved, no story whatsoever and the gameplay is not exactly fluid either. The potential is definitely there, I really like the huge selection of different heroes with various unique abilities, so just trying them out can be fun. Another problem is that it's heavily team based, so if you get bad team you're out of luck, because you can't do that much on your own. Most matches are decided in first 5 mins, because once your team starts to loose, everyone in your team is usually logging out, giving up and you're just there to wait for defeat for another 10 mins, not fun at all. Thankfully it's a free game, so there is no loss in trying it out for yourself, but I would advise to wait a while until Blizzard patches everything up and the game gets more stable. 5/10… Expand

    HotS takes out so much of the negative from League of Legends and Smite. The ability to feed, snowball, taunt, talk, report, etc... It takes out the tribunal and reporting power that while a terrific idea, humanity is to immature ofr that power even in a game.

    Without items and gold, players cannot snowball so often. Granted the enemy team can get a head and really cause trouble.

    It's good but not great. They sacrificed complexity in favor of being more accessible and lost a lot in the transition. It's like buying a very high end sports car in automatic. It's fun to drive but just feels wrong.

I think the game has a GREAT future if blizzard decides to update it and keep it growing but at its current state it is pretty stale outside the one patch every 1-2 months they release.

    The main thing that I have to knock this game for though vs the other many moba's i enjoy is that there is no real sense of being able to "carry" - As much as moba's are a team game i enjoy the aspect of locking in a hero or champion and knowing if I get ahead then I can carry my team through the team fights if I play well enough. In heroes if I get stuck with a troll or someone who refuses to help the team well then the game is almost for sure a lose because its SOOOOO team focused that there is no chance of picking up a troll's slack.

    Overall I say the game is fun but grows stale and there is a lot of room from growth that blizzard could make this a great game but I see it going the routes of hearthstone where it will just fade off after awhile.    … Expand

    -Activision's Greed is present in this game more than ever, more than Destiny, WoW, CoD, or whatever othe tittle. Every hero, skin or mount in this game costs 10 usd, bundles who are presented regularly go for 40 usd. Unlocking heroes in this game is painfully because of slow gold gain.
    -The matchmaking in the game is absolutely BAD. When I started playing the game I did mostly vs AI games and some VS and it felt ok. But now the matchmaking is full of mirror games filled with "unconventional" heroes that make each one of those games sooooo frustrating.
    -The competitive mode has stayed in "PreSeason" for more than a year since it's "official" release, it's like 2 years of preseason most likely, and you know why?? because the matchmaking is so terrible, that it punishes playes to such low mmr ratings and because of how the game is designed getting out of there is impossible, which makes people create new accounts and spend more money to take advantage of the "exploit" of duo queueing using a fake MMR account to boost another account to the highest rank. This is greedy and unacceptable from Activision.
    -The game is full of illuminati references on maps, art, etc. Yes Illuminati
    -They have been releasing heroes that are either severely overtuned or undertuned, they just cannot find the middle ground. It is absolutely terrible.

    I had pretty high hopes for this game starting out, and while I've played it regularly for about a year and a half now, I must say it hasn't lived up to expectations. First, while I really enjoy the vs AI matchmaking of the game, and can congratulate them on a fairly regular stream of heroes being released, it unfortunate that they overlook several big aspects of the game.

First, while I really enjoy the vs AI matchmaking of the game, and can congratulate them on a fairly regular stream of heroes being released, it unfortunate that they overlook several big aspects of the game.

    First, they treat most of their loyal players like **** They regularly give away heroes that people paid real money for for free during promotions. While it absolutely makes sense to soften the burden of new players into a constantly evolving games, giving away heroes that are month or so old for free is basically a big middle finger to active players.

    Second, things like this that dissuade regular players from sticking around often leads to a bigger problem of insanely long queue times. Playing ranked frequently requires queue times near 5-7 minutes, which is rediculous, because half the time you actually join a game the gap between MMR rating is pretty huge. 1 Diamond, 2 gold, a silver, and a bronze or so.... If they're doing that, then why did I wait so long?? Just throw me into the first 5 people that queue, right? -.-

    Third, I would argue that this game is less toxic than League of Legends. That's pretty important, since LoL is pretty terrible in that regard. It is nice to have a play system where an accidental death isn't the end of keeping up. On the otherhand, the player base is maybe only minorly better, and most toxicity tends to dwell near ranked like most games, which takes forever to join games in.

    Fourth, and finally, the skins in this game are huge missed opportunity. The design team and the production managers are honestly just really weird. They sign off on weird skin designs regularly. Everyones style and appeal is different. There is surely some you'd love. But even on the ones that are good and appealing to you, they end up choosing just the ugliest alternate colors; All solid green, all red, no darker tones and weird designs kind of ruin it. The best ones tend to be the Master skins that are available for in-game currency only and have high level requirements. It's nice, but begs the question of why. If they had any sense, they'd just tap into Blizzard's trove of original game gear sets, designs and themes and double their skin inventory just based off that.

    All in all, its a fun game if you're a bored Blizzard fan. Otherwise, it's just a strange MOBA that fails to live up to its potential and doesn't treat their loyal players well. I'd avoid it if you haven't already.    … Expand

Aside from fanboys that will defend anything about this game, everyone would like the option to quit when you know within 5 minutes that the teams are absolutely rigged either because some players are terrible (or purposefully throwing the game) or because the game decided to give one team a ridiculously stupid composition compared to the other. So when one person leaves and another sits in spawn dancing you can either waste your processor doing it with them or you can go fight and lose for 15-25 minutes, all because they don't want to bother figuring out a way to quit. Or you can leave and get all the penalties they impose. And in this game, if one person is bad, they easily drag the whole team down very quickly just due to the way it plays.

    The worst part of the busted matchmaking is that the game will put a full pre-made team- i.e. 5 people who have chosen their heroes to compliment each other and are likely on voice chat- against teams made up of randoms or just 2-3 people on a team. This is almost always a frustrating waste of time and should never happen. Any team with 5 people should be matched against other 5 teams or, at least, 4.

    There are many heroes, so many that unless you play this game every day you will probably end up completely lost as to who does what because heroes get changed all the time and there are simply too many to keep track of- again, unless you play this game religiously.

    The good news is: it's free. As long as you don't care about cosmetics you will quickly get enough heroes that you'll be okay, even though it will take some time to earn all of them via the game's currency.

    The bad news is: it feels like a waste of time because I rarely had any actual fun.    … Expand

    I will not talk about well known & accepted differences from other MOBAs, like less grinding, walking, soloing & more action, I'd like to talk about a couple of questionable mechanics choices: 1) Replacing items with talents 2) Replacing individual hero levels with team levels.

    Replacing items with talents seems like a good thing in general, cause talents allow for really interesting and individual choices and make game much easier to balance. Also nobody is forcing you to get certain standard, best builds like in other MOBAs. Generally it allows for better variety of choices than items.

    But there is a huge drawback here: lack of personal exp & money takes away sense of individual achievement from killing enemies, denying kills/exp. In other MOBAs you level up and buy items, using your personal cash that you get from making plays. When I get to choose a talent in HOTS I feel as if I got it for free, just cause the time has come. And though you have your personal talents, they are always on the same level as your teammates and often as your enemies.
    Also in other MOBAs everyone can see the result of your efforts clearly (when you are fed for example:), in HOTS often you can't even see it yourself (when you get nothing for killing enemy).

    I think Blizzard didn't realize just how important items & levels are for sense of achievement, satisfaction. People play MOBAs cause they want to have opportunity to be better than others, to get cool staff, people want for remaining 9 players on the map to see how strong they are! No such opportunities in HotS - you are just like everyone else here.

    If similar system were implemented in LoL (for example), it would look like this: everyone gets 4000g in 10, 20, 30 min marks, and no individual gold/exp for kills and farming. That would just kill the game instantly!

    Concerning HOTS's replayability:
    HOTS does leave good impression on it's replayability eary on, bu i think that's largely due to having different maps (7 total). After I got used to differences between maps, games started to get less fun. May be it's cause I don't get that sense of achievement from it's matches as from other MOBAs, and cause I don't get that desire to correct past mistakes and outplay enemies each game in HOTS. Not only individual play matter less in HOTS, actually whole eary-mid game doesn't affect end result much!

    Concerning HOTS being free to play: You will NOT be able to get many heroes without using real money.

    Good game overall, I'm thankful to Blizzard that it showed different direction for MOBAs.

    No proper leaderboards, no proper matchmaking, rank 1 is meaningless due its not used for anything (matches are matched based on hidden mmr) and at rank 1 player cannot stay without having 60-70% win rate which is only achieved in 4-5 man party. And if player wishes they can try their luck at rank 1 as solo players like i've done. Be rdy to drop down and climb back due game is forcing 50% winrate to all players (unless using party of 4-5 players) so player cannot stay and gain cap of points at rank 1.

Each of them has different optional Quests which can help the team to gain advantage, to finally destroy the enemy base. It is indeed something new in this genre filled with more interactive neutral camps, Mounts and more customizable abilities. Furthermore this game is very beginner friendly and so easy to learn, which helps new players to adapt much easier and faster in this game. That means no items where new players get easily confused with, no lasthits which takes a lot of time to master and no gold to prevent overfeeding which happens in others MOBA games pretty often.
    Everything in this game is set to motivate players to work as a team. For example there is no individual leveling in this game, every team member share the same level. This is the main strength of HotS, a more emphasized teamplay and even more interactive maps. But the main strength is also the main weakness of this game. An outstanding individual player will never prevail nor ever change the pace of a match since everything is linked through the team level. Moreover this game has no in-game depth whatsoever, it is easy to learn and easy to master. And since there is no lasthits, means that everything lies in stupid autohits and ability spamming just to push lanes. The team who pushes more, gets more experience and the one who grinds more experience wins the game.
    Apart from its fancy mash up of the Blizzard universe and some extra bonuses, this game is nothing more than dazzling gamers about some minor features and strip Blizzard fanboys from their money. The final and the most disappointing fact is the endless grinding. Whether it's to buy heroes or to get to the top ladder of ranked Matches. No skills are needed here, just time, luck or an insane amount of money.

    Myself and two family members got to test during BETA. As it is Blizardized, it is the simplified version of LOL and DOTA 2. With all the fluffy stuff that makes Blizzard so appealing to the masses. Which was perfect for my family as we were new to MOBA's. The game was fun at first, but there weren't enough players of each category to make evenly skilled matches. So if your a casual and you end up against a semi-pro or pro you get destroyed. Which ruins it for casuals. And makes the better players bored. HOTS has several maps. Daily quests to open characters and to open up ranked play. HOTS also has far fewer characters than say DOTA 2. Which should be very appealing to those new to MOBA's. But could seem like a grind or boring to more seasoned MOBA fans.

    Ultimately the level of competition will decide if this game becomes bigger than LOL. Blizzard can throw big bucks at tournaments and make pro teams legends. If the LOL and DOTA 2 pro's don't fill the void, there is a huge opportunity for semi pro or lower ranked pro teams to dominate the scene here and make the big money in tournaments and from sponsorships. With Blizzard's notoriety and casual approach, HOTs could just be the game that makes E-sports explode on the scene in the west. Blizzard was a late comer who ended up dominating MMO's. They are hoping lightning will strike twice and they will dominate MOBA's. Only time will tell if that happens. But at this point LOL is the giant purple gorilla in the room.

I have played Heroes ever since it was in closed beta and saw it grow into a game that I believe has the potential to rival other MOBAs simply because Blizzard is behind it (meaning it is beautifully crafted and well thought out). Also it is awesome to see all the lore from past Blizzard masterpieces all compiled nicely in one universe.

    Being a long time League of Legends player, the thing I most missed about Heroes is the lack of items or any rich in game customization system. While this makes it very easy to pick up with choosing different customizations rather than learning ~100 items, it makes the game get pretty dull after playing a few hundred games. I ground out a bunch of games when the ranked system as first released and made it pretty far in a short amount of time because it seems really easy to win games with certain characters or simple strategies.

    In all, I would certainly recommend Heroes to friends to try out since it is a helluva lot of fun but I certainly wouldn't play it on a very consistent basis and risk getting bored of the limited customization and repetitive game play.

    Besides that, the game isnt that great.The game never looks awesome but i cant run it properly on my(older) PC while other, better looking games run just fine.This is a weird and sometimes the game is so demanding that is laggs like hell.

    I encountered many bugs along the way too.20 minutes prior to the review im writing right now i had a game with the AI.The AI broke completely, never moved.I had to play alone, died 30 times maybe because hey, i was alone against a complete team.I had other issues with bugs, the mostly the AI.

    The game is really unbalanced.Sometimes i think blizzard never tested the things they do.No long ago the released Leoric.Kinda broken this is hero, now they made some changes with the latest patch....and hes still a bit overpowered.Youll see him in most pro-lineups for a good reason.Same with one of the newer maps.For example the map with the punishers.They rebalanced some things because if you were behind on that map it was nearly over.The punishers wer too strong.After the patch i never played the map, so i dont know if they succesfully changed it now but again, who tested this ****

    In the end i think this is a mediocre game that many people play because they are not good enough for the other mobas.I dont mean that as an offence.Im not made for this genre too but Heroes is simple enough for me so i dont mind.But its kinda shallow i think in many aspects.The community is still very toxic despite the fact that it is very likely that youll play in quickmateched with a team that is not that great because like i said, they are not good enough for the other mobas.I recommend this game to that target audience or when you are total new in the genre.I think you can learn a lot by playing Heroes.But as a product i think its mediocre and a solid 6.    … Expand

    I've been playing this game since January 2015 and it's still far from being finished.

    I have over 2000 games played and I'm still being matched with absolutely clueless people who have 100-200 games total and are unranked (still doing their 20 placement matches, which is actually some **** thing introduced to trick people into thinking devs are improving something, fun fact - some people are placed at the lowest rank 50 after their placement matches where they went 15 wins 5 losses or similar - since it's not possible to drop rank below 40 it means they played 20 games for nothing).

    Servers are unstable and you are guaranteed to have lagging/disconnecting people in most of games, sometimes whole team gets dropped, sometimes you get strange freezes and you have to quit the game and rejoin.

    Devs pretend they know about the issues and are working on it, but the only stuff we get are some skins and reskinned horse for 10€.

    TL;DR
    You will enjoy the game if you're new to MOBA and like Blizzard games in general, but once you learn the game basics and get better you will realize how uncompetitive and unfinished this game is.
    Also prices are too high.

Taking it at face value, you have a MOBA with recognizable Blizzard characters; when I heard of this my hype was at an 11. Unfortunately this falls flat of my expectations.

    ++ Has a wide roster with some interesting character playstyles. Even without purchasing any characters and only using free rotation, you shouldn't be bored with the selection.
    -- That being said, characters are expensive to purchase with in-game currency, and the cost with real money is downright absurd. At a rate of $0.99 per 1,000 gold, with 1/3 of the champions costing 10,000 gold, you're looking at $10 per decent character. So effectively, just a small handful of characters once you've depleted your "early" bonuses (aka playing for an entire day or two straight).
    -- Which, unfortunately, is dull after a while. Each map gives you different objectives, but they generally all feel the same. Go here, kill this, go here, your team gets an advantage for a little while. Every map feels very similar.
    ++ To their credit, however, the maps are pretty. So that's something.
    ++ And to the character selection's credit (and cost), at the very least they give you the option to test a character before you buy it, in a reasonable single-player practice environment with a single lane, minions, an enemy Arthas, and an ally Malfurion to back you up, as well as control over level and lanes.
    -- There is an unfortunate lack of complexity in character leveling, but enough to make one character using the same hero at least *slightly* different from the next.
    ++ And on the plus side, at least it's easy to unlock the masteries for a given character. 2-3 matches seems to be enough.

    There's not a whole lot else to say about the game. It's briefly fun, but gets stale fast--maybe I'm jaded. But I think this is where I have the biggest issue, coming more from a fan of these series than an unbiased gamer. It just doesn't feel like they've been done justice. I get the idea behind making everyone level at the same time, but it doesn't solve the problem of "if one person on your team sucks, your whole team sucks." In fact it makes it worse. With individual leveling, a good carry can compensate a poor player. Now that poor player drags the whole team down.

    Not to mention, when I'm doing really well individually, I want it to be known, and I want to tear that battlefield up. When I heard this was going to be a possibility, I imagined strolling in with Kerrigan, rocking a lane, shutting someone down and FORTHESWARM-ing all over the place, cackling maniacally while blasting muh gaming tunes at max volume. Now I'm held back because someone else on my team is feeding but I'm nailing every skillshot? Not a fan of that. In reality the homogenized experience pool makes individual players doing bad even worse.

    "Homogenized" is probably the best word I can use to describe it overall. But it's not bad, for what it is. I may pick it up when I'm bored or a neat new hero comes out I wanna look at, but this just doesn't have revive that spark that had me playing LoL for so long. In fact, as someone who hasn't played LoL for a couple years, this game actually made me want to play LoL again.    … Expand

    The Bad: Most of the heroes kits are very uninspired. Low skill floors, low skill ceilings. There are 3 or 4 VERY unique heroes, and then most who are just so bland and easy. Between thematics and kit, it's been hard for me to find more than a few heroes I enjoy playing. Kills aren't very rewarding, so doing well doesn't feel good. It's a little TOO important to do the objectives. My biggest complaint is shared experience. There is a diminishing return on experience in every game. Each level takes more and more to level. Well in this game, you'll never have easy to kill squishy underfed targets to gain experience off of when you are behind, because instead of one crazy fed character on the enemy team, their whole team will be slightly ahead. This makes comebacks MUCH more difficult than any other moba I've played. The only way to win against a winning team is for them to throw, and not for you to play well. It's frustrating for the carry roles (ranged ADC) to not be able to get a real edge on assassins as well.

    There is no customization of characters because there is no gold because there is no farming. When I first started playing Dota and LoL, I hated last hitting. I thought it was the most stupid mechanic in a game. Now that I've played them for years, I see why you need it. To replace the item system, there's a talent system. The talents are boring, add very little to the gameplay, and based on their team, are preset as to what you must get to be effective in your role.

    The Ugly: This games graphics are bad. VERY behind in the genre. Between LoL's recent visual upgrade, and Dota 2s stunning effects, Heroes looks like a pixelated WC3 with slightly better models. The default mount is a horse, which EVERY rides. Giant Demons, Jim Raynor (space cowboy) and monstrous creatures of all sorts who look incredibly out of place. They should remove mounts from the game. I'm not really sure what the point of them is. Just give a run when not in combat effect and call it good. Stitches looks retarded up there on his horse.

    Overall, it has potential. It could be very big with some changes. The most off-putting things for me though, are gameplay design choices they have, so it really just isn't the game for me. Warcraft 3 is currently the last game of Blizzards that I'm still playing and I hope they can start releasing higher quality games soon. I mistakenly had high hopes. Blizzard didn't let me down, I expected too much.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. THIS IS A LONG REVIEW, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

    To start off let me say that I have a lot of experience playing moba's; over 2000 games on league and several hundred on both dota and Hots. With that being said, I can honestly say Blizzard did not do too bad with this game. I will try to give an honest list of both pros and cons, as well as some moot points, and I'll try to be fair.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Pros
    -For the Blizzard lore fans out there, this game includes several of the iconic people throughout most of Blizzard's franchises.
    -Gameplay is more accepting of new to the genre players, meaning its a lot easier to get into this game than dota or lol
    -So far there has been pretty consistent patching and releases to keep the game from getting too stale
    -The game is somewhat fair, I mean unless you are playing against the top echelon of hero league(10 or lower) there is a super defined meta, so that you don't HAVE to play the FotM hero.
    -it is ftp so ever if you don''t enjoy the game too much you can see it as nothing ventured
    -hero progression in the game is a tad bit more rewarding, in which you can attain different hero colorations (similar to league's chroma packs , compared to the newly added champion mastery in LoL
    -gameplay is a little more action packed than the other two mobas, in that action is more constant in heroes, whereas in both dota and LoL the action is a little more explosive
    -with minion deaths awarding only exp as well as the absence of items in the game, you are not constricted to farm your lane for some 15-20+ mins until the "mid game"
    -game is more objective based, which can allow for some miraculous comebacks, even when severely down in both kills and exp
    -there are some innovative gameplay, relating to some specific hero's, namely abathur and the lost vikings (for the dota fans reading this, the lost vikings play out somewhat similar to meepo)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Cons
    -dear god the reconnect systems sucks...very, very, VERY badly
    -hero league matchmaking is very imbalanced; the ranks are not separate enough and progression occurs much too quickly to allow for evenly matched game, resulting in most games becoming complete stomps
    -regular quick match formation of teams can be a bit rng at times(iv'e had games of 4 assassins and a support against 3 warriors, a specialist, and a support) which results in some very frustrating games
    -being that the game is more objective based, the lack of "currency" in the game and shared experience, the ability to solo-carry games is just not there
    -(i was very, very disappointed with this) hero master skins are stated as being unlockable by progression, and is a way to show that you truly have played that hero a lot, yet it costs as much as the newer champions(10,000 gold, which is nothing to laugh at) and that can cut back on unlocking new, fun heros
    -until you reach level 20, you have to level up a champion simply to use some of its talents and abilities, which is not something a pumped up person wants to do when they just bought their favorite hero
    -some maps are just downright frustrating ( haunted mines, i'm looking at you)
    -the community is pretty polarized due to the mixing of players from league and dota with the casual blizzard fans, which causes some very hostile games
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Now for some moot points, and just some of my opinions.
    -This game can be very unwelcoming to hardcore players because the sustained gold income to buy new champions is very inconsistent, basically the quests are nice, just not for people who play 4-5+ games a day
    -there needs to be median game mode that is targeted more towards the hardcore community; something that isn't "Ranked" simply for us to pass the time, and it would maybe split up the two communities because lets be honest, getting into the games with new-to-moba players can be a bit frustrating
    -tbh some champions do feel a bit stale and clunky, such as -> sonya, lich king, elite tauren chieftain...etc
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Overall its a decent game. For the casual moba players, as well as new-to-moba players this is definitely a great game for you. For the more hardcore players, this game, imo, is more of a pallet-cleanser; but it has the propensity to be a great game.    … Expand

    So basically, t's definetely better than traditional MOBA's, because of all the good new aditions it has to the poor genre, however I feel Blizzard could've done this sooo much better and it feels they're really lazy, really money grabbing and they don't care enough about player's needs and what they can do to make the game better, the matchmaking just makes you want to uninstall this game after a few ranked games, as fun as it might seem at the beginning.    … Expand

And it should be noted a complete failure with unique content and monetization. The feeling that the developer initially took on the role of an outsider without investing money.… Expand

    The game is fine, but is so simple and is hard to find a party to play. The game is dead now.

    The only moba game on the market that I really enjoyed. I liked the familiar heroes and their catchphrases. Unfortunately, the matchmaking is the worst. QM is practically unplayable for some heroes and pretty unfair in team composition. Ranked play was the biggest problem what ruined this game. If one played with 5 friends you could win 90% games in a row. If you played alone it was anThe only moba game on the market that I really enjoyed. I liked the familiar heroes and their catchphrases.

    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]
