    It's really a disappointment that Blizzard sort of placed Heroes of the Storm on the back burner. The concept behind it was truly fantastic, bringing together these beloved characters from the Blizzard universe. Sadly, it seems that the game doesn't rake in the profits for Blizzard quite like Diablo Immortal does, which is why it's no longer receiving updates.

    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

    This definitely was the best MOBA. But sadly they canceled the game. My biggest hope in gaming would be that Blizzard is focusing on this game again, and maybe even a console version.

    But rating the game, how it was back in 2015-2016. Then it was Legend and a clear 10/10. I love that the game is focusing on Team play, so all the team members have shared XP pools.

    Edit: while playing unranked our tead did not know what to pick and therefore we were knocked out of the picking phase back to menu and got banned for 1 game from unranked/ranked - had to win 1 game of QM, but after 2 matches of **** quick match provides, we uninstalled. Nova/deathwing/genji/tracer every game. Why can't heroes like this just be deleted? **** all of you guys who main these heroes

    On the other hand, quick match was and still is the biggest flaw of the game where you get idiotic compositions. You either stomp or get stomped. Sounds like fun, eh? Yet I am not suprised because most of players want to carry and play assassins. Nobody cares about a good team comp on QM. Reconnecting system is bad too. If you lost connection, you may just wait until the match is over because you will not rejoin in time. Ranked is far from ideal too, people are clueless about positioning or draft, even in diamond/master. Trollpicks such as nova/gazlowe/murky are a common thing    … 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.

    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

    YEARS passed since launch, matchmaking suck as bad as when it launched, TERRIBLE matchmaking, both in characters on your team and versus, and players levels. 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. I kid you not, if i play in a closed team with my friends, we win 9,5/10 times, but in random, is a downright fustercluck of terrible players, trolls, racists, xenophobes, mysoginists etc.

    Speaking of which, i had one account BANNED from this game, a while back, for speaking against FASCISM and RACISM, and refusing to play with the said racist player. So much for the CEO "we want to be better" mambojambo after the Hong Kong negative repercussions.

    What saddens me most, is that this company was my hands-down favorite, game-wise. Now, i am disgusted to see or touch anything they do, even if for free.    … Expand

    This is a very unique case. When it came out, during beta testing it seemed so new, so fresh, and so much fun. It was until about they brought in the 2.0 system with loot boxes major **** balance changes and whatnot...

    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)

    - Non-intrusive paid content.

    What's bad:
    - 90% of lootboxes content is absolutely useless. There is no point in having 300+ profile icons since they're cheap to craft and can't be used simultaneously. Sprays? Same here. Yet, 1-3 sprays + 1-3 icons + 0 other iems from a lootbox is a common sight.
    - Playerbase is dwindling. So, longer time to reach the battle and...
    - ... permanent balancer hiccups. Just don't expect intense balanced action. It's you or them. No exceptions.

    What's neutral:
    - Plot: exists.
    - Events: numerous but rarely useful.
    - The developers started experimenting with gameplay recently, adding some spice into a bit stale dish.

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

    I didnt play in Lol, so particulary i will compare Hots with Dota 2.
    When i first saw its graphics, i was surprised it looked very cool and for me, the graphics still better than graphics in dota/lol. I read many old negative reviews and people say that you need to donate if you want to play ranked or buy new heroes.Its a lie, i could    I play this game since 2016 and that is my review.

    I read many old negative reviews and people say that you need to donate if you want to play ranked or buy new heroes.Its a lie, i could play ranked in a month and have never donated till now, i can play many heroes because i have bought more than half of them, plus you can play some heroes every week without paying for that.Ofc you can donate and unlock ranked in a week, but what do you want?Get lower rank because you played not so much and you are bad player?

    What about heroes?In my opinion, we have only 4-5 op heroes, oh you think someone can take them?Every team has 2 ban at the beginning and 1 ban for each team in the middle of preparation.So you can ban op heroes and also some heroes that can beat your pick.If you want to win, make a good pick, i dont see disbalance here.In that case, its similar with Dota.
    Every hero has his abilities and talents.Someone said that abilities are similar, i remember only 5 abilities which are similar by its effect (not by animation of cource) or that people want to say that abilities have similar damage or heal?I hope they are not so stupid.In Dota 2 every hero has 4 abilities (i dont remember about passive ability) and you need to make simple upgrades which upgrade damage/heal.Also there are special talents on 10, 15, 20, 25 lvl which can improve your hero stats/give more ability duration/less cooldown/more dmg for ability.
    Hots heroes have 5 abilities (5th can be passive or active) , every hero can choose 1 talent of 3-4 (and two to choose for ult), talent up at level 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 20.Some of them have special task to complete and get bonus and there are some which give you new abilities (not so strong, compare with basic).Its clear, that talent system is better in Hots then in Dota.And that was without including Dota items, so lets talk about them.

    Items in Dota make a major influence in fight, i find feeding for items is boring, and that is another problem that people say, they say that Hots is boring, too fast and i found guy who said its not funny.
    Every game in Dota lasts about 40 mins an average, all the game you are trying to earn money, buy better items and just kill your opponent because you have better items.
    Hots is fast, has many maps, the complete opposite of Dota, that how it was made.You think Hots boring because its fast?Because i dont see where it can be boring, if it has 15 different maps and dynamic gameplay.About fun, you want some clowns on the map, who will amuse you or what?For example, find funny playing Cho`Gall with my friend.

    Hots has shared level, because of that, there is no guy who will dominate all the opposite team because he got bigger lvl. Team gets exp for killing creeps, taking camps and killing enemy. There is no "Kills mean nothing" or "Its impossible to comeback", Kills give you important exp in the beginning and might give you victory after 20 lvl, because hero respawn is very long at that time of the game.2/5 or 3/5 of the game you need to stay as team (not all the time, how said sever "pro gamers" in these reviews) , the other half heroes must be splited up on all 3-2 lines.
    Disconnect problem is not so big, i may have disconnect 1/15 games, but its less than 30 sec.
    Now we came to the main problem, the problem of people's behavior.You have a small chance to get a team, where everyone will try to win and wont cry, doing bad for all team.Many people hate Hots for toxic people, but isnt it absolutely all games have such a problem?You can get lower rank because of them, so got I. I got 5 gold after calibration, after several games fall to silver 2 for a long time.It was hard to win every game but then i dealed with that, picking my best heroes.Currently im platinum 3-4.

    Hots is an interesting moba game which was made different from other moba games.Its seems easy, but that is the point. You can play other moba, if you dont like its gameplay. Hots was made that way.
    That how critics say (and its also a cause because there are no negative critics).

    This game deserves at least 1 more point to user score.
    By the way Dota
    and Lol have low rating too, everyone just argue with each other.There are people who played Hots and got mad because of "main problem" (and then rated it as 0-4 (who can even rate as 0? 0 score-0 brain)), i think people should left their little whims somewhere else. Still, i wont put bad rating for Dota or Lol because "I played only Dota and then that "Hots" appeared, i wont play it, Dota forever, Hots is trash", its very stupid and looks like child's deed.    … Expand

    This game was an interesting project of Blizz, but as always, they just dont give two fcks about the community. This game has completely turned to money-eater pay-to-win game. The Strategy is: release a new overpowered hero for players to buy and play cuz it's rly op and then after some time nerf it a bit, and don't forget to nerf some old heroes, making them just unable to use in a game.This game was an interesting project of Blizz, but as always, they just dont give two fcks about the community.

Some old heroes became just uselss for a game so if u just remove it noone will notice it. Then, matchmaking. it's made SO horrible, that some time u starting to realize that this game just wants revenge for something u did bad for it, again making it unreal to play. Then, brawls. Blizz made a perfect way to play their game if u don't want these concetrated games, u could just have some fun in braws, where u could find some interesting and funny gamemodes. Yeah, fck community, we'll just make brawl as a one gamemode, that won't change to other modes anymore, we'll just change the maps there, making it a mode where 5 ppl fight on one lane. no any "Pudge Wars" like modes, just this one lane battle. I expected so much from this game, but it just keeps stognating over and over i can't keep believing in it anymore.… Expand

    To heabily relies on teammates. That combined with randomness of PUGs and low playerbase for MM to match even teams results in awful games with lot of frustration out of not being able to influence outcome of the match. You can only not drag team down, you cant carry them and win the game yourself. Its all about how MM decides to match you.

You can only not drag team down, you cant carry them and win the game yourself. Its all about how MM decides to match you. Not even about your enemies, but about teammates - if they are bad, you are turned off, game cannot be won. Simple as that. To much weight is put on teamfights. And there you cant do anything alone among all the combos, synergies and crowd control. Without good team you are locked out of fight or easy pick to chain-cc and burst down. Im getting tired of this roulette game, where the outcomee you have to watch for 15 minutes.… Expand

    I'm playing with alpha, today I realized that the game is very fast and methodically roll to the bottom. There is no support, there were problems in the game process. League system bottom. Team time selection too.

    Лучшая моба которая когда либо создавалась. Близарды сделали шедевр и только фанаты других игр могут поливать её грязью. Геймплей Вас не оттащит с утра и до ночи, игра никогда не надоест. Это шедевр! 10/10

    Best Blizzard game! Love being able to play as my favorite characters across the Blizz Universe. The mechanics, maps, and graphics are all outstanding. Great game play highly engaging. Wish they'd put more developers on the project, they've really nailed it with this game

    Not my first, but my favorite MOBA. Not very complex like others, lot of variety with different maps, and fast pacing. If you like MOBA genre but don't want lot's of time to invest into it Hots your choice. Sadly released to late in over saturated market with leaders like DOTA 2 and Legue of Legends.
    Still if I want to relax and play some quick matches HOTS is my choice.

    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)

    This game could be awesome. The maps are nice, also the different strategy of the game. The problem is it doesn't care with players. They just want to create new chars(initially overpowered so people buy it and then probably nerfed) and maps, but not a single effort to make the MATCHMAKING better. It's the worse matchmaking of all moba I've ever played. (even on mobile). If you play with 5This game could be awesome. The maps are nice, also the different strategy of the game.

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).
    Too bad, I though it would be an amazing MOBA. Played on day one but until now no gaming improvement on those. I really tried to give at least 5 rating but matchmaking really kills the game... One team with healer, tank, and the other without a single healer? This is too basic to be in a decent MOBA game, never thought a Blizzard game would have this kind of amateur problem for so long.    … Expand

    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]
