Topic	Is Heroes of the Storm good?
HanOfTheNekos 07/06/17 10:27:06 AM #7:	ClyTheCool posted... It's pretty well put together. The maps are all pretty fun game modes, and a lot of heroes are pretty cool. If you are a fan of Blizzard then it can be really extra cool. Pretty easy to just start playing, though actually understanding the different maps took me awhile. That said, it's a more spammy type game like League, and on top of that there's no personal growth in exp or items compared to other players, so every game kinda feels the same. Just run at opponents, spam spells, try to complete objectives. It's fun to play for awhile but I really can't take it too seriously. Since there's not really a difference in experience between teams unless one side is REALLY stomping, there isn't a big difference in feeling between losing and winning. Which is good for reducing toxicity and raging I guess.... but the reason that stuff happens in other mobas is because players are just so invested in the game. I feel like HotS lost something important here Yeah, you just don't know the game well enough. I thought the same things until I really got more into the game and was able to understand and play around its intricacies more. As someone who has played LoL for years in the past (even with you Ana), HotS basically is good in every way that LoL/DotA is bad. Shorter game lengths, multiple maps, much less toxicity. There's more variety, whereas variety in LoL was "did I get a bad teammate I'll have to deal with for 45 minutes" or "I got less CS this time lol". HotS takes away creep farming, but still has exp farming. The game is heavily based on player interaction, and each map has specific objectives that force you to play the map in a different way than just staying in lane/rotating to others. Pretty much what Shake said - HotS is an amazing game because it's way easier to pick up, especially for those of us who don't have the energy/time for long LoL/DotA games anymore. --- "Bordate is a pretty shady place, what with the gangs, casinos, evil corporations and water park." - FAHtastic <cite>HanOfTheNekos posted [p:882425870] in Is Heroes ...
