Blizzards: Heroes of the Storm

Well, I just bought the beta for Blizzards Heroes of the Storm, I'm assuming it's going to be like League of Legends, if I'm assuming right. Not many other games have skins and stuff unless it's that kind of game type. But I think it's definitely a good game move by Blizzard the fact they are putting together Diablo, WoW, and Starcraft characters to make game...i forget the game type, but assuming it is this game type.

I think now that Chaotic, I'm sure people most likely have had this opinion before, could have made a League of Legends type game. I honestly think it would have been a great game if they did.

The gameplay is different than LOL from the videos I watched. But it is a moba. A chaotic moba would have been amazing!

Yeah, that's what they are called again. xD. Just imagine all the different skins of guys that could have been made.

Man 40 founder's key? PFtt I dont' have that money to spend on a game which will waste even more of my time lol

Yep, it does waste a lot of time. I still have to finish Akame Ga Kill or whatever that Anime is...now i'm playing this Heroes of the Storm. Which I kinda like it better than League of Legends, since it seems to have more of a game mode point.

Did you get a key or did you end up buying a founder's pack?

I bought the founders pack. I think i heard rumors about it before hand but when I saw it I was like oh yes.

How's the gameplay been working out for ya? I've watched some videos it seems to be a really nicely paced game. I just don't' want to drop $40.

Compared to how League of Legends was for me it was seems to run smoother, the heroes arn't to bad, but I can definitely tell they might ending nerfing some guys xD.

The key thing that I like about what I've seen in HotS is that you don't focus on CSing for 50% of the game. Which is really a stupid mechanic in MOBAs imo

Yeah, HotS definitely makes it so you arn't going to wing by pushing the *** out of the opponent unless you are doing what the map wants you to do. Unless you have a huge Seige guy like Azomadan, but he'd still need to kill a boss or something to push. Not to mention there is times when you might be 22% and the opponent is still 100% and you somehow turn it around or get it close.

Just got into the beta (had it requested for idk a year lol). I really enjoy it. I wish the tutorial explains to take camps, because its like "Oh you can take a camp" and then I was sitting at their nexus for 5 minutes "decimating" the other team and not being able to take their nexus because I didn't have anything to tank it for me... Then I was like "oooh I can use camps" bingo. I wonder how many other players wasted time in the tutorial before realizing that.

I like how there are so many game types. Each stage has its own side missions which keeps it interesting. And since the "laning" phase is so short, I don't feel like I"m just grinding to level up.

There is just something about League which still makes it feel better though. Not really sure. Maybe the lack of items in HotS is making me sad jk

Yeah, I know what you mean the lack of items is a bit depressing. Maybe they'll add them later on.

No I hope not. I think it would ruin the feel of the game. Since there isn't a currency mechanic in the game (thank you!) an item system would be hard to implement. Unless its something dropped from the camps. That would be cool. Introduce a item drop mechanic. And when you die, you drop it!

Oh lets make this a suggestion on the forums lol

Maybe just have one game type with an item mechanic. So people would have to gather coins to get the item. But yeah it would ruin it.
