Hero League and Quick Play are the same thing except for draft mode versus pre-select and a number next to your name. Internally they both have MMR that if you care about you can find on HotsLog or heroes.gg or whatnot (Hero League won't actually show you your MMR either just like all Blizzard games). That said, I understand that people want to play where all the 'good' players are, but is it really that hard to get 10 heroes? I've been playing for just over a month and hit level 20. Doesn't seem like I've been power gaming and I have over 20k gold so far (haven't bought a hero yet, free rotation is enough for me until I actually need them). This is with 3 heroes at 5+ too. Gold'll be tight to get a 'good' set of 10 heroes by the time I'm level 30, but so maybe it's time to grind some more hero's to 5+. Edit: Mistyped my gold amount, changes things a bit lol. | ||

Personally I think Uther is a lot of fun, but I wouldn't pick him in a rank 50 game where my allies are going to be stupid since he does no damage. Tassadar doesn't count as a support either. He might have map hack, but his shield doesn't provide nearly the same healing as any of the other supports. He's more of a hybrid like Abathur. I don't think "support" heroes are the same in HotS as they are in LoL and DotA. Because there are no items, supports stay relevant throughout the game. I also think that they can carry teams. Good Uthers and Brightwings (and Tassadars) are perfectly capable of winning games outright for their teams in a way that you won't see from supports in those other games. People haven't quite figured this out yet, but once they do, I don't think that "support" will have the same stigma in HotS that we are accustomed to in other MOBAs. | ||

It's a shame that it's hidden though, maybe they can expose that going forward to give people a feel for how they're doing outside of Hero League, but to call that casual or non-competitive isn't exactly accurate.

Gold'll be tight to get a 'good' set of 10 heroes by the time I'm level 30, but I honestly expect account level not gold to be my limiting factor for entering Hero League. It's the only thing that matter for people who want a more competitive environment to play in. Draft mode makes the game a lot more competitive since you're able to choose your team comp and also counter pick as opposed to casual where you get mix with other people who picked random heroes and where you're often stuck with a bad team comp vs a better one and you often have no chances of winning (given that people skills are similar). So yeah, calling it casual or non-competitive is 100% accurate. | ||

I haven't even played Valla and Raynor (both are sitting at level 1). Given how popular the ranged assassin role is in HotS, I figure that I can convince others to take care of it for me. With First Aid, Stoneskin and Odin Tychus bruisers more than most bruisers | ||

I'm sure the other heroes are going to get a whole list of turning changes though (*cough* Tychus *cough*, and *fingers crossed* Jaina) I'm surprised how little discussion there is about this trailer. First things first the tutorial... finally. Having a total garbage tutorial has forced other players to teach players and that has lead to so much toxicity on all levels. Fixing that is a huge step forward. Second, Raynor's attack sound is now a standard gauss rifle sound? They said they were changing Raynor and I wonder if this is more than just a change in sound effect. Falstad... he felt fine. He was strong, but his kit felt fine. I wonder if this is just a change to Aerial Blitzkrieg which was totally unusable. It looks like a directional displacement like emerald wind. Abathur's new ability looks like a new "ult" where it buffs his symbiote target in some way? An R that you use while symbioted? It fits what Blizzard has previously revealed about their ideas for a new Abathur ult. You see Abathur in a cocoon, you see the symbiote hat on his target. Lili looks to have more utility now with some type of ally buff. | ||

You're still pugging the majority of time you're in Heroes League, especially once Team League is out. Yeah it sure isn't the most competitive, team league will always be and sure you will still probably pugging the majority of the time even in Heroes Leagues but if you want to take the game "semi-seriously", Heroes League is where you will play because it's just more enjoyable for the reasons I listed before. I'm not saying that versus mode is useless, but it's the casual play mode for HotS because it doesn't have a draft mode. | ||

I'm thinking of adding another section to the TL player sheet for those that hit 30/40 and have at least 10 heroes. It'll also be nice to know which heroes or roles we prefer to play. Added a second sheet to TL player list for ranked player list. Same party size was already announced as a matchmaking parameter. | ||
