Initially when I heard about this game, it was called "Blizzard Dota" so it was quite a shock when I heard that the experience would be shared and there would be no last hitting. Sounded like they were completely ripping the very basic rules of the genre. It definitely brought a lot of concern and skepticism from me.

After giving it some thought though, If Blizzard really did just make another DotA game I realized that I would probably give it a try for a few days then just go straight back to Dota 2. While I remain really skeptical for heroes of the storm, this new direction and take on the genre is something I can probably agree with and appreciate. I already have Dota 2, I don't really need another one. Just thinking about having a fun, chaotic game to play when I don't have enough time to get a a full DotA match in sounds great. I practically have to plan my schedule before committing to a match of Dota. Not having to do that for a game in an similar genre is not a bad idea at all. For now I will say that this game is very promising but its up to Blizzard to really deliver something amazing and fresh.

Stiches should've been the butcher, imo and Valla should've been either Natalya or Danetta



During the Deep Dive panel on Saturday before the live matches at Blizzcon, they showed a bunch of champions and some of their skins in alphabetical order. The butcher was on that list, then later on you saw stitches with like 5 skins or so. So they are both in the game, at least from what they showed, but of course that could change.

I played Abathur and he was really interesting and actually difficult. You have to have complete map awareness since most of his abilities have unlimited range. And you have to know how to play every other hero, since you become the other heroes temporarily. I think he'll be really fun and challenging to play. And I'm interested to see what cool heroes the design team can create with the unique parameters of Heroes.

not to mention you need map awareness because you spend half the time inside somebody else, while your own body is just out there doing nothing

So, does that mean someone isn't able to play while you are inside him and can go afk?

They're the player classes. Demon Hunter, Barbarian, Witch Doctor, and probably later the Wizard, Monk, and Crusader.

basically, you have one ability where you go inside an allied hero/wall/turret/whatever, and you can give that unit shields, shoot out a skillshot, and shoot off a point blank aoe. in that mode, abathur is just standing around vulnerable wherever you cast the spell from. the allied hero still behaves as normal. When you use abathur's ult to copy an ally hero, the copy takes the place of abathur, so you aren't vulnerable in that state.

So Lifestealer + Meepo. Neat.

not helpful at all to put him in terms of some combination Lifestealer + Meepo

There is a HoN hero with pretty much that exact ability called empath. It's like naix infest but you get other abilities to use while inside another hero and you passive buff that hero while inside as well.

I actually like that they call this a hero brawler and not a moba or arts. It really is a hero brawler in that you start fighting from the beginning. There is no "farming" at all and so it basically becomes a 5v5 from the get go which in my opinion is awesome. Looking forward to trying this game out!

That's cool. The number one thing that ruins games for is snowballing and having to stick around in a unwinnable game. MOBAs and NS2 have this problem and it really destroys my longterm fun in the game because once the opening phase of the game is done the outcome is already determined.
I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless.

There are 2 heroes I really want to play right now. Techies and/or Abathur. Whichever comes first, I'm done with the other game.
