As someone who wasn't excited for this game at all but got an alpha invite the simplest thing I can say about the game is that it is fun. Most MOBAs I have found boring with the exception being Smite and that probably has to do with the 3rd person perspective (I loved WoW arenas) so for this one to be fun right off the bat was pretty huge.

With that said now that I have played it for a few months I must say that I am feeling less and less satisfied with my wins and more apathetic with my losses. There does seem to be some depth with the talent tree and hero combos but it's difficult for an average joe like myself to consistently get a team of 5 together in voice chat to just theorycraft and test these ideas.
I am The-Sink! Parting bandwagoner before it became a soul train.

All of the crapping on this game by people just strikes me as being ridiculously uninformed. The foundation of a great game is clearly there. The objectives-oriented gameplay is going to result in far more team fights than in LoL or DoTA, which could very easily lead to HotS being a superior spectator game. The only thing holding HotS back at present is hero design. Most of the current roster of heroes are fairly rudimentary and uninteresting when compared to what you'll find in LoL. However, I'm willing to chalk this deficiency up to the game being so new. I strongly suspect that future heroes will have more dynamic skillsets.


I think a lot of the crapping here comes less from people that think the game is "bad" (after all, virtually no one has played it) and more from people that feel like some of the content coming out on TL is a bit...aggressively gung-ho on pushing the game (that no one has played) for esports.


Im sure plenty of people have played it. Didn't they even have a free alpha weekend?

I just don't understand how so many reputable names are backing/enjoying the game. I found it very slow paced and clunky, but maybe its better now. We'll see how the game has evolved I suppose at the Blizzcon matches.


Just a big marketing move from Blizzard. No way is a guy like Idra, who is in his studies really contemplating going pro at this game. Also Naniwa at a teamgame what ? They prob all got a nice amount of cash.

Blizzard disappoints me once again

Can they release just ONE new game that I've been even remotely interested in? Blizzard died to me after WC3:TFT.

I love playing HotS, but so far I have been thoroughly unimpressed watching it. Hopefully Blizzcon will change my mind.

I agreed that HOTS is fun to play but for whatever reasons it's sub-par when spectating. Everything just feels......so slow, and inconsequential, and heroes take ages to kill.
