Hi everyone,

I'm new to HotS, and I was wondering: after how much time the price of heroes drops? Is there a fixed time, or it depends on Blizzard's choice? Is it worth to wait to purchase expensive heroes, or is it not?
In particular I would like to buy the Lost Vikings, but I don't know if it's better to buy other heroes first and wait for the LV's price to drop, or if this is no-sensed.

Thank you in advance!

New heroes are released at 15k gold, after 2 weeks they go down in price to 10k.

When a new hero is released there's normally a price drop on a hero (afaik, only been in beta since TLV came out), for example when Sylvanas came out Anub'arak was dropped from 10k to 4k.

If you want TLV just buy them, they're one of the newest heroes and won't get a price reduction for a LONG time.

For reference Blizzard aim to release a new hero every 4-6 weeks.

Edit: If you're talking about actual real money prices, Blizzard sell either:

One hero, one skin for that hero, and a random skin
or
One hero, one skin for that hero, and a mount

each week for half price, they generally announce each Friday what will be on sale the following week.

I'm also pretty sure certain heroes will never see a price drop (or won't for an extremely long time). I don't see heroes like Abathur or TLV ever being under 10k. Someone like Jaina will likely drop to 7k eventually, though. Of course, this is basically just a hunch, I could be wrong.

Heroes are quite expensive in "gold" but I guess it's because the game is quite new.

Do you win more gold in ranked than in quick game ? because 20-30 seems really low to me, 500 games for a champion is a lot :D

You also get more than 300g per day from quest if you do all plus 500 for every level 5 you get on a hero, which can easily make you 10k every other week if you play a decent amount. That's quicker than they come out atm.

If new heroes are ignored, there has only been 2 price drops since the account reset that happened during alpha (November 2014):
1) 2015-01-14 Stitches (price dropped from 10k to 7k at start of closed beta)
2) 2014-03-25 Anub'arak (price dropped from 10k to 4k at launch of Sylvanas patch)


New heroes on the other hand are priced 15k for the first two weeks after their launch. After that their price is dropped to 10k.
