Try Diablo afterwards. Raynor and Valla make good heroes for learning asassins, not too complicated (especially Raynor) and can do a lot of damage. Malfurion and Li Li are good for learning healing though I'd focus on Malfurion more than Li Li as he can heal more easily. Azmodan and Gazlowe aren't the best of specialists though Azmo isn't that bad. Sylvanas and Zagara would probably be a bit easier to try Specialists with. Artanis and Tracer are not for the newer players as they rely on good skills and positioning more than other Heroes. | ||

On December 22 2016 MotherFox wrote: Hi there! Welcome to heroes  I'm going to provide a list of hero recommendations, then a few tips/resources after that.Characters to try This list is constructed with the following in mind: * Ease of initial play * Cheapness gold-wise * Powerful characters in current meta Note that in HOTS, heroes tend to cost gold relative to how long they have been out and how unique their playstyle is, not how powerful they are. There has not been significant power creep in the game since Blizzard is in the habit of going back and "re-working" old characters very regularly. As such, many of the 2k and 4k-cost heroes are actually top-tier picks or counterpicks. Supports: Rehgar Malfurion Warrior/Tank: Diablo E.T.C. Johanna Muradin Assassins: Tychus Valla Jaina (I'm leaving specialists out since they vary widely in playstyle and frequently have very specific things they want to do in any given game--- but feel free to experiment with them.) How do I build a hero? For builds you can use the website hotslogs.com to find pretty up to date builds. From the front page, click on the hero you are interested in, then scroll to the very bottom of the page you find yourself on. There will be a section called "popular talent builds" which shows the most-picked builds for the hero you selected. Approach to the game When you start out you won't own many heroes, and gold scarcity will probably be a concern. Heroes rewards you for both leveling up your player account(until you hit level 40), and also for leveling up each individual hero. You get 500 gold for bringing a hero to level 5, so starting off by leveling many heroes to level 5 can be a nice way to get used to the game. If you find a hero you like, level them up to level 9--- you'll get an addition 1,000 gold for doing this. When I first started playing the game, I made a goal of getting every free-week hero to level 5, and that got me enough gold to buy what I needed. | ||

My go-to picks for new players are Valla, Muradin, Malfurion, and Kael'thas. However, I encourage you to try lots of heroes out and see which ones you have the most fun playing. I discovered Illidan early on and played him nonstop, even though he wasn't the best hero for me to learn. The LiquidHeroes writing group wrote some intro guides a long time ago that might be worth checking out: They're a bit outdated, but much of the content is still applicable today. We'll be working on updating them in the next few weeks to bring them up to speed with the modern times. | ||
