EPTAlso the currency design for Heroes was horrible when I gave up on it. A single daily quest gave more gold than an entire evening's play. It made actually playing the game past finishing quests feel unrewarding.

It's even more team-oriented than LoL/DotA because of its huge focus on objectives and shared exp (and minimal means of individual advancement), but the standard mode for play is still queuing solo. If you have a bunch of friends to play with all the time it's great, otherwise you feel even more at the mercy of your team than even LoL and DotA.

I played a whole bunch of games weeks before playing with you Soniv and was very objective focused; it just wasn't fun. When I played with you I played how I felt like playing that night. | ||

The other thing that gets me when I play Heroes is that it has so many borrowed assets I feel like I'm still playing SC2. Then all I can do is ask "Why am I playing this instead of an actually free custom SC2 map?" | ||

In game is pretty fun tho. while more team/objective oriented, games always sucked when a teammate throws. Around the time of the initial alpha release we used to get 3,4,5 people from the liquid channel in game to stack up pretty easy which made a huge difference. I would love to stack up with you sometimes mordek but I lost access to the account that I had it on.  Might start from scratch on my account in the beta and then we can meet up sometime. | ||

Now, I don't like quests in hearthstone, but games are so much faster and stupid joke decks so much easier that it's not so bad. But being forced to play a hero I don't want to feels awful and if you ignore quests you basically don't earn currency at all, so you can hardly ever play the thing you want to play and earn currency at the same time. Not to mention that someone mathed it out and you actually earn new champions faster in League than in Heroes. The other thing that gets me when I play Heroes is that it has so many borrowed assets I feel like I'm still playing SC2. Then all I can do is ask "Why am I playing this instead of an actually free custom SC2 map?" Except there are quests just to play games with a role as opposed to the infuriating "I just need one more win with this class to finish two quests" and go 0-5. Granted I almost never solo queue so I think Monte may have a good point (as always  )A lot of the critique beyond gameplay has to be considered in light of still in Alpha too lol | ||

If I do well in league I have immediate individual rewards, but in heroes with everything shared the individual impact is harder to detect. I understand what you say, but I feel the individual impact is decent actually. Beyond the very first levels, spells have a fair manacost and health is not endless, so your worth is always impacted if you miss spells or take unecessary damage. It's not as feedbacky, but more direct in an adequate manner. | ||

Classes and roles are more or less analogous (you can have very different decks within classes), but I'll admit that the play rather than win thing is nice. If you did the exact same thing in HS though people could quest by conceding or suiciding themselves and that would be broken. At least, more broken than the current situation where people farm the bottom ranks. Again, I don't actually like quests, I just think they work better in hearthstone. | ||

Would you prefer normal games just rewarded more gold or something? | ||
