I wouldn't, but I'm cheap. Raynor is 2k but not that great or that fun imo. Diablo is 4k if memory serves, almost unanimously considered the worst hero (can still be fun to play but he's UP). Tyrande is probably my favorite hero and the skin is cool. In my mind the only reason to pay that much is because you want access now. If you have access I wouldn't bother. You may find you don't like those heroes anyway. I personally recommend just trying to get all the heroes to level 5 during free rotation and then buying who you like with your 30k gold by that time. If you're not planning on diving in deep asap just enjoy it for free and buy who you like. You're also going to get labeled instantly if you show up in a game with any of those skins so it kinda kills the coolness  | ||

I'd just learn Dota at that point if I wanted to play a new moba. | ||

I haven't felt less of a "need to grind" in any game I can recall playing recently. It's simply fun to play. Honestly my biggest hnnnggggg feeling is when I want to get to level 10, get a master skin and drop 10k gold on it. But it's entirely superficial. I can play that hero to it's full ability at level 4. | ||

I've said it before, the existence of Dota makes all of the other free-to-play MOBA models feel archaic. | ||

But blizzard is such a poor company how can they afford to make all the heroes free?They need money too man. Played hots for a bit in alpha but was very underwhelmed.The locked talents to lvl 4 is the most retarded concept I have seen in my life. | ||

That's fair enough and I can understand that. My "random hero" is spread out over the course of weeks. There's not a lot of heroes to choose from so coming from dota its probably really annoying. I have played one game on TL night and one game in a coop and it did nothing for me. I have enjoyed every single game I've played of heroes I think. Except maybe one but if the team had been less toxic I don't think I would have minded losing my first sand map. | ||

It's not so much the existence, but the fact that Valve has successfully made so much money selling ONLY cosmetics and tournament tickets/team memorabilia. | ||

Didn't they have an article like a week ago that said Workshop contributors made $57m? Hats move, dude, hats. DAC/TI4 also made a lot, people love immortals. E: OH MY FUCKING GOD, THE DAC CROW IS CALLED BAJIE THE SWINELING, this is amazing. He is a fucking classy pig. | ||
