After five years playing League of Legends’ fantastic and balanced system, Blizzard has built a competitor that not only brings MOBA back to its Blizzard roots, but beats League of Legends in many ways. Changing some core principles to the MOBA standard, Heroes of the Storm takes much of the stress out of the fight that League of Legends holds, resulting in a better game with more less frustration.
TNS: "A League of Legends game mode, Arena, will return with some major changes that may breathe some life for a stagnant game."
ESTNN writes: "Hwei, LeBlanc and Ryze stand above the rest as the strongest players in the League of Legends 14.8 mid-lane due to substantial buffs in their scaling, base damage and crowd control (CC) respectively."
There's a spark of life coming from Heroes of The Storm.
I am in the beta for Heroes of the Storm and I completely agree. Heroes of the Storm is leaps and bounds better than League of Legends.
I might need to give this game a shot.
I've been in since the alpha and I've had more fun with this game than any other moba. I never feel overwhelmed and win or lose I always end up having a good time.
An article I read a while back sums up HOTS perfectly.. it's the MOBA for people who dislike MOBAs. I never could get into them but HOTS pretty much fixes most of my gripes. I imagine many dedicated LoL and DOTA 2 players will shun it but I think it's definitely going to carve out it's own path.
I love HotS
