Heroes of the Storm
 

Is anyone out there playing HotS? It is a very casual MOBA but has a nice variety of maps and heroes. Plus who does not want to play your favorite Blizzard pixels and have epic battle clashes.

One thing from my playing is it seems very balanced so far. There are some lame characters that are weaker than the rest but there is not 3 or 4 stand out heroes that just dominates like LoL has (Or well did have when I use to play).

If you have not given this game a shot I would recommend it.

Is it ONLY other humans to play against? I dislike that d-.-b

Is it still in Beta? I played a bit of it during Alpha. It's definitely much less stressful than Dota 2.

I'll play with you sometime. My Bnet battletag is (if I remember right) tonavin#1510

@Drave

You can play against the computers. You may play against the computer on different difficulty too in custom matches if you prefer. You have the option to play against the computer with humans or with other computer players.

@RDD
It officially released on the 2nd. I played it during Open Beta. Hit rank 19 but have went back to doing quick matches because they are enjoyable. Really dislike how people can do Hero League with a full team. That should only be for Team League. Hero League should be solo or queue with 1 friend IMO.

Will add you to my battle tag next time I get on. Don't remember mine because I sold my account and made a new one to play HotS.

Nice. I'll have to redownload the game (I wiped much of my HDD in anticipation of a format that never came to fruition) but I'll try to get on tonight

I added you Mr. RDD but I missed you last night.

Ahh I thought that was you who added me. I saw you online, by the time I got in from ADVENTURING irl I was kinda tuckered and not in the mood to game. I'll be outta town this weekend but we'll defs play next week

Good stuff.

Are you gonna INGRESS out of town?

Going to egress out, actually

This game is fun as hell :D

It is... add me to bnet dogg

we should all play

Drake what is your tag?

Drave82#1289

Sent request to RDD

Cannot play a lot though, probably on weekends mainly.

holy crap @Hasney pushed this thread all the way down to like bottom of pg1...

@Ruien that was fun, let's play again soon.. you use Skype or anything?

Heck ya it was fun. I do have Skype but I tend to only use it when my girlfriend is not around (All weekdays until late when she gets home from work). Basically, anytime before 10:00pm central time we can Skype it up.

I find it easier to coordinate that way, though I must admit I really like the ping system HotS uses. Makes it very easy to see when someone wants to hit an objective etc. I didn't feel very lost at all

though I do like the voice chat stuff just bc I have no self-awareness at all when I play sometimes so it's nice to have someone barking orders when I am picking daisies

Haha good stuff. Will you be around tonight? It is my off day for the gym so I can play more than 1 game this time.

Maybe. I have softball after work, not sure if we are going out for beers afterward or not. Game's at 6:30 so if we don't go out I'll prolly be home around 8:30 est

Good stuff. We need to get Drave involved some time too.

Saw you online as I was logging off last night.

Weekends are best for me, family and work stuff and what not. Definitely need to get things going though.

I'm busy Saturday night with poker but that won't be an all night thing. Friday night wanna try? I usually do Dota 2 on Fridays but I could go for a diff moba...

Assuming drave84 isn't welcomed to the world by then :love:

I am fine with getting some games in on Friday. As long as Drave does not call me Noid again >< :(.

When they say "Difficulty: Easy/Medium/etc" are they talking about the how hard it is to effectively use the character? Such a fucking noob at this whole MOBA thing.

Also, HOLY SHIT AT YOUR RECORD NOID! You play the game a lot :kiss:


Since I left work today I have to work Friday :( I wouldn't be on until 11PMEST or later anyway.

Ya, I had a like month period where I was addicted. Don't play as much/quit playing ranked games awhile ago. Also helps Steam is having their sale.

Easy/Medium/etc refers to how hard the hero is to use effectively.

Really helps that the games typically only go 20 to 25 minutes.

I have zero characters purchased so far, but just have 4k gold too. Saving for someone but unsure who yet. So far, I tend to like the ranged assassin classes, though Kerrigan is fucking sweet too.

I only have I think 3 or so unlocked from my time playing Alpha. I have like 14k gold or something but no idea what hero(es) I would like to spend it on

Definitely not playing healers, fuck those guys.

that fucking Chi Chi panda or w/e the fuck is so damn annoying

I threw all of Kerrigans tentacles at her so hard today.


So. Hard.

That reminds me of a fanfic I <s>wrote</s> read once

Illidan is soooo much fun to play. Anub and Jaina is great too.

I haven't tired Illidan yet. Have a buddy who plays Azmodan pretty regularly and he seems quite fun.

I honestly have played Muradin the most. Very simple hero to play but so effective. All those stuns.

Love Muradin too. He was the first hero I used and bought. Healer wise I enjoy Uther and Rhegar the most. Uther is a stun machine. Guess he is more CC then healing but hes awesome.

Excellent Resource:

Maaaan, I won't be home until like 7 or 8 central time. Going to be my gym time on right after work then pick up the little one.
