Game to Discuss?

Being that there's no FOTW to discuss, let's go back to the "classics," insofar as "classic" means Heroes of the Storm - Blizzard's late entry into the ASSFAGGOTS MOBA genre, full of fanservice, designed to turn goodwill and nostalgia into sweet cash.

HOTS was genuinely good, got rid of all the lame sweaty laning shit and let you get to the actual fun part (clicking on the enemy bad guy while dodging circles in the ground).

Too bad blizzard is incapable of not fricking up anything.

I hate most of the maps.

Most of the maps revolve to: kill creeps faster, watch environment destroy enemy base.

I loved playing vs bots with my friends. Wish there was a good pve moba.

There was Evercore Heroes in development by a bunch of ex-LoL devs as just that, but the alpha test was rocky and instead of doubling down on refining the formula, they killed the idea and pivoted to be more like some sort of Diablo clone.

Truthfully, I rather enjoyed this game, despite the single other blizz game I've played being overwatch. It did a lot of interesting stuff, but its aggressive monetization meant that once my friend :marseytrain: stopped playing it, I did as well. I wasn't as bothered as most people by the shared resources, and I wish more had survived its burning corpse besides the talents which were added to DOTA.

It was nice change of style for a MOBA, for a while it felt far more casual, but not in the pleb way, the its friday lets unwind way. Some of the maps were doggshit and not fun after a while, but I enjoyed it until they really r*ped its corpse.

HOTS was fine and enjoyable with the classic heroes and such, it almost made me feel like I was replaying the WC3 version. But then it got ruined when they introduced the Overwatch heroes where a lot of their functions were run and gun that a lot of the current and old heroes did not have that capacity to deal with until each got their own revisions in some way (if they even did).

I did like that most matches are 20something minutes. Everyone gains exp evenly so its not like you needed a sweaty jungler or laners or what have you that LoL needs. If you're struggling to push you can use map objectives to win or at least tip the scales. It added choices on what you wanted to do to contribute to the fight and I liked that.

But as usual Blizzard fricks it up.

I also miss being able to buy a skin for like 2$ directly but now you have to buy the gem pack and basically its now 9$ skins +. Fricking lame.

I like the game. Really feels like a love letter for Blizzard fans.

Played it a bit. It's a pretty bad MOBA imo.

A lot of games revolve around doing objectives and watching enemy base get destroyed. There's no strategy beyond "go to objectives and kill target mobs first"
