If you think so. For me HotS just feels wrong. Every game gets interrupted with dumb side events like collecting skulls and other bullshit to summon an op big boss.
Instead of letting players develop their own strategies the game forces you into one. That's just damn cheap way of hiding the missing depth of the game since then people aren't really required to think on their own.
Just follow the objectives showed on the UI and you'll be fine.

tl;dr, Super Smash Brothers Blizzard

But really, I enjoy it. It's really nice to have a MOBA style game that can accommodate casual playstles.

I mean the MOBA concept is good fun, but LoL/dota wants me to commit to them and demands too much of my time, and that time and commitment is reserved for other games.

That and my league friends want me to do a bunch of shit (lvl cap, runes, champs, learn items etc) before they want to play with me. HotS friends will pug with me no problem.

No need to learn about items or all this other fuck-buggery, just learn the basics and git good at the champs you like. Or don't, whatever, just play and have fun.

That said, i wouldn't suggest HotS as anyone's "main game". There just isn't enough depth to make it fulfilling. No real meta, or anything totally radical you can do to get a significant edge. I'm pretty sure that was blizzards intention when making it.

The key to this game is not to think about the grinding, if you are thinking about gold you'll get frustrated, if you just play and get your dailies done you'll get all the gold you need "faster".
As for right now MM is fucked up since last patch thanks to some odiots who wanted a longer matchmaking for QM, there are some maps where i matters more if you have a healer or not, same for a tank or even if you go with 4 tanks.
Still, it is the best MOBAlike to date. As good as LoL on S1 or better imo.
Hopefully todays patch will get rid of this awful MM, also looking forward to Lunara and Greymane.

>>320232412
That's not what I meant:
QuickMatch has no drafting so it's useless for competitive purposes.

Ranked play (Hero League) does only support queueing with 1 or 2 players so you get fucked by 3 or 4 random Russians who can't communicate and do their placement matches anyways.
Solo skill also doesn't matter so there's no point in saving the game by picking something that allow you to outskill and carry the team. There's no voice chat. Hidden MMR also means you can't properly compete in any form of leaderboard.

Team League is so entirely empty that you play the same people over and over - if you ever find a match to begin with.

All in all it's a great casual MOBA but competitively it's a joke and falls short of LoL or DotA2 as it lacks basic features. The same seems to foreshadow in regards to Overwatch and that probably kills the game.

The variance of maps is nice, but it still gets old.

>>320233437
Personally, i like the grinding. I played LoL for nearly 3 years i think (started when renekton banner was in the shop i think, cant quite remember when i left, after Jinx for sure tho) and gold/IP was like a motivation as for me getting the next champion/hero is the goal along with keep getting wins
>>
>>320230331
Fun.
>>
>>320233437
People need something to keep them motivated to play after having lost a match - or several ones in a row. Most games these days spam micro-rewards like unlocks or currencies but HotS has none of that as the currency amount is too low to ever amount to anything when compared to daily quests and there are no micro-unlocks either as changing the color of the skin/mount doesn't feel rewarding and is also severly limited by the fact that you quickly have every hero's level at 10 compared to the amount of games you'd need to grind gold in to unlock all the heroes you don't have.

Valve discovered a long time ago that item economies and random rewards keep people playing a long time as they easily overcome frustration. CoD/Battlefield also have random unlock rewards these days to give people the illusion of long-term progress that yields fancy visual distinction where other games just say "you lost, here's 2XP on a meaningless bar".
>>
>>320233798
Strange.

I played LoL since start of season one and never cared about grinding. I just played with a friend and had fun.
Buying champions was just a nice extra but the weekly rotation was enough for me.

At this point I unlocked every champion and still have fun with the gameplay.

>QuickMatch has no drafting so it's useless for competitive purposes.
That's kind of the point. It lets you queue as a specific hero, if all you want to do is to play that hero.

>Ranked play (Hero League) does only support queueing with 1 or 2
And thank fuck for that. If you go up against a 4-man premade on voip, you've already lost. Go build a team if you want to play with friends.

>Russians
Agreed, they need a Russian-only server.

>Solo skill also doesn't matter
It does, you just can't carry. I've been able to outplay my lane opponent multiple times, bullied them out of the lane, and ensured our team get ahead in xp. When you get 10 before the enemy, and force a fight (and win), you can set the pace for the rest of the match if you're good.

>There's no voice chat
This isn't an issue for me personally, since I only voice chat with friends and we wouldn't use an in-game system anyway.

>Hidden MMR
Blizzard are shit at this aspect for whatever reason. Like 30% of the player base is in rank 1, easily, when it's supposed to be 2%. They're going to add Master and Grand Master ranks (like in SCII) above rank 1 eventually, to give you something to go for, but not until the first season starts. No-one knows when that is yet.

>great casual MOBA but competitively it's a joke
I'd both rather play it and watch it being played competitively than any other MOBA on the market. But it obviously doesn't have the depth of Dota 2 in terms of its mechanics.

Bretty fun, paid a solid 20-30AUD or so into it and felt like I got my money's worth. A shame about the matchmaking but I like the much looser, "brawler" style of gameplay where I don't need to sit in a lane for half the match. 8/10

It's the MOBA genre condensed down to its base elements: Teamfighting and map objectives. It doesn't feel like a chore like most of these games do after a while. And there are like 9 different maps so it's almost never the same game twice.

This is pretty much what the game got right. It's not as strategically in-depth as either Dota or League, but it's much easier to get into than other ASSFAGGOTS games whilst retaining most of the genre's core mechanics. If you don't want to reserve 40+ minutes of your life every time you want to play a game and just want to get in and murder some dudes, this is the Dota-like for you.

Or some of us are just straight up bored of the objectives that we played out over and over in the past.
>>
People play that genre because they are simplified RTS games based on teamwork. HotS focuses on teamwork more than any other moba since you have objectives to take care of, 1 player can't rape an entire team, and people usually dont have the kill power to kill someone because their allies show up/they get away to the base.

Also, the game has far more maps compared to it's competitors, AND said maps have uniqueness about them with the objectives. Keeps the game from feeling repetitive.

Not to mention it has more originality to it's heroes than any other game of the genre(except maybe demigod), since dota2/HoN is a literal copy of dota1, and league basically all the same abilities except in different combination(for the most part).

Its the most original, least repetitive, most teamwork focused game of the genre.

But honestly, the entire genre is for casuals. Turn-your-brain-off games that require very little effort. I play it(and other games of the genre) but I recognize it's flaws and how casual it is.

>It's the MOBA genre condensed down to its base elements: Teamfighting and map objectives
You're correct here, but it is very unfortunate they weren't able to make teamfights have more depth or variety. There's hardly much to watch for in this game, and teamfights are mostly one and done. The most fun you could have in a teamfight is falstad gusting the enemy into a stun or something.

Dota does everything perfectly, anything can happen in teamfights because there's so much variety and mechanics going on. When you enchant remnant a void and throw him out of chronosphere into his own team so they get stunned, or when you vacuum into a cleave wipe you just get hype as fuck, but I've never had that happen in hots.

But that is incorrect?

Have you never played the game?

Also, HotS has your same multiple ways to push 3 lanes shtick, except with objectives added aswell.

Actually, probably MORE ways to push the 3 lanes cause of merc camps.

>calls others narrowminded
Ironic.
>>
It's pretty fun. I never got into Dota so I'm not that hardcore, but compared to League, where games are half the length, and you aren't restricted to laning the entire game (unless you're on a shitty map like Dragon Shire) and just about any hero can do really well in blind pick. That said, quick match is fucking terrible if you're playing alone because you have no say or control over what your team is. You could have 4 assassins and Murky and get ruined by an actual team comp, so that's pretty fucking stupid.

Overall though, it's a great alternative if you're stuck on Smite or LoL. It has Dota tier heroes in terms of complexity mixed with a low bar for entry level players, and no wasting 4 hours in lane afk farming to end game, and to me that's always more fun.

This is straight up bullshit. Nearly every HotS game is fucking identical because there's so little variety between gameplay elements regardless of what map you're on. Lane for 1 minute, gather for objective, take camps before next spawn (or defend their initial push), REPEAT. EVERY game.

I'd take a giant, dynamic, assymetrical map over any of hots's anyday.

>There is literally no reason to split apart pass the mid game because a team wipe means an instant loss for most competent team. 5v5 is the name of the game in HoTS.
Can literally say the same thing about every other assfaggot.

Anyways, Ima go play some cause of how much I was talking about it. Have fun with your shitposting friend.

Zeratul about to get BTFO. You don't duel Illidan as Zeratul. You hide in the bushes until someone is at like 30% and then gank them whilst lamenting the fact that Nova is way better.

Really fun game to play with normie / casual friends.
Really boring and frustrating (TERRIBLE matchmaking, even in 3k+ mmr ranked) to play alone.
Too expensive unlocks, imo. Both in realy currency and the in-game gold.

Sure, it's not perfect, but it's reliable enough to show big differences in skill level between players.

There's a huge problem with the game if 2-3k mmr players are getting matched with 4k+ in a soloq ranked game.

This game proves one of two things: one, Blizzard shill this on /v/, as they have in the past openly paid money to persons and groups to promote it; two, /v/ has literal children posting on it.

So, there's a new hero spotlight.

Anyone else thinks that her attack animation looks really bad? Like, it's so fucking lazy, as if she barely puts any force in the throw. I don't even know how to describe it.

It's not the animation, it's the projectile. She flings her spear fairly well, but the projectile is too big and too slow to feel threatening. It's like watching a kid try to throw a ball really, really hard, only to drop it to ground. This might improve as the game progresses, assuming she gets +attack speed. But it looks pretty bad regardless.
>>
Blizzard did the most lazy thing to "streamline" assfaggots and just removed features from them and called it a day, hoping they could survive in brand recognition alone.

I like the map variety.
>>
I like HotS. Really casual but it's great to just sit back and relax playing.

Dota is still the most dynamic and intense assfaggot though. I don't play any seriously but I'd get serious about that one if any. Smite is pretty fun but I can't seem to play more than a round once in awhile.

Fuck League. That game started our as baby Dota and has somehow only managed to become more brain dead amd static as they added content.

>being surprised by this
nigger, BadInvoker's super powerful flamestrike spell is the size is smaller than a creepwave unless he buffs it.

gravity lapse? it's just a tiny green tornado that picks up 1-3 people for like 1.5 seconds.
PHOENIX is the GOD Al'ar. he's tiny as fuck and throws embers at people in a locked position for a little while

have you seen ANY of rexxar's spells? he throws a tiny hawk to tickle someone and slow them for 2 seconds
misha can charge a small distance and stun someone for a little bit
bestial wrath? you would think it'd be similar to WoW's, or even better looking, but nope. misha just gets 20% larger for 10 seconds
UNLEASH the boars, holy shit don't even get me started on this shit. you want cool special effects? no Fuck you. Here's your 1-5 tiny boars that dissapear on contact.
they couldn't even be bothered to come up with a second control unit for him, instead you get what is possibly the worst multi-unit control scheme ever created where you constantly have to tell misha what to do otherwise she will stop attacking or hit something else. Don't even attempt to bodyblock with her.

blizzard really isn't even trying and it's a shame to see people defend them

Stop being so blind. No-one is defending bad practices, but when idiots go "HOTS IS SHIT" you have other idiots go "NO U". Blizzard have been steadily turning worse since WoW came out, and today they can't write a story to save their lives, and they lost the attention to detail that once made them great. But they still make fun games.

It's okay game.
>they couldn't even be bothered to come up with a second control unit for him, instead you get what is possibly the worst multi-unit control scheme ever created
It was intentional, yet stupid decision.
They said that they didn't want to make another TLV and just wanted try different control scheme.

It's because blizz is too slow to introduce new heroes and maps. The roster is too small for now, so I have tried everything and got every hero I wanted. It is fun to play every now and then for a bit.

New maps isn't the problem it's that maps already in the game are such shit. One was even so fucking bad they removed it.

It's quite fun and actually plays differently to most moba's. It gets boring quite fast though and the lack of skill required can be annoying sometimes. At least it actually tries to make each game different though, unlike Dota or LoL.

No, the one where you had to collect skellies in underground.

>>320239998
>learn your shit
?
In patch notes they said that they just have too many maps and its becoming uncomfortable for them (lol), so they removed HM.
>>
>>320239998
not even bug issues, it was removed because there are too much maps at the same time, so they decided to cap the maps at 10 (not much, not too less) and remove that to keep it at that number
You can still play it on Custom Games.

nobody liked the map. it favored some heroes pretty heavily nearly forcing you to first pick them in Hero League.
Face it. The map got replaced by the 2 lane battlefield of eternity.

Have they fixed the d3 map with the goliaths or whatever their called? On launch if a team got the goliath the first time they pretty much won. Have they fixed that or is it still that imbalanced?

Looks great, sounds great, great concepts...

but plays like shit

Characters all feel like they hit like wet noodles until around level 10 and some objectives just feel like a hassle, especially the seeds in Garden of Terror.

Only fun I have in that game is playing Cho'gall because wombo comboing with a friend is genuinely fun.
>>
It's a fun game, they are improving it with every patch but they still have some major problems to fix.
If they fixed the fucking matchmaking, improved ranked mode and released new heroes faster it would be a legitimately good game, but even as it is now I still prefer it over the other assfaggots.
>>
I started MOBAs with IC, which I loved immensely. But that closed down, so I tried to find a game that I enjoyed both playing and the characters. Tried LoL, didn't mind it, but also didn't fine it too enjoyable nor do I really like the characters. Same with DoTA. Hated the Supernova beta. I'm trying HoTS now, only level 12, but I already kind of feel like this scratches my MOBA itch. It's pretty casual though.

>>320232087
So you mean it's the most creative and most skill-combinig moba?
