With this, it opens up the basic strategic pleasure of five-on-five fantasy battle to an audience that might never have otherwise tried it.Ĭoming to Heroes of the Storm as somebody who is already heavily invested in this genre, I've found my attitude continually shift. They amount to a striking simplification of the genre's vocabulary, boiling the most opaque sector of competitive gaming to a handful of verbs: attack, defend, capture, collect. These decisions make Heroes of the Storm the most accessible MOBA I have ever played. Teams that are behind receive bonus experience, and the plurality of optional objectives means that there is almost always something you can do to turn your fortunes around-you just need to figure out what it is. Games rarely feel lost within the first few minutes-although this doesn't stop a certain section of the game's community from angrily abandoning matches after an early setback.
These scenarios are likely thanks to a generous number of comeback systems. Heroes of the Storm often feels like entering a Dota 2 match in the middle, and within a fifteen minutes you can be playing out battle scenarios that would amount to the endgame of a fifty-minute epic elsewhere. All heroes begin with three abilities alongside a passive power (although these sometimes have an active component) and earn an ultimate when their team reaches level ten.
