HEROES OF THE STORM

Oh neat, this has characters from Blizzard games that AREN'T Warcraft related! Now I am interested. I didn't realize that before. Too bad all of the Diablo characters are from the shitty Diablo 3 game.

Yea, it's mostly stuff from their newer games, but a lot of the characters feel pretty familiar; like, if you used High Templars in the original Starcraft, then Tassadar will probably feel pretty familiar.

I think it mostly depends on what mode you're playing. I won't go near hero league because that's where the vast majority of toxic players are. Quick match isn't too bad, and I find myself feeling pretty chill when I'm playing in a party. For me, the only times I lose my patience are when people aren't helping the team (since HotS puts way more emphasize on teamswork than other MOBAs) or are intentionally screwing around or being toxic. Thankfully, neither occur too often for me.

Yea, I mean, relatively it's not bad at all, and even if a game goes sour, at least they're usually pretty short. I also like that turnarounds are way more likely in HotS, compared to most other MOBAs, which have a stronger snowball effect. But I've always felt like I could write an essay's worth of arguments on why MOBAs are rage-inducing by their core design.

That hasn't kept me from playing them anyway, mind you...

I quit when they ruined TLV.
