I've been playing this over the last few days and I have to say, I really like it. I played a fair amount of LoL but I find HotS far more accessible and the games are also shorter which is perfect for my busy life! The fact that you build your hero in the game makes for a really nice change and it means that you can adapt your hero to the game far easier and quicker than you can in LoL. I think it works better than having to go back to the shop in LoL. I understand from a tactical point of view that picking your time to go back and buy items is crucial to get right, but HotS doesn't want to take you away from the fight which I find works really well.
