Heroes of the Storm

I've got most of the heroes i want now apart from johanna (not spending 15k on a meh hero), I buy the ones on offer each week for about £3.50 and the rest with gold.

she should drop to 10k in a few weeks, i believe some of the other newish heros were 15k on release too.

Hi chaps,

I really want to get into this game, I am a bit of a blizzard fan boy and sunk days into WoW and similar currently with Hearthstone. I have always wanted to try a LoL style of game so this is perfect, however I am complete noob.

I followed the tutorials and staggered my way through to level 6 so far but still have absolutely no idea what is going on (online especially). I just find myself button mashing and then quickly dying still unclear on the objective.

Is there any good beginners guide for someone who has never touched this style of game before?

1) Keep an eye with what's going on with the map, tunnel vision is one of the biggest things why people fail, I still do it from time to time and you can easily get ganked or miss the opportunity to help your team mates.

2) Try not stand still when hitting the creeps in lane, this make it easy for someone to hit you with a skill shot compared to if you keep moving.

3) Try your best work as a team and work on the objectives, someone pings for help and you can spare, go help, sometimes you need to make the best judgement on whether it's worth it or not though.

4) Don't go running in against 2 or 3 as you will die and then spend time waiting to join. For example if the opposition team has 3 capturing a tribute, your team mates are too far away or dead. Don't dive in thinking you will stop it, you won't and you will put your ream at a disadvantage, best let them take it and fight another time.

5) Learn the heroes you like to play, don't just pick what you feel you should, play what you like and learn how that character works, who can counter that hero etc... Places like heroesfire have lots of builds to give you an idea and a base.

6) Just enjoy it, some losses will annoy you due to awful team play, some will be really close and well fought games. Same goes with winning.
 
4 is a big one I see a lot of players messing up on. Too often you will see 2-3 people jumping in vs 5, or attacking through a chokepoint, they die, and then they're like "why didn't you help?"

Sometimes you just need to let them have it and focus on the war, not the battle.

Thanks for the links and advice.

As far as MOBA's goes, what's the learning curve like as I have nothing to compare it to?

Easy to pick up and play, hard to become good.

It's all about practice and number of games played certainly doesn't mean someone is good.

More importantly just enjoy it, it's fun and frustrating but there is something about it that keeps me going back to it.

Also level up each hero in the free rotation to 5, it gives you 500g each time.
 
Awesome, I also agree about the tunnel vision especially in top down MOBAS...

People seek the kill instead of thinking thus hurting the team in the long run it doesn't matter what character you play as long as you know how they play and YOU enjoy it.

I'm still new but I'd be up for playing with others Nabuboria#2680 (i think)

Picked up the starter pack when i was wandering round town today so I've got a spare Zertul key going for the first person to reply.
 
me me me

on a side note i got "forced" to use tyrael for a daily quest and for a melee based character i was actually impressed seeing as i normally avoid them as much as possible nice little skill set. So gonna give a few more a go when on rotation as the TEST feature sucks lol
 
emailed you the key in trust, hopefully it works.

I've not tried tyrael yet but playing agaisnt him he seems a decent initiator/warrior. probably decent on a dual warrior team.

Thanks mate much appreciated.

You’ve successfully claimed a Zeratul.

I'd love to play with others do we have an OcUK team?
 
I've played with a few from OcUK and it's much better than solo.

I aren't on tonight but would be up for a few games tomorrow.

Also Zeratul is great, my favourite of the lot i'd say.
 
My ID is Vtec9k#2693 is anyone wants a game any time. Pretty busy this week but hopefully be online plenty over the weekend.

Will add you when I'm next on hopefully team up at some point
 
It won't even let me join battlenet, just stuck in a queue to log on :/.

Aeleys (and anyone that wants to play with people from here that hasn't already) do "/join ocuk" in game in the chat without quotations, you can do "/who ocuk" to see who's currently in the channel (and right click any names to check profile, add to friends etc).

Edit: Quit battlenet because it wouldn't show me how long the queue was, reopened and 83 minutes :D.
