This was the last good game Blizzard had left

Longtime dota player who has recently started playing League just for fun. What did I miss by not playing HotS? I was initially put off by how there isn't csing. Did I miss a great game?

Hots came too late and were too complex for your average moba player. Shame, it's Blizzard best game.

Nah, it's just the moba for hipsters.

I literally thought it was already in maintenance mode, and I'm honestly glsd we won't get any more Heroes because they'd just be more pozzed inclusivity message heroes like Qhira, ruined heroes like manjaw chubby Alexstrasza or retroactively tranny heroes like Chromie.

It was great for like 6 months. Had some very unique heroes and was just fun. Skips most of the farming bullshit so you aren't raging at some 12 year old Russian who you know lost you the game in 15 minutes but it takes you an extra 30 to lose.

it was okay. very casual, some cool and unique heroes. my best memories in like 350 hours are big dick carrying teams as ETC. dawngate had more potential imo.

it was fun, thats about it nothing remotely competitive about it even though Blizz tried to force it into the E-sports scene. had some coo skins and all the characters slowly poured into the game but as you can see it wasnt enough to keep it afloat.
Im really interested in their clash of clans ripoff, even though I know its gonna be super P2W

Even day 1, it was competitive with DOTA2 and League from an unbiased perspective. It just had this weird stigma of being unpopular and "too simple" which kept it from actually competing.
Then it became better than other ASSFAGGOTS, but the stigma against it didn't just go away, so it never properly took off.
Now, being on official maintenance means it will steadily die off over the next 5 years or so until they finally shut it down.
In all honesty, fuck Blizzard. They have ruined every single IP they own over the years.

seriously it's the worse of the bunch

The game placed fun over the "must win" essence of other MOBAs, making it stand out and be enjoyable even while losing

>Even day 1, it was competitive with DOTA2 and League from an unbiased perspective
I dont know if I would go that far but it's not untrue. DotA2 sucked balls on release and was coasting on reputation and residual goodwill for far too long. I honestly believe half of DotA2 "players" didn't play it and just shit talked other MOBAs to sound like oldfags.
LoL was a joke, HotS was not great but it got all the shit because it was just less serious.

i was more like a brawler than a traditional moba really. you were fighting people more than farming.

And it was great. Loved dunking faggots with Diablo, one of the most boring heroes. Almost every character was fun in some way.

overwatch shit being added was the beginning of the end.

This game was so fucking fun. Literally removed all the worst parts of mobas (farming gold, csing, wasting time in lane) and just went all in on team fighting. So good it's a real shame they ruined the game by trying to make it something it wasn't by shoehorning in a fake competitive scene.

I loved play cho gall, you really get into the rich lore of two headed ogres when you inevitably do end up with one smart head and one retarded head and neither agree on anything

I remember when they had the Blizzcon or w/e and showed off the goth loli character, and they were like "the future looks great for HotS!" Then like a week later they fired/transferred half the devs

That's the best thing about it, it cuts out the chores of MOBA games (farming) and gets straight to the fun, which is the fights

I've never played a blizzard game in my life except hots but that deer slut was my favorite character.

HotS is pretty fun. The only moba I could actually get into after LoL. Focuses more on objectives and team fights. No items to juggle. For me that's a plus. Focus on spells and abilities via leveling. Team wide leveling so ks isn't an issue. Different maps offer flavor instead of the same old laning game after game. Heroes are varied and interesting. The art style is nice enough.

That turret damage seems way higher than I remember, what the fuck happened?

>Shame, it's Blizzard best game.
I love hots but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

What else do they have left?
Overwatch, the most bungled game of all time?
WoW which is now a festival of faggotry that raped the lore?
Dead SC2?
WC3 REFORGED?
SHARTSTONE?

From the thumbnail I thought this was porn and she had her legs spread.

I think Warcraft 3 is blizzards best game, obviously not deforged though.
