Being loyal customer does payoff.... Somehow I set my interest in beta tryout.. So now I can play beta mode since months ago....

Myself as veteran dota player for 11 yes. Hots has the best map mechanic. Emphasis on completing in game objective and strategy. Unlike Dota, LOL, Hon which only lvling, farm item and kill to win.
ie: in haunted mine, how great is your team play is, if no collect skull, opponent can simply win the game as them golem is too strong to resist. Multiple machanics require multitasking to achieve victory.

Its makes the game more dynamic and players need to think ahead with different strats to overcome opponent. And the best part: comeback is always real....

Hero picking is 90%balance since everyone pick their own hero and mostly know exactly what to do. You know you gonna go in and die if you pick diabolo. Stay in the Base if you are abathur, fxxking heal everyone if you are Li Li . Yes there is noob but still lesser then other MOBA game.

Overall it's a good game. I hope blizzard won't screw up the marketing. I can see this game good lots of potential

Girl with yellow hair is Nova,
the cloaking light saber man is Zeratul.
both of them come from starcraft, play the game to know the story...

in Hots, look out for the mirage. sort of like distortion in graphic.... if want reveal them, use aoe skill... they will come out.

unless you are Tassadar... Oracle is the best counter pick for Zeratul and Nova.
