It's a common problem in long running live service games: how do you onboard new players into something this complex?

      I still play hots almost everyday. I do play with new players once in a while. Also the community is holding on to that game like crazy. I never wait to play and I rarely see the same names. They even deployed a couple new patches in the last 6 months.

      I think they should still put this game in Steam, maybe it could revive it.

      I wanted to try Heroes of the Storm to play with Kerrigan and Doom, but they never made it cross platform, and I don’t think it was ever released on Steam. The idea of everybody levelling together instead of individually seemed like a great idea, but IMO that should’ve been a game mode instead of the main one.

      Anyway, no MOBAs for me anymore. Hopefully OpenChamp will become something great!

        It’s a shame more non-blizzard companies didn’t try out some of the mechanics of HoTS. It’s the only MOBA I played and actually enjoyed. My favorite part was that there was no item shop to overcomplicate matchups and expected stats.
