Loot boxes may contain heroes, skins, mounts, banners, sprays, announcers, voice lines, emojis, portraits, and stimpacks. Certain level thresholds provide higher quality loot boxes. Loot boxes are awarded for every time you level up a hero and contain four random items ranging from common to legendary. Gold is also used to re-roll loot boxes, which are earned by leveling. You earn gold by leveling up and completing daily quests, which can be used to buy heroes and make them continually available. There is a selection of fourteen free heroes per week. If you want to track your stats in more detail, go here: Specific hero guides can be found here: Blizzard rates the following heroes as easy to use for newcomers: Azmodan, Kael'thas, Li Li, Malfurion, Raynor, Sylvanas, Uther, Valla This is especially true for players new to the genre who read what I wrote and it made no sense. If you're confused about anything, play through the tutorials, which go into everything in depth and give you gold for completing them. The matches are built to last approximately 15-25 minutes, which is a fair bit shorter than most MOBAs. Instead, every three levels you can select from between two to five talents that can majorly modify your abilities, character, or give you new abilities. Your entire team gains levels at the same rate, so who gets kills or a destroys a building doesn't matter. There is no concepts such as a carry, so don't try to fight three people at once and expect to win. Another is that the four archetypes (Warrior, Assassin, Support, Specialist) are balanced like an MMO (Tank, Damage Dealer, Healer, Utility) instead of regular MOBA archetypes. One of the biggest differences is that each map has an objective that does something like spawning a super unit for your side or making the enemy units/towers not attack for a limited period of time. While similar to a MOBA, containing multiple lanes, infinitely spawning units, and an objective to destroy the enemy base, there are several key differences. Brawl: A mode that can contain just about anything. Team League: Pre-made five vs five teams only. You find out what map you're playing on, and then select heroes in a draft format. Hero League: Five players vs five players. You play on a randomly picked, unknown Battleground. You select your hero before searching for a match. Quick Match: Five players vs five players.

Play Against AI: Play against five enemy AIs, with a choice of either playing with four AI teammates or four actual players. Balance Patches: Once a month at minimum. Most of the discussion and activity happens there.ĭeveloper: Blizzard Entertainment Team 1 (The RTS Team)
