Third big difference is that there are no wards! Maps may have a few towers that grant vision when captured but they are nowhere close to providing map view control as a goodВ warder does in traditional games. The catch is, when you defeat these monsters, they donвЂ™t die! Instead, they join your side by moving to closest lane and joining your minions. While there is no вЂњjungle to expвЂќ, there are indeed mercenary camps lying around, including ones that even low level heroes can solo to вЂњbossesвЂќ that require a group or a powerful/well played hero. IвЂ™ll get into details when I talk about the maps.ДЄnother big difference are the jungle mobs. This doesnвЂ™t mean you should forgo everything and focus on the objectives though as they are always limited and a good old push or teamfight may still win the game. In fact, one of the main differences of Heroes is that the gameplay revolves around these objectives as ignoring them may stop your towers from shooting, letting your enemy acquire a badass monster as their own or have an undead pirate ship fire on your base. There isВ no jungle for exping/farming and all maps have special objectives which are way more important to the ones in the traditional games. Heroes has 2 or 3 lanes per map but no вЂњriverвЂќ, soВ you can freely move between вЂњsidesвЂќ. So, how does Heroes of the Storm (Heroes from now on) work?В If youвЂ™ve played DotA, Dota 2, LoL or HoN before, youвЂ™ll have it easy and in this post, IвЂ™ll be writing to peopleВ who have. Recognizable characters from BlizzardвЂ™s most iconic games face off against each other on themed maps. I know there are still those who like to read! IвЂ™ll be taking videos/streaming later on. If variety is the spice of life, then Heroes of the Storm is the MOBA genreвЂ™s ghost pepper. Since my throat is still sore and my voice is just coming back from the evil hoarseness (is that a word?), IвЂ™ll keep writing.
