So who here is playing Heroes of The Storm?

I was just wondering what opinions you have about the game if you are playing it.
It's supposed to be a more casual, accessible MOBA with a Blizzard theme, and so far that is what my impression of it is. I've seen it being called a dumb baby game and all sorts of bad things from MOBA fans, but I still think it's fun. It's fast, short, free and in Beta right now.

The othe game it reminds me of is Infinite Crisis, the DC Comic MOBA, which has short rounds but still has the 'last hit' mechanic of League and DoTA2.

that sucks people call it a "baby game". Not everyone has the time for the more serious MOBA's or their insane communities. Sometimes simpler games are fun!

I haven't played it or any other MOBA's though.

People call it that, but it really isn't. While it's not as complicated as DoTA or League, it's complicated in it's own way.

I just never could get into MOBA's. I don't quiet understand how people enjoy them since I played one match of LOL and thought "wtf is this?" There just not my cup of tea. One reason I'm concerned about Battleborn. I was excited for it till the word MOBA popped up. Oh well, glad to see your having fun ^_^

I think Heroes is much easier to get into than Dota or Leauge. In fact, I think it's kind of it's own thing. I don't particularly like playing League or Dota, but this game is clicking with me for some reason.

Sounds cool. I like a simpler take on some of these hard core games. Could be my cup of tea too.

I haven't played it. Still don't have internet unfortunately.

I was actually very curious about what your take on it was. There is no last hitting mechanic and no item store either. The matches are pretty short, like 20 min, and they have objective based maps, so it's not all just pushing a lane. Despite the criticism of it being an accessible game for non-hardcore, there is some level of complexity beneath the surface, or so I've heard online.
