Basically one year after the game was said to be never updated again, this giant bug fix and balance update just drops without any warning. And this happens just as the Microsoft deal is finalized and Bobby is leaving Activision at the end of the year.
This left many fans wondering if the MOBA would be returning, as Microsoft hinted at wanting to possibly explore or Revitalize old intellectual properties after the blizzard deal went through.
So since I can’t find a dedicated Heroes of the Storm bored on lemmy, I figured I would just make this post and see if anyone else believes we may truly be going back to the Nexus.
That would be pretty cool for those who cling to Heroes of the Storm. It has a solid foundation and is a nice refresh on the same old formula.
I started playing it again recently and it’s as good and fun as ever. If they start up the development again I hope they don’t make it worse, I don’t want hots2 with the same ‘blizzard overwatch 2’ mindset.
Well funny thing is, HOTS used to work like Overwatch 2, but they changed it to work more like OW1 in an update called “HOTS 2.0”, which was very well received.
Personally I get you though, Battle Passes and other FOMO nonsense are cancer and I don’t want it in games
Oh yeah I played both before and after hots 2.0, I just don’t want battle passes and overpriced skins. I always thought the gold, gem and shard prices were pretty fair and accessible in hots, which made me actually spend money on it more than any other game at the time… but apparently it wasn’t designed in a way to draw the whales in so it didn’t make as much money off them.
Hots was the only game of the genre that I enjoyed. Still not touching it til kotik is gone
Played League since open beta… got into HotS and never looked back until it crashed and burned. Don’t think I could get into a moba again.
…unless HotS makes a comeback… i do miss my baby abathur…
