Blizzard’s new MOBA Heroes of the Storm has become a victim of the satire format “Honest Trailer.” One is pleased about communism and mourns the fate of some proud heroes.
The Honest Trailer by Smosh Games narrates the story of current computer games in the most “epic” and “dramatic” way possible. For Heroes of the Storm, the story goes like this: An ancient game from Blizzard created an entire genre that sparked an eSports boom and made the new games more successful than other games from Blizzard. And now they want a piece of the pie and take inspiration from the games that once borrowed from their old game.
However, the Honest Trailer also finds some nice words… well, at least partly. Heroes of the Storm removed all the annoying and frustrating aspects of the genre: farming, shopping, and the need to have any skills. Now everyone gains the same XP – oh, delicious communism.
Only one thing is regretted completely: that Blizzard’s appetite for microtransactions brings costumes that turn the proud dwarf king into a “Candy King”. These concerns are shared by our Cortyn as well.
