Being a good player in Heroes of the Storm is not so easy. It is helpful when a professional explains the crucial gameplay scenes and points out mistakes.
Easy to learn, hard to master
As with almost all games from Blizzard, the beginner-friendly principle also applies to Heroes of the Storm: Easy to learn, hard to master. However, making the transition from an “acceptable” to a “good” player is not so easy without external help. It is very useful that some top players take the time to analyze professional games and show us mere mortals what the crucial plays, positioning, and decision-making errors of a match were. One of these players runs the Youtube account Fan Heroes of the Storm and analyzes a final match between the teams Cloud9 and TempoStorm, where he himself participates as Abathur.
He goes very detailed into the decisive 4 minutes of gameplay in his 20-minute analysis and shows even for newcomers how important the right positioning and the lightning-fast reaction to team commands are. At a high level, it can be recognized that not only kills count, but also the usage of ultimates. And how important it is to create minion waves to split the opponents’ attention.
Anyone who has previously denied the tactical depth of Heroes of the Storm may have been enlightened by this video or at least received some suggestions for their own maneuvers to perform better in the Nexus.
