All heroes are free to play in Heroes of the Storm this weekend!
One free choice, please
Recently, there was a major patch for Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s MOBA. It has revamped ranked play and kicked off the first “real” season for the hero and team league, where players can now climb ranks and earn rewards.
To allow former and new players to enjoy these new modes and perhaps find their way back into the worlds of the Nexus, Blizzard is hosting a special event this weekend. From Friday, June 24 to Monday, June 27, all heroes in Heroes of the Storm will be unlocked and playable as “free to play”.
This is the perfect opportunity to try out all characters to get a better feel for them and then decide later whether to purchase them. Especially with expensive characters (usually newer ones) like Chromie or Medivh, it is advisable to play a few real matches before making a purchase decision. The “try out” mode often reveals little about how a hero performs in an actual match.
At the same time, the weekend can be used to earn a lot of gold – because even if you do not own a hero, you can level them during the hero’s “free to play” time, and thus at least gain the gold rewards for level 5. It’s best to team up with other players from your friends list, as this will result in extra experience points, leading to faster gold earnings.
