Dustin Browder took the time on Twitter to answer numerous questions about Heroes of the Storm – especially eSports was quite a large topic.
A little time to tweet
When there isn’t a big meeting with the employees of Blizzard, they definitely take some time to answer a few fan questions. Dustin Browder, the game director of the game, focused mainly on questions regarding eSports and future characters. We have summarized some of his statements for you.
First a bad piece of news. When asked about a spectator mode, they denied it, stating it currently has no priority. Even though Browder himself “really wants it,” it “certainly won’t come anytime soon.”
A fan asked what they think about the idea of so-called “spoiler skins.” These are adjustments for the heroes, as they would look after a major story event in their original game (as an example, Xel’Naga-Kerrigan and the mortal Tyrael were mentioned). Generally, the team is not against such skins, but they want to let some time pass first, to – as the name suggests – not reveal any spoilers.
Those who always behave exemplary, never become abusive and always have friendly advice are often rewarded in other games with a “thumbs up” or a positive evaluation at the end of the game. There are also such plans for Heroes of the Storm, but they will not be implemented in the near future.
A long-requested feature is the introduction of a ban system, which will allow certain characters to be banned. This system will come for ranked games in the future, but will also be possible in private matches so that eSport tournaments can make use of it.
A good piece of news to end with, for everyone who is already bored with the latest hero Cho’Gall: Lunara is expected to be released this year – there is no exact date for that yet, but the possible Wednesday dates can now be counted on one hand. Fans will not have to wait too long anymore.
