Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA game in which you choose a hero from the Blizzard universe and fight against the opposing team until you master one of several maps. Although there is no right way to win every game, you can follow some advice that will help you increase your chances of winning.
Then check out our tips for doing well in Heroes of the Storm !
1. Keep the same hero for a while
For you to improve your gameplay, you have to find your ideal character and train. So it is a good idea to keep the same hero for
at least ten matches to learn how to play well with him and to level him up quickly.
Don't give up on a character just because he didn't do well in the first two or three games, as this may be due to the fact that he still doesn't know how to play with his powers and abilities.
2. But get them all at least level 5
All
Heroes of the Storm heroes have advanced abilities that
are only
released when they reach level 5 . In addition, whenever you reach this level with a character, you earn 500 gold. Therefore, you must get the objective of leveling all the heroes of the game to at least this level.
Especially since the characters are dependent on periodic updates, there may be a need to change your favorite hero for another one
more appropriate for the current goal .
3. Take a look at hero guides
It is important, especially if you are still a novice player, to take a look at the guides that exist for the different heroes. In doing so, you will have access to
different ways to take advantage of your characters and ways to take advantage of their abilities and powers depending on the situations.
In addition, you can update yourself with information about the current
goal . However, don't forget that these are just suggestions and that you should always personalize your hero
in order to have fun .

4. Check game updates
Competitive online games
are always changing, and sometimes these changes are dramatic. You don't want to find out in the middle of the match that your hero's abilities have been changed. So it is essential that you check the notes of the updates that are coming out.
5. Complete all daily missions
Every day, the game will grant missions for you to complete. They can consist of
several objectives , from playing with a specific character or winning a given number of games.
Either way, you must complete these daily challenges to
earn extra gold and level up your heroes more quickly.
6. Give your wallet a rest
Like the rest of the MOBA games, in
Heroes of the Storm you can unlock everything found in the store with gold, except for cosmetic items. Therefore, if you want to protect your pocket, you should avoid buying with real money everything that
can be bought with gold .
In addition, new heroes typically cost 15,000 gold when introduced to the game, but drop their price to 10,000 after about a week. So
make smart purchases to invest your gold in what matters most.
7. It is important to communicate
In cooperation games, communication between team members is essential. There is nothing more frustrating in a game than players who are silent doing everything individually.
So, don't forget to
inform your allies of what's going on around you, either with pre-defined messages (press G) or when writing in the conversation.
8. Let no path be forgotten
In
Heroes of the Storm , the experience gained is general for all players on the same team who upgrade at the same speed. So, at least until you reach level 10, it is essential that
no path is left empty . By killing minions who appear frequently in the three paths, you contribute to the evolution of the entire team.
Unlike other MOBA games, here you don't have to take a specific route, as long as
they are all covered with a team member.
9. The objectives of each map are your priority
In
Heroes of the Storm , there are several types of specific objectives to complete depending on the map. These challenges are the most important for you and your team to focus on during the match, as it is what allows teams to
earn powerful rewards .
So, unless victory is imminent, it is essential that your team quickly
prioritize goals as soon as they appear on the map.
10. Don't forget the mercenary camps
Each map has several fields where monsters can be killed or bribed to fight alongside you. You will see these clusters on the minimap as
small yellow symbols and, once you reach level 10, you should try to capture them.
These mercenaries will help your team to press the paths, which means that your team can focus on other goals during the match. Just be careful with fields that have big bosses, as giant ogres are
too strong to catch alone .
11. Structures are also "tired"
In
Heroes of the Storm , both buildings and Towers are unable to attack infinitely. In fact, they run out of ammunition and stand
for a while while reloading . This is important to you, whether you are defending or attacking.
If you are in defense, it means that you will have twice as much work, as
structures cannot defend themselves . If you are attacking, then you should take this momentary opportunity to deal as much damage as you can to the base you are attacking.
12. Always keep an eye on support heroes
It is important to try to eliminate the supports first in major battles between the teams. This is because they are the characters with powerful
healing and shielding skills that make your attacks useless no matter how hard you try.
However, if the opposing team is smart, it will protect its healers well and, although it is essential that they are quickly eliminated,
do not try to do it unwisely , as your suicide will not help your team at all.
13. The Healing Sources are your friends
Each base has its own Source of Healing and by drinking from it the players immediately
regain some of their life , the rest being regenerated faster than normal for a period of time.
It is important not to forget to use these Sources whenever necessary, but only if strictly necessary, as your recharge time is long.
On the other hand, if you are attacking an opposing base, try to
destroy the enemy's Source of Healing quickly to weaken your defenses.
14. Sometimes it is best to withdraw
In competitive games, death is a very difficult thing to avoid, but even so, you shouldn't put yourself at risk unnecessarily. It is essential that you
do not isolate yourself from your allies . That way, you avoid being ambushed by opposing heroes.
You should also not launch yourself into the center of an enemy base or a low-life fight, when you can withdraw and heal before returning to the charge. Also,
never chase your opponents around the map. Even if an opposing hero appears to be almost dying, it does not mean that you must drop everything to run after him, risking your own life.
