Getting Started With Heroes Of The Storm

The real stars of Heroes of the Storm are all the different characters from the varied Blizzard franchises you get to play in one hectic arena.

Specialist heroes are the unique snowflakes of the Heroes world. Each Specialist is very different from most other things you'll see in the game, so if you enjoy Sylvanas you may hate playing The Lost Vikings.

However, after trying out a few different heroes and cycling through some of the maps it's clear that whatever misgivings I had with LoL thankfully did not carry over.
