Simple enough, but a tip for melee players: you don't need to actually fight.
This refers to sitting in one of the map's lanes near enemy minions, and collecting XP as they die. HotS shares experience across the team, and you'll hear the term 'soaking XP'. Tiny advantages will snowball, and holes in your defence will be inexorably widened.
If you leave it be then the minion waves will fight to a standstill, but once heroes start interfering all over the shop then that natural flow gets disrupted. It sounds a bit pseuds-corner, but the best way to think of a HotS map is like a miniature ecosystem. Over time fortifications gradually run out of ammo from killing minions, and your hero's damage against them will increase – but beware! Attacking any structure without minions around is asking for trouble. Minions spawn in waves from the core and head across each lane towards the enemy core.ĭefensive fortifications get stronger the closer you get to the core, with the final barrier being big castles called 'Keeps' – once enemy Keeps are destroyed, your minions pushing that lane will begin to spawn with powerful catapult troops. So if you're curious this is how the game's basic mechanics work, and their not-so-obvious ripples across matches.Ĭommon elements for every match include each team's core and minions, various lanes fortified with defensive structures, and watchtowers. There's a lot less 'stuff' to learn, but the accessibility hides a lot of depth. This means a lot of people describe HotS as a simple game – which isn't quite true. It's a different beast entirely to other Mobas and one of the big changes is streamlining a lot of their 'classic' mechanics.
