Dan Ryckert will be giving HOTS a shake soon. Let's prime shit up with some simple tips and shit! Yeah!
Dan here's 6 basics to start this off.
- At the start of the game you'll want to hang out in a lane and soak XP. At least one hero needs to be in each lane to get the XP for the entire team. Later on in the game it's better to group up as 5 players for safety and power most of the time.
- When an objective comes up drop what you're doing and go contest it. Objectives are important and it's almost always the right decision to fight over them with everything you got!
- Don't give up when behind, there's an underdog XP bonus for the trailing team and other catch up mechanisms, you can always pull off a comeback if you're able to take a fight. Don't get sloppy when ahead, you can always throw the game by losing fights.
- Play with a friend. It gives you an XP boost! Not only that the game is most fun that way.
- Probably should do some Vs AI to start off with before you get the hang of things. They're pretty easy to destroy consistently and you can get used to working with other humans doing that. It can still be fun because teamwork is fun. Some may disagree with this.
- Try every hero while they're free. That way you can get a handle on what they're capable of which is really useful when fighting with or against them.
There's my quick six pieces of advice. That should just about cover it. I could also talk about how to farm gold properly for heroes but I dunno if he's really interested in going in that deep yet. What advice would you give Dan?
