Ayy who playing it

Went Beta this week. It's alright, pretty casual but the different maps each with their own objective are fun, sorta SMNC-ish.

Only thing I really dislike about the game is the grind it takes to get new heroes. They usually cost around 10k Gold and you make between 10-30 per game (depending on if you win). Theres daily challenges like in Hearthstone that give you 200-300 and leveling each hero to 5 gives you another 500, but it still takes ages to reach enough to get a hero. I wanna say Im close to 100 games played now (playerlevel 22, 8 more to go till I can do ranked) and I barely reached 8k gold now.
Doesnt help the cause that the realmoney prices are horrible, 10€ for a hero? Ridiculous. That being said I bought the Nexus bundle for 35€ that comes with 8 heroes and a couple skins, I think I'll play this game long enough to warrant that purchase.
Its still a little rough around the edges but the core gameplay is really unique for the genre.

10k gold for a hero? Seems a ludicrous amount particularly for a casual game as well. :\

On top of that, newly released heroes (like Thrall with the last patch) are 15k for the first two weeks. Blurgh. They really have to finetune the economy around the game. Atleast they do a weekly rotation.

Not really the biggest Warcraft player, but I guess Thrall is quite big for Blizzard which would be the reasoning behind the (granted stupid) pricing.

So I spent my first 10k on Abathur since hes a very unique character and I feel like hes the symbol for everything new/different that Heroes brings to the genre. Playing him is basically like playing Commander in Battlefield, you do not physically appear in teamfights but assume control of other units and help them with buffs and damage.
Im pretty burned out on LoL and Dota right now simply because they dont have these unique gameplay styles to them (Dota to a lesser extent with gimmick heroes like Techies). With Hots theyre trying out some cool shit with heroes like Abathur, Azmodan or Murky (this month will be The Lost Vikings, which are 3 units that you control at once) and I can only imagine how hard it is for them to balance the game and still have these heroes feel relevant. I got into the game enough now to a point where Im really looking forward to the next update and what they're gonna buff/nerf, they're still in a phase where they're not shy to rework entire systems (last update saw 4 different hero revamps I believe).
Just for that alone I think the game is worth checking out if you're into any other big Moba.
