A few things we can learn from Heroes of the Storm

So recently HoTs has released a bunch of new content and I just wanted to say why I think league can learn a few things from them.

1. HoTs released a map nearly a year ago called 'Hanamura'. This map was a failure and after much feedback they decided to take the map down. Recently though, they have re-released it with a bunch of new content and fixes, personally as someone who has played HoTs alot it looks fantastic and alot of old issues have been fixed to the point where I can't wait to try it out. How does this affect league? Well, their used to be an old map called 'Dominion' in league that has been removed for quite a while now, alot of people want this map back (me included). It has been over a year and I believe if Riot where to listen to the community and pay more attention to maps other than Summoners Rift it could be a massive pay off. Moreover, Blizzard has many games it has to shift its focus across and still manages to pump out good content, while Riot needs to focus on league alone, nuff said.

2. The main reason I made this was a small recommendation to Riot. Blizzard has also released a new hero called 'Mephesto' and one thing I always love about their releases is that fact that Blizard mentions a heroes weaknesses and strengths right at the start of the video for example, 'Mephesto' is strong due to his 'AOE damage, being strong against enemy CC and the fact that he has sustain damage' while being weak due to being a 'melee caster(melee putting him at risk), being weak to burst damage and having low CC'. I love this concept as if you are ever struggling against a hero in HoTs simply look at their release video and see how to counter them. I got dominated by Mephesto? Ill pick an assassin to burst him down as he has no defenses, he also has low CC, perhaps Illidan as he will find it difficult to shut me down.

We need this more than ever, a small summary of a champions straightens and weaknesses. Especially since many people are complaining about low elo stompers like Garen and Tryndamere, mentioning their weaknesses could help alot for the community that is less familiar with the game (new players) or people who do not regularly play to keep up with changes.
