Will you come back and play if Blizzard revives the game?
HoTS 2026
No. I am permabanned after a BR guild had me reported for not throwing. I want that to be the first game removed from battlenet
uhhh based?
only if they released on Steam, I just don't want to download Blizzard client anymoe
I would play some. its been a while and i've slipped away from dota again.
HotS had some really ballsy hero designs.
What do you want to see in the rumored 2026 revival?
Microsoft IP's
Battletoads/master ceef/age of empires heroes.
bring back da SOVL
Yes.
Master Chief would be cool ngl
no because it sucks and died for a reason
now that the dream of major esports is now dead a new moba might be interesting to see if they focus on the fun. Also every moba needs a Turbo mode like Dota has, I just don't have it in me to waste 45 minutes plus on a match when I only get so much time to play. I'm willing to play 3-4 Turbo matches but not 1 long slog of a match.
I do not give a single fuck about post-WotLK Blizzard products
I feel like HotS was THE game to focus on fun. but of course greedy blizzard pushed esports bullshit and shut it down when that didnt work.
I feel the same way about overwatch, fun game on launch, fun sucked out for esports balance focus.
Back in college HotS is what me and the boys would play to cool down when Dota started tilting us to much, was a good time, but the game started feeling like it was going in a weird direction
Maybe if they modernized the engine.
Only if they remake matchmaking from ground up, because this shit is ridiculous level of kikery making the game unplayable.

rumored 2026 revival
literally not gonna happen
you can't even buy premium currency in some countries anymore and Blizzard outright said they're not planning to fix that
The game is only still up because it would be bad publicity to shut it down
they revived it once before, got rid of the paid shop thing, then reimplemented it, so i quit.
Even if miracle happens and HoTS will be revived, i probably not going back. I do not trust nuBlizz to do right to this game and not make it complitely pozzed/censored and put a sovl into it.
Who said I stopped playing?
playing Blizzard games outside of Diablo
Blizzdrones are seriously sad.
I still play this shit. I don't wait longer than 2 minutes for a ranked match. It's pretty fun but something about it makes me lose interest after a match or two. Doesn't have that stickiness that other games where you want to keep playing.
I'm pretty sure league does that now, but I haven't played since maybe season 3 or 4.
I used to play HotS, but moved to Overwatch a while ago. Is there a reason to even try HotS again? Didn't they dumpster it?
Hots servers are piggybacking SC2 infrastructure, so it cost blizzard next to nothing to keep it running forever
a bit more PvE content
the omega swarm stuff is fun but could use just a bit more
maybe if they unban me. i dont want to grind for heroes. idc that much about cosmetics, other than the luchador announcer.
other than the luchador announcer.
¡Bienvenidos a la catedral de las mejores batallas del Nexo! La arena está de bote en bote, ¡y arrancamos!
¡Faltan diez segundos!
Cinco.
Cuatro.
Tres.
Dos.
¡Uno!
¡Que se llame Lucía para que le digan Lucha!
El Guapo is the best
I'd play it right now if I wasn't banned
hots games in general were only 20min
30min was a long absolute slugfest of a match that went on for ages and many maps straight up could not even last that long because of the mechanics inherent to them
most matches were like 18-23min, a long match was taking down the throne at like 24-25min with a lot of matches basically being decided at 15-16min and it taking a bit of time for the mechanics to finish the team off with maybe 1 more chance to get back in the game before being dead
it doesn't really need a turbo mode because the games would be like 10min then
I had matches that last 40 minutes, wasn't a lot but it could happen.
Fuck you that one Samuro player who hogged all the coins on Blackhearts
you cant be playing diablo and calling other people blizzdrones
are u really trying to defend diablo 4 and diablo immortal?
I had 10 minute matches already if they were lopsided, I'd say an average match was 14-20 minutes, with 23 being verging on the long side. Agree with 30 being a rare slugfest.
I continue to have the game installed but haven't played it in ages because it's in Bnet and none of my friends play.
I want more diablo angels
Blizzard is a dead company. The only reason they're still in existence is because they have an addicted playerbase playing an almost 3 decade old game.
But enough about Valve
no. game sucks and overwatch heroes made it irreconcilably shit.
you mean wc3?
Some of them were good.
Zarya and Dva made the game better imo
a fortnite version of a dota-like pretty much i dont want to only see blizz ips
Ana is fine
wrong genre dota likes will always end up becoming sweaty
