I don't think you'll find many moba players saying the maps are not different enough in hots since they are used to playing on just one map in other mobas. Though maybe someday they could add alternative game modes, like a king of the hill game mode, just as an example, but that definitely wouldn't happen for years and probably never.This is my first MOBA I've taken past a tutorial so permit me to make this observation.
After 20 levels does it feel like the boards need more variety? it feels like every board is the same ,and they just change up the theme.
Kind of getting bored.
I don't think it will "never" happen due to the SC2 engine. I know they've toyed around with the idea instead of loading the replay file from 0:00 that they establish a checkpoint system. So you can basically load the game state from maybe 1:00 in the past and use the replay catch-up system to load the final minute. Effectively letting you quickly drop in/out of games. Why there is a hard limit of 12 players per game I'm not sure but they've also removed the SC2-ism where if one player lags it lags the entire game for everyone so all spectators wouldn't lag the actual players.I wish we could spectate like in Hearthstone, that would be pretty boss.
Edit: I know that will never happen because engine etc, which is a shame.
Yeah, I guess I'm not into MOBAs then, don't get the attraction. Even something like Arathi Basin would be cool just so it's not the same thing every time.I don't think you'll find many moba players saying the maps are not different enough in hots since they are used to playing on just one map in other mobas.

Currently you can't go wrong with Kael'thas(possibly going to get a nerf? something needs to happen), Jaina, Valla, Johanna, Anub, Rehgar, Uther, and Zeratul. But Zera has a really high skill cap.Started playing Heroes a couple months ago and bought the starter pack (Raynor, Malfurion, and Muradin). Hit level 30 the other day but only have 4 heroes (those 3 + Valla). I listen to a Heroes podcast and they mentioned a tier list. Where/who puts together this tier list? Is there one that is "best"? Any/all help would be appreciated in helping me decide on the heroes to get. Sitting on 43K gold and don't want to mess up any buys.
In my experience this is only somewhat true. If you pick Tyrande as our only healer, you'll get bitched at. If you first pick Nova, you'll get bitched at. I'd imagine different MMRs have semi-different metas similar to Dota but I'm not really sure. Maps and counter-picks somewhat come into play but usually its just "That hero is shit and makes no sense in this lineup" argument.People will yell at you no matter what you pick. Bitching about the map, the comp, counter picks, etc.
