But I'm not a starter? Is it just because I didn't own them?
They certainly weren't starter heroes before

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Possibly because you never got them after they made them starter heroes. I know I ran through the tutorials on my wife's account and the options were Jaina or Tyrande.

Maybe that could be it. It's weird because I just played a couple weeks ago for the mount. Oh well

Yeah the community isn't as shitty seemingly.
It's just a different game than LoL and dota. no items and no last hitting. games are shorter. more focus on teamfights and countering picks and less focus on individual characters.
everyone is probably ingrained in whatever game they have chosen for the past few years at this point though so to each their own.

Its completely unsatisfying by comparison to how much influence you can exert compared to LoL/Dota for sure. I think Heroes suffers for not being advertised as different than the other two games they chose to compare it to. Its more like a WoW battleground / hero brawler with a slightly dynamic timeline of map events. Sure there is structure and lanes, but they are so different they don't even serve the same purpose between the titles.
With no inventory, and no gold, and shared team power, it suffers by being compared to the other titles rather than being seen as a just a flavor/style of gameplay that used the hero/champ design but little else from its inspirations.

So I decided to give this a try once more. It's much more polished, but it's like Hearthstone - the core gameplay ain't very deep, no matter how many loot and leveling systems they slap on top, they can't hide the fact. One thing I concede is that their hero designs seem to be really unique, but compared to Dota, your abilities also have much less impact.

The abilities themselves are very "smoothed out" on the power curve (you don't have characters with all their power in one ability and a bunch of junk abilities, really). I also still don't enjoy the feel of combat much - there's just not any good feedback or feeling you get from the combat compared to LoL/Dota/Dota2/OW/etc., I think they way underestimated how important that was and kinda flubbed it and never looked back.
Some of the characters are interesting mechanically and theoretically fun, but that super bland, soft combat feedback just ruins it.

I didn't enjoy the game at all when playing solo in PuG groups.
Last night a few friends logged on to show me how to play. Our 5 man team vs the AI and it was actually pretty entertaining. It was neat playing Lucio in a different game while using the same abilities.
