Heroes of the Storm - Heroes Lounge Season 7 Signups Have Now Opened!


Heroes Lounge Season 7 Signups Have Now Opened!

Posted: 28 May 2018 12:31 PM PDT

The European amateur league for Heroes of the Storm opens its doors for its 7th season! To sign up, just head on over to the Heroes Lounge Website. Whether you are a full team, a partial team, or just a free agent, players of all level are welcome to sign up. Sign ups close on midnight ending July 1st before the seaoson officially kicks off on the 16th.

Last season was our largest yet with over 170 teams competing for title of Heroes Lounge playoff winner, currently still underway! We are hoping for season 7 to be even bigger. You can check out the all the important dates on our Schedule Page as well.


If you have never heard about us, or what we do, we are a league for anyone who wants to experience Heroes of the Storm in a competetive setting. If you don't have a full team, or are just an individual who wants to participate, we find a team of players for you that match your ability as best as possible. All of our teams are then seeded into 5 divisions in order to give everyone involved the best possible experience. Each week, each team is given a Bo3 match to play at a time that best suits you. This means that even the busiest schedules can have the chance to play.

If you have never experienced Heroes of the Storm in a team based, competitive setting, I truly recommend you give it a go. As u/khaldor put it, its "Heroes of the Storm, the way its meant to be played".


If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask, and feel free to head on over to our discord for discussions, nice people, and of course Endless. Sloth. Memes.

Hope to see you in season 7!

gl, hf

NEWS: Twitch Drops Event Great for Streamers & Players

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 07:55 AM PDT

... Shocker.

But some quick stats. Using Twitch Stats Source, looking at the last 30 days.

  • Before Twitch drops (and before Mid Season Brawl), "normal" total viewer numbers look like they were about 5k per hour on average and 8k at peak.
  • After MSB and with Twitch drops, that's more like 10k average and 17k peaks. Double... seemsgood.
  • Personally, I've received 7 loot boxes so far. Easiest loot of my life.

Beyond the obvious benefits (streamer $s and player loot), more viewers also mean more player education and community engagement.

Keep it rollin' Blizz plz

[Edit: numbers are "per hour", not total.]

Edit #2: so this post blew up a bit more than I expected, so here are some tips for those having trouble getting loot.

Per the Blizz post,

Rare Loot Chests:

Tuning into any Heroes of the Storm stream anytime between 9:00 AM PDT June 12 – 11:59 PM PDT July 9 for a combined 3 hours will earn you a Rare Loot Chest!

Watch your favorite Heroes streamer or look around for some new entertainment! You don't need to stay on one specific channel for the entire 3-hour requirement.

In order to receive these legendary rewards, you'll need to be sure that your Twitch.tv and Blizzard accounts are properly linked. Here's how:

Log in or create an account on Twitch.tv.

Navigate to the Settings menu by clicking your account name in the top-right corner of the home screen.

Navigate to the Connections tab of the Settings menu.

Find the Battle.net section then follow the given instructions after selecting a region and clicking Connect.

When connecting accounts, be sure that you're currently logged into the Blizzard account on which you'd like to receive your rewards.

Still new to HOTS, but I'm proud of this 1v4 Artanis quad-kill

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 08:19 PM PDT

Still learning how to play Artanis, but I am happy with the result.

Yeah I know going in was a terrible idea, but it was pretty satisfying regardless.

Alarak laser QoL very much needed

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 08:40 AM PDT

I've googled around for a solution to stop the hero auto priority clicking when a non-hero target is next to them as you need them to be in the center for the quest. And surprisingly there is none, just old unaddressed posts dating back to when it is implemented.

As an Alarak main I've had so many occasions where it would have been a triple laser with the auto priority taking precedence over your mouse accuracy ruining a simple quest. It usually ends up with them either in a 4 clump for you to get the quest or somehow them miraculously lining up for you.

Please Blizzard can priority hero targeting be togglable as heroes like Diablo would need it for his charge but heroes like Alarak suffer greatly from its implementation too.

Who do you consider to be the most Well-Designed Hero?

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 03:46 PM PDT

It seems difficult to frequent this sub without stumbling upon the daily complaints regarding "broken hero designs" or "unfun design mechanics"...and while discussions such as those can be good, I'd argue it's equally important to recognize the opposite side, and talk about the heroes that were done right.

When you think of really great Hero Design, who comes to mind? What's the standard that other heroes should be held to, and why?

[POLL] Do you want original nexus heroes to Hots?

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 12:41 PM PDT

Poll = https://www.strawpoll.me/15965838

So with the new comic we get more look on Orphea and Lady of Thorns and with the datamined picture and voice files(?) on Orphea i guess it's time for a poll. I am very curious about this. I for one started out in LoL and then Dota 2 but quickly abandoned them for my dream game, yeah that is correct, Heroes of the Storm when i got the chance to play it in Beta. I obviously got hooked immediately because i love this idea to see & play my favorite heroes and villains from Blizzards well established and well known games. Games that i played in my childhood in 1996 to now.

I am not against getting original nexus heroes (Lady of Thorns looks cool with her mount and lance!) to this game but i think they should be added in a few years and have the focus on the classic & well known heroes of Blizzards oldest universes. Maybe release a Nexus original hero once per each year?

Anyway, i have to cut off this wall of text now. Vote in the poll and let's discuss in the comments what you guys think. :-)

The Hots dev team have NOT confirmed or said anything about adding original Nexus heroes to Hots. Just so you guys know.

Can Brightwing get some mana cost reduction when going Q build?

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 02:42 AM PDT

I know BW is niche currently and Q build even more so, but almost every other hero gets mana costs for an ability lowered when reducing its cooldown. [Dream Shot] is not that bad, but if you're good at hitting things you run oom too quickly.

Hammer BFG in aram...

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 03:04 PM PDT

Blizzard please take either hammer out of aram or take orbital BFG. Once they hit 20 unless you can win fast it will take out your minions and structures it's really hard to deal with cause hammer has protection of all kinds and it's one lane so you can't drive him to move sieges up and kills you unless you can get to him and they don't have a healer. Sorry if it seems ranty.

Shuffle Pick being forced in custom games is annoying

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 07:46 AM PDT

I have a local group that frequently gets together on LAN. We'd like to have our own custom games on one lane maps where we pick our heroes. We used to be able to do this, but this shuffle pick thing has been forced on us - even if we select draft, it goes through draft and then forces shuffle pick again. Super annoying.

Another annoying thing is that our favorite 3 v 3 map is the single lane Hanamura. Why are the single lane maps rotated out? just leave them all in and let us choose our heroes on all maps please!

More Lucio skins please!

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 02:31 PM PDT

Lucio is my favorite healer to play but his lack of skins keeps me from playing him as much as I would like. Vain, I know.

A roller disco look would be awesome, or even a figure skating skin.

I'm tired of using the pink frog, please Blizz!

Request: More Lil' Skins

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 09:36 AM PDT

Seeing this post from XrayEJ about crocheting a little Diablo plushie, in addition to my HotS Mystery Mini Diablo figure I got from this past Reddit Santa, made me think it would be fun to have more skins in this style to go along with Lil' Ragnaros.

That is all :)

Can we get some globe generators in try mode?

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 07:27 PM PDT

I've noticed that if you want to tinker with quests that require globes in try mode you have to do camps or wait for waves to die. Yeah this is easier with ability to speed up the game, but why not just add some low CD globe generator spots in the jungle?

Edit and P.S.: In try mode Fenix constantly drops planet cracker on the heal target dummy. Not related, but I noticed it and it's funny.

Varian Shattering Throw bug explained

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 08:16 AM PDT

Squad is bad, send help

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 03:46 PM PDT

Hi all,

Four of my friends and I started playing team league a couple of months ago, and we're pretty bad. We've worked our way down to the lower silver range, but we continue to lose 60%+ of our games so I'm sure we'll keep dropping.

We're doing our best to improve, reading/watching many of the guides recommended by this sub, watching our replays together and working on our communication/coordination, trying to better understand drafting, playing heroes we're unfamiliar with vs AI and QM so that we have some idea what they do when we play against them, etc. etc.

We're doing all of that, but we recently uploaded our history to hotslogs and I'm wondering if, to more experienced eyes, there are any obvious trends that emerge. Are we drafting really poorly? Under-performing in any particular way? We're open to any and all criticism or advice!

Also, if this is the wrong place to post this or if it's generally not kosher let me know, I thought about posting it on /r/NexusNewbies, but that sub isn't very active so I thought I'd try here first.

Thanks in advance!

Are we finally going to be getting OG heroes? Orphea looks like she could fit the bill.

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 10:38 AM PDT

I certainly hope Orphea will be playable at some point. She looks like she could be our first original-generation hero.
