Greetings, a game I've been playing lately is Heroes of the Storm. This is a MOBA like League of Legends and DOTA 2, but much easier and less complex. There are no items, no runes, there are talents but they are selected on the fly in-game.
The furiosity of the action is exceeded only by its swiftness, and its swiftness is exceeded only by its furiosity. I have found the game to have far less potential for toxicity than other MOBAs as it is highly dependent on coordinated teamwork as opposed to individual technical skill.
This game has previously been in TAW some time ago. The playerbase is still quite large, and its gameplay enjoyable. I can see great potential for this game.
There can be rooms for quick play, unranked, some for noob ranked, for middle class ranked, for OP ranked, some ARAM, even some custom games. The game is free and easily accessible so it lends itself to clan-wide events like Game Night or even TAW @ War. The game is also exciting to watch and games could be streamed on TAWTV for the enjoyment of clanmates to see whether the HOTS division could successfully bring glory and honor upon TAW.
TAW's structure is highly compatible with this game. Field leadership can encompass squad leaders and fireteam leaders who can lead their cohorts into glorious combat. The nature of the game lends itself to focused improvement by way of qualified training instructors. Due to there being quite a lot of resources where players congregate, recruitment should not be terribly difficult.
This game has the potential to return to TAW. I have enclosed an interest form so that we may gauge whether there are clanmates who may seek to see this game return. If you are interested in playing this game, please use the form or reply to this thread.
Interest Form
Ah my old friend.
I'll just drop two pieces of advice for anyone wanting to bring HOTS back from my experience leading last time.
Split the battalion's and focus on two aspects. One for Aram/Casual (Most popular) and the other for Heroes Lounge / Competitive. We used to have a Heroes Lounge team, it's the last place HOTS has for esports, but it's very well organized and still very popular, we even have one of their streamers in ER!
The introduction of a dedicated Aram really helped bring this game back during the time we closed. Looking forward to seeing someone give it another go!
Good luck with it! I had fun playing for a scrim. Hope you can bring it back!
That sounds great and be fun to play with you guys
As we already discussed in private, I was the SUL the first time we had this song and dance. And the DC for a short while after that. It's a game that works in TAW, as we proved, and the people who are left playing it are very dedicated to it for the most part. So I wish you all of the best of luck with it. Get ready to lead or find yourself a charismatic leader, that definetly helps. Unless that guy gets backstabbed by some scheming drama lords.

HotS was a fun game to play. I hope we bring it back.

I did not play a lot of HOTS but its seems like a good game to spend some time on if you get it back in TAW I would definitely join couple of practices
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts." -Winston Churchill
It's definitely very easy to get into and even in hero select the game is very clear on the difficulty of each hero so people who were from other divisions joining in on events or just to play could easily pick up and go and still have a great time. It's not one of those where you have to stay on top of the meta or be constantly reading guides; maybe the OP ranked players do but I like quick play.
It appears we only need one more person to fill out the form in order to make the spin up happen, I encourage anyone who enjoys the game to fill it out!
let everyone know ArchonX and I just created HOTS channel on TAW Group chat we created on Blizzard you all welcome to join the group and the channel: here link: https://blizzard.com/invite/jPVR20kiONl
I've put in my transfer request with my CoC. We're going to do this.
Awesome man! I see Zyndra, you, and Norros are there in the new HOTS unit so I know it will be a success!
