After years and years of Warcraft III (I'm so glad that game doesn't have a /played command) I've had plenty of time to assess which hero is my favorite. All of them have their own charm, but the Dreadlord (a role often times filled by...

For the past several years I've wanted Dreadlord representation in Heroes of the Storm and I got it. As a cornerstone of my Warcraft III experience the undead Dreadlord hero was a matter of if, not when, for the game, and Blizzard...

Deathwing the Destroyer is a pretty popular Warcraft character. In addition to shaking the very planes of the World of Warcraft universe he's also become an avenue for fan art (especially given that he has a dragon and human form): and has ...

As a reminder, most MOBAs tend to release characters in rapid succession, especially when the game is in its infancy, but teams also eye old decaying choices that fall victim to power creep in the form of "reworks." Blizzard has been steppi...

Bless Blizzard for they had sinned: it had been one year and three months since the launch of the last evil Diablo character in Heroes of the Storm.  That is until Mephisto, Lord of Hatred, entered the fray this week. Having taken him ...

The Pan European Game Information board (PEGI) has announced plans to incorporate information labels on video game packaging to make it clear that said title contains in-game purchases. The new content descriptor will go alongside currently...

Surprise! Blizzard is kicking off Gamescom with a bang with Mephisto's entrance into Heroes of the Storm, their "Blizzard All-Star" MOBA. As long of the most-requested heroes to date he's a huge breath of fresh air, especially since Diablo&...

I've been waiting for a priest, specifically of the shadow variety, since Heroes of the Storm was first announced. While Anduin, poised to reclaim the glory of the alliance in the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, seemed like the m...

Blizzard has been doing a bang-up job with both Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch. What would normally be an innocuous cosmetic drop has now become a series of events, and most recently the former is elaborating on its GI Joe vs. Cobra-esqu...

[Update: You can find her spotlight below as well as this landing page detailing her basic abilities and heroics.] It's been a long, long time since the last Heroes of the Storm character. The development team has noted many times (includin...

There's no new character this week, but the latest Heroes of the Storm patch is one of the biggest updates of the year.  The main event is definitely the Mad Max-ian "Raiders of Warchrome" celebration, which brings new wasteland skins ...

If you haven't played Heroes of the Storm, find a friend that has and have them onboard you using the free client. I've been playing it since its alpha, and I've found it to be a refreshing, sometimes flawed truncated take on the MOBA genre...

Blizzard knows how to push skin events; they have it down to a science at this point. This latest one is worth taking a peek at too, as Blizzard is bringing the Mad Max flair into "Raiders of Warchrome." In addition to the existing Gar...

Although Blizzard has been undeniably changed by its association with Activision, there are glimmers of the old wild west community-centric company that frequently pop up. The Heroes of the Storm team (like Overwatch) has notably ackno...

Raynor strutted his stuff right away in the alpha of Heroes of the Storm, but was completely left in the dust due to power creep over time. Although he saw a small resurgence due to a glitch that took Blizzard several weeks to fix (his ...

Blizzard is smartly diving into what makes the Heroes of the Storm universe tick -- or specifically, what differentiates it from the rest of the Blizzard universe. It might be an "all-stars" rendition of Blizzard's properties, a greatest hi...

Heroes of the Storm doesn't have the numbers that other MOBAs do streaming-wise, but this past week proves that it absolutely deserves to hang. Culminating in a nail-biting Finals series between the Korean team Gen G. and the European Team ...

Back in July of 2016, a fan created an incredible concept for a skin in Heroes of the Storm -- Janitor Leoric. Based on the Diablo villain's moveset from the game, and subbing in mop for a mace and a bathroom for a makeshift crypt...

Although I'm a horde member at heart (my first World of Warcraft character was an Orc Warlock during the beta, and my first 1.0 and subsequent main until Burning Crusade was an Orc Shaman), I gravitated toward the Alliance at the behest of ...

Remember clicking on Starcraft and Warcraft RTS units over and over to get them to say funny things? Blizzard never really stopped doing that. Heroes of the Storm just introduced its Warcraft event this week (which ...

For the past several years fans have been clamoring for a Draenei character in Heroes of the Storm. To date it's one of the only major races from any of the represented games that hasn't been part of the Nexus universe -- that's finall...

Ever wonder how animal voices are grafted into video games and other forms of media? Sometimes it's a real animal doing all the legwork. Sometimes, you get Alan Tudyk to do chicken noises. With Heroes of the Storm though, Blizzard opted to ...

In case you don't play MOBAs (or another competitive genre), new characters are usually all the rage, but often times a team will look back at older roster members and tighten them up a bit to keep inline with the inherent power creep that ...

Blizzard is trying something new with Heroes of the Storm. The game has a few years under its belt and much of the lore as it pertains to its combatants is established, bu the time has come to start to explore more of the Nexus -- one of th...
