Just a few months ago, The Pokemon Company made a big deal about a special stream that would showcase an upcoming project, that a lot of people thought would involve the next generation of Pokemon or a remake of a beloved entry. Instead, it...

Heroes of the Storm has been down in the past, but not out. As someone who has played it nearly every week since its alpha, it's very hard to actually call it "down" actually. Although Blizzard unceremoniously declared that it was winding d...

"What can [one] do against such reckless hate?" is probably what the Heroes of the Storm developers were thinking after they unleashed the "weather anomaly" mechanic into the game several weeks ago. Although the hero Mei has been a bon...

Heroes of the Storm is coming up on its second year of "maintenance mode," an era in which Blizzard has greatly reduced the number of people on its development team and has dropped all official esports support. It's also still one of my mos...

After a long hiatus, both a tank hero and an Overwatch character have re-invaded Heroes of the Storm. Mei probably isn't the first pick for a lot of players when it comes to crossovers, but she slots in quite nicely with the crew ...

Remember when select people based an entire leak off of whether or not the "same tree" was found in a reflection? This is kind of like that, but in-game! Taking to Reddit, f1bermau5 shared a discovery that seems to imply that Heroes of the ...

Every so often, dreams do come true. A few years back, an artist came up with an idea for the "Janitor Leoric" skin for Heroes of the Storm, and Blizzard made it happen. Now, I hope the same miracle occurs for the similarly clever "Professo...

It's hard to believe that I've been playing Heroes of the Storm consistently, every month, since it was available in alpha form in 2014. I'd have to really think about it, but it might be my most-played non-MMO title of all time. ...

Yes, Heroes of the Storm is still around. Although I wish the development team had more resources and backing from Blizzard, the team that does remain is doing a fantastic job of keeping everything fresh, delivering new events, me...

Heroes of the Storm is continuing its "Nexus Anomaly" concept, which drastically alters various bits of the game as a form of experimentation to keep the game fresh. If the community takes a liking to a particular feature, it could sti...

[Update: Blizzard has extended the free hero period to April 13.] As publishers continue to fight for the attention of everyone currently quarantined due to coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, more and more "free" offers are popping up on vari...

As promised, Blizzard just implemented the "Toys 2" event in Heroes of the Storm, which brings back the popular "Toys" celebration. The gist? You're getting a free pack of challenges that unlock cosmetics, as well as the always-popular...

2019 saw the release of four Champions for League of Legends thus far, a step up from 2018's three, and that's just dealing with League of Legends. Outside of their main cash cow, Riot is working hard on constantly updating the Auto-Ba...

I've been playing Heroes of the Storm for over four years now. There are very few games that manage to keep me captivated that long, but alas, the Heroes team managed to grab me where so many other MOBAs haven't. While others chase DOTA's f...

Battleborn, already dead for all intents and purposes, will be officially dead in a year's time. Gearbox's doomed hero-shooting MOBA will be taken offline in January 2021. 2K Games has revealed its plans to pull the plug on Battleborn's ser...

During the Heroes of the Storm deep dive panel at BlizzCon this week, the Heroes team took the opportunity to focus mostly on Deathwing, the "most requested hero ever," but there's a few tidbits near the end that will probably res...

[Update: Blizzard briefly acknowledged Heroes during the opening ceremony today, confirming that Deathwing is going to be free for BlizzCon pass holders. All heroes will be free until November 10.] Despite the fact that it doesn't get ...

Heroes of the Storm is not dead. Although development has slowed down considerably (there have only been a few new characters out in 2019 compared to the usual cadence of "a ton") and the esports arm has been shut down, there's still a...

League of Legends turns 10 years old this month, and Riot Games has a lot of news to share as part of the celebration. Like, a lot. Here's a full rundown.

It feels like just yesterday when I was running Ryze trying for Pentakills while a friend of mine ran Fiddlesticks in mid. If that's gibberish to you I completely understand, as not everyone has played League of Legends, much less all the w...

Bust out your bobbed hair and turn up the jazz, because Heroes of the Storm is seemingly warping back to the 1920s. As teased on the game's official Twitter account, the new event seems to be called "The Scarlet Heist," and will provide new...

League of Legends has earned a lot of cachet over years, and is in part responsible for the worldwide rise of eSports. You could argue that it's already had its due with multiple documentaries, specials, and general interest (and tired) "eS...

During the most recent stream of The International, the biggest eSports tournament in history, Valve showed off a trailer of a brand new Dota 2 Hero: Snapfire. Abilities and role are not explicitly stated or shown, but based on the tra...

Heroes of the Storm is having an interesting year. Although a lot of people aren't happy with the way Blizzard decided to ramp down development, I've actually been enjoying the game on a regular basis, just as frequently as I have in the pa...

One of Heroes of the Storm's most popular developers, Kevin "Cloaken" Michael Johnson, left the team after Blizzard announced that it was curbing the game's production, and in April, left Blizzard altogether. Why am I telling you this?...
