Heroes of the Storm Tips for Beginners
No Lane Restrictions or Last Hit Requirements
For people who are coming from League of Legends and Dota, it can be difficult to shake the idea that you have to be in a lane for most of the beginning of the game. Because Heroes of the Storm doesn’t have gold or items and the progression is based on team experience, only one person has to be in a lane in order to absorb the XP from the creeps dying. This means that you don’t have to last hit these creeps (unless you choose a talent that makes last-hitting beneficial) and you are often free to roam around the map depending on your role and what you’re comfortable with. At the very beginning of the game, when experience is most easily acquired in-lane, it’s best to have at least one player in every lane but as the game goes on, the team needs to group up for objectives and allow mercenaries to push the lanes.
