4. Heroes of the Storm
The Best MOBAs, Ranked
Blizzard’s foray into the MOBA combines most of the company’s franchises in one game, including characters from World of Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft, and Overwatch. Released in 2015, it is ironic for Blizzard to enter the crowded MOBA space so late, considering the genre was born from a Warcraft III mod.
Heroes of the Storm is more casual than other MOBAs on PC, with no gold, items, or individual experience levels. Instead, the team has a shared experience bar and leveling up unlocks talents for each member. The game can be very divisive when compared to other MOBAs, but is a good starter for those new to the genre because it strips out most of the complexity and features familiar Blizzard characters.
Heroes of the Storm is free to play, but heroes must be unlocked through in-game currency or real money.
