Heroes of the Storm Alpha

Heroes of the Storm, the rather exciting looking new MOBA themed game from the labs of Blizzard is officially rolling out its closed Beta in the Americas and a number of European regions. Collecting over 20 years worth of Blizzard gaming characters and creatures, the game puts a fun spin in the genre by including characters from multiple game genres which influence play style directly.

Players that are lucky enough to get into the new Beta test build of the game will be treated to four of the games latest features. The new battleground is a desert themed arena where the teams battle for control over powerful weaponry. The Thrall, a new hero and Warchief of the Horde, the newest of the melee assassins to enter the battlefield with a slew of abilities to be put to use.

A new Hero League game mode is a new Ranked Play mode that enables players that are a minimum level of 30 with at least 1o heroes to queue alone or as a party of up to five to take place in ranked matches against other similarly ranked players.

Finally is the Draft Mode which is all about building the best and most reactive team to demolish your opponent and tackle the objectives on the battlefield.
