>looked like a fun, more casual take on the genre,
it is, its really fun, but its more complicated than it should be, because you have 14 maps; so on top of balancing team comps for counters you have to pick heroes based on the maps as well and know how to play those maps, on top of heroes having two ults and several talents builds that can change their entire gameplay instead of each character having a singular item build and play, as a result you kinda need to know 80% of the heroes. theres also much more emphasis on playing as a TEAM and SKILL rather than watching the carries jack off because their numerical value is obscene, and that doesnt appeal to a lot of people; i dont really see the appeal of doing anything other than playing a carry in lol or dota, because thats basically sitting the cuck chair, meanwhile hots has really insane tanks and supports that are really fun to play
