Heroes of the Storm is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and macOS, which released on June 2, 2015. Players can choose from different game modes, which include playing against computer-controlled heroes or other players. Initially, no heroes are permanently available for use; however, players may choose from a list of heroes that are free to use from a weekly rotation. By using gold coins, the in-game currency, or through micro-transactions, they can gain permanent access to a hero. There are 85 heroes in the game as of January 2019, divided into four separate roles: Assassin, Warrior, Support, and Specialist. These heroes include one multi-class hero. In addition, there are currently 15 maps available to play, each of which has different objectives to secure, with some having different victory conditions. Experience points, which can be gained by being nearby enemy units when they’re killed, are shared across the entire team. When a team reaches a certain experience point threshold, every hero on that team levels up, acquiring slightly amplified powers. Every few levels, players may select a talent which offers a new ability, or augments an existing one. This levelling system emphasises the importance of teamwork and planning, since a player’s action can affect the whole team.
