Hey Guys!

HotS is coming out Tuesday, which means most gaming websites are writing their reviews of the game. I recently listened to two individuals from Rebel FM Arthur Gies (Polygon), and Mitch Dyer (IGN) speak about their time with HotS and realized a lot of what they said was flat out wrong.

Why should you care? Well, reviews can have a huge impact on the success of a game, and I think we should make sure that the game gets reviewed fairly rather than poorly via false information. If you interested in helping these reviewers fix their facts please listen to the podcast link below from [0:23:48 - 1:03:00]:

tldr- IGN and Polygon reviewers misrepresent HotS on their podcast, which gives a bad glimpse of the game's review.

EDIT #1 Some of you asked if I could print some of the comments they made, so I'll post below:

8 free heroes are on rotation.

Can’t wear a skin until level ten.

No way of knowing what the other team uses in matchmaking.

Objectives are random.

Mines map is never 45-55, it is always you lose hard or win hard.

Anub'araks Ult completely incapacitates a hero for 15 seconds.

XP is slow, about 100K per game.

Doesn’t have enough heroes.

60$ cant get 10 heroes.

Snowballing is too intense and teams that are snowballing immediately win.

If a team has the pirate cannons the opposite team cannot retaliate properly even with all creep.

Skilled players can lose to total noobs based off objective.

Removing objectives would make the game better.

Getting garden terror means a win.

Clicking on Minimap is bad.

Would not have enough heroes for HL at level 30.

5 bans on each side to conceivably ban all of your heroes.

ETC cheap and stupidest hero.

Edit #2

I think they have resorted to name calling now unfortunately, calling the fans rabid :'(.
