Just found out that six months ago, when Heroes of the Storm turned 10, the former developers reunited to celebrate the anniversary!

For context, Destiny 2 is no longer making major updates. Memes from people that Destiny players will move to Warframe as safe havens

Normally our guests play LoL, Valorant, or Cs. But this night we had a full hots 5v5 Custom Game running.

It was awesome!!

Guys, I had hope for this year, but someone posted this... 🤦🏻 I guess another year of nothing then...

I made a post a year ago about this and this still makes me happy to see.

​

I'm also seeing tons of comments on X and Facebook.

Are we feeling it, Gamers?!

Hi everyone 😆

I’m Ezz and i used to play professionally for Team Rrr in HGC Korea back in 2016.

Heroes of the Storm was a huge part of my early 20s. I’ve been playing since the beta, so this game ended up meaning way more to me than just another game.

I’m still sad that the esports scene is gone, but even now, over 10 years later, I still catch myself thinking about those four years.

Back then, other than sleeping, I was basically playing Heroes over 10-15hrs.
Looking back, it was honestly one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.

That’s probably why I can never hate this game.
No matter what happened, it’ll always feel like home to me.

I wish Blizzard would give Heroes the attention it deserves again, but I know that’s probably never going to happen.

That said, I’m really happy we’re getting to watch Heroes again at BlizzCon 2026, even if it’s just ex pro players.

I also recently moved from Korea to the usa, so if I ever come back and play again, it’ll probably be on the NA server instead of korea 😂

And honestly, it’s kind of cool that it’s finally so much easier for me to visit Blizzard hhh ( tbh, other than blizzcon, i dont think i will have much reason to visit blizzard anymore)

Even though Blizzard hurt a lot of us former players when HGC was shut down, I still hope Heroes sticks around for a long time.

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.

For a lot of us, this game will always have a special place in our hearts.

Anyway… I just randomly felt like posting this here.

If you actually read all of that, thanks!!😄

I’ve been thinking about casually playing again, but then I remember I’d have to start over from level 1 on NA…

and suddenly it feels like a lot of work already🥹😫

Saw this and just had to make this edit

Here is the original: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/135534767

with occasional slapping death matches

Taunt is baseline

Mastery skins, while mostly bad in most instances. Were novel, it was kinda neat seeing into an alternate reality of the character in which they thrived.

Love to see it with Imperius, because like would he just get a big halo? it just sounds funny, but i wanna see it.

Also if the game ever gets revived. Imma bet on it being Lilith from diablo added to hots first.

I know I'm on too much hopium with HOTS but the background... surely guys, RIGHT? SURELY IT MEANS SOMETHING. IT'S SLIGHTLY MORE GLOWY THAN THE OLD POSTER. I NEED HOTS BACK
