Blizzard Giving Away 20 Heroes in Heroes of the Storm

Heroes of the Storm is going to launch the 2.0 patch really soon, which promises to bring a lot of big change to their casual-friendly MOBA. If you’re a long-time veteran of the game, you’re probably looking forward to seeing all the exciting new ways the game will (presumably) be improved, and if you’re new or haven’t ever played before, well… you don’t really have a reason to care, right?

Wrong! While that may have been true before, now would be the perfect time to start hammering away at the game: because as soon as the 2.0 patch launches, Blizzard is going to give every player 20 heroes, absolutely free.

Given that there are 64 heroes in the game total, that’s nearly a third of the game’s content, given away absolutely free.

Even better, you don’t just get a bog-standard list of free heroes: rather, Blizzard will let you pick from four packs that have 20 different types of heroes: Assassins, supports and specialists, Bruisers and tanks, and a “Flex” pack that has a little of each.

• The Assassin Bundle contains: Alarak, Chromie, Falstad, Greymane, Gul'dan, Kael'thas, Kerrigan, Li-Ming, Lunara, Nazeebo, Nova, Raynor, Sylvanas, The Butcher, Tracer, Tychus, Valeera, Valla, Zeratul, and Zul'jin.
• The Support & Specialist Bundle contains: Abathur, Auriel, Brightwing, Chen, Dehaka, E.T.C, Johanna, Kharazim, Li Li, Lt. Morales, Lucio, Malfurion, Medivh, Muradin, Rehgar, Stiches, Tassadar, Tyrael, Uther and Zarya.
• The Tank & Bruiser Bundle contains: Alarak, Anub'arak, Artanis, Arthas, Chen, Diablo, Dehaka, Illidan, Kharazim, Leoric, Muradin, Ragnaros, Rexxar, Samuro, Sonya, Stiches, Thrall, Varian, Xul and Zarya.
• Finally, the Flex Bundle contains: Abathur, Arthas, Azmodan, Brightwing, Diablo, E.T.C, Greymane, Johanna, Kerrigan, Li Li, Li-Ming, Lt. Morales, Nazeebo, Rehgar, Rexxar, Sylvanas, The Lost Vikings, Tychus, Varian and Zul'Jin.

If you needed a reason to give the game a try, you have it now… even if those names mean nothing to you, it still adds up to free content. Plus, this is a limited time offer, and while Blizzard hasn’t specified when it’ll end, no doubt it won’t last long.

So it’s now or never, ladies and gentlemen.
