Blizzard Entertainment as a whole in its current state non-withstanding, this was a game I enjoyed quite a bit during its peak. I'd never really played the genre before and it was certainly fun during the earlier days of it. I enjoyed the simplicity of not having to worry about items and that the game could still be won from the losing end of a hero match-up if the map's gimmick was ignored by the "better" team.

However, I can only say so much about HotS without addressing the fact that the modern, pre-lawsuit BE had a habit of taking other games' concepts and making a prettier version of the same idea before abandoning it and HotS was no different. They had horrible balancing issues that took ages to patch and eventually the game was relegated to a few new maps and dozens of new heroes when Overwatch was first announced and then quietly snuffed out.

Currently, I believe the game is still playable but will receive no major future updates.
