Heroes Of The Storm At PAX Prime 2014
Azmodan is a crazy lane-pushing monstrosity, so if you have enjoyed other push-centric heroes like Gazlowe get ready for a treat. Through a mix of area of effect damage and powerful summons, Azmodan can take out lanes with unbelievable speed.
In fact, during the round I played while other heroes went to battle during the “forced” team fight in the mines, I stayed in the lane and caused serious damage. Even though I wasn’t there for my teammates inside the mines, the amount of destruction Azmodan delivers makes staying in an undefended lane worth it. Objectives fell quickly - It may have been the fastest game of Heroes of the Storm I’ve ever played.
Azmodan is a ton of fun to play and adds some much needed playstyle variety to the ever-growing roster of popular Blizzard characters available in Heroes. With all the “staple” characters in the mix, it’s nice to see niche roles like summoning-pusher become available for players looking for play experiences outside the baseline building block templates.
While we’re probably still a ways away from launch, Heroes of the Storm continues to impress by serving up an accessible take on one of PC’s most popular genres.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
