#Heroes of the storm haunted mines update#
The multi-layered idea still has promise, but if it comes back, I'm hoping to they update parts of it to make it a better experience overall. Both teams got to play with the Bone Golems, which made the prize of fighting for them seem less flashy, even if having the stronger ones was important to winning. It required the most teamwork to really thrive, but didn't provide that sense of triumph that came from a hard-earned fight in the mines. If one map had to go, I'm glad it was this one the multi-tiered map was a great idea with some rough execution. Blizzard removed it from public rotation a couple of months ago as it introduced the Towers of Doom map.

These rankings are based on fun, not balance, and I think we’re all better off thinking about Heroes and MOBAs as a whole that way. They all have this great way of making victory feel righteous, and their friendliness dulls the sense of defeat. I had a much harder time ranking the maps in Hereos than I did its heroes almost all of them have left me with memories of intense games where capturing an objective lead to a victory I shouldn’t have had. These maps, with their borrowed and patchwork aesthetics, tie into Heroes’ philosophy about fun over discipline the game is a theme park, and its maps are the rides. Heroes has ten maps, each with different ways to tackle the main objective of destroying an opponent’s Core structure. Other games carefully balance a single map, pruning its edges for balance and giving it a makeover when necessary. With each consecutive golem phase, the Bone Golems will continue resurrecting from the spot where they were previously killed.Heroes of the Storm actively throws several MOBA conventions out the window, and this includes the genre’s slavish devotion to perfection. After a certain amount of time, the undead will respawn in the mines. At the start, the Bone Golem resurrect in its team's base and will walk down the lane smashing buildings and enemies until its defeated.

Each Bone Golem's health is dependent on the amount of skulls the team collected in the mines, with the team that collected over 50 skulls having stronger one in strength as well. When all 100 skulls have been collected, Bone Golems will resurrect at both bases, in different lanes. To collect Cursed Skulls, a hero will need to walk over them when they appear. Each undead drops two Cursed Skulls when killed (with a total of 70 skulls from the Undead Army) and the Grave Golem drops 30 Cursed Skulls over the course of the fight against him, with 12 dropping when he's killed. The announcer will give a warning, 30-seconds before the mines open.Īn Undead Army and Grave Golem will spawn periodically inside the mines and drop 100 Cursed Skulls. The unique objective revolves around collecting as many Cursed Skulls in order to summon the stronger Bone Golem.
