Playing Heroes of the Storm on my 2011 Macbook Pro

It's been a week already and I'm really having a great time playing this game on my Mac. It's a new game from Blizzard and it combines all the characters from the company's games like Diablo, World of Warcraft and Starcraft. I'm aware of Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games but I'm really new to playing it. I just see my brother play a lot of these games but I really haven't grasped its gameplay. Add to that, there are a lot of controls to take note of, abilities to upgrade and other gamers to play nice with.

I initially thought I'll encounter some slowness playing it on my 5 year old Macbook Pro but Blizzard did a great job in optimizing the game for older computers. The SSD upgrade to my Mac may have helped but its the only hardware I changed in my computer. Installing the game is pretty straightforward. As long as you have Battle.net installed on your machine, you are good to go. For a review of the game, you can check out thisarticle from The Verge. I totally agree with it and Blizzard's take on the MOBA genre makes this a good entry level for new players like me who wants to try it out.

Heroes of the Storm is a free download available on Blizzard's site. The game is playable on your Mac or PC.

Here are some screenshots of the game from my Mac.
