The best thing Heroes can do to increase their player base is to decrease toxicity in the lower ranks.
Like if you agree.

hope you know that most of these low ranked players are just smurfs. and you can’t stop the toxicity tbh they can keep creating new accounts since there’s no such thing like not allowing the player to create anymore accounts in the game. wish if there was tho it would have been amazing

You cannot control the human nature. Toxicity will always be a part of everything social. But Blizz can contain it, and they did. They contained it on mostly the lower ranks. If you rank up, you’ll face toxic ppl more rarely.

As ppl stated. These kind of ppl are the CORE audience of this game. Same for sport. The competitive audience is more aggressive and due to that more toxic. We dont play MOBA to play a game(i play single player games for that) we play it to compete and win. And wining by any means necessary is how you continue to win.
Due to that we are aggressive to anyone who we think is making us lose. Even if we are in the wrong. No MOBA or FPS has non toxic community.
If i changed to other moba id expect similar comunity. They just go with this genre.

Not rly. These ppl know that arguing is gonna make em lose more. So you focus on your play and ignore the rest.Rarely do you comeback if you argue with your mates.
Anyone who has ever played team sports (even as a kid) knows arguing is a part of team sports. Toxicity is however not.
Go see a football match and see if teammates don’t comment on each others play.
Though HotS also has modes like AI where you can play with only bots on both sides.

The game was doomed to fail from the beginning since it is so heavily team oriented. In other mobas, you aren’t shackled to the skill level of your teammates and it is much easier to impact a match.
This explains it well Silencing the Storm - The Rise and Fall Of Blizzard's MOBA - YouTube
Blizzard does not care about stoping the toxic players, They want them to join and play cause all that matters to them is numbers. Considering the majority of players in this game are toxic, they can not and will not stop them cause they will lose too many players.
That is because the internet allows you to be anonymous. There is no chance of someone punching you in the face for being toxic in an online game.

In a whole weekend of Blizzcon, there is only 45min to Heroes of the Storm. Don t think the community will get bigger.

I hope you’re not right, but it doesn’t look promising.
True. If it was a basketball court the toxic kid would be thrown out plain and simple. That’s why it rarely happens in real sports.
There is competitive banter and then there’s the kind of anonymous death threats you only see in online games.

But i don t have a phone, sure i have but only for internet thing and little games when pooing. Am i Ok in 2019 ? I am one of the rarest person on earth without cellphone account.
Yup and yup. I dont think HOTS is even the most toxic MOBA out there. Not even close
I think dota has it for ranked games only.
But I get your point
Well it IS unusual but you also may be the smartest person out there, if true lol
