Why I stopped playing Heroes of the Storm, and why I doubt I'll play anytime soon.

Yes, I fully understand the game is still in beta and therefore is not “finished” by Blizzard standards.

Setting the stage for making yourself look like a total jackass. Okie dokie.

Yet for some reason hots has performance issues that I would not come to expect from the video game juggernaut that is Blizzard Entertainment. Regardless of video settings, both on ultra and low, the game simply refuses to run above 60fps consistently. Disconnections are frequent, and the process of reconnecting feels like a trip to the DMV. These technical issues have persisted from day one, and I have seen zero effort on behalf of Blizzard to make any attempts to fix them. I can understand and accept/forgive bugs here and there but these kinds of problems affect gameplay far too severely to go unaddressed.

It's not them, it's you. Either something is up with your computer or something is up with your ISP.

Hots has a larger potential for toxicity than it's rival games

Yeah because being able to bitch and whine to other team in league and DotA doesn't contribute to the toxicity of the game. At all. Ever.

So much so, that a player who believes they are superior to their teammates will feel as if they are being held back due to the lack of options for a single player to carry their team as a whole.

A team based game based around....team work? Get the fuck out.

founder's pack is clearly about gaining access to the game

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Why has there been so much development in the way of monetization for this game while not in areas that improve actual gameplay if not for the sole purpose of milking Blizzard intellectual property for every last gold doubloon available

Please name the Blizzard employee who is at your house, putting in your credit card info, and forcing you to make purchases. Unless of course you're forcing yourself because video games are how you measure your self worth and you want to point the blame at others instead of accepting the fact that buying characters is a WANT and not a NEED.

grasping desperately

One of the most successful and well-known gaming companies in the world is desperate? Are you sure you're not retarded?

Needless to say I won't be playing hots again until these problems are fixed

No one cares man. At all. You're not some special little snow flake whom the world revolves around.

The logic for your argument is crap. Your writing abilities are crap for an adult so i'm assuming you're a teenager. Given the amount of whine in your post over relatively little shit and fickle things i'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're very sheltered as well.

TLDR: Games in beta, quit bitching, be more constructive with your feedback, grow up.
