The break-even point for minion vs hero XP seems to be about level 5, but most characters don't have the talents to effectively burst and destroy heroes quite so early. Correspondingly, later in the game there is a much higher focus on hero killing and team fights over simple laning. Compare that to a hero kill of 300 XP at level 1 and you'll see why many people prefer to lane rather than fight in the early game.Īssuming you gain roughly 1 level a minute, at level 10 you're looking at 566 XP for a minion wave versus 750 XP for a hero kill.
Waves come in a set of 3 footmen, 1 wizard, 3 archers.Ī full wave of minions at the start of the game is thus 452 XP.

Hero kills give a base level that is modified by being behind or in the lead. I strongly recommend anyone curious about the topic read the reddit link, everything is in detail there.
It depends on your level and enemy team's level.Īs for the team fights in the beginning, you'll notice more experienced players in the pro scene will avoid that initial 5v5 team fight as it has no real purpose (not related to any objective or lane pushing), and will go to lanes or group up for an early gank, and then go back to lanes.Įdit: This reddit post has some detailed answer about the numbers. Therefore its not possible to tell an exact number on these XP The experience gained from either of these actions are not constantĪnd is granulated for the purpose of preventing snowballing effect, Now, if we could just get Deckard Cain added to the roster, we'd be all set.The experience you get from killing creeps/towers/forts/heroes are granulated according to team level difference.

Ragnaros is no slouch in the lane either, shooting off meteors, blast waves, and swinging the legendary hammer Sulfuras around. You crush the little insects around you in true raid boss fashion! The towering lava titan can actually take control of allied forts (or destroyed forts) and become an immobile living fortress complete with powerful new abilities and a massive amount of health. While Varian is probably the more interesting character from a competitive standpoint (because he can be built as two different archetypes over the course of the game and is incredibly versatile), the real show-stealer is Molten Core's kingpin, Ragnaros.Ĭapturing the feel of a raid boss in a game like Heroes of the Storm is a real challenge, but after Blizzard tackled the two-player controlled Cho'gall I suppose I'm not really that surprised Ragnaros looks, feels, and sounds just like the iconic World of Warcraft raid monstrosity. legowarrior: I was under the impression that destroying the enemy fort meant that you side spawns catapults down that lane.
