Updated Hero Build Sites for all Players

[DreadKnight]

Hey Guys ! Below I have posted some links to valuable sites containing Hero builds, map strats and talent selections

My Main go to and recommend for all members:

Heroes of the Storm News and Guides - Icy Veins

This is largely recommended as it contains multiple builds for various different play-styles for each hero !



This site I mainly use to see top builds for current meta and current Hero Tier lists, it also contains valuable information on skill rotations and alternative talent selection for those builds:

http://www.tentonhammer.com/articles/heroes-of-the-storm-tier-list



Last but not least, HOTSLOGS, mainly used for checking Hero talents by statistical factors (i.e popularity). This site collects the data of all uploaded games and compiles them into a database to show what players are picking what talents on which maps and the win % value with each of those heroes/ talent choices.

I hope this helps, if anyone has any questions regarding these sites or suggestions for sites that should be added feel free to let me know !

Thanks guys,

See you in the Nexus !

BStep's McIntyre posted a google doc with all his favourite builds here: McIntyre Builds - Google Docs

Mewfarez, a GM/Master player posted a link to his preferred builds here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1egiHdhcEkMnrcZ5Evdo1UXVBFatu36oiCUyGSKbzjbg/preview

I'd also suggest Grubbys guides which can generally be found by going to https://twitch.tv/followgrubby and typing !heroname in his chat and the bot will get you, generally, multiple guides for the chosen hero!

TenTonHammer seems to be more up-to-date.

When I play a new hero, I first use the ten ton hammer build just to get the hang of the hero. After 1-2 games I look at the icy-veins builds, and a few games after that, I start to play around with the different talents. Notably one talent I switch on a regular basis is Zarya's level 13 talent, most guides say to get the activated shield but against spell damage heavy comps I take the spell shield talent.

I personally don't like Icy Veins, I feel they don't update enough to stay relevant.

I prefer HOTSlogs mostly for meta crafting, since you can see what is being picked the most

 

[DreadKnight]

Personally I mainly use them as a rough guide, but I mean even the worst builds in the right players hands can devastate and vice versa. Hell the pros pick talents based of the situation/ map which to me seems far better practice. I mainly think that these sites just offer the "safest" builds for each character.

Nice list, but I think there are more updated lists out there, I found Heroes Of The Storm: HOTS Tier List (Top Characters) - GamesKeys.net and the list of gamertruth to be better than ten to hammer.
