New players get one free hero... and that's going to keep them playing?

I remember when I started I got a huge free pack of heroes of my choice. I chose support and healer and it cemented my role in that class. I asked my friend who plays League of Legends to try it out, so we could play a moba together (I’m not fond of LoL) and he said he only got the first hero he played, nothing more.

Blizzard, are you trying to kill your game? Really, one hero??? I mean this game is not thriving, at least give people a reason to play. Now I’m heading to Smite to play matches with him, because at least there he gets a few free heroes {10 to be exact). Do I like Strife more than this? No, but stingy games don’t attract players I guess.

There’s a weekly rotation of free heroes, the lower tier heroes take just few matches to get. The big pack you got was after the move to version 2.0

acutally you get 2…you get to choose from muradin tyrande and jaina, then if you completed the tutorial, you get a new player chest which guarantees another new hero. plus theres weekly hero rotations and you unlock more the more you level up. So there is a lot heroes to play. Also aram is an option for new players to try heroes.

You can also get heroes through chest. I got Hogger the other day. I didn’t think you could get new heroes. I already had him, so i got 400 shards instead

I wonder if Blizzard has any interest in getting new players on board …

They don’t seem to have any interest in keep the current players. Why else would the matchmaking system be such a pile of garbage and the pick phase for aram
