Srey has a lot to say about Heroes players and their lack of basic game knowledge. This is a must read for any Heroes of the Storm player.

Srey is a popular content creator for competitve Heroes. His tier list is a valued tool for most solo HL grinders, and his recent thoughts on Samuro competitive viability have proven to be spot on.

And this isn't something new-- Srey has been spreading the "Get gud" gospel for over a year now.

His latest piece of Heroes strategy, however, may be his finest yet:

Srey offers a frank look on why Heroes players just don't get it:

“ I've found through coaching players 1-on-1 and my own experience that the average player doesn't understand the meta basics in Heroes of the Storm. I've found this to be true all the way up to mid Diamond and sometimes there is even a lack of game knowledge in Masters or GM. Even amateur teams attempting to break into competitive still don't fully understand the meta for each map.”

We all know that Heroes isn't like a traditional moba, but perhaps the community at large has underestimated just how radically different it is. Srey starts off the essay with a Heroes competitive pop quiz. It was a revealing look at just how complicated Heroes is and the difference between a pro team and your average player.

For example, here are the most basic descriptions of "The meta" on various battlegrounds (as provided by Srey). Was this common knowledge to you?
 

  • Battlefield of Eternity - Solo top, 4 bot. No rotation unless ganking. Waveclear not important. Yes, single-target for Immortal race.
     
  • Blackheart’s Bay - Solo bot, 4 rotate mid/top. Waveclear important for mid/top. Need 1 or more Heroes to solo Merc camps.
     
  • Braxis Holdout - Solo top, 4 bot. No rotation unless ganking. Waveclear tiny significance. Globals are very strong.
     
  • Cursed Hollow - Split 3-1-1 or 1-1-1 and have duo ganking. No rotation unless duo ganks. Waveclear not important. Globals are very strong.
