Pour one out for Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard's belated entry into the genre that spawned from an old Warcraft mod, and the only MOBA I've ever loved. HotS is a brilliant game but arrived on the scene a little too late to make any kind of serious impact, with the field dominated then as now by League of Legends and Dota 2, and despite Blizzard's best efforts and a 2017 reboot as HotS 2.0, development began winding down: in 2022, the developer finally announced it wouldn't be creating any new content for the game.
You can say a lot about the journey of HotS since its 2015 release, but I think it's inarguable that Blizzard really did support this game, and did so beyond the point where it was no longer really viable. This thing launched with around 30 characters and now boasts 90, as well as a boatload of maps, modes, and other additional content: all free, of course. One of the more bizarre aspects of HotS now is that players generally feel 2.0 didn't monetise enough.
