Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm 2.0 is here for PC, and it feels like a whole new game

Blizzard has completely revamped Heroes of the Storm. Once version 2.0 is installed by the Battle.net client, it feels like a whole new game and should draw in some new players.

Heroes of the Storm is struggling. Not in the sense of it being a complete and utter failure, but in order to continue poking jabs at Riot Games and League of Legends, Blizzard needs to continuously update its MOBA competitor to add new features and content. This is exactly what version 2.0 has done. We've taken the new release for a spin and it feels great.

Check out the AskDanWindows forum on Windows Central

Earlier this year, we relaunched our #AskDanWindows video series on YouTube. The video shorts are designed to let me, Windows Central Executive Editor Daniel Rubino, answer readers' questions in video format.

My original idea was to save time, instead of repeatedly responding to comments in forums. I already write a lot and have to budget my energy accordingly. However, we're now reversing that and starting up a sub-forum. (It turns out I don't need to sleep or have a life!)
