ShadowSketch Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hey everyone, I'm very new to AoS (though not to the action-RTS/MOBA genre) and although I've been able to learn a lot from online sources, one thing I haven't been able to find is a list of recommended heroes for new players. Can anyone please give me some suggestions for fairly simple, straightforward heroes that are relatively forgiving while I acquaint myself with the game? In case it helps, these are the heroes I found myself playing regularly in other action-RTS/MOBA games: DotA/Dota 2: Skeleton King, Lich, Shadow Shaman LoL: Riven, Caitlyn, Nocturne. HoN: Witch Slayer, Plague Rider, Flint Beastwood Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers. EDIT: Oops, was intending to include this but it slipped from my mind at the time of writing this post. I have played a game already just to see the quality of the map (though considering it's #2 on the most-played list in the arcade, it'd have to be good) and I picked Tiberius.Rancor, the ghost, since one "introduction to AoS" video I saw also used him. Is Tiberius a good choice for a beginner, or are there better picks? NoTpErFecT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaCrafted Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ummmmm for new people I would suggest maybe nova, shadow, raynor, unix? Rancor isn't a bad choice either. I started off playing rancor and he is pretty fun and easy. I think there s also a rancor guide on the forums if you like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I would suggest heroes that have decent survivability and strong early games. The best heroes for new players are, in my opinion, BioTron.Tyrannitus Vorpal.Valedict Geminus.Boros Toximancer.Vespus Null.Disruptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yea and balrogs pretty easy and u can get the hang of rory and rancor by doing their ability combos in the right order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 i think vorpal is the easiest char to new people imo just for the fact he doesnt use mana so he is a bit easier to get a grasp of also vorp was the first char i learn to play p.s pick a char u like and stick with it its how u feel on a role u would be decent at fullfulling not a char the u HAVE to stick to bcause u are new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustZerO Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 don't take Null or Bio, as they might be nerfed in upcoming patches. take stable heroes that are considered as balanced, such as Vorpal, as mentioned above. i also like the idea of toxi. i would suggest: kerrigan, vergil and maybe shadow (i consider shadow an easy hero, because his skills are easy to use. Nevertheless, he is a glass canon, so beware of the dogs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Vorpal, Kerrigan, Rancor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neogeo Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Tychus. Tanky, DPS, RocknRoll And Kerrigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSEnergy Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I think if you play Garamond like Aellectris it should be easy. Just keep farming with your towers and ulti. Have your team fight 4v5 for most of the game and win by tower pushing (or get rape faced which is more likely). <3 doxthefox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doxthefox Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 ... LoL for Riven? Darius is so much easier for the average n00b. I got my cousin on LoL with the simple idea of even if you're total garbage in lane, you can ks everyone with your ulti over and over again. Caitlyn is the best laner for sure as an RAD. For jungling, probably Udyr for his button mashing abilities and infinite sustain in the jungle, though Amumu has the the most game changing ulti in the world. For AoS.... boros, rancor, kerrigan, bio and toxi. If you're a good ladder player with protoss, then sentry can be added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diipadaapa Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 viron doxthefox and pchacker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pchacker Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 toxi and kerrigan. Both have skills that are easy to use while you get used to the mechanics of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no touble learning him, but i didnt learn the usefullness of his jump for a long time. Sarted on the 3.0 but I began playing in ih 4.0 with darpa too, and then I began to "learn" other heros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeray Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I put Cassio into fashion Lol pro-scene. For the kind of heros I see from Lol I can Recommend Lord, Shadow, nova... They are not necessarily the easiest but I think you fit to that characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
