About Guide HoTs

Guide HoTs exists for one simple reason: most HOTS guides either bury the useful part under fluff or assume every reader already thinks like a scrim player. I wanted a site that feels more grounded than that. The goal is straightforward practical help: cleaner builds, clearer hero plans, and strategy articles that actually make ranked games easier to understand.

About Nicolas

Who is behind Guide HoTs

I am Nicolas, a HOTS player and guide creator who enjoys the part of the game that happens between the buttons. Draft logic, talent choices, map pressure, punish windows, and the small decisions that make fights feel easy instead of chaotic - that is the part I like translating into readable guides.

I kept the author line conservative on purpose. Rather than inventing a big rank story or pretending every page is based on pro play scrims, the site is positioned around something more honest: useful match experience, clean writeups, and practical decision making that regular players can apply immediately.

Why this site exists

Builds that feel usableThe point is not to look smart on paper. The point is to help you load into a game and know what you are trying to do.
Real-match languageThe best guides explain what wins, what fails, and what changes when the enemy draft makes your first idea stop working.
More than hero pagesThe site now includes tier list, climbing, meta, draft, beginner, and patch-thinking articles so the content feels like a real strategy resource.
No filler by designIf a sentence does not help the reader understand the hero, the build, or the decision, it should probably not be there.

How the guides are written

  • Start from the actual question.What does this hero do in a real game, and what mistake is making players lose with them?
  • Build around pressure, not just talents.Every build page explains what the path changes in lane, on rotations, and in teamfights.
  • Keep the tone readable.Good strategy writing should feel human and sharp, not like pasted patch note sludge.

What I want the site to become

A trustworthy HOTS library that helps both newer players and long-time grinders. That means keeping hero guides updated, expanding the strategy side of the site, and making it obvious that there is a real person behind the writing.

If a page helps you avoid one repeated mistake or gives you one cleaner win condition, it is doing its job.
