Heroes Brawl

Heroes Brawl takes the current iteration of Heroes of the Storm and turns it on its head in a special mode that applies a different set of rules and conditions each week. Provided players participate in at least two (rarely three) matches per week they will be rewarded with a Loot Chest and hero experience. If multiple heroes are used, the experience will be divided equally among them.

Length of play time will vary depending on the brawl, ranging anywhere from a quick four-minute match to almost 20 minutes.

AFK detection is present in Heroes Brawl. Players who become inactive during a Brawl will be disconnected from the match.

Maps

Brawl maps fall into one of three categories:

• One-lane maps
  • Bash 'Em Smash 'Em Robots
  • Braxis Outpost is a modified version of Braxis Holdout
  • Industrial District
  • Lost Cavern is a modified version of Lost Cavern
  • Lunar Rocket Racing
  • Mineral Madness

  • Blackheart's Revenge
  • Booty Coffers
  • Checkpoint: Hanamura is a modified version of Hanamura
  • Dodge-BRAWL
  • Escape from Braxis
  • Garden Arena is a modified version of Garden of Terror.

  • Punisher Arena is a simple game where the highest number of hero and Punisher kills determines the winner. Teams will have Punishers working for them rather than having to earn them. These Punisher kills reward roughly twice the number of points as killing an opposing hero. 100 points nabs the match, but it’s a best-of-three scenario.
