Starting to make HotS Guide videos - looking for feedback.

[TheBlinks]

Hey Guys,

I've been playing HotS since early alpha and have been looking for a way to give back to the community ever since then. Recently my buddy and I hit upon the idea of making hero-guide videos for new players after a particularly rough night of trying to teach some of our friends who had just gotten into the alpha how to play. We've made two videos so far, and are really looking for feedback on how we can make these videos better and easier to understand for new players. Here's what we're trying to do.

• Videos Less than 4 Mins in Length. There are too many 30-minute+ guide videos out there.
• Guides Aimed at new players to help them get the basics of a Hero
• Clear, Concise and easy to understand presentation of playstyle / skills

I'd really love to hear your guys feedback on our videos, both what you like and what you don't. The Zagara video is the first one we made a few days ago and then after getting some feedback from reddit and via youtube we've just made the Tychus one.

I like the idea a lot, good info quickly, and you guys did that pretty well. I might like to see the actual build guide closer to the beginning though, since that's probably what a lot of people would be watching for anyways. Good job overall though, I really liked the Zagara video a lot.

I'm on mobile right now so I can't actually watch the video, but the description sounds really good and educational. Based on the above comment (again without having watched the video yet) I would agree that a "TL;DR" talent load out near the start would be good for people who don't care about an explanation about why the talent is good.

Would you like me to add your guide (and credit you) to the guide archive I have going here?

I can dig a Heroes of the Storm "Hero Spotlight" kind of thing.

Uther, but you'll have to do 3 videos for healing Uther, tanky Uther and EXPLODE someone's face Uther.

Updated with E.T.C. and Zeratul Guides!

I very like your guides, I would like to see a more general approach to talent though instead of going "this is the build" maybe it will be more viable later in the alpha where they will be more balanced within tiers

I will give you feedback once I get to play the game, I just got into alpha, so we will see.

Though another good guide person to check is Force Strategy Gaming on youtube, he has some good HotS 'guides', they are more of watch him play and he will explain his build while he is playing.
