Comparison of StormSpy.net, HotS.guide and Heroes.report

Teaching

Currently there are 3 web services that use data from HotsApi.net, but until now I had no idea when and how to use each of them. Thus, I made a simple guide based on personal opinions. This is a very quick and dirty review, so there may be errors. Point them out!

StormSpy.net : The Simple Guy

  • Simple, minimalistic interface
  • Small set of common features: Hero winrates, talent winrates, popular talent builds, filtered by patch versions, maps, and game modes.
  • Good for visualizing popular and successful talent builds

HotS.guide : The Trendy Guy

  • Single page app, responsive site, great UX
  • Similar features to StormSpy.net, but lacks graphs
  • Only site that provides detailed talent descs (no need to visit HeroesFire for theorycrafting!)
  • May be visually overwhelming due to oversized icons and small paddings
  • Great if you want to find a build quickly

Heroes.report : The Math Guy

  • Provides a massive amount of detailed stats: damage, heals, exp farmed, K/D/A, you name it.
  • Impressive graphs
  • Provides the best filtering options, including MMR
  • UI is much better since improvements, still needs more work though.
  • Currently provides the only means of tracking individual performance, by parsing your own replays in the browser.
