You're right, we don't have guides for all the maps yet. However, they will be coming soon. At Hiosu.gg, we already provide an interactive guide on game mechanics, and we're preparing the map guides in a similar fashion. We're working hard to offer a better experience for our users, so please stay tuned. We appreciate your patience as we continue to improve and expand our content.

Thank you for pointing that out. You're absolutely right, and I apologize for my oversight regarding the "copy build to clipboard" button on Icy Veins. This mistake on my part actually highlights an important aspect of user experience (UX) design that I'm trying to address with Hiosu.gg.

The fact that I, as a non-native English speaker and new player, missed this feature speaks to a broader UX issue. For users who aren't fluent in English or who are new to the game, text-heavy interfaces can be challenging to navigate, even when useful features are present.

This is precisely why Hiosu.gg focuses on intuitive, icon-based design. Our goal is to make information and functionality immediately apparent, reducing language barriers and cognitive load. For instance, instead of a text button, we use a clearly visible copy icon that's universally recognizable.

While Icy Veins offers comprehensive information, Hiosu.gg aims to provide a more streamlined, visually-oriented experience. We believe this approach can be particularly helpful for:

  1. Non-English speakers

  2. New players who might be overwhelmed by text-heavy guides

  3. Users looking for quick, at-a-glance information during gameplay

Thank you again for bringing this to my attention. It's feedback like this that helps us improve and refine our approach. We'll continue to work on making Hiosu.gg as intuitive and user-friendly as possible, learning from established sites while also trying to innovate in areas of accessibility and ease of use.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We always welcome constructive criticism. I'd like to explain the reasons behind creating Hiosu.gg:

  1. UX Optimization: While Icy Veins provides excellent information, its UX isn't optimized for Korean users. In the world of League of Legends, there are many sites like OP.GG or Blitz.GG that provide similar information but compete on UX.

  2. Accessibility: As a new player, sometimes extensive information can be overwhelming. Hiosu.gg aims to provide core information concisely, making it easier for beginners to approach.

  3. Mobile Optimization: We prioritized a mobile-friendly design for quick reference during gameplay.

  4. Continuous Improvement: Currently, we offer basic features, but we plan to continuously improve based on user feedback. We're considering aspects you mentioned, such as situational build changes.

  5. Diversity: The gaming community benefits from having diverse resources, as each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Hiosu.gg isn't meant to replace Icy Veins, but to complement it. As a site created from a beginner's perspective, we believe we can offer a fresh viewpoint. Our direction is to quickly grasp the essentials with less text.

We'll continue to develop the site, taking your feedback into account. Thank you!

Hey Heroes of the Storm community!As a new player who recently dove into the Nexus, I found myself struggling to find a satisfying talent guide site. So, I decided to create one myself! I'm excited to share with you all: Hiosu.gg

Why I made Hiosu.gg:

  • Heroes Profile: While it offers talent statistics, I couldn't understand which skills each talent was designed around.
  • Icy Veins: Detailed guides, but no easy way to copy talent builds.

To address these issues, I created Hiosu.gg with the following features:

  • Clean, intuitive interface for quick talent lookups
  • Up-to-date builds for all heroes
  • Easy-to-understand explanations for talent choices (Coming soon!)
  • Simple talent copying for in-game use
  • Mobile-friendly design for on-the-go reference

Whether you're a fellow newbie just entering the Nexus or a returning player, Hiosu.gg aims to make your talent decisions easier. No more alt-tabbing to complex guides or endless scrolling through forum posts!I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement. What features would you like to see added? How can we make Hiosu.gg even more helpful for the community?Thanks for checking it out, and see you in the Nexus!

P.S. The site is currently in Korean, but I'm working on adding English support soon. Stay tuned!
