Heroes of the Storm is getting plenty of goodies.

New content has come out today for Blizzard’s multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA). It includes a new character, Dehaka from the StarCraft universe, a new map, Lost Cavern, and allows character bans in Hero and Team League games. Bans are a popular feature also found in MOBAs like League of Legends. They allow players to keep out certain characters from the upcoming gaming, which makes team-making more complicated. Some MOBA fans have accused Heroes of the Storm for being too simple, so this feature could make it more attractive to those who enjoy complicated esports games. Intelligence firm SuperData Research projects esports will generate $2 billion in revenue by 2018
