Heroes of the Storm’s two-player Cho’Gall is a chaotic riot — if you can find a partner

Throughout its life, Heroes of the Storm has had to deal with its heroes being compared to the ones in competing releases. While many of the game’s hero designs are brand new, several have come from the original Dota mod for WarCraft III, which both Dota 2 and League of Legends used as inspiration. But Cho’Gall, a new hero added last Tuesday, features a design completely new to the multiplayer-online-battle-arena genre.

As GamesBeat discussed in our interview with Blizzard Entertainment designer Kent-Erik Hagman, Cho’Gall actually consists of two heroes (or heads) in one body. Cho controls movement while Gall deals most of the damage. Each has a unique set of abilities (including separate Heroic abilities) but share one skill. Cho must throw out his Rune Bomb like a bowling ball before Gall can use Runic Blast to detonate it.
