Good to read I am not the only one. Been depressed for a few months now and HOTS (especially ARAM, which is really fast-paced) helps me on the bad days to put my mind on ease. On the bad days I always feel more relieved and less stressed after a couple hours of HOTS. I hope Blizzard won't pull the plug on this any time soon, till then: see you in the Nexus sir!



I can relate to this, super happy HOTS is working for you! Always love seeing another fan of the game, it feels criminally like a missed opportunity for Blizzard. As a chronic anxiety/depression patient, I sincerely hope this has helped you stay afloat during the trying times life for been for us lately. I'm curious, is the same therapeutic effect present in League/DOTA for you, if by chance you've played those before?


Good to hear it's working for you too sir! I only tried DOTA in college, so don't know about that. LoL I tried but it wasn't that satisfying as HOTS though. Although my preference was always HOTS over LoL. I can imagine LoL has the same effects for someone who likes LoL better. I've met others who gain the same results with completely different games so I believe it all comes down to doing something you enjoy.
