Seems relatively similar. Zeratul plays the role of the “hit & run”, dealing hefty bursts of damage before blinking out of danger and letting his permanent cloak reactivate.
They do seem quite similar, though. If I ever boot up LoL (which is current sitting on my desktop, unused), I’ll have to look into it.
I left League of legends after the release of Heroes of the storm. Anyway, in the time I enjoyed the game, I played mostly Kha’zix and Varus, good times though.
I mainly play mostly top and mid and some of the Champs I got on well with were
TOP
Maokai
Illaoi
Vi
Yasuo
Gangplank
Fiora
Kha’Zix
Udyr
MID
Ekko
Kha’Zix
Mordekaiser
Karthus
Nidalee
Kassadin
Jhin
that is a few of them
but I done a surprisingly well Leona Jungle
so you would mainly go for the Jungle or Mid lane role if you would play those Champions
I honestly have no idea. My strategy is pretty much just go wherever I need to go.
Which works most of the time. 18/10/0 (K/A/D) victory last night seemed to go pretty well 
Sounds like a Jungler. High power assassin who’s purpose is to farm the jungle until they can assist a lane by surprise attacking the opposing champion for a kill, or to at least give his team the advantage.
Yeah that sounds about right, although my skills at soloing Boss or Mercenary camps are quite low.
I also have the side effect of going anywhere I want (even near enemy towers) without being seen, which lends me to a bit of recon for the team at times. Maybe that’s just me being naive about a game type I have only a few weeks of experience with though.
Also, tried an alternate build strategy to get that victory I mentioned. I lost a ton of the damage on my AoE cleave, but my priority targeting and safety went way up. Apparently the ability to take down a quarter of an enemy’s health before they even know you’re there is pretty good. 
In LoL, the jungle monster nests are quite similar to the simple minions in-lane, just a bit more powerful, but less of them.
Ah, makes sense.
In HotS the Bosses and Mercenaries if timed properly can be tide turners, and fittingly it usually takes two of the squishier heroes or one tanky guy to take out a Merc camp and usually two to three heroes for a boss.
Minions…I usually just use them as a quick heal. By level 4 my basic attacks have Life Steal, so doing a quick swing-by and taking out a couple batches can seriously boost my chances of surviving another encounter without having to return to my base. If the jungle isn’t a significant amount stronger than typical minions, then it seems that role would probably suit me, indeed. Thanks!
From how you describe the Mercs and Boss, they complement the roles of the Dragons and Baron Nashor. They are both tide-turning if you can kill them. However, there are alot of smaller more manageable nests that have wolves, giant toads, bird/raptors, rock monsters, etc.
Something that also needs to be kept in mind is that it does take a while before you’ll get Smite, a spell that takes a huge chunk out of jungle monster’s health, and is needed to buy jungler gear. You’d need to play as a laner for a substantial amount of games to reach player level 10 before you could effectively jungle.
Interesting way to keep noobs from getting in over their heads
I don’t know if I’ll ever pick it up but I’ll keep that in mind if I do. Biggest turn-off for me right now is a lack of an easy way to acquire one Champion to own regardless of the F2P rotation. Out of what, over 100 characters…?..you’d think it wouldn’t be a huge deal, but alas I haven’t figured out how. I tend to play games with a “main” in mind (Volt for Warframe…Zeratul in HotS, ect.), and I stick to it. Unfortunately I’m a college student and don’t plan to spend money on a game that’s technically F2P so I’m not sure if I’ll go for it just yet
Thanks for the advice though. Something to keep in mind, eh?
Well, for each game you win you get Influence Points (IP), and you can use IP to buy champions. Quite a few are cheap at 450 IP, which is just a few good games. Some are 6300, but they are usually harder to master, but more effective if pulled off right. Mostly a way of letting you build up a collection of easy champs at first to learn, then graduating to more difficult and rewarding champs later.
…well, that never showed up in my searches.
Good to know as well! Guess now it’s a waiting game to see if a good F2P rotation pops up and then I’ll be set.
…man this is technically off topic for this. If this continues we should probably move to the LoL topic or HotS topic itself
I’m a Fiora main. Every top laner hates me and I hate them.
Picked her up because of the rework, the duelist motif and my hair was similar to her style for a while.
I have a handful of champs but I have a hard time wanting to try them again after not playing for a couple years, so I only play Veigar and Rammus now. Mostly Veigar, because I run him as support with a friend. Either our lanes completely stomp or it goes south fast because my friend ends up feeding.
I spent a lot of IP to buy Kassadin at one point, then I had no idea how to properly mid with him and gave up. T_T
as for a new favourite of mine
it has to be Camile
bought her recently
and enjoyed her playstyle and abilities
if I get ganked
I can e too safety
and I can use either tank mastery or AD Mastery and still get a good outcome
But I mean if you’re playing blind pick how would you respond to being countered
I would have to trust in my team so that the lane is fair (frequent Jungle Ganks could help)
but also
how good the summoner is at the champ
if you enemy laner is playing a champ that counters Kass for the first time
or have never played against Kass
you will have a better chance
but if they have done both of these
I guess it is up to luck
but I don’t play blind pick anymore
since the dynamic draft queue is more fun for me
since blind is mostly people trying to get their roles before anybody else does
On a flip side, you can take Kassadin to top lane (in the event the Middle matchup is that bad). I play him there from time to time, usually into AP matchups (like Kennen/Vladimir and Lissandra sometimes). But if it’s a Blind Pick case; Kassadin can win against characters that traditionally do well into him, but at that point the onus is on the Kassadin player in that situation to outplay and play smarter than the opponent, and be on top of itemization.
He’s a fun character, though.
I’ve recently found lots of success and enjoyment in my new main… Shen
Oh god, I remember the days I played almost nothing but Shen.
Shen support is fun. Maybe not the best, but I always took ignite and just picked it into enemy supports that rely on gap closing since it always puts me in a prime position to taunt their carry and use W while slapping them with a sword.
(Surgeon Shen is also A+, those crocs)
