Hi guys.

I know you all might be colored by already playing this game, but I have never tried it before, and only barely watched it.

How hard is it to understand and start out?

Would you say its worth trying out? I enjoyed playing D2 and D3 a lot. But still, it seems like the learning curve is steep.

In my opinion the learning curve is significantly steeper then D2 or D3 however if your wanting a game that has unbelievable depth and customization that is free then its definitely worth trying. There are plenty of guides on youtube that can help you through your first play through.

Initially i would just suggest, download it, play around and get as far as you can. Then when it gets too hard just follow a build guide to get you to endgame.

well you either like the mechanics or you don't, you'll figure it out, i'd say it's worth but all up to you basically. next friday is new league, start then and see if you enjoy it, don't quit too early, watch some guides if you're lost at any point, try to have some fun.

game's not even that complex to start out (it might be to minmax) so just play it and pay attention

Agree with the above.

Btw also good timing as new season is coming. So try it a little before so you can have a decent start.

Great, thanks!

And regarding the "Season", is that like Ladder's in Diablo 2, or something completely different?
