Best in Role: Assassin (2 Winners) • 2 Winners for Best Assassin Hero Guide Heroes of the Storm's Assassin role features some of the most well-known, powerful Heroes in Blizzard history, so we have some pretty high expectations! We're looking for detailed guides to effectively taking on the role of primary damage dealer for a team, whether as a ranged auto-attacker, powerful mage or in-your-face melee all-star. We realize that some Assassins have more flexible build options than others, so don't worry about including more than one build in your guide just for the sake of it -- go with which builds you think are best, and tell us (and everyone else) why!

Best in Role: Warrior (2 Winners) • 2 Winners for Best Warrior Hero Guide Who doesn't love a good meat shield? Heroes of the Storm's Warriors role includes both tanks and bruisers, so feel free to pick your favorite build(s) and share them with the world! Got a seriously powerful damage build for Varian? Go for it! Want to share your sick strategies for split-push Leoric? We'd love to see it! Warriors are just awesome like that, after all.

Best in Role: Specialist (2 Winners) • 2 Winners for Best Specialist Hero Guide Specialists are known for their waveclear and siege, but we're open-minded! Show us your team-crushing Azmodan All Shall Burn builds, your pro Hivemind: Symbiote Abathur strats and throw as many frogs and spiders as you've got at us with your favorite Nazeebo build! Specialist guides will benefit greatly from details on handling mercernary objectives and on maximizing your efficiency in role as a split-push all-star or damage-dealing jack-of-all-trades! Let's see some Gazlowe love, while we're at it!

Best in Role: Support (2 Winners) • 2 Winners for Best Support Hero Guide Hey, we get it -- not every support can be as easy as Li Li (sorry, Li Li mains). Since the still fairly recent Support balancing, we'd love to see your advanced survivability strategies stressing the benefit of great positioning and map awareness. Supports are about more than just healing, so we'll be looking for some outstanding guides that focus on overall teamplay. Don't forget to include details on making the most of your damage capabilities, too. Share your favorite techniques for maximizing healing output on Heroes such as Lt. Morales and Auriel while giving great tips on setting everything on fire (while keeping your own team alive) as Alexstrasza!
