Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.
From the rules · No explicit self‑promotion rules are shown in the excerpt—ask the moderators before posting any product/commercial promotion or survey.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: news, discussion, showcase
Headline: short, newsy or excited (hero name, reveal, or “The Path Forward”). Use first‑person for returner stories and community posts; longer opinion posts use bullet points. Typical post length: short titles with occasional multi‑paragraph discussions. Tone: enthusiastic, nostalgic, hopeful. What gets upvoted: hero reveals, official news, constructive suggestions and welcoming posts; avoid blatant commercial pitches or off‑topic spam.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked September 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/heroesofthestorm's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
