Might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere.

There's always the HotS starter bundle that's been available for years. $9.71 (on Amazon) for Sonya, Zeratul, Li Li, Zagara, and Jaina, plus a Zeratul skin and a mount. Would probably be better at about $5.99, but not terrible.

It actually isn't a scam! The Heroes of the storm purchase as you can see from this amazon link (hopefully this doesn't get deleted) actually comes with five heroes: Sonya, Zeratul, Zagara, Li Li, and Jaina as well as the Ronin Zeratul Skin and the Golden Tiger mount. That edition is the only way to get the golden tiger mount.

You can probably find it by itself as well.

There is a starter pack. Not necessarily the best heroes in there for new people, but it's something.

The HoTS retail starter pack is not a bad price these days. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00X0GLXQG/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511117212&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=heroes+of+the+storm&dpPl=1&dpID=51B8xDsvdgL

5 heroes, but they're all older ones. Still a cheap way to get going.

It was included with Heroes of the Storm: Starter Pack

Not that i know of - there are a couple interesting options though -

1. If someone "recruits" you through the recruit a friend program, you'll get Raynor and a stimpack free at level 1 and Sylvanas free when you reach level 10.
   
   
2. Buy the box copy of Heroes of the Storm - in the US you can get 5 heroes for $15 (https://www.amazon.com/Heroes-Storm-PC-Mac/dp/B00X0GLXQG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469625581&sr=8-1&keywords=heroes+of+the+storm)
   
   Other than that the gold gain and hero rotation are actually pretty decent, but I hear you on it being a big investment.

Pretty sure the Starter Bundle gives Raynor Muradin and Malfurion + an Armored Horse mount

EDIT : This one gives 5 Heroes, probably the one you are referring to, that's my bad.

Starter edition bundle when it was on sale for, like, $7.

I gave all the Hero codes to friends to help them get started.

That one? Just click the digital code button.

I always recommend getting this pack when this question comes up. It's a good deal for quite a few things

Golden Tiger Mount

Five Heroes: Sonya, Zeratul, Zagara, Li Li, Jaina

Ronin Zeratul Skin

By buying a stimpack and playing all free week heroes to level 5 you can amass gold pretty quickly to buy some heroes you want.

I started playing after my friends had already been playing for months so I was far behind on owning heroes as well. There was a really cheap deal on amazon for "buying" the game, which came with a handful of heroes. I did that, played them all to 5 along with the free week heroes, and by then I had amassed a bunch of gold so i was able to buy even more. I did this before loot boxes, players doing this now will get a few free heroes along the way from the boxes as well.

There are also several hero bundles with 20 heroes a piece coming on 4/15. No clue what the price will be yet but I'm assuming it will be decent.

It's just a question of if your friend has more money, or time. Despite being "free" to play, the game is going to cost you one of those if your goal is to own a bunch of heroes.

Golden Tiger is available in the boxed, retail starter pack:

I saw several copies at Target the other day as well.

golden tiger is part of the Hots starter pack, it's not available online I believe.. It's a retail pack - I bought it at release on Amazon for 20€.
15$ atm, if you're in Europe it's around 9€

that's the one I'm talking about:

You can buy the whole bundle for $10 on Amazon and cheaper from places that just sell the keys.

> (even more so since you cannot purchase HotS for a retailer on a physical medium).

https://www.amazon.com/Heroes-Storm-PC-Mac/dp/B00X0GLXQG

It comes with a physical DVD, heroes, skins, and even the fabled Golden Tiger Mount!
