* NonIndicativeDifficulty: For most of the game's lifespan, a hero's difficulty rating was based mostly on their mechanical complexity, so "Easy" heroes tended to have relatively simple mechanics while "Very Hard" ones often involved juggling more variables between using your kit and being aware of your allies. However, this often did not translate to how easy or hard it was to actually ''play'' a character in practice; E.T.C. and Malfurion, for example, were listed as "Easy" heroes because their abilities were simple to use and understand on their own, but required a lot of careful timing and micromanagement in practice, making them actually rather difficult to play well. It wasn't until early 2024 that this was properly addressed with heroes' difficulties being revised to more appropriately reflect their gameplay difficulty rather than complexity (with both of the aforementioned heroes being revised from "Easy" to "Hard", just as two examples).

Unlike ''VideoGame/{{Dota2}}'', you can see invisible heroes sneaking around, courtesy of VisibleInvisibility[[note]]The only hero whose invisibility isn't visible is Tassadar, and even then he uses it mostly as escape mechanism[[/note]]. Learning to see the invisible is essential to be a better player, and these heroes then become more manageable. Zeratul downplays the trope somewhat, as even without his invisibility, he can still be tricky to catch and remain a somewhat capable combatant, and having a high utility powerful Heroic (Void Prison). Of course, those who plays Nova can still be a dangerous foe when they don't just rely on invisibility, but instead mind-games, getting strategic positions, or utilizing bushes (you'll have a harder time spotting an invisible character standing on bushes).

*** One of the statues on Dragon Shire has a placard that can be hovered over to display the message "The Little King - [=D1rewo1f=]". This is a tribute to a fan who had passed away.
*** There are subtle hints on Garden of Terror that the map is actually Dragon Shire in the distant future (and shifted slightly to the south). Namely, the Moon Shrine is visible in the middle lane jungle, covered in vines and obscured by the surrounding wall. Prior to the map's revamp, the Dragon Knight itself could also be seen in the top lane in a similar condition.
*** There are two hanging sharks near Blackheart on Blackheart's Bay. Clicking them makes them wriggle, and clicking them enough causes them to break free and jump back into the ocean.
*** In Tomb of the Spider Queen, there's a jewel that can be knocked off the wall near the boss by repeatedly clicking it. Once you do, Harrison Jones will climb down the wall to collect it.
*** Sky Temple has a twofer. Firstly, if you pay attention to aqueducts that run along the outside of the map, you can occasionally catch a glimpse of a shark chasing somebody through it. Additionally, the Harrison Jones Easter Egg from [=TotSQ=] is continued, where breaking open a well near the bottom lane will cause Harrison to emerge will the jewel in hand and fly off on a MagicCarpet.
*** Clicking a special weapon rack enough times on Battlefield of Eternity and Infernal Shrines drops the sword Quel'Serrar or the Butcher's cleaver respectively. If you do this, a treasure goblin steals all of the loot that pops out of the core at the end of the match.
*** While you're dead on Towers of Doom and Alterac Pass, a spirit healer becomes visible in graveyards. Hovering over it displays the same text that talking to the spirit healer in [=WoW=] does.
*** There's an arcade above the left team's top fort on Braxis Holdout. Clicking the arcade titled "Samuro Shodown" pops up a holographic fight between Samuro and Sammyro. This also counts as an EarlyBirdCameo for Samuro, who wasn't yet released when this map was.
*** Warhead Junction has two: One of the pools of sludge between mid and top lane will occasionally have an eyeball in it. Clicking the eye causes the trash compacter monster from ''Film/ANewHope'' to emerge.

** Whitemane can activate her trait "Zeal" to give herself 25% increased spell power but also lower her armor by 15 for a few seconds. Given her role as a CombatMedic, this increases both her healing and damage output, but only if she's willing to take a risk.
** Fenix can pick up the Divert Power: Weapons talent, which gives him a massive damage boost but instantly destroys his innate shield when the buff runs out. Fenix is normally ArmoredButFrail, making this potentially quite risky to use.
