Heroes Of The Storm will remove the ability to buy loot boxes with real money

Given how Blizzard decided to stop investment into HOTS it was inevitable they stop these loot chests.
If the distinction between Gems and Gold isn’t enough to confuse you, don’t worry, there’s also a third currency called Shards, just to make things more complicated. But the bottom line is that Gems the only kind purchasable with real cash (though you also recieve some for leveling up enough). Once this patch goes live, you’ll still be able to buy Gems and spend them on heroes you want to play, experience boosts for faster levelling, or various cosmetics, but not on the random loot boxes.
