Counter-Strike: Source vs Heroes Evolved
Counter-Strike: Source
Counter-Strike: Source is the second installment in the incredibly popular MMOFPS franchise, Counter-Strike. Despite being a rather old game, Counter-Strike: Source still manages to hold its own in this day and age, with some even claming this game is so much better than the more recent Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or CS:GO. Unlike CS:GO, this game doesn't offer buyable skins and the most important thing - the community is definitely not as toxic as those you'd find in the CS:GO servers. Although the game modes can be rather limited, you can easily find some really good new ones in modded servers.So, if you're looking for the Counter-Strike experience without all the hate that most new players will get, this might be a good game to start.
Heroes Evolved
Heroes Evolved is a relatively unknown MOBA game - especially in this day and age where almost every gamer know what League of Legends and DotA 2 are. However, this shouldn't discourage you from experiencing the unique gameplay that this game has to offer. Fundamentally, the concept of the game is still the same old creep-killing and tower-pushing mechanics, but the few yet significant features added make a whole lot of difference. The game also has a ton of heroes that you can collect and play as, each having their own roles to play in a match, be it as a tanker, a carry or a ganker.The best thing about Heroes Evolved is the less intense atmosphere, making it much less stressful for newcomers to experience the game and the genre without getting flamed within minutes of playing a match. Not to mention, the pace of the game is somewhat casual as well so if you can no longer afford pouring hours into LoL or DotA 2, well... this game is here for you. Though, if you want to be competitive, this game also has a couple of competitive eSports-worthy tournaments throughout the year.
We'd say that Heroes Evolved is an excellent "more casual" alternative for both avid MOBA players and even new players who are trying out the genre for the first time.
