Disclaimer:
The following information may change and is based off my own personal knowledge while watching the bot as well as common knowledge gained through-out the forums. This page was last updated on 10/27/15. As this is still a beta there is no "Pre-Sale-Questions" sub forum like there usually is on a Buddy product, if you have a question please post below and I will do my best to answer it. Please keep in mind I am a player and not a dev.

Hero's of the storm Update
Currently: Not working + needs update

Current Dev recommended settings for bot
You need the latest version of .NET Framework and Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (x64) installed.
The bot only supports 64-bit HotS. Make sure the process have _x64 at the end.
Run the game only in Display Mode: Windowed.

How To Play/Buy/Use

1) First off you will need a key, a key can be purchased by going here
2) You can download the latest version of storm buddy here
3) Once you have that setup simply start Hero's, click on the little COG symbol in the bottom Right hand corner, or hit the "ESC key, go into
"Options" Make sure it is set to "Windowed Mode." I personally also like to set all the graphics to low, this is optional of course.
4) Profit ??? (Please note that the current version of stormbuddy is also known as "Stormbuddy Beta" On the forums.)

Ideal Exp/Gold Settings:
1) You'll want to use the bot VS AI, I have also purchased a stimpack and I gain 93.7k(Half this number if you have not purchased a stimpack) exp/game vs AI on "Beginner" (lowest) difficulty. The bot
usually can complete a game in 10-15 minutes using this mode. The characters I have used are Jaina and Kael'Thalas both of which worked perfectly using the default/included settings.

The Debate Exp/HR VS Exp Gained
I think its important to differentiate between these two here, playing on a lower difficulty will allow for more faster games and more exp/HR this is most beneficial, in the current state of the bot, if you are watching the bot and can make sure it keeps playing. If you want more exp gained then I would recommend changing the AI difficulty to "Recruit", the matches can last longer though. The longest match i've seen on recruit lasted 35 minutes.


FAQ:
More questions will be added as I think of them.


1) Is the bot worth Buying?
The bot is currently in a state that requires monitoring as it will mess up/stop in the middle of a match. The bot is being constantly updated and fixed and I have very high hopes that a "Buddy" product would be worth the money. I personally have purchased the product and it works fine for a starter hero's account trying to level and grind gold for new hero's.

2) Can I do things while botting?
Yes you can, it is important to note however that the bot requires windowed Mode and to be "Always on Top" So you cannot minimize or hide the window (or hide the window behind a browser window) like you can with say Honorbuddy as an example.

3) Can the bot currently Run 24/7 or overnight?
Do not expect it to still be running when you wake up the next morning.

4) How good is the bots performance In match Currently?
The bot currently tends to be over-zealous and rushes towers. The bot will sometimes even stand within enemy tower range and just let the towers beat on it. From what I've seen of the bot fighting enemy champions(AI) it seems to do pretty well in that area, often times juking an enemy player while they attempt to clear the minion wave. The bot works very well against "Beginner" bots on VS AI (lowest difficulty) and works decently on "Recruit" but I would not recommend going higher then that right now.

5) What kind of Exp/Gold per hour can I expect to see?
Please keep in mind these numbers will vary heavily depending on your game settings as well as the current state of the bot. Using the above settings and assuming each match lasts no longer then 10 minutes it is possible to achieve 937,000/HR IF you are watching the bot and making sure it does not mess up. As for gold/hr you usually get 10g a match, without a stimpack/boost, so 60g/hr not counting any bonuses gained from hitting level thresholds or doing quests.

Thank you for the FAQ, I've been following the development of Stormbuddy, I tried it during Alpha, but am glad to see that it is actually making progress and transitioned towards BETA with hopefully a release in the next 3-6 months.

Is there a list of other heroes that work to some degree with Stormbuddy BETA other that Jaina and Kael'thas? There is the Stormbuddy User Manual by the buddy team with a tier list of heroes that works with Stormbuddy, but I'm not sure if that is outdated by now.

Thanks for the response, Currently there is over 40 hero names under stormbuddy "Talent" options i'm not sure how many of those are actually functional, I haven't had any issues running any of them yet so I think its a safe bet that they all work to some extent. As for that manual I'm not sure, I haven't ever seen it.

EDIT:
as I purchase more hero's I'll try and update which ones are working and make a list.

EDIT#2:
said list is made and added to the main thread at the bottom.

Below please find a copy of the Stormbuddy User Manual, I got it off the this support forum on 09.21.15 but has since seem to be removed. I'm guessing the buddy team is working on a new manual? and wondering how much of this manual is still valid.

FAQ:
Q: Why does the bot crash, when I press start?
A: Press Alt+Strg+Entf / Ctrl+Alt+Del -> Tasks -> check the Heroes of the Storm process have _x64 at the end. if not it’s 32-bit. Go to Battle.net client-> settings -> game settings -> uncheck start 32-bit-client to ensure the game is starting in 64bit mode.

Yeah I think its safe to assume that they will make a new manual later on once it exits beta and goes to full release.

EDIT:
dev just confirmed that the manual is from the old version and no longer applies.

This one have nothing to do with our new bot-base used by Stormbuddy Beta, thats why we removed it.
are there currently any settings we should be running the bot @ or does it matter at this stage in development?

You need the latest version of .NET Framework and Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (x64) installed.
The bot only supports 64-bit HotS. Make sure the process have _x64 at the end.
Run the game only in Display Mode: Windowed.
Ensure Quick Cast is turned off. You will find it in Options -> Mouse and Keyboard -> Targeting.

Awesome thanks for the clarity. I have updated the thread with the quote :)
 
Would like to add that Raynor works pretty well, though it always opts for Raynor's Raiders (20) instead of Hyperion.

I am using used the bot to go grind (Beginner AI) from level 16 to 20 via Raynor, currently lvl 19.
 
I would like to test this bot more also for the developers, but i find it hard to justify a full payment for it.
Anything we can work out?
 
when playing with computer:
Valla - works quite well, it binds circulates through auto attacks.

there is no problem on the map - Garden Horror 100%

open a thread under support issues section providing your log file so we can check it plz
 
I do not quite understand what you want me to do, because they do not know English very well, could not be in a personal message to respond to me in Russian - if it is possible. Since the interpreters do not translate the basic sense of your proposal, and I can not understand or anything (((
 
when playing with computer:
Tasadar - works quite well, pumps attacks build, rather than aid.

- there are problems with the movement - is moving back and forth often.
- Sometimes destroys chests

on the map - Blackheart's Bay

70/100 ....
