Battle.net

Battle.net is Blizzard’s way of saying ‘enough with all the headaches from having launchers for each game we have, here’s one that combines them all and then some.' Using Battle.net you can install and play any of the games released by Blizzard.

Battle.net is an excellently designed application that interfaces between what Blizzard has to offer and the needs of the gamer. The tool enables you to install, play, update, and repair games. You can also access the latest news and shop offers, as well as get quick access to forums, support, and detailed changelogs for each product.

From a design point of view, there’s not much, if anything at all, to which you can object. The Battle.net interface is made to simplify any task, allowing you to focus on the provided content or playing. There’s barely anything you can get stuck on, everything looks great and works just fine thanks to the intuitive design.

Another great advantage to having all the Blizzard titles under one launcher roof is never missing out on what’s important. Updates are automatically installed (if you want them to be) and using the built-in browser means that you can keep up with all the fresh news for anything. It makes sure you never miss a sale, bundle or major event that Blizzard puts together.

Moreover, Battle.net also offers individual settings for some games, making it easier to find the best quality to performance balance. You also get quick access to game guides and other useful information.

Bottom line is, you can’t play World of Warcraft, Diablo III, StarCraft II, Hearthstone or Heroes of the Storm without having Battle.net so whether you want to or not, you have to install it. It’s as simple as that.
