Heavy Storm can stay banned for all I care as long as this is made

[Mr. Judgment Dragon]

Mystical Space Vortex
Normal Spell Card
Discard 1 card. Activate 1 of the following Effects:
+ Destroy all face-up Spell and Trap Cards on the field.
+ Destroy all face-down Spell and Trap Cards on the field.
Monsters you control cannot attack your opponent directly during the turn this card is activated.

Do I really need the last Effect? I mean Lightning Vortex lacking it doesn't break it or anything but with the versatility it has over it, it probably needs it.

Considering the versitility this card has, and the fact that backrow is considerably harder to get around than monsters are, the last effect is a balancing factor. Still, something like this would be fine as a HS replacement

I mainly put the last effect there to stop Attack-based OTKs. Well there is Armityle who can get around this since 10000 ATK can end the game even if there is a monster out, but that thing requires a lot of setup to accomplish.

There are a lot of combos that can still be done that can end the game without attacking directly. However, I think the only one that doesn't involve a banworthy card is Armityle, so I think this card is fine as is.
Excellent replacement for Heavy Storm. It adds a bit more strategy to it. After all, if I'm reading this correctly, you choose which you'll destroy upon resolution, so your opponent won't know what to do with their face-down Gravity Bind.
