I think I disagree a bit . What they are trying to do is buff each heroes strengths or identifying characteristics not the character overall . An illidan , samuro , varian or tracer SHOULD be able to blow up Chromie . Why ? Because Chromie can do the same to them but from a whole screen away . In certain circumstances , one heroes strengths will absolutely favor them compared to another ' s weakness , but luckily , at least in the drafting modes , your team is aware of these issues before the games starts and can adjust accordingly . That ' s the strategic aspect of the draft . As long as they diversify the strengths and weaknesses of new heroes , there should always be an answer in the game . Your criticism seems to be centered around 1 v 1 ' s or hero vs hero matchups . you aren ' t saying they should balance that facet are you ?
