Ok, some quick feedback. I just tried 1 hero, the adminiral proundmoore guy.
His fire wall is imba, it damages buildings and it is PAIN! It can take out a tower in about 2 casts at level 1 and it kills creeps like mad... I suggest you nerf it or change it to his level 2 skill or ultimate.
I will give more feedback after trying the other heroes.
EDIT: I tried the gladiator and he can barely demolish buildings as well as the adminiral gay... its weird. Also, the cap system is nice.
EDIT2: Tried the Mountain King and his ultimate lags abit and his avatar adds tons of health but its ok cos he is a tanker. The low durtaion balances it.
EDIT3: Tried Jack, very fun hero to play! Good job on him. He has quite a hero killing potential so good job.
EDIT4: OMG! THE ANGEL IS JUST PURE AWESOME! Especially the ultimate, it owns! Though the angel model is not the best I've seen... There one on the Hive by General Frank, it pawns. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models.php?status=g&search=angel&d=list&r=20
EDIT5: The Crypt King is quite ok... But the problem is his health is low and his bite is not really that powerful at early game but I guess he pawns late game.
Thats all for today, I gtg so bye.

Thanks for the feedbacks! Its best to test online with a fullhouse, some spells might look overpowered at the start but it shouldn't be after a few times of testing. Though i will agree there are things that are unbalance, i will look into it and see how it works among diffrent teams combination. As for the Angel model, i will see what i can do

Thanks again!

It's fairly fast paced, but none of the abilities are very cool. Zack mentioned the angels ultimate, but I find it to just be a cinematic spell with really no use what so ever. None of the heroes take any skill to play and you haven't done anything some other AoS hasn't...

Thanks for testing. But if you say that the angel's ultimate is just effect and nothing else, you either didnt read the desiption or you didnt realy test it out. To support my statement, if you somehow cancel or move away while you are casting, the damage is base on how many angles of the effect is connected, so yes, if you connected 1 the damage will be less than 5.

If you say none heroes take any skills to play, well maybe some, because it is still beta, but i am sure you haven't test most of the heroes because they are some heroes that requires skil to play, for example Stalker, horde faction.

And did you try the capping system? I haven really see this in an AoS, correct me if i am wrong though.

Thanks for the feedback!. Though is better if you could give example and support about why things are bad or stuff like that, so i can improve on it.
