Except different, I suppose that might be part of the problem, keeping everybody somewhat unique.
Wasn’t there an Arthas rework planned before funding got cut for the game?
That’s actually what the planned Arthas rework would’ve entailed. They were going to add a stacking quest that increased the damage of his trait for each minion killed by it. Makes sense, considering it is Frostmourne and it should be stealing souls.

I felt like most of the reworks were going that way where they bake in good talents into the baseline kits

I loved too how many reworks gave heroes an active trait, if they didn’t already have one! I do like what they gave Rehgar though, a less generic cleanse baseline was a nice addition, even if it helped him be a little too strong.

Oh my!! Could there be still hope for a rez for this game after all?

I have the mental image of two allied Tracers ping-ponging a Stitches back and forth between eachother. And now, you do too.

pray for the best but mostly little bug fixes and almost no balance on those permaban/80% pick heroes isn’t the revive signal we hoped for 
If they “yank” Azmo, then they should also “yank” Mephisto, Glazgow, Junkrat, Stuckoff, Zul’Jin, etc. They are stronger than Azmo in brawls.
But you can see how this will lead to a snowball effect… And as soon as the strongest heroes are removed, new ones will take their places and people will start complaining about them instead… Azmo is fine… he may have a good burst damage, but that’s the ONLY thing he has… when his ball is on cooldown, he can’t really do much at all.
