What heroes would you say are balanced, but largely carried by one OP talent?
I’d say whitemane with high Inquisitor is a big one.

I wouldn’t say “OP” but definitely must picks a lot of the time
Fishing Hook-Stitches level 16
Ominous Wraith-Leoric Level 13
Giant Scorcher-Ragnaros Level 16
these talents have gotten me a TON of value compared to other ones

When hero has balanced win-rate and it’s because of one talent that dominates like high inquisitor on WM it doesn’t mean that talent is OP… That means there is one balanced talent and several underperforming or bad talents.
Huge problem of Blizz development is precisely that they think like original poster. They see the one good talent as too strong compared to garbage ones so they nerf the only good one leaving you to pick from bunch of bad talents instead of making the buffing or fixing the bad talents so you’d pick one of many good talents.

“Siege Tactics” On hammer. Thought this one would be obvious.
“Wormhole” On Zeratul
“Festering Wounds” On Sylvanas
“Devastating Charge” On Diablo
“Art of Chaos” On Azmodan
I completely agree. I have no idea why they thought a level 4 talent that completely removes “displacement” from her list of supposed counterplay options was a smart idea.
I also have issues with graduating range allowing her to easily outrange chromie and control insane amounts of space.

It is true and untrue for WM sure right now high inquisitor is what carries the hero but her Q build was the most popular optipn and nerfed without a second thought.reverting some of the previous nerfs could make people chose something else than HI.

D.Va is by no means balanced but Ablative Armor is sleeper OP against sustained damage dealers and everything Nazeebo throws out on her during Mech mode.

I’d probably say none if the hero was truly balanced.
alexstrasza has the most ‘must pick’ talents of any hero in the game, she only has 1 build and deviating from it is a direct nerf.
Repulsion
Loud Speakers
Entrenched
Yes, knockback has super ridiculous insta-value rate therefore every knockback-distance talent is by default ridic IMO… Though I guess Repulsion doesn’t count cause it’s a lvl20
Celestial Atunement
Remorseless Winter
Echo of the Elements
Meant to put Frozen Wastes in there too but sometimes Icy Talons does crazy work as well 
Tassadar isn’t balanced, but:
Nullification
Activate to reduce the damage the target enemy Hero deals by 75% for 4 seconds.
Make every hero useless with high dmg.

Garrosh - Into the Fray - This talent gives too much and limits other talents. In addition, it does not fit the character, because we usually use it to save allies. It should be removed.
Sylvanas - Festering Wounds - I can not describe it. This talent should never appear. Completely changes the mechanics of the hero. Sylvans is a hero based on AA, only up to level 7 … Sylvanas is a hero with high damage in 1 target, only up to level 7 …
Lucio lvl 16 and 20 talents.
There aint a supp that gets his heal boosted more then him. Second track + one of his lvl 16 talents increase his heal by 300%. That is INSANE heal output since his base heal is ok at worst.
Its balanced by him having bad low lvl talents tho.
Idk, once i played Alex and i got blamed for not getting “circle of life” at level 1, because we had 2 tanks and guy was supposedly Alex player.
no,
it should be added as baseline ability just like helping hook

Lucio shield barrier. It’s not OP but with a 95% pick rate I’ll just call it a must pick.
Mephisto - Consumed by Hatred (lvl 20). If you proc the reset, it is basically a pyroblast to the entire enemy team, with a slow and reveal, at global range.
