QOL Request: "Display Hero Name" Toggle

I would like a checkbox under the Gameplay tab that causes the player’s name to be replaced with the name of the Hero that they’re playing. For example, if NexusDude was playing Thrall, having the box unchecked would cause “NexusDude” to display above his character’s healthbar. However, having it checked would cause it to display “Thrall” instead.

I ask for this because sometimes it’s easy to lose track of what’s going on in HOTS, up to and including getting distracted by some of the names that people have made for themselves. Additionally, some characters (Thrall and Garrosh, for example) have very similar aesthetics given the right skins and it can be difficult to tell them apart at a glance sometimes.

It also prevents jerks who name their smurfs UNSTOPPABLE from tripping you up.

I like this suggestion!
