A list of all the official heroes released to date.
I thought it would be nice to list all the heroes so far in one place and to vote for our favourites. This can be either your favourite thematically, mechanically, artistically, or a combination of the above - just go with your gut feeling.
Thanks to Dicky P (Boom04) for help with the poll data.
Index of what the ratings mean:
Essential - just perfect, this hero continually kicks arse, will always use them
Excellent - cleverly realised, great to play, will use this hero a lot
Good - replayable and fun, nice hero to have in the game
Average - pretty standard, needs tweaking to shine, probably won't use this hero
Poor - nice idea but needs reworking entirely to work, this hero will stay in the box
So, in alphabetical order here they are...
