Chen Should Have a Second Health Bar
Trikslyr weighed in on why Chen still has a second health bar and Tychus does not:
“Tychus had the second health bar removed as it didn't feel appropriate on an Assassin. Chen, on the other hand, is a Warrior. It feels appropriate for a Warrior to have a heroic in which he can tank a little extra damage..”

ETC
Other Heroes got Nerfed, he stayed the same. Now hes Tier 1-2

Jason :
I love ETC, but it's so difficult when I'm not on the same page with my team mate's intentions (which is a common solo q challenge). How do you play a tank in solo Q (like Diablo, for example)? Do you think it's better to play other champs that effective with limited team communication?
Chistopher:
I know you both have experience with tanks in the game, so what do you think of ETC? It seems like most people hate him because of his weak damage output, but I think that he is undervalued, and his survivability and abilities to interrupt are amazing. Makes for a great initiator which is lacking is many of the games I have played.

Greetings!
I feel like the quests, as they currently are, are ruining Hero League. Instead of playing the role that 'makes sense', players are choosing whatever they need to complete their quest. I totally understand this and am guilty of doing this on occasion.
I'd love to see a team that rewarded players for taking on a role that the team needs -- for instance, the last pick choosing a tank or support on a team that doesn't already have one.
What do you guys think?
