Why the different prices for heroes?

[Saltstorm Jake]

The heroes are supposed to be balanced, right? If that's the case, why are some heroes significantly cheaper or more expensive than others? For example, my main, Thatch, costs 3900. On the other hand, Sir Roland costs 5400. What's the reasoning behind this?

I'm pretty sure Thatch and Sir Roland have been around for roughly the same time, though.

I think it's also based on how popular they are.

Well, that and the characters ARN'T balanced. There are some pretty OP characters, and I believe the devs are kind of just throwing their hands up and admitting that they WANT you to pay the $20 and get the unlock all, otherwise you'll be grinding for a hella long time.

I lucked out and got the founders pack (Bought my way into the game.) and that gave me every character except for Asuri, who I had the 7.2K to buy with gold after about 4 matches and I'm already up to 5K again, but I figure that the Psycho is going to be released here pretty soon, so I'm saving up for him instead of a new color for Ada. Kind of sad that there isn't any sort of master-skin system for max level characters though. HotS set a new bar when they added that feature to their game, and it's something that I honestly believe should be the new standard for any game with character specific levels + costumes.

2 things on this...

1. The game is currently unbalanced, but the prices aren't based on how "op" a legend is. (also don't forget that the game is patched oftenly to balance it)

2. There isn't that much of a grind really, it doesn't take that long to collect the gold needed. About Asuri she was only 7.2K for the first week (or 2 weeks, not sure) than she went sown to 5.4K like the others, and the devs have mentioned this will be there for every new legend, not cuz they're op but since everyone would want to play them.

2 things on that.

1. The game will continue to be unbalanced. It's been out for quite some time and they still can't make Teros stop being completely and totally broken, yet they went out of their way to remove one of his biggest counters and nerf gun users completely.

2. There's plenty of grind. At a daily quest giving around 200 gold on average, and then farming custom matches for around 50 gold per match . You'll find that you'll need quite a bit of farming to get a good stable of heroes to work with consistantly..

Actually it hasn't been "out" for a while. It isn't even open beta yet, lol. Teros has been up and down the tier list as much as anyone, at one point he was completely unplayable if you were trying to be competitive.
