Poll #1 - Saved Lineups is actually my least favorite, but I voted for it anyway because:
Favorite Heroes - will widen the gulf between Whales, Dolphins and Plebs, and will punish anyone who uses it for their actual favorite hero.
Hero Test Drive - we kind of already have in the form of chat sparring.
Community Rated Heroes - While convenient, is redundant to this forum and the lauding will age poorly–who is going to go back and update their feedback when the Cheshire Cat ages into a Randall or Quorra?
Saved Lineups at least adds some quality of life without skewing the balance even worse.
Poll #2 -
Promotion bonuses - sounds like a decent way to help drag the dregs through content without investing in them directly, and adds some incentive for investing in them
Team / Role mods - I’m envisioning this as something like “+8% healing for all healers” or “+10% shield health for all shield heroes”, etc. That’s entirely dependent on what the currency to acquire the mods is locked behind.
Tower Trial - I assume the “compete against other players” aspect is drawing lineups from our saved lineups again, in which case I have to kill Mulan, Beast, Ian, Cheshire Cat, and Elsa enough times daily already. If you figure out how to stock it with a variety of heroes, then I’d reassess letting Disgust handle that one.
