Completely overpowred and would make king irrelevant if you can only use 2 heros

It isn't overpowered if you can only bring 2/3 hero's, and the king could still be used, just switch out the AQ with the ML.

Nice idea! One of the most well thought out hero upgrades I've seen.

I disagree with your only select 2/3 heroes though. I see this point made in almost every new hero idea thread, and it just doesn't seem well thought out. Everyone always says that the two existing heroes are powerful enough, a third would be OP. Well, no ♥♥♥♥. If SC added another hero, without changing stats to the existing, it would be insanely OP.

What I think maybe most people fail to realize is that SC would never add a new hero, or a new anything for that matter but especially a new hero without a lot of balancing. They would nerf the two existing heroes. And to make up for the nerfed heroes in lower levels when the third one is available they would re balance defenses. And to make up for that they might re balance troops. Everything would get rebalanced in the addition of a third hero to make it fit in without being OP and to make it so that you can use all three

So sure, you can go the easy route and make it so only 2/3 are available, but that is lame and shoehorns me into limiting myself. Or you can fit the third hero in, rebalance the game so it isn't OP with the other two, and add a lot more variety and fun using 3 heroes at once.

TL;DR The 2/3 hero limit IMO is a weak argument that ignores the possibility of balancing the game to fit a third hero in.

Sorry if that looks all negative, I really like the hero idea itself. I'm just kinda sick of the 2/3 argument

Thanks for the well written feedback!
Also a new interesting new point of view.
Still have to think about it for a while but fist thoughts are that nerfing existing heroes to make room for a new one may deminish the bound between that of a troop and a HERO. The high level BK AQ strategy is meant to work because of how awesome heroes are meant to be.
Will still think about it though and I'll change it in an update if I change my mind

I don't think it would make the king irrelevant at all. Which 2 heroes would you chose to GoWiPe with?
And I did try to make it as balanced as possible, but what aspect would you say is OP?

Exactly! All depends on the army you're working with
Lavaloon - AQ + ML
Gowipe - BK + AQ
Golaloon - BK + ML

I'm a big believer in two heroes, but I really like this idea, which suprises me.

Sick idea man. Maybe a healer hero or something like that would be cool, its special ability is to be able to heal air units wich is unlocked when you get it, but it basicly stays a healer and when you upgrade it it gets more hitpoints and heals per second.But you can only have 2 heros active at the moment so it balances out a bit. Anyway love this thread 110% of a pass rate from me SC should realy consider the ML.

Glad you like my concept!

Yes, a flying hero is needed. The normal heroes aren't really useful in air attacks while they are really powerful in ground attacks.
