Hero Is Balanced But Isn't. Damn You Archimonde!

Okay I have 16 heroes in my map and all have the exact same stats. HP's, strength, agility, intelligence, damage, primary attribute, hit point regeneration, mana regeneration, and mana. However when I play with them on my map Archimonde is almost immortal along with Mannoroth and the rest vary. Archimonde is virtually impossible to beat at level 3 while Lich dies within moments. Any idea on how I can truly make heroes balanced while still being able to use the heroes I want? (opposed to substituting a certain hero for another of more equal stature) :////

Did you make sure sure that they gain the same agility/strength/intelligence per level? And some classes have more of an advantage over others when they all gain the same stats.

The demon's spells (especialy Archimonde's) are extremely powerful and you may want to substitute some for more balanced spells.

Did you adjust their armor types and amounts? Archimonde defaults to Divine Armor which can't be damaged by normal units. Other armor types give protection against different weapons as well. For example- hero armor lowers damage from piercing attacks, fortified armor takes increased damage from siege weapons, etc.

I sure didn't adjust the armor stats you mentioned. Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to check that out. I did make sure however that they all gain levels in all area's at the same rate. Thanks for the feedback! :ggani:

Don't forget the attack type either. I think chaos or something like that does more damage.

Yeah and defense type, but see, you dun wanna just make everything the same that would be like WarCraft 2 style. I would think of a better way for balance because if you **** with the stats and the spells arent balanced then you ruined that :p
