should each hero has its own weapon type?

Im making an AoS and im thinking that instead of having just swords only units that use swords should be able to use swords. and only units with bows use bows. and they cant use anything outside of thier class. But the problem is that would mean some wierd items because my tauren hero and mountain giant hero would be using logs or trees as thier weapons. my weapons would be:
swords for night and naga type guy
axes for any of the dwarves
logs and trees for mountain giant and tauren
claws or something for wolf and turtle
bows for archers
watery summons for water elemental
What im mostly worried about is balance. theres 6 basic types of each weapon, light, normal, battle, experianced, master and god. i think im just going to give all of these the exact same stats. but then, each weapon type has 2 special types. swords have posion and cleaver while axes have sharp and smasher (I've already finished swords and axes but am willing to change it.) so thats what it is\might be. If you think i should change tell to what because i definitly dont want an archer carrying around a sword. if you think its good tell me also.

edit: dang it.. sorry didnt know what i was thinking, wrong forum. should be map dev

Yeah man, that is what i always was thinking about, how can a blademaster carry an axe when he has a sword in hes hands, it's a grate idea :D

Wrong forum btw.

I dont think you should give everyone the same attack and armor types. As long as you can make what i like to call a hero circle then its fine. Hero circle is like a circle showing which heroes are strong against which and which are weak against which.

eg.

Ya i know its in the wrong forum. but your talking about the heroes weaknesses and strengths. these are the items. it'd be hard to show that with items. I will take that into account for my heroes tho.
