I'm reading Gamespot's latest details on the expansion, and I'm a little conflicted.

The Night Elves have a new hero who is made specifically to hit hard and help take out other heroes. This is quite unsettling, in my opinion. What's going to stop someone from sending the Warden (the hero in question) to a base, and do considerable damage. With the Demon Hunter (or even Blademaster, from the Orcs), they dealt fair melee damage, and could be used to put the hurt on the enemy's resource income. But at least they could be fended off with a hero and a couple units. Now it seems like that will be a problem.

Also, they have Mountain Giants, which are melee warriors, and can take a great deal of damage. Moreso, they have a Taunt ability to draw attacks to them.

The other additions for other races seem fine (though I wish the Humans got a better hero, as the original three always seemed weak in skills, in my opinion), but it seems like the Night Elves are once again overpowered.
