I voted for the terrible balance! Because: Let's take two factions, Sorceress and Elves. The first, at level 2, has a Gargoyle - it's a flying absurdity. It moves slowly, and its attack is weak. The only plus is its defense. The second, at level 1, has a Fairy. After upgrading, it already has good spells. It moves quickly and has a higher attack. Draw your own conclusions!
Because the Mage faction will crush any faction, and especially the Elves. The only faction that can resist them is the Necromancer. You say the Gargoyle is weak? But what if an enemy hero with 40 Gargoyles and Armageddon comes to you on the 3rd week? Will you fight them with your super-duper Fairies? It's better not to argue against Mages; it's a very strong faction. No other faction has faster development than them.
I would also like to add that this is not only my personal opinion, but also the opinion of many players, the majority of players in Heroes that I know.:cool:
