Yeah, I'd say she is fairly well balanced. Her trait is op if you leave her alone, but really what specialist isn't op if you leave them to their own devices in lane.
And just moba things. Ranked draft, you shouldn't leave it up to last pick when they don't respond, but it worked out we needed last pick to tank(I would have if I picked 3rd/4th, but I picked first). So the whole time we're asking if the last pick can tank, never responds. I'm sylvanas, 2nd picked hammer, so we have two specialists and what does he pick? Fucking azmodan. He was reading chat the whole time, not afk, and just never responded. So the match starts, the enemy team comp is kinda fubar as well, its fairly close, we lost an early skirmish because azmodan was literally a screen away just pushing lane while we're fighting. So I say something about it, I say, "I'm glad azmodan is as responsive in game as he was in the draft selection process." Its still really close after this until a few of us wipe and then our nova somehow failed to kill someone two auto attacks away from death while full health and all cooldowns. It was one of those laughably bad plays that everyone on the team is watching because we're all dead. So this sets azmodan off and now magically all of a sudden he can talk, starts raging and says we all suck and rage quits. We were only down 2 lvls. And immediately after he leaves we start winning again with bot azmodan. He was so fucking bad the bot was far superior to him. We ended up barely losing in the end only because it was blackheart bay.

Jaina is top tier and compounded by the fact that she can blow someone up 100-0 quite easily so she counters double healer pretty well
God damn Fnatic is running Jaina + Tyrande + Diablo tri lane and it is fucking the shit of nightmares. Jaina is blowing up noobs left and right while Tyrande and Diablo isolate them.
Hit level 30 last night with machiethis but he's still working his way up there. Will do ranked sometime soon to see what it's all about.
I played some Tyrael last night. Very fun.
I played some gas/slam Stithces games. Pretty entertaining. The non-gore ultimate is pretty nice if you're going to be tanking in the middle of everyone for the heals.
Abathur's monstrosity is a pain in the ass.

I'd like to try out Abathur with clone with a Tychus. At level 20 Tychus' grenade does like 550 damage. So that is ~650 AOE damage on a 10s cooldown and his Q would be hitting fairly hard as well.
Diablo is in a great spot now IMO. The problem is he requires some coordination to follow up his stuff so he is kind of meh in pugs compared to say ETC.
Diablo isn't even the highest tier tank. ETC holds that role. Diablo is probably #2, though. I don't think any of the warriors are blatantly OP.
Especially early game. Early game I prefer Diablo to ETC but once some of ETC's talents kick in (Echo Pedal, Guitar Hero, Uber Rockstar) he becomes a better teamfight hero. ETC also gets Hardened Shield which is just great if you can combo it with a good Mosh. Though Diablo getting Storm Shield and his already ridiculous HP pool makes him pretty good at the 20 tier as well. It just feels like ETC brings the disruption of a Diablo but also with the damage of a Brawler style warrior as well.
