Back when there were infinite heroes allowed, or even 4, the excuse that "heroes allow people who wouldn't normally find a group a chance to play" was valid. Maybe they had a couple friends who they could play with, could roll some heroes, and go. Today, however, only two are allowed. If you can form a team of 6, you can form a team of 8. There is guaranteed at any time to be two people willing to join your team of 6. That excuse has no merit any longer.

Now, all heroes are used for is running HEROWAY. That is the only purpose, period. For those not aware, heroway is a build that takes advantage of the AI quirks to make them perform better than a human can at the role they are assigned to. I can't think of anybody who plays PvP who actually likes the idea of playing against AI instead of people- except the people running this build. Yes, it is beatable of course, but it is a ridiculous gimmick that should not be there... right now, on obs mode, I found countless Heroway vs. Heroway vs. Heroway trying to take halls. Obviously, when so many people are using heroway and crushing the competition, something is wrong. This is PvP, not PvE, there is a special Hero vs. Hero arena for people who want to PvP without playing with real people. Granted, HvH needs a little work, but that is where hero action is supposed to occur.

Anet already limited the heroes to two- they see the problem- but the fact is, the problem was not remedied. If they kill this annoying FOTM by removing heroes from real PvP, I am sure everyone would be happier.
