F2P Hon hero poll changes

 The main changes to Hon F2P "Hero poll" will be:

  1. Expanded Free Hero Pool from 15 heroes to 30 heroes. This 30 heroes (10 of each attribute) will be chosen carefully, taking into mind factors such as difficulty to play and hero roles. 
  2. The Free Hero Pool will no longer change from week to week - it will remain completely static. Furthermore, it is no longer a "Free Hero Pool" - F2P players, new and old, will simply start the game OWNING all 30 chosen heroes.  (Any Gold or Silver Coins players have spent on the 30 chosen heroes will be refunded.) 
 No rotation means there is a defined "Starting Hero Pool" that players can learn and pick up the game with, without having to learn how to play with and against a new set of heroes every week. It creates a very simple system, made even more attractive in that it allows for complete removal of the cumbersome tokens/passes mechanic. It is a simple, perfect base from which to implement potential additions such as an Upgrade-to-Legacy fee or a subscription model to access the rest of the heroes in the future, should we decide that they are beneficial to the new player experience.

I really dont like the sound of the "bold part", but well it  was to expect..
