I know. I would have posted this on the Feature Requests for Ni2 but we don't have that thread yet. It's not like I'm hurting anyone by posting this sooner.
They will have some ideas on the topic but this is my take on what to do hence this is a feature requests, not a demanded.

Scrap halb - doesn't even have any class locked halberds.
Sentinel has the biggest problems out of all the classes atm but It can be fixed for an NI2. You don't need to scrap classes because most of the people don't like the concept of that hero... You make them Into classes people will like more.
You have given no reasoning for why a 2h hero and an armoured hero for sniper should be joined... They are racially different classes so meeting In the middle would give a lack laster outcome of a less tanky Ranger that can use 2h's a bit better. Who would want that and If so how many people. Compare that if you joined Warden and Ranger. Most people would probably pick a side being full Warden or full Ranger but you can easily see people willing to trade off some bow skill for a bit more armour.
Classes like Warden and Ranger would be considered generalist. A generalist is considered versatile. Rangers armour "buff" is always with him no matter what and Warden specializes In what people use the most ranged. Classes like Sentry and Senti would be considered a specialist. A class that trades off something that's very important ingame play on that class for better skills in something else. Generalist to specialists is more of a spectrum but we can label classes with titles.
All 8 classes I suggest have what I would call a good spectrum. The Warden to Ranger is the best example to give how popular Warden is. Given the right stats, Its possible Warden could become more of a glass cannon In NI2 so more fire power for less armour and ranger could become even tanker for less bow skill.
I've suggested classes yes but its more the concept of being able to pick what stats you have. The 16 heroes are nice? but chances are you reading this wanted a class to be different In some wave. This system would do and it's not overly complicated.
