Common Suggestions and Hero Balance List

[slowreflex]

I thought it would be useful to list all of the common suggestions here, similar to the common bugs thread. Please point out any common suggestions that you see re-occuring throughout the forum and a link to the main thread discussing the topic. This is for common suggestions, not just if you have a suggestion of your own to point out. Please make a separate thread for those and post it in here when it gathers some support (it doesn't need to be unanimous).

Something that could possibly greatly assist players in post game stats/replay analysis:
Tactical map on replay & stats. http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=81921

Or it might be a bit overly redundant information...But we dota2 players always want as much info as possible.
