Both are fine to me. I think for newer players, it's better to have Hero names, but as someone who enjoys the esports scene and doesn't necessarily know everyone on all the teams, I like when every once and a while, I can identify X name with Y hero in Z role. | ||

Zagara is pushing the top lane says more for me than <player> is pushing the top lane. It also matters more which hero is doing what, rather than which player. | ||

I dunno, I stopped playing after WC3, so I don't identify that as anything more than Arthas with a helmet on hehe. | ||

I've heard plenty of people just call Kharazim 'monk' but it'd be weird for some heroes, like Nazeebo | ||

Dota has a lot of characters that are refered to by both name/title and 1 just kinda sticks. It irked me a lot when I called Morales "medic" in HL and people thought I was talking about healer lol | ||

I prefer the hero name over the player playing that hero, since players switch heroes each game. We all know what each hero looks like, but to quickly identify the player, we need to know what hero he's playing anyway (or read the name instead of just see the hero). It's easier to recognize by hero instead of player, which makes viewing easier. | ||

When i first started watching this really bothered me. But It gets easier as you become more familiar. But mostly because you now might know the name of the talent or abilities of heroes. Not because I'm quickly making the connection from the players name and role to the hero they're playing in game. | ||
