I was under the impression that DX and EX where official versions... but perhaps I'm wrong (iirc they were made by someone else but with Eul's blessing). But yeah, Allstars is teh suck.
1) Some heros are more powerful than others
2) Cheese heros & cheese moves - enemy hero appears, your hero is dead - no escape
3) (Over) Powerful items - +172 damage, right, that's fair
4) Max level 24 - most intelligent people noticed that anything much above 10 was broken the first time that it appeared. If I get killed by a creep, or an enemy unit, or a tower, or a fluke by the enemy hero, he gets the chance to level up 1 more level. This gives him an advantage and for the remainer of the game will gradually pull further & further way from me. Now, with the old system, this would only go on for 1/2 hour or so before they hit lvl 10 & I could catch them up and level the playing field. Now they can keep going (rarely does anyone get to lvl 24) pulling further & further away until I'm 4 or 5 levels behind, in which case I might as well kill myself.
With the old system, with a bit of effort you could hold on until level 10, catch up, equal their level and have a decent game - now, you can't
5) Enemy units are way too strong, look away & you get killed, they're supposed to be cannon fodder. Ditto for towers
6) Some heros are naturally strong against other heros. Don't give me that stone-paper-scissors rubbish. Someone, even with -repick still ends up with the weaker team.
Why am I telling you all this instead of posting on their forum? because any complaint about something which messes up the gameplay, or imbalances the game gets the same response, "play allrandom" aka "we're too lazy to fix it, so rely on chance to give you balanced".

p.s. I'd like to play in an AT game too, what realms are you guys on? I'm on lordaeron name bobmastery
