The announcement by S2 Games that Heroes of Newerth will now have all heroes available for free to everyone is indeed a good move in the right direction. These MOBA games are really competitive and restricting heroes to free and paid customers does some what limit the strategic aspect of the game. Regardless, Heroes of Newerth in South East Asia is being handle by Garena and changes meant for the international(Europe and North America) audience don't always translate to our region. Garena has clarified on their own Heroes of Newerth page that for patch 2.6.11, the free to play hero pool will be increased from 20 to 30(so we wont be getting all heroes for free... just quite yet). This patch will go live on 25th July and there will be a price cut on premium heroes. With the competition heating up on the MOBA front, I believe this is a necessary move, but it's a shame we still don't get all heroes for free over here in South East Asia.
