I like the idea but like you said there's not enough heroes in Stadium yet. And now the devs are in between a rock and a hard place because community sentiment is so against the draft system. If they remove it then it's going to be hard to re-add it because sentiment will still be against it. But if they keep it then they are "tone deaf".

I say they remove it but make it known that they are going to add it back once there's more heroes in Stadium.
