General How do you feel about "Hero" units with special abilities?

I've been replaying Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and honestly, hero units are both amazing and annoying at the same time. One overpowered hero can disrupt your carefully planned army. Back then people used to protect hero units more than their actual economy. The heroes give RTS games personality to be honest. Special abilities and level ups make battles feel personal instead of random soldiers everywhere

The hero units are the reason why some RTS matches become a drama . One overpowered hero can turn careful strategy into something else totally. But honestly, heroes make battles more memorable. Regular soldiers alone can start feeling too robotic after some time.
