I said that Kaspar is good in early game, and maybe even in late game if you take ballista, triple ballista and flaming arrows.

ballista? necromancers? no way. You know that ballista draws its power from hero's attack and knowledge, which are both miserable in the case of necromancer, don't you? 
Kaspar is a bad starting hero because his speciality is redundant, and so are his starting skills, offering little-to-none in first week, nothing in weeks 2-3 and a wasted slot later on. I'm saying this as a warmachine fan. It's really not worth it. Necropolis has a very easy start.

Unless you take Kaspar, that is.

What do you mean, redundant? Kaspar, gains five points of healing and damage per hero level. That means at level 10 it deals 50 extra damage and heals 50 extra hitpoints. That is not bad. Mind you, Kaspar starts with a First Aid Tent. Thats some gold you don't have to use. Maybe a free graveyard (minus the ore).

Sure that might be a little helpful early but it's really redundant. In the end it will just be a waste of levels considering other skills that would have helped you more.

The what?
It's a shame that after so many patches and new verstions there are still some oddities and quirks in the skill/system. Some heroes just suck, I guess that's the way of heroes games (well since 3 anyway).

actually it's the way of heroes 3 and 5...
hero specials are so poorly balanced that I wonder why they made them in the first place...
Even worse the skill system should be looked at... I mean, there are completely useless skills out there that just come up and waste a level up forcing you to take the lesser of two evils and messing up your intended build.

Well, theres gotta be SOME bad heroes, it affects the way the game plays, imagine you'd get only good heroes, that would take a little strategy out of the game, because in every strategy you have to calculate what happens when you get bad heroes.

Now that that's outta the way, All heroes are good in a particular sense. They might seem good, they might even be good, but they all have there cons.

Plague tent could be usable if it would have same effects like harm touch: 1 kill and cleansings, but now itīs only usable for kasper.

I mean Plague Tent does help...but not in the late game. If you are facing an enemy quite early in and you have an Expert Plague Tent, 100 damage is actually pretty decent, capable of killing or severly damaging Tier 6 and even Tier 7 creatures. But what happens in the late game when you have to face 15 Tier 7s? In fact, the Frst Aid Tent isn't useful either, you just need it to Dispell the dark spells. No one wants it for its healing capabilities.

Well it's free cleansing then. All that matters is that you hero could be casting more important spells than cleansing or raise dead. With master liches you can really focus your frenzy/puppet master/mass dark spells potential without focusing too much on casualty control. I like to finish a big battle with minimal loss.
