Hero nerfing???
Usurp
I logged on for the first time in a few days last night, and when I went out to explore with my heroes (Koss, Vekk, and Ogden)...Vekk and Koss were getting slaughtered like never before. Seriously, Vekk would die instantly at every mob. What is the deal...anyone?

Maybe your builds got nerfed into oblivion recently?

And...I don't think it can be a skill nerf issue...it is more like they have no armor all of the sudden???
Haodu
Did you recently beat a campaign?

I wish I had twelve characters so I could eat my banana.

There was a recent nerf to [skill]watch yourself[/skill]. That might explain Koss being such a wussy. Check for nerfs with Vekk, and check whether you have him set to guard. Hero eles tend to be worse than a wammo in putting themselves in danger.

Thanks for the suggestions...I will see what I can see tonight when I log on. Yes...I will be playing Guild Wars on Friday night...no...I don't care if that is lame to some people...hehehe.
I haven't beaten a campaign yet...I have taken my Para to Prophecies and am up to the Ascension missions now. So, I can discount the HM possibility. Also, it is like only Koss and Vekk were affected. I am not dying faster and neither is Ogden or the henchies?!?

I've been grinding away in HM with Koss and he's just fine. You should definitely review his skillbar.

maybe u didnt equip ur monk hero with any skills

Maybe because you're not running two other paragons and a ss/barbs necro? 
Usurp
Maybe Koss and Vekk are rebelling against me because I didn't log on for awhile...I'm gonna have to boost morale or maybe just beat them into submission!!!
Jiub
my vekk does and always has done the same thing
ill flag my H/H way back so i lure something, and as soon as i click it vekk will charge into melee rang for some reason and instagib himself.

If you give ele heros a PBAoE spell they'll not use it defensively, as one would think, but will run up to the enemy, trigger the spell, and stay there.
It's basically a variant of the Alesia suicide touch-heal.
Eles do this even if you disable the spell. In short, no PBAoE spells on an ele hero unless you want him to go into melee.
ALSO, to the OP: people are exaggerating the effect of Watch Yourselves because it's their pet peeve, but the change to that skill is not why you're wiping. It was never that great when used by a warrior, at least not when H/H'ing; the skill was nerfed because it gave unlimited energy & 25 extra armor permanently to paragons. Paragons notice the nerf, a warrior doesn't.

I'm not sure about the nerf to watch yourself but I have found that if I have Apply Poisin on Koss he just stands around doing nothing, and will get into the fight as soon as I disable it. I put AP on Meloni and she is fine.
Numa Pompilius
Hm? Koss uses Apply Poison all the time for me.
It takes, what, two-three seconds to activate Apply Poison, so for the first two-three seconds of the fight Koss will just stand there, because he's activating the skill. Could it be that you're seeing?
Also - he's got a weapon which CAN be poisoned, right?

Heroes have always had terrible and flawed AI, like Henchmen. Sometimes they fail more than usual.

Hey any of you guys noticed the pauses the heroes and even the enemy AI has been doing? Really watch the battles sometimes and don't fight yourself just watch the AI. You'll see them do the "think" emote and put their hand on their waist. I've even seen one of them start DANCING lmao. It's hilarious also in that the battles won't start at a distance sometimes the mobs and my heroes will actually get into melee range and almost look like they shake hands before they start fighting. I've seen this many times if I don't start the fight. Really just watch your heroes and mob AI sometimes it's quite the laugh.

Hero AI is bad, worse, it's downright redicilous sometimes (I play HB, I know) but look at it like this;
-> If it's PvE, it's easy anyways, if your Heroes fail, wiki a bar for them or try again...
-> If it's PvP (HB is on the edge tough), your enemy suffers the same handicaps you do...
Observe top HB matches, more often than not, the 'win' of the match is decided by who's heroes fck up less... (I've seen many people simply resign after the enemy packer killed theirs... They should, cuz form there on, it only goes downhill...)
Fear Me!
Check your builds, my heroes seems to be doing fine.

One of the weirdest threads I've ever seen
Seriously, if your heroes suck it's only your fault for not equiping them with right stuff/skillz.

They couldn't implement a Z-axis due to lack of "skill", point proven...

I tried A Gate Too Far HM H/H for about the baggilionth time yesterday and seemed to have trouble with it for the first time. I dunno.
Then again, me and some guildies Heroed our way through FoW last night and our heroes performed superbly.
