Not sure where you get you info to be honest as it is a bit incorrect.
I am not sure how you can expect perfect balance for a game of this type before launch. If they had it, the beta would be rather pointless.
Also the paid DLC does not include new heroes. The additional playable chars as well as game-modes and maps will be free. The paid stuff will be cosmetics and PvE.

My info comes from actual gameplay + YT.
And about balance, I did not even went that way. I just wrote "Having most of characters as skill shot based and then adding lame auto aim characters".
If you introduce this thing to game, there is no way around it. It is totally wrong thing to do especially on Consoles where you play on gamepad.

This is steam DLC description which you can buy for some time.
A tremendous band of heroes fight to protect the universe’s very last star from a mysterious evil in this next-gen shooter by the creators of Borderlands. Receive 5 DLC packs, each pack allowing you to command your Battleborn on all new Story Operations. Plus instantly unlock 5 new heroes when they release, and gain awesome new skins and taunts along the way.
Even Paragon has more to it than this. There Beta costs $20, unlocks all even future heroes. No pay wall for anything at all. Tho, Paragon feels bit too slow to me most of the time.

Depends on the game and their launch day or previous day review embargo.

Dark Souls III is the first game i had pre-ordered ever because there were reviews from reliable sites/ppl BEFORE launch and we knew it's a "mashup" of Dark souls 1 and Bloodborne.

I was able to play it since minute 1 and no regrets at all: GREAT GAME.

So people still haven't learn not to pre-order.

In other news, no Doom on the list.

The developers and publisher were confident enough in the quality to release the game early for some reviews, as opposed to some publishers enforcing NDA until release date. In DS3 case, one could have confident preorder.

Factorio in the Top Ten again, just awesome the guys behind this must be loving and dreading (due to increased bug hunters) the increased player base.

I am pretty sure the aim assist can be tweaked or even disabled for the PC if proven troublesome. That is why I put it under "balance"

I will admit the wording on the steam DLC is really bad and might give people the wrong impression. There are no heroes behind a paywall of any kind. At least going by what they are officially stating at this time.
Don't get me wrong - the game may flop, crash, burn, etc. not arguing that. I just thunk the beta is actually decent. Better than Overwatch closed one for me. I like the developer and hope they do well with this.
