I like it.  They handled the old accounts well.  Won't change much really, just allows new people to play if they want for free.

Aside from the free to play thing, some interesting changes. Such as: Amun Ra getting a buff... this confuses me since he was already pretty tough.

Gonna buy that British voice pack... since the silver coin cost isn't that high. :P

The only thing that kind of annoys me is the Early Access Program shenanigans.
They advertised as if we would get two new heroes this week, and now it's only one unless you want to pay gold coins to play the Monkey King.
Not to mention how if you pay money, you'll get to get early practice on the new heroes... Which is, both somewhat acceptable and yet still kinda lame. <_<

Theren are a LOT of different heroes, each plays a fairly unique role. Although the 3 general terms are as follows:

Carry: Your damage dealer; unleashes the fury
Support: Crowd control, stuns, places wards of sight to see the map, etc.
Tank: Big SOB that takes the hits (Really, this is also a support to help the carry kill everything)

Generally the same order for main stats is Carry-Agility, Support-Intelligence, Tank-Strength. Although there are many exception depending on the hero or play style. Most heroes can be played with a various style or build (Which items you buy)
