I think the distributor assist skill and the ultimate should be rebalanced.
The assist skill (Tankers little helper) is overpowered - compared with the hunter, which is about 4.5 times the price of the distributor, it makes much more money, especially since you also get money for conquering, buying stuff etc. At the highest level, the distributor gets 300 gold per support point, while the hunter only gets an additional 20% of the bounty, and only if he makes the kill - and for 20% to be 300 the other tank would have to have a bounty of 1500. I think you should reduce the money you get per level to about half.
Also, the ultimate is overpowered - if you cast it at the enemy team, you can make everything do 266% damage - for AOE spells even more, up to a potentially about 1300%, that's 13 times the original damage! While I think the Idea behind it was a good one, I don't think there's an easy way to balance it. Maybe limit it to 1 hit and 5 hits at level 5, so +1 hit per level, and only make the hits count you do on the cast target.
The armor also becomes pretty strong later on, as it doesn't seem to have a limit on the damage it heals, and has a very low cooldown - I've seen heals of several k dmg, for example when being hit with a goblin hammer or any other higher level tank skill. A fix would be to limit the amount healed, and additionally make it heal over time instead of instant (like the repair packs)
For all those changes I would compensate by reducing the cast time of the heat seeking missile, so it's easier to spam it in dogfights.

Getting used to the Sand everywhere. At least it brings us map updates.
