Not a bad idea. Personally, I typically like to select heroes at random. I think this keeps it most fair, and gives all of the heroes a chance to enter the game from time to time, rather than people always just picking their favorites. But, if your group likes to choose, this or something similar is definitely a good way to make sure they don't just always automatically pick all the heroes they think are most powerful.

Ah...so far we have primarily let folks choose their Heroes. It seems to give them a better connection to their character. For example, if my princess-y friend Laura ever drew Jake, I could see her being less than enthused about keeping him alive in hopes of getting a cuter character.

No joke.
