There is distinction via the colored border, but it's subtle and ambiguous, especially to new players. There's no need for that in a good UI. "It's in the tooltip" is fine for extended info, but this should be "first glance" info.
I know the design intent is to reduce visual clutter, so the word "Warrior" somewhere on every warrior card is probably ruled out. But a little icon in a corner would go a long way here.
WoW already has icon standards for all these heroes that could easily translate.
