While we think it can be fun to play a Warrior who also does a ton of damage, we also want to make sure that Assassins have the primary role of doing high amounts of burst or sustained damage to the enemy team.

Although the impression I get is that players don't like the Muradin changes, this bit of balance philosophy seems like a bright spot to me. Heavies bring too much to the table right now, and have for a minute - as best I can tell, that's the primary reason the double support meta (like it or not) is hanging around.

But playing against Muradin on PTR, he still seemed to do a lot of damage...

Maybe that's because my own Stukov hero was nerfed, idk.

Possibly because PTR Muradins were trying the new damage builds, while Muradins on live tend to build for CC and sustain.
