HeroEngine was never the issue.
The issue was that they bought the pre-release beta version of HeroEngine and then modified it so heavily that they never were able to upgrade to actual release version anymore nor were able to get any updates and fixes. So HeroEngine was never able to support them.
It was actually pretty sad as HeroEngine got all the blame and bad reputation as result, while the actual blame was on EA and Bioware themselves.
HeroEngine was (and still is) the only game engine on the market that was focused on MMO development. So it's a real shame that EA/Bioware ruined their reputation.
I mean, just look at the outrage against HeroEngine when people discovered that Zenimax/Bethesda used this engine in the Proof of Concept phase of Elder Scrolls Online development back then.
Which means that they destroyed their own game before it's has been released. The worst decision in games industry history by far.
