Well there are historical accounts of certain ultra skilled samurai/monks (kensai) doing just that, including holding a bridge against an army single handed, or taking on enemy formations.
Now mind you they could not take on an entire army single handedly, but could make mincemeat out of smaller groups or larger groups in confined spaces (like a small bridge).
I personally don't have much issue with them provided they are not completely over the top. The Kensai from STW expansion were tolerable for example, and I suspect this is what they mean by hero units (maybe named kensai).
Ultimately though I hope this time the game will be modifiable so that units can be properly balanced with realistic stats and abilities
