If he finds it fun, that's okay but if he wants to learn game faster, I think sticking with few heroes at the beginning, trying to understand and learn control of a hero is much more important. At some point, he/she will be forced to play all heroes if he/she wants to learn anyway but at the beginning its better for players to play whatever they are comfortable with.
