Looking at the hero list and the order they have been released in we can see that in general , kits get progressively more loaded and have more and more options ea time
Dont you think that in time older heroes will become irrelevant since newer ones can do the same job + more ?
I also play Warframe outside of ow and you can kinda see it there .
Like. what would be the point of playing Rein in a couple years from now if most other tanks can do what he can and also have 5 other abilities xD
(if the game lives for 2 more years lol)
This isnt a lets complain about this post k
Im just asking what others think
Not sure. Ana will always be unbeatable. Mercy breaks DPS heroes and has huge playerbase. Discord exists and Lifeweaver is dog water. Moira is top tier pick in low elos.
Meanwhile the cowboy is like:
-Shoot
-Shoot all bullets
-Reload button
-Reload ability 1
-Reload ability 2
-Bomb
No, I don’t think so. Characters like Ana or Mercy, for example, will most likely never be outright replaced or become irrelevant.
I’m not particularly worried about the roster as a whole for the time being. Most already have been refreshed or just have timeless designs to start and the problem children just need reworks regardless.
Really, I think a certain amount of power creep and change to the general environment and how the game is played is inevitable, that’s only really a problem imo, if a dev team is unwilling to refresh kits if and when it becomes necessary. But with Overwatch? I don’t think that’s something we need to fear.
Not really…
I mean, everyone has their own thing they’re good at. Nekros is good for building up an army but you won’t play him like a Rhino, or something like that…(trying to make it relevant since I only really use Umbra and Hildryn…and play solo…)
It might seem that way until the new hype dies down and people settle into how they actually play, and if it isn’t for them, no harm in trying.
I remember thinking to myself in 2016,
“man, it’s nice to have a shooting game with so much mechanical variety that they won’t constantly update it; it’ll just be fun because of the concepts.”
Not the worst case of power creep I’ve ever seen, but yeugh. That and bad design decisions all this time, there’s not much to compare.
I totally agree with the argument for Ana btw. i played her alot and ye i think she will always be strong . i guess this only applies to some heroes . like rein cass zen i guess
Rein was literally just meta and OP by a large margin. The best heroes in the game tend to be the older ones. In fact, Sojourn and Kiriko might be the worst heroes in their role rn.
Sojorn was mega overloaded. It’s getting too much.
There are heroes with like 2 abilities.
then there’s lifeweaver with like 6.
true . but at the same time look at frames like Chroma 
i have a 338 power str build w him and i can still 1 shot almost anything . but hes SOOO outdated and boring and his 1 and 4 are completely dead and newer frames can do anything he can + more
theres no real point in playing chroma anymore
