So that’s the formula we are forced to stick with?
Once a character has been designed, that’s it? We are forced to accept that their kit must be a staple regardless of how detrimental that kit is to core game design?
Who knows, maybe Sombra would suit a support role quite nicely. We don’t know, because it has never been tried.
Orisa is a completely new hero today compared to who she was 6 years ago. Same applies here.
You have to be comfortable at being uncomfortable sometimes.
Over the 8 years the game has been around, there have been multiple instances where hero kits have been completely shifted to fit new narratives.
I’m sorry, but I disagree that all new kits should be reflective of old ones. That’s not how balance works.
