The new hero low impact problem

Venture and Juno both feel like they had relatively low impact on the game both in terms of gameplay meta and in terms of cultural impact.

From the culture perspective I think it’s because heroes basically feel abandoned after they’re released now. You put out the animated short (never a cinematic anymore), release the hero with hard nerfs because their winrate was 2% higher than expected during the test weekend, and then that’s the end of it, don’t even bother giving them skins. Even smaller stuff like new voice interactions feel less frequent anymore

From the gameplay perspective I think it’s because these heroes are both super balanced and fair to play against, which is good, but they’re in a game that’s already full of legacy heroes who aren’t that. Why play a high skill hero like juno when I can just pick ana or kiriko and win fights for free with the tap of the e key

Can someone please tell me in what rank this is true, please tell me where there gameplay impact is low… like I need to go to this rank Im tired of them both.

You have to be at least CurvedMedusa 5 to stop seeing Ventures and Junos.

I feel like the videogame market is just kinda waiting for next year.
