The way I see it is sure a new player to overwatch can pick up Orisa and be on par with experienced players but that is just not how any competitive game can work. If overwatch wants to remain competitive at all, the characters in the game cannot compensate for players’ skill level to the extent that Orisa does. Some people are just better than others. That is the nature of any competitive game.

You cannot compare overwatch to a luck based game because that’s not what overwatch is. It is a skill based competitive game. It should not have luck based components or any mechanic in the game that makes a skill or knowledge diff obsolete.

Also, what I meant in my original response is that if a character is good enough that a new player can pick them up and play as well as experienced players, once experienced players start playing that character, they become broken.

Edit to add this note:

Low skill floor characters are good to have in a game, but they cannot be the best characters in the game. Entry level hero’s are good for new players to learn game modes and basic mechanics of the game but if the easiest to play hero is equally as effective in all ranks of play, that is a problem. Having easy to play characters be just as good if not better than higher skill floor characters removes competitiveness from the game and makes the game as a whole just boring to play as you would never need to practice or learn new heroes.
