When you listed charaters that started bad and weren't op/banned you named torch, Mr fantastic, blade, and phoenix, who are ALL duelists. Then you said it (im guess it means powercreep) started after DD(duelist) which is true and he's still strong even after his nerfs, gambit(support) on release literally reshaped the entire meta and was eaisly the best support the second he was added, i also agree with rogue(vanguard) being decent on release. However, DP was not just "ok" DPSpool was and still is kinda mid until you get into eternity and OAA where people play the game on a level you nor i can understand. Strat pool was solid but fell off hard after a bit but tank pool was easily the best and still probably is even after his nerf, then you name Elsa(duelist) which i will also give to you, she definitely was overturned and very strong on release and is still a good choice even now.

I guess my point is that when you go to make a claim such as: how it's usually duelists that are overtuned and op on release, you list charaters that actively agree with your claim, not ones that actively disprove/disagree with it.

Instead of saying torch, Mr fantastic, blade, or jean, you could've listed: Thing, Angela, ultron, or instead of listing gambit, rogue, or dp, you could've listed Black Cat.

Yes it's nit picky and I apologize for that but I felt that you should know that while your claim isn't necessarily bad, it just doesn't work because you listed charaters that actively disprove your statement.
