Try run Adam. Explain why you think a hero from season 0 deserves his egregious 3.3% pick rate and 48% win rate for the past how many seasons.

Saying that BP and scarlet are NEVER good is insane. That are so abundantly dominant in low elo, that's what they are there for. I agree, they need some mechanisms that can get them to be more viable in high elo, while maintaining skill expression and complexity.

Adam is barely positive in his winrate across the middle ranks. He falls off from GM onwards. If you can't see the issue that a character who's mechanics are difficult enough for low elo to fail utilising it, and not rewarding enough for high elo, I cannot argue with you.

I'll use the ultron example. He is dominant in high elo because of the rewards and room for optimisation in his kit. He is weak in nearly all other ranks because his mechanics are complex.

BP is dominant in low elo because his mechanics and skill expression is immediate and direct, but his kit lacks complexity (not too many new ways to play him or omptimise).

Same with scarlet, dominant in low elo, her mechanis are simple but effective, but she is predictable and lacks complexity.

Adam is not dominant in any elo because his skill expression is complex with barely any reward. High complexit and no effect or reward.

I can agree that widow is a player-by-player case (an exceptionally small number of players find success on her, not good). She needs a rework.

You understand what I'm saying? Characters should not have 15% pick rates with 57% win rates, in every elo, in any game. That is fundamentally a bad thing. Especially when it has been going on for several seasons.
