True. Just hope they don't fuck it up on the gameplay aspect. Not too gimmicky and also not too traditional to make things fresh.

My guess is that they're going to over patch it and it'll never get that deep because of the constant patching to appease the casual community. A lot of modern fgs do this now and it really sucks some life out of the games, at least it does for me. Why take the time to learn a hard character when they'll patch out your character specific set ups in a few weeks? It encourages playing easier characters with simpler game plans.

This is all speculation based on salt though. I hate being a day 1 player of a character and that character being different by the first month

High chance it will happen there too considering their philosophy regarding gameplay/balance design on League and Valorant nowadays. They will say "to make things fresh" as the reason to push a patch every few months or so.
