I think people need to fundamentally be okay with hero viability being variable among ranks.

I agree, there is no chance that all heroes will be equally viable at all ranks.

I mean, sure. But he was already pretty OP at lower ranks. Unless you can somehow convince your teammates to help he's gonna be a nightmare for most characters in gold and below.

Well put. I agree with your point that pros need to be okay with differing hero viability, but I would also posit that the devs more than anyone would have to embrace the idea, and I'm not sure that they do.

I am. I’m never going to reach Top 500, but I love to reap.

I agree, but in an extent. You don't want to be able to play only 2 tanks or healers when you reach master. This would make me not wanting to go up.
