There needs to be a season where they’re are absolutely zero buffs around the board.

The problem with rivals is that there are too many character who are just significantly better than everyone else. Tanks do not need to be the same strength as Dino. Tanks should be risky to 1v1 but they shouldn’t demand you change your entire team comp to counter one of them. Dps should be able to reliably get kills but they shouldn’t get the handed to them like black cat and phoenix do. Healers should have a impact on the fight, but they shouldn’t make the entire game base around them just because of their ult. Looking at you gambit. The base level of this game isn’t bad, but the outliers literally ruin the game for anyone playing Normal characters
