The notion that NetEase would quickly run out of well known characters is absurd.
For a while now I’ve seen discourse about how Rivals can’t add a well known/beloved character into the game every season because they’d run out in just a couple years.
With the addition of Dino, of course this discussion has begun again and I’d just like to put it to bed.
I’ve made a list of well known heroes/villains I think have potential to be added to the game, all of which are fairly well known. I was able to make this off the top of my head so I’m sure there’s much more missing.
My count is: 86
That means if they dropped these characters in succession from now on, they’d have 7 years worth of content or just 3 yrs under Overwatch’s current existence.
If they’re afraid to do that, they could add a well known and an unknown every season. Stretching it to 14 years. Or about 3/4 tft2’s current existence.
As a tank main, I like the addition of Dino and I think he’s fun to play.
However, to think they couldn’t add well known characters every season because of burnout is just silly.
Feel free to add to my list
Edit: Clearly people haven’t read the whole post. FAIRLY well known. This is a game geared towards comic fans, no? While a lot of these characters are not the faces of marvel, they’re more well known than Elsa Bloodstone amongst the casual comic reader. A lot of characters were introduced to me through cartoons, etc. Like most. I’m not saying I’d rather have Nick Fury over a Dino, but the notion that they CAN’T is just objectively not true.
