I don't want to play meta.
There is a reason why I prefer to play Wattson, Rampart or Fuse. All 3 are Legends who's style I absolutely adore. Yet the use behind those characters is limited. An Octane can very quickly overcome the abilities of these 3. You trap a squad with an Octane in a ring of fire? Trampoline out of it. You've built a well-crafted defense? Octane will just hop over it. You've built a lot of fences to deny an area? Octane goes whee.
At the current point of the game you could just go ahead and create a character who blinks 10 meters forward when tapping the sprint button with a 4 second cooldown, and it wouldn't even come off as weird or overpowered because that's literally what the game is built around.
I remember in Season 4 - when I was relatively new - I made a suggestion about a character who can fly with their tactical. Not even in an extreme manner, just a slight air-hop thing. Everyone went wild and said "That's so freaking OP" or "That would outclass almost every legend!" - Valkyrie is here, and no one gives a crap about it. People in fact adore that it's her passive instead of a tactical.
I'm not one for changing the whole premise of a game, but at the current state there are two options. Reduce the viability of mobile legends, or give drawbacks to being mobile in the first place. At the current time, using Legends like Rampart, Wattson, Caustic, Fuse or Revenant has little reward. The amount of times my squad and I built a well-crafted defense, only to be diminished by flying, jumping or grappling enemies is astonishingly high.
