Which post launch legend had the best launch?

Title sums up the question, I personally think Octane had the best launch in terms of balance but I think alot of people may disagree with me. 😅

@ExpertEpic99 I quite remember people saying he was weak. Valk had the best post launch reception. Everyone said she was strong but not OP when she was released. After a season, she became the top legend when everyone released Gibby bubble + Valk ult is the best positional combo.

As for the worst, I’d say Seer. He was literally game breaking. The launch of Seer was the same time the creator of the legend got fired so you can connect the dots on that one.

Ash was pretty balanced when she was released but right I’d say she’s leaning into the weaker legends that needs a tiny buff.

@Cheese9Man D.K wasn't fired because of Seer from what I remember, somebody dug up his past comments from several years prior "racism and sexist ones ", Respawn didn't want the bad publicity and let him go "the idea of don't post stupid stuff online, your employers will eventually see it". I do admit he was fired before the emergency nerf, I think that's were somebody at Respawn or Respawn in gen. said "Seer was not supposed to launch in this state" which I think either meant Seer was supposed to be season 11 "his bp was insect kinda themed, abilities are very suited for open areas" and D.K had some way of pushing him forward, and / or that their was still discussion during season 9 what his kit would have to separate him from Crypto and BH, with D.K putting his ideal version of Seer into game as his final contribution, Respawn gave it the ok overestimating the playerbases ability to adapt.
