Characters in games get too easily and quickly nerfed?

In most first person shooters there is usually one character and/or weapon that is more powerful then the others. This quickly makes people upset because people will nine out of ten times play as that character. Just look at the sawed off shotgun in Max Payne 3 and Bastion in Overwatch. These are some examples of characters and weapons  that are ridiculously strong and will melt most players in seconds. This wouldn't be a problem if people wouldn't feel a need to constantly play as these characters or use these weapons but unfortunately a lot of sad sacks of shit can only play as these characters or use overpowered weapons.


So people are to blame and not the characters and weapons in the game?


Well it's a bit of both, because if the characters and weapons that are overpowered wouldn't be in the game then these sad sacks of shit couldn't use them and would have to actually learn to play the game as everyone else. But it's really the people that make this a problem because if you could just play matches where people wouldn't have to use overpowered characters or weapons to win then there wouldn't even be a problem! Because in every multiplayer match I've played in Max Payne 3 there would always be someone that had to use the sawed off shotgun, no matter what mode or what map you play. The same can be said about Bastion, because no matter what mode or map you play as there seems to be always some douchebag that has to play as Bastion in Overwatch to actually get some kills.


People that use overpowered characters and weapons are terrible at the game?


That's what you expect and I think in some cases it might actually be true, but the thing is that a lot of people just prefer to take the easy road and get as many kills as possible. Even if this is done with an overpowered character and/or weapon. What I have noticed in Overwatch is that a lot of people that play as Bastion have played more than ten or sometimes even twenty hours as Bastion in the game, while they have hardly played as any of the other characters and sometimes they haven't even played as certain characters (often healers). So what kind of people use overpowered characters and weapons? Often people you don't want to play games with because these people want to win and get kills at any cost, while they forget the part about having fun and remember it's just a game.


Characters and weapons that are overpowered should be nerfed?


That's what everyone is screaming for and I guess in a way they have a point, I also hate the sawed off shotgun in Max Payne 3 multiplayer and Bastion, Torbjörn and Junkrat players in Overwatch because it takes zero skill to play as these characters and they can be a real annoying addition to a team when you play in a team of random people. Of course you can counter them, for example Genji is good against Bastion but a smart Bastion player just stops shooting when Genji deflects and then continues shooting after the deflection and since Bastion can cut down even the guy with the most health (Roadhog has 600 health) in two seconds, you can imagine how easy it is to kill everyone else in even a shorter time. I know that these people will never go away, there will always be sad sacks of shit to constantly go for these easy tactics, why try to get better as certain characters when you can just sit in a corner and destroy anyone that moves around that corner? So the problem isn't really the game, so if a certain character and weapon gets nerfed or maybe even removed then these people will find something else. It's really the people that are to blame and unfortunately you can't remove them for playing as a sad sack of shit. So if you play competitive shooters then you gets these douchebags with it, unfortunately...
