Yes , please keep forgetting about 2018 <| sep |> That ' s the meta for the toptier players that can actually build such a team . That ' s not possible for everyone who does not have access to all those special heroes . Some people have to make due with a few extra normal heroes . And considering he did not know Da Qiao was no longer meta I think it ' s safe to assume he ' s one of those people . Sera may or may not be viable in Master and beyond , but anyone who is struggling to fill out their team with decent heroes could do much much worse than Sera . Especially since she is very good for PvE too , so the investment would not be wasted if you needed to replace her later . I wish this game had more heroes like that . Not everyone has to be toptier meta viable , but there ' s too few even semiviable normal heroes . They always get shut down so hard by changing metas .
