That's your lack of foresight. You still don't understand that I'm not advocating for the SOD paradigm or the VT paradigm. I'm advocating for unification. Do you get it?
At least because new players, after randomly winning a couple of times, become interested, and thus, whether they like it or not, they gradually become part of the Heroes community. Over time, they learn the basics and improve their skills. That's why people don't leave, so they can return. And if a person realizes that there is no chance, they won't play anymore. The key to the game's prosperity is the success of young players.
If you listen to you, the Klitschko brothers should have remained champions until old age. Because any teenager would immediately get knocked out by them in the ring, and that would be the end of their career.

But such a thing won't take root anywhere, and that's a fact.
