Acheron is a meta DPS (along with Firefly having the highest rate of player pulls for recent DPS)
I mean it really sounds like, from what you're describing, newer units are making older units obsolete. Hence my comment about I really don't think they should be designing such that there's obvious advantage like this. I'm getting from the other comment thread that you're saying this is the result of dungeon design, but it's effectively achieving the same effect: only have one meta DPS at a time. That's bad game design because...again, why bother investing when in another 4-5 months, new DPS is gonna take over as the new meta.
I mean, there's no chance of any older units ever returning back to the meta cycle based on what you're describing, so anyone who ever invests in any character is purely doing it for pretty and not gameplay unless they try to whale. That's pretty much the fastest way to generate churn. And most service games want to minimize churn.
