Look, the whole point of making a hero shooter is making the heroes really different, to increase the variety of the game! Homogenizing them in this way is always a bad choice. Why all abilities have a 45s cd, that only would work if all the abilities are the same, but you don't want to have all the abilities to be the same, it's ok if some of them are powerful but you can't use them very often, or have abilities not as good but with a quick recharge that defines the champion.

Heroes with different abilities was a mistake but the market doesn't want a straight up arena shooter right now. Homogenize them all the way down to getting rid of weight classes and abilities, I say.

 There's a game called PWND that is basically a modern day rocket arena and it makes me sad it never got more than like 30 players concurrent. Its sense of humor can be a bit much, but it's a really solid shooter.

This but make quad damage x4 again.

This must be why Quake Champions instead calls it "quud".

Just give us servers for every different mode that run continuously 24/7 and a browser to find them.

But how will I have fun if my winrate isn’t exactly 50%?!
