Jiggs is a weird case though where she is a 1:1 melee jiggs in PM, its just that the game around her changed to showcase how polarizing she was in melee... in a bad way.
PM is in a weird spot PR wise in that the Design team essentially unleashes HUGE open betas to the world that people play and take as final, while hundreds if not thousands of iterations between all characters and such happen backstage. The PMDT have done an amazing job all things considered given there are about 10ish "top characters" that all do very well competitively. However, little things here and there push or pull how a character performs in ways that only time would have found out, such as the tether system eventually conditioning the meta to not even bother going for edge guards on them due to the risk.
