I'll preface by saying that, of the characters not deconfirmed early (my poor, beloved Krystal), K. Rool was one of the few on my shortlist of wanted newcomers that actually made it in (funny enough, so did Simon, only really Skull Kid and a couple out there picks like Monster Hunter didn't make it) and he was pretty dang high up on that list. So him turning out to be legitimately good was a wonderful surprise.
However, and I hate to be on the whole anti-bandwagon/hipster side of things, and while I understand it's still very very early in the game's life and so much can and will change (remember when Bowser was set to be top tier last time around?), it also means that one of the newcomers I was most excited to use for reasons beyond being one of the current best characters in the game is absolutely everywhere because he's so damn good. It also makes him a potential early target for balance changes due to that overexposure, which could result in him getting hit harder than he really maybe should be. It's not really that I dislike seeing him used so much or even that I'm worried people will think I'm just using him because everyone else is or whatever, though I guess even that rings at least somewhat true, it's kinda hard to put into words I suppose. I dunno, am I alone on this one?
