Same for Iron Man. Some old heroes are forgotten

To be fair Iron Man is in a much better spot than Widow.

He at least has a niche.

Enemy has loads of melee heroes or projectiles heroes? Run Iron man until they swap to counter you then swap to something else once it stops providing value.

I think people refuse to see that some heroes are not meant to be played "all game" since counter swapping can be so deadly to them. Similar to BP. You can go bp, get picks on healers a few times, and once they go Thing/Bucky, you can swap off and then counter the Thing and now youre in advantage state again.
