The beauty of this game is that you can play absolutely anything, take any approach, engage in any way of playing it, and you can make it work, or even kick ass, so ignore the people that tells you you need to play this way or the other and pick this or that, even if they say it is for your own good (or specially if they say that, those are the ones that created the blaster rush teams issue, not to mention, if people complains about, looks down on, or vetoes your choice for a run, while it is their right of choice, they are not the best kind of player to tag along with anyway) that there is archetypes and powerset combos that function way, way better than others is true, that there are those that require way, way more work and investment put into them to make them viable is true too, but play what makes you happy or fulfills your vision for a hero/villain, if you play something you don't like you gonna get bothered soon enough, after that, you can decide how much you want to learn, dig around, grind for so you make your choice shine.
