Nine classes with genuinely distinct roles and readable silhouettes, which is why matches stay legible at a glance almost twenty years on. Free, and the core design has aged remarkably well. The barrier is everything layered on top: cosmetics, an opaque item economy, and long-standing bot problems in casual queues that Valve has been slow to address.
