The insanely quick change of the meta in MCOC

Context: I was in AW and was using void. I just saw him in my roster and decided “sure,he’ll do fine” I then remembered how I hadn’t played with void in a long time.(in general) this was because there were just way better options,such as CAIW,Hyperion,Doom,colossus,etc. I then realized how fast the meta in MCOC changed in the last few months Once everyone has themselves a doctor doom,BWCV,warlock,RG,HM,apocalypse,sasquatch,guardian,prof x or any fairly new champion,older champs like void,domino,stark spidey,doctor voodoo,IMIW,etc. Will be eventually forgotten. That’s not to say all older champs will suffer this fate,there’s still old champions that are used in content. Another factor is content like act 6 or act 7. I don’t think anybody is going to use abomination over doom for that content. So,yeah. Leave your thoughts below I guess

I’ve just recently r5 my void and don’t particularly think I’ll use him all that much but he still has use in circumstances
They need to make sure to not op some new champ that blows others away but it makes money
Then they silently nerf them and eventually they’re no longer seen as amazing
I realize the OP wasn't talking about solely void but rather the game in general. Whenever you have a game that releases two or more champs monthly yes the meta will change quickly. But don't confuse a change in meta with older champs becoming useless. You listed a bunch of champs you said were 'better' than void - in certain situations probably. But there are also some scenarios where void is the best option. There are probably even times where void is a better option for your goal but you prefer using other champs because they're newer and fresher so now you consider them 'better'.
I'm not trying to harp on anyone but saying a champ is irrelevant just because they're old is so wrong. And as someone who is using void a lot in act 6 exploration it frustrates me when people say champs aren't good anymore solely because there are new champs. You're right in saying no one is typically going to use abom over doom in act 6 that's not because abom is old that's because he sucks and isn't up to par. I bet people use hype over terax in content but hype is an older champ.
Then there's also abyss, and Void is an absolute MVP for the easy path.
Furthermore, I use my rank 5 max sig Void in AQ, war attack, defense, act 6, Variants, labyrinth (I haven't done Abyss yet), and anywhere I take him to, he absolutely slays!
One of our best players still cleans up w Blade/GR/Hyp as his.
Another is amazing w Voodoo, who he uses as a Havok counter.
We bounce between Tier 3 & 4, sit comfortably in Plat4...most of us have a couple 6r3, so “better” options are available, just not necessary.
Metas are always going to shift or there’s no point in the game existing and Kabam designing new champions. For some there is always going to be a reliable champ that can get through most content pretty well, other champs will discover that they have a few lines of code that makes them amazing at a very specific piece of content that has been released 3 years Later, it’s just how it works.
It's possible I might have been overreacting a bit either way.
Most effective tactic available.
So over time we have the best counters for the defenders. Also champs like Void and Rulk have a hugh comeback in this War map (not sure if Void was even gone since he was the best counter to IMIW with Flow)
Its just obvious that champs like Warlock Doom and HT become very popular bc they are very good in what they do.
Its has also to do with Stubborn ofc. Kabam wanted to ban or at least cripple Ghost/Quake in War and they did that.
They are still possible to play but often its not worth it.
My only criticism of void’s kit is that the order of his DOTs is random. Sometimes I want that power control up immediately but have to wait through 4 cycles to get it. Other than that, he’s a phenomenal champ. My 5* is maxed and if I ever dupe my 6*, I’ll bring him up too.
The only "meta" that shifts quickly is in AW. That's also only the case bc of defender tactics so only T5 and above. There's a whole lot of old champs that are incredibly useful all the way through Act 6, in AQ, in EQ, etc...
OP I use my void on a regular basis in war and was doing so when playing in T1. He is one of the champs who has very few bad matchups and can counter a lot of the difficult nodes/ champs out there. He also has one of the biggest health pools in the game along with crazy DOT damage and his utility
