There's a little screenshake, and your reticle kicks a bit, and that's it. In the process of being converted from high-powered weapons to bread-and-butter combat and traversal tools they lost their chaotic charm the simple act of firing a rocket, one of video gaming's most primal joys, doesn't do all that much for me in Rocket Arena. The problem is that Rocket Arena's rockets don't feel that explosive.
Grappling to the top of a rocky outcropping, floating around in her frosty field that makes her shots extra fast and everybody else's bullet-time slow, and raining frozen death on the enemy team was the highlight of my team with Rocket Arena. To be fair, I didn't end up maining either of those characters in their respective games after the initial infatuation ended, and it only took me one match with Kayi to know we were going to be best friends. Though each design is distinct, I didn't feel immediately drawn to any one character based on their looks alone - the way that I looked at Pharah or Pathfinder and knew right away I wanted to be that one. Each character also has special ways of getting around the map or repelling enemy attacks.
They all fire rockets as their primary weapons, but they each have different takes on the idea: there's Jayto, who fires a bunch of fast, hard-hitting missiles, or Kayi, who can charge up her explosive crossbow bolts for extra speed, or Blastbeard, who fires arcing cannonballs. Each of the 10 characters included at launch has their own unique look, story, and special abilities. Rocket Arena is a hero shooter like Overwatch or Apex Legends.
