Every Step You Take is so far on the right that it doesn’t show on the chart.

To be fair, Gaylord is an actual name that exists, and yet, you probably don’t know any.

And then there’s Pluto, by Naoki Urasawa, which is what would happen if Philip K. Dick decided to write an Astro Boy story.

(It’s a reinterpretation of “The Greatest Robot on Earth”, and was supervised by Tezuka’s son, 100% worth a read)

“Nanny Ogg knew how to start spelling ‘banana’, but didn’t know how you stopped.”

The OuLiPo is a French creative writing comitee created in the 60’s that uses original constraints to foster original works.

One of their most famous works is A Void (La Disparition in French), which is a 300 page novel entirely written without using the letter E, which is the one banned by the instance. (And yes, there is an English translation that was also written entirely without the letter E)

Way way waaaay back on release (or was it in beta?), there wasn’t any hero limit. You could pick 6 Winstons and go full monke on your opponents.

Then they made each hero unique, but you were still free with comps. You could pick 3 tanks and 3 healers, or 5 DPS and a poor tank who’d get flamed for letting his team die.

Eventually they settled on a fixed 2-2-2, which was extremely boring and basically killed any kind of interesting strat or just fun play.

Plot twist: kiloueka is a robot who is trying to goad humans into solving captchas for them.

It’s a Gracie, so they probably counted that on their w/l record.
