I refuse to pick player characters in a sensible way and you can't make me

I, like others, played the open beta of Diablo II: Resurrected at the weekend. It's Diablo II, but nicer! Although, this post isn't strictly about Diablo II, it's just it reminded me of an issue I run into when choosing classes in games, which is that I go off the Rule of Cool. If one character looks awesome (according to my own tastes, at least) I will usually pick that character, regardless of how that character plays or whether I will be good at it.
