Gosetsu, Yukiri, Hien, Esternien, Ice Heart all had the same or far less screen time than WL and they'll all heroic characters. While not all of them are "great", they're all at least "good". At the sametime, if I say WL is "not that bad", that would just me being extremely polite. Heck, Moenbryda got introduced in one patch and killed in the next and still left a much stronger and more positive impression.

It's not about the time, it's what you do with it. You can cut WL's time in half, or you can double and I doubt the perception about the character would change. One pile of crap, two pile of crap or half a pile of crap, the amount ain't gonna change the fact they're still just crap.
