Mining game is really out for everyone even if you invest in ASICs. There are huge farms using ASICs to mine Bitcoin. Even with new hardwares, it may become obsolete even before you ROI. Alt coins are relatively volatile so it wouldn't be a good choice too.
The thing about hunting altcoins, is that you need GPUs. GPUs are adaptable, in contrary to ASICs. If a new algo comes out tomorrow, big chance that it will support GPUs, even from start.
ASICs become much faster obsolete that way, unlike GPUs. And even then, ASICs can only be resold as paperweight, a GPU can still find its way to a second hand gaming setup.
I don't advice anyone who is into mining for fun and hobby to invest into ASICs, they become boring before they're obsolete
