The problem with that is meta comps make that rather unfair. If my team, for example, bans Reinhardt, but the enemy team bans Ana, guess who is most likely going to win that battle?
You’d see the same handful of heroes banned every game, otherwise the meta comp will just obliterate the team that didn’t ban the meta comp. And that creates the problem with the lack of translatable skills, because someone who has put in hundreds of hours on Reinhardt is suddenly dead weight.
Like, anyone playing against NYXL is just gonna ban Zenyatta. Jjonak would pretty much stop existing. Sure, that forces him to learn other heroes/etc, but that won’t change that Jjonak’s Zenyatta plays (which are arguably some of the best entertainment value in OWL) are done for.
