I’m starting to think that having one ban per team might be a good idea for competitive. Brigitte as we all know is extremely powerful, and forcing the entire meta around her. She is not the first and will not be the last hero like this. If each team got the chance to ban one character that neither team could play this would help mitigate this. It would also help the game stay “fresh” as each team could strategize a ban that would help the strengths of their team or hurt the strengths of the enemy’s team. What does everyone think about this, great idea or terrible idea?
I kind of love this idea, it also encourages people to learn more than one character since they’d be at risk for the character to be locked out. But then what does a team do when that salty one-trick just leaves?
You can’t have a ban system in a game that’s primary focus is swapping off heroes to counter others/ stop being countered.
It will not work. Teams will just ban a hero that is a primary counter to thier best hero.
If going to ban every new hero we may not have new heroes as well then.
Paladins has it and it is terible feature. Ppl always ban the same heroes making them unusable and frocing the meta around the bans.

Hopefully the one trick would leave early so it wouldn’t cause the team a problem, but I think true one tricks would fall extremely hard if they did this
it’d always be the same old stuff, sym, torb and doom getting banned. even though theyre more than viable in the right hands
Every new hero wouldn’t be banned, just op heroes. I think it would be more like league where people ban a variety of heroes. They ban op heroes or just heroes they are not good against. With overwatch there are normally multiple heroes that are very powerful at a single time so I don’t see this being a problem
As much as i want to not play against a brigitte ever again, this would be annoying to people who main off meta heroes. Like what happens to torb mains? never get to play torb again? its really hard to impliment safely and i dont think its a good idea for the health of the game
I doubt sym and torb would be banned, especially at the higher elos because they normally are not good picks, also people should be able to play more than one heroes in a game based on swapping around the enemy
