Guys, I had this really epical idea where every couple weeks, we ban 1 hero from each role for all ranks to diversify team comps. Basically, the most picked heroes in a role will get banned from the game for 2 weeks, and during those 2 weeks the devs will track data on who’s most picked when the banned heroes are gone. When the 2 weeks are up, those new 3 heroes get banned while the original 3 get unbanned
Idk been hearing a lot of talk about hero bans, just thought this was even coolierlier 
no
“Yes officer…this person right here”
Just as long as your cat is the one picking.
This was an unironically great way to diversify comps. Glad we had this, if only for one season.
It was interesting on paper, but in practice it just led to most of the best picks being banned, which made a countermeta, and the same heroes ended up cycling. If I recall, Widow and McCree or Ashe basically spent the entire time swapping places because the state of the game kinda mandated a consistent, burst hitscan, so regardless of what was banned we had the same problem… and a different tank/support lineup that was kinda just shakier than what players would’ve picked on their own
Player decided bans would’ve just been a better tool for both players and devs. Okay, yeah, hypothetically maybe high elo would decide “every single game widow is banned.” Is that a players problem, or is that a “the best players unanimously agree the devs haven’t properly balanced Widow or the game for Widow to exist” problem?
No we do not need that again
I still can’t believe they really used a cat
