That mode is way too imbalanced.
There are too many mechanics in this game that are utterly unfair in a random 1v1 environment.
This mode would only be fair, if everybody played the same hero.

Yes please! It’s so stupid that there can be 4 Roadhogs and 3 Pharahs but your’re Tracer.

Pharah is whatever. But Brigitte and McCree? You just get unlucky they press their “I win” button" and you may as well release the mouse.

Once you get to diamond and beyond a lot of the Roadhogs go away, and Brigitte pretty much disappears. That’s my experience at least.

Let me guess. It’s 8 McCrees?

Genji, Mccree, Doomfist, and Tracer are usually the thing’s I’ve seen in Diamond. Roadhog does exist but he usually just feeds ult.
Well, I wanted to one trick Widow, and had a really really horrible time.
Needs to score differently. Points gained by what % of hp you contributed to a kill and make it like 1st to 3000 points or w/e.
So if you do 30% dmg to McCree and he dies then you get 30 pts. If you did 100% then you get 100 pts.]
that or allow voting for hero bans

The last hit nonsense is annoying, but that’s a traditional FFA issue.
What’s not is awful hero balance. Like if you get unlucky to encounter a hero with a stun you are just dead… It’s awful.
Blizzard has never balanced for arcade modes. You pretty much take it for what it is or don’t play it.
No, its just a plain dumb idea to have such a mode like this in a team based game. None of the heroes are balanced enough for a FFA mode of any kind, hell the OW team said it themselves; but the OW team being what they are; caved to the masses. I guess thats just big business for ya…
Unpopular opinion: FFA has always been more balanced than any other game mode. You can run pretty much everything except Zarya if you’re good enough.

Are you high right now? lol
There isnt a single thing about FFA thats balanced, with maybe the slight exception for the maps being decent enough.
100% serious. I don’t feel particularly disadvantaged picking any of the characters I usually play and have won 1st on like half the roster.
it’s a good idea. It’s also not really necessary, the mode is very balanced if there aren’t any hogs.

Actually you’re right. I’ve been trying to play Reinhardt, Orisa, Winston, ect. but Zarya is absolutely trash. I struggle to get even one kill on Zarya, and I can actually win with Winston/Rein and do OK (not last place, maybe top 4) with Orisa. Afaik every other hero does better than Orisa and Zarya, with Zarya probably being the absolute last.
i sadly have decided to try to climb with tracer, as i was also going to use this as a sort of aim/mechanic practice as well. placements were decent… then every match was 2 moiras, 3 mcrees, 1 brigitte, similar stuff like that. just spirit-breaking
i gave up being tracer. =(
Go Doomfist, he’s really fun in that mode.

Imagine an all mercy ffa haha!
-A Mercy main that can’t play DPS or FFA for that matter
Maybe they caved in because a lot of people wanted it and the masses were already aware of what FFA would be like in a game like this. A lot of people do like FFA, otherwise it wouldn’t always be in the arcade rotation if it wasn’t so popular.
I would say this is true just because you only need to be top 50% of the lobby to win, which is fairly easy on almost every hero.
