If you notice those heroes are from the previous meta, so I think this list was planned weeks ago and feels outdated

Is this a joke? A bug? Orisa and Baptiste? And Mei, after the wall nerf (I would like to see the results)? Please tell me this is a bug

Mei has the biggest impact on this list – I think this is a good start for the system. And I think everyone will be pleased to not have to deal with the ice queen for awhile.

Why Orisa is the real question here.

I am guessing the drew the 3 shield tanks at random. Probably the same for the top dps and supports as well. I was personally hoping to see Moira or Ana on the list. And Reinhardt.

lmfao no mei and hanzo oh yassssssss
I was hoping for reinhardt
It would have had a big impact.
In my games hardly anyone plays hanzo, baptiste or Orisa, so it kinda feels like there are no bans at all, at least for me

Sounds like anti-dive got banned.
Despite people saying Orisa is utterly bad, she had around 17%PR in OWL
Orisa could still function as an anti dive tank

So now I can’t play one of my favorite characters. Great idea blizzard. That definitely makes me want to play more!

I feel you, that’d be me if Mercy would be banned, but I at least could still play Moira XD

Really confused on the orisa ban, but meitiste being banned is interesting, at least no immortality/ wall off for a week
This is banning bunker-style play; basically, without Orisa or Baptiste bunker comps take a hit, and without Mei Dive can be run with much more impunity. Hanzo eliminates mid-range burst and some tankbusting, so this very much looks set up to see whether players will favor Dive or Brawl.
I just want to play Sigma.
I had a fantastic game earlier with diamonds against masters too. It was glorious. Quintuple kill ult. Killed the Hanzo shortly later.
IN QUICK PLAY. -_-
Still though. It felt good making Sigma work against Rein/Hog. Outplayed Rein/Hog with Sig/hog.
Thanks for banning double barrier, devs! This is what we needed this season!
