Hero bans are stupid

everyone exists to keep each other in check.

bans are a complete and utter crutch for your inability to adapt and in overwatch? what are we doing here?

i don’t want a highly curated game where everyone can just take out the things they dont like. its making matches less interesting. banning widow is just pushing everyone to only play ashe and soj. banning sombra means ball doesn’t have a hard counter anymore. if you main someone you get to watch your vote not count in real time, even if your entire team doesn’t vote against you.

its just silly as hell and i didn’t think they’d actually add it to the game. used to also be that entering a game was quick and immediate. this phase takes like an extra 2 minutes on top of the wait time.

this does nothing to help the balance of the game, its a bandaid and the game will suffer for it

It’s ironic that you are complaining about people who can’t adapt.

Isn’t it only removing 3 characters?
How is that “highly curated”?

Dare I say it?
Skill issue?

So you can’t adapt to not being able to play those characters?

don’t even play this game with me, I play literally every character and have done for years. i am efficient at everyone and bans don’t affect me because I have multiple mains across all 3 categories

if you need to have the hard parts of the game taken out so you can enjoy yourself it’s your fault for not figuring out how to better deal with those. this has been the truth for 9 years - not being able to deal with a hero has always been a skill issue.

Is stuff like swapping to Zarya to zap D.Va really skillful adaptation? I would say not.

If I could replace any and all Widows with Ashe, I would. I don’t see Widow getting banned on her maps as a problem, I see it as a great result.
