Why would anyone think this is a good idea?
They already tried this once and it got removed a few months later (Granted the implementation was horrible, but still)
In a game that promotes diverse playstyles and roster, you want to make it less diverse? Especially after going from 6v6 to 5v5?
Most of Overwatch’s heroes are only really good at one or two specific things, and they’re often pretty irreplaceable. You can’t just pick another, similar character and call it a day like you could in League of Legends.
People’s hero pools are too small for hero bans to make sense. Being able to ban a hero is like being able to ban one of the wheels on your opponent’s car. Games will be won or lost at the character select screen.
To give you an idea of when it might be appropriate: League of Legends started introducing champion bans when their roster was at around 50 characters. We’re not even close to being ready for that.
Uhhh yeah we are lol
