Sooo is Blizzard going to put a stop to the amount of hero’s you can swap in a match. Just played some dude who had to swap hero’s over 6 times. I think after 2 attempts, you shouldn’t be allowed to swap after that.
If you can’t swap anymore but your opponent can then you will be in a distinct disadvantage. The game would then become who can make who swap first.

I heard they were trying to make it that you can earn tokens so you can swap more then once but you won’t be able to without them.
They mentioned alot of things, and they all sounded bad. They just need to make it that one character doesn’t straight up hard counter another. Then you can swap if it helps you team, or stay and still do your job. They shouldn’t get rid of swapping, thats always been part of the game. Just swapping shouldn’t be the 100% best thing to do and gain an advantage over your opponent.

Why shouldn’t you be able to swap as many times as you want to?

I go D.va, you go Zarya.
I switch to Rein, You switch to Orisa.
Does that seem fair?
yes, welcome to overwatch…it is a part of the game, a core part of the game. they would be dumb to change it.

It seems fair to me. At least Orisa has to vaguely try against Reinhardt. They could have just gone Rammatra instead. You have to take whatever little victories you can.

Hero swapping is a big part of the game. Understanding the mechanics and abilties. How they interact with each other, what works against what, what doesnt work. It’s a HUGE part of the game, a huge part of the skillset.
I understand its annoying being counter swapped, but imagine if you COULDNT swap and they are running your counters. Like what if you picked hog and the enemy team is running ana, orisa, reaper or something and you’re stuck with him. It “solves” one problem only to create another.
Why are people so obsessed with control over other people´s play? Just mind your own business. This idea would destroy the whole game.
They don’t need to add hero swaps limitations imo, they just need to put the pickable passives back. Change the play-style, not the hero. Boom, problem solved.

If you’re not swapping, you’re not playing Overwatch. Try Call of Duty maybe?
Not after they buffed sombra. Need all the swaps i can get.
Better iterations on the pickable passives and they would work great. Some were too strong and a must pick for the roles. Even better would be separate passives tuned specifically for each character rather than blanket role passives that seem to do nothing on a few characters for each role.

Part of the game is counter picking. My argument is that if we limit the amount t of swaps, whoever swaps first will be at a disadvantage.
Less restrictions please thank you
