I think this game should still promote hero-swapping as needed, but I think it can be frustrating especially for Tanks playing against each other- I think hero switching should only be allowed to happen as many times as the player uses their ultimate ability.
1 Ultimate = 1 Charge to switch characters.
That way, there’s not the constant switching between heroes you see at lower levels of competitive play.
Thoughts?
nah horrible idea imo. imagine coming out of spawn as reinhart or something but the enemy is like dva genji so all your fire strikes are being deflected/eaten and lets say circumstances just straight up prevent you from ever building your ult for the entire round.
I’ve seen plenty of games where some one just CANT build their ult the whole round… being unable to swap would just make that so much worse.
swapping when ever you wanted has always been the intended way to play the game. there shouldn’t be limits on swapping - they already make you lose all but 15% of your ult charge when you swap so I think that’s enough.
Back when we didnt have hero limit and role lock people used to say “being able to play any hero you want has always been the way game was intended to play” .
Here we are.
So i think SOME limitations should be there to switch heroes. Or a disincentive
So if you get countered or struggling, you wouldn’t be able switch hero. So you would be dragging your whole team down until you could finally waste one ultimate.
Also not heroes are equal regarding ultimate gain.
