I don't know how active the devs are in reading this, but have you guys ever tried doing more than 6 heroes in your experiments?

exceeding 12 players per match would cause significant technical challenges (we’re highly optimized towards 12 right now). experimenting with less than 12 is more realistic. it’s not that we cannot do it… it’s that the cost would be extremely high.

As I read this, it’s technically not impossible, but would take serious resources that might not be worth the pay-off.

If they did ever do it, I think they’d need to feel they could fully commit to it as a sure thing and not just an experiment.
