Might need a forced counter-mode

between QP and Comp.
add the counter play mode into there.

Rules:
team mates can alert you that youre being countered.
ignoring alerts leads to getting kicked from the match (unwilling to counter), so that a new player can join (no SR loss).

so the people would maybe get how to play this game and that onetricking is bad.

And what madman would even want to play this mode on the first place? :thinking:

And how would being “countered” be defined exactly? It’s rarely so cut and dry that an automated system would be able to do a proper job of judging.

We need a Counter-Post mode that posters can tell OP that their thread has serious issues.

So, lets say I choose Sombra to counter Wrecking Ball, yeah? But the rest of the team are derpheads who think Sombra is completely useless and try to spam this counter feature on me even though I’ve been successfully neutering Hammond while also still doing pretty well with helping out against the rest of the team.

Do I comply with the idiots demands, swap to something else, and watch Hammond destroy the team, thus lose the game? Or do I keep countering Hammond and risk being kicked for it? Maybe I go Mei and get counterspammed by my team again for being on a non meta character and get kicked anyway?

Basically my point is its way too abusable by idiots. Just spam people with this feature till they swap to a hero you approve. Because counters usually aren’t cut and dry like that, and many times you may be countering one of the enemy’s big threats while being soft countered yourself

Crazy Hanzo main carry game.

enemy team … pick Widow.

Hanzo get kicked out of match.

Have you maybe considered that some people don’t switch to counter because they cannot reasonably play the hero they’re expected to play?
