New hero bans are in:

3 direct and indirect widow counters. Guess I’ll pick widow back up, reluctantly, since there’s probably gonna be a duel requirement.

I would like them to do very drastic bans on the experimental. 3 tank bans 7 dps bans and 2 support bans. maybe even , orisa, reinhardt, and winston, sigma banned as well. to have like hammond main tank and then see what they do. the bans are pretty crazy they are doing right now. not to crazy though. but I think maybe they should experiment a lot on the experimental

Oh man I forgot about that. Welp. This is gonna be interesting once it sinks in.

just to experiment on these use the experimental or something. imagine the possibilities. of 10 banned a week. or maybe 2 dps 1 tank and 1 support and every 2 days add a random character to have 6 banned at the end. idk. although these are major changes. perhaps I am in a creative mood rn lol.

Which will be pretty weird to see, because according to the forum, Mercy isn’t viable and unplayable, so “no one” plays her.

The week she’s banned: “omg why was she banned?!?!?”

Don’t ban both of them, just Zarya.

Show us how the “king” Rein works with other tanks.

RIP Ball and Mercy OTP’s. Other than that, meta will be pretty normal.

yes :slightly_smiling_face:

Mercy finally got hit in the hero bans! Expected it but probably won't change too much since she's generally pretty niche outside of those who main her

Lucio's gotta be next though right? pic.twitter.com/WwZ1Q3zZfv

I’m with Niandra on this. Doubt we’ll see much of a shift because out of her mains, nobody really does play her.

If anything it might boost up Lucio’s or Brig’s play since she’s usually picked as an off-healer in the first place. (Zen could see some pick changes but with CC still as rampant even without Hammond I don’t think he’ll last after the initial pick).

Nah, it’s fact. Overwatch without Lucio isn’t fun

Ask any pro, t2, or even t3 player

I dont think i gona base my personal opinion on a hero being fun or not on someone else opinion, but rather on my own point of view, where i always didnt liked to be forced to play that hero.

At least Hanzo is banned, which is good.

All hitscan heroes are back though, which sucks.

So basically the point of this weeks bans is to see what the actual meta of the game is right now as we have not gotten a glimpse of that all season.

Is this like “let’s see what consoles do” week or something?

If Baptiste had been the first one to get banned twice after all the other supports got kicked, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. Let’s just hope either Lucio or Zen go next week
