If you give 1 ban / person this could lead to a very funny situation where all the supports or tanks are banned.
Can you not? Can you absolutely not?
you are not even trying any more.
There has been so much “This game is not like the typical games that I play, please change it so that it closely resembles them.”
Overwatch is all about countering the other team. If you aren’t switching to counter, you are going to have a bad time along with your teammates.
And so it begins, the request to permanently kill the game because y’all just can’t accept what OW is and was supposed to be. Please OP, get your group together and remove the last unique thing this game has. I truly can’t wait to see that kind of circus.
Impossible. In order to do something like that, a lot of heros would need an heavy rework. Imagine being stuck in a game where you have Rein, Genji, Junkrat, Kiriko, Mercy and the opposite team just simply pick a Phara. She would just win the game by herself like she was playing vs bots.
Counters and missing interaction between heros are too strong in OW to take the swap mechanic out.
6v6 or 5v5 does not mean anything. Is just the heros’ design that dictate the nature of the game.
You would need to completely overhall every hero add ways to counter somthing if yiur team comp cant and would need to make the game more moba like, like paladins go try that out its fun but very diffrent game
Switching heroes is a must… its frustrating enough that players won’t when they’re hardcountered.
The only thing i would want is search based queues.
Let me disable Genji and queue myself into Genji free games.
A man can only dream of this paradise.
It stands out so high rn as view numbers on twitch from 600 000 down to 15k. I don’t think that any of the aspects in this game matters anymore.

Hero swapping is by far the most boring thing about OW2. Losing team just constantly swapping till we land on something really fun like orisa bastion junkrat. And then the losing team wins.
It’s really just “who can choose the most annoying comp” instead of “who plays best”. It really is time to move on to other things as a game.
One idea I had was locking you to your selection for the whole round, and you can switch between rounds. Another idea is locking you to a max number of switches per round.
Or maybe each time the spawn changes you get one switch?
No swapping would make a more strict game, which is not inherently bad. It’s actually somewhat desirable cause we already have more than enough light casual games in the workshop/arcade.
But then the burden of balancing the game will be much bigger and Blizz should also minimize all the (too)hard counter relations which arise naturally when there are many charactrers.
Blizz simply can’t do that. They either handed the burden of character balancing over to the players by hero swapping, low death penalty, or simply restricted the character selection(RQ).
Let me just say this:
Your team has a Junkerqueen, Lucio, Kiriko, Hanzo and Pharah.
Enemy team has an Orisa, Bastion, Soldier, Baptiste and Ana.
Since no one can EVER switch… Who wins?
Junkerqueen wins. You underestimate the antiair capabilities of both shotgun and knife
maybe swap limit per game with timers?
after 1 min all get 1 swap
then after 2 min (3min passed ) +1 swap again
5 min passed +1 swap
total 3 swaps at 5 min mark
Orisa, Bastion, and Soldier mow her DOWN. Then there’s the easy to kill Pharah with 2 rapid fire hitscans. Baptiste ults and whole team gets amped damage since everyone plays behind Orisa. Ana ults Orisa or Soldier and when they ult… team wipe.
Oh sorry thought they had the pharah not us. Well bastion and soldier can’t shoot pharah when axed in the face. You need to land a knife and pull one of them and always get aggressive when they are aiming at pharah. They can’t hit anything if they don’t have time to think.
You will have to watch out for javelin and spin so you don’t waste your axe swings. But with kiriko you are not vulnerable to being naded so really it’ll just come down to target focus, killing bastion or soldier fast, then moving to the other one fast.
Then ult should tip the scales. It is not a straight loss unless your dps and heals are trash, which they very well may be if they focus on your hero pick and stop playing the game.
