I tend to normally be on the side of trying new stuff, but I agree, hero bans in a game where people select and get good at a specific hero is just a bad idea across the board.

You just spam a lot on many forums and have a fetish for listening to yourself. Youâre as deluded as the 99% people you think are less legitimate than you. Most of your 70k posts speak for themselves anyways.

Letâs agree to disagree. My fault anyways, I shouldnât have answered to someone I blocked a long time ago. My bad.
Can you name anybody in the community that has more class based shooter design experience than me?
it will backfire like last time they experimented with hero bans it didnt go well and the swap token stuff is just stupid in my opinion like im only have some skill with certain heroes if they are banne di would jsut look like a thrower

Exactly. Itâs literally impossible to have the same level of gameplay with every single hero from your role category, especially in the DPS role, with so many heroes with a diffrent type of gameplay.
Back when Role Queue didnât exist, flex players, who were famous for being the most skillful players among us, only mastered 2 heroes per role and that was enough to make a big change during a match.
Now with Role queue keeping us from switching roles, it enforced onetricking (or two tricking) even more. Implementing hero bans again would only make things worse, at a time where Competitive is already in a bad place because of its new system since the F2P update.
Darn, guess I lost that one.
How do I donate my post count to you?
You can have that 70k. I only came to the forums cause double shield was a thing in an fps
If only theyâd remove Sigs shield.
dps wise i only really work with Tracer (mostly) or Mei (AKA ice witch or elsa) on dps role while tank im typically dva and when i was palying support i was workign with Kiriko and mercy but mostly working kiriko but ive given up on support role but im kinda petrified to even play

What pro play? That scene thankfully died
Hey, you take that back! Emongg is a treasure of this community. You ainât want me to catch you stepping out yo house, boy.
I still agree with your sentiment overall, hero bans are inherently bad in a game where you can swap. They need to drop it already.
The eventual replacement for OWL. Blizz reportedly licensing the pro league out next year to companies who run leagues for other games.
Can we get a confirmation on âswap tokensâ before we just latch onto it?
To my knowledge Dexerto is the site that first reported on it, and Dexertoâs track record on news is about as reliable as ActivePlayer is for player population counts.
(meaning itâs dookie butter)
Sheâs the sole reason he and any other tank is powercrept to such a level.
Hero bans are a good idea IF done right.
Which means no weird crap like banning some select thing for everyone, just do the sensible thing and give each lobby a pregame vote phase where everyone can submit a vote on what to ban, then either ban the most popular or randomly select one vote from each team and ban those heroes for that match.
That way, even if your main is the most banned hero, you still get a shot at playing it fairly often rather than itâs just turned off for a week or whatever nonsense. It also keeps the bans relevant to the experience and skill levels of the players involved.

Sorry, but this argument doesnât help your case much. If youâre playing a competitive mode in a game, cosmetics should be the last thing you use as an argument to being against hero bans. Youâre there to win, improve, and ultimately rank up. Not put on a fashion show.

As frustrating as some heroes are to me, I would not go as far as introducing bans and anti swap things in the game. I feel like anyone should be able to play the hero they love the most and not be locked out of that
This can be great for competitive mode. I imagine that the rest of the no competitive modes could be played without restrictions.
