Title says it all a Ban phase makes balance 1000x easier. I propose 1 ban from each role and neither team can use the banned heros thoughts?

I rememer when blizzard added CHARACTERS ROTATION (Hero pool) into rank, it was a fun times ngl
terrible idea, they tried that once it was not well received.

It wasn’t done the way the community actually wanted. They forced hero pools which were also often decided by a literal cat, which is why it wasn’t received well. What the players actually wanted was for each player to be allowed to ban 1 hero from the pool each game before it starts. I think it would also allow them the freedom to get a little bit more whacky and creative with the patches because if something’s too broken or unhealthy BOOM it’s banned most games until the next patch

its also a bad idea conceptually to implement hero bans, and the potential of putting your team at a higher risk of losing.
Nah if they put in a ban system that would be my final straw. Like for real Paladins has it and even though I think the gameplay is more fun than OW I couldn’t stand their ranked. Oh boy sitting in lobby for 7 minutes while ppl afk and pick/ban is a GREAT positive to the overall experience. Not.
You know what other game had bans? League of Legends. League you similarly spend like 40% of your time actually playing the game and the rest in matchmaking, pick/ban phase, queue dodging, doing it all over again, game finally loads and you finally buy items and the game still doesn’t start for a while and then you have boring early laning phase till you finally have a team fight maybe and it’s a reason I quit amongst many.
OW already takes far too long to get into a game and then once you do the game lengths are far too long. No one wants to sit through both sides of a 20 min game when you have a bot on one of the teams. And with their matchmaking it happens frequently. That it has 7 wins to reveal your progress just makes it entirely worse.
Only win from the whole thing would be if you could ban the entire tank class so the game is actually fun.
Ah yes lets banpeoples main because the hero is not luked, 90% of the time it will be used to ban heros people in the match done like, or they think it is op because they keep die to that hero in other games, if you want more players to leave keep banning heros
They should trial it for a season, or half of a season. If it’s not received well, abandon it. Proper bans, not hero pool nonsense.

Too many one tricks in this game, especially content creators who are “special”, theyl get their heroes banned every game and theyl cry on discord and get it removed
They tried this once and it didnt go well, paladins also uses this and well we all know the state of that game
we need a pick phase game mode
yup i didnt play, was lots of fun going outside.
I disagree. Adding a ban phase would side-steps hero imbalances, shifting the burden of balancing to the players.
There should be 3 bans per team, ALL DPS heroes.
Bro shut up that was NOT a ban phase

im not your bro buddy! also you are stupid.
nice projection pleb.
90% of the time? What are you basing this number off of? And who says people will target ban the majority of the time accounts are set to private?

People see the same names, and become familiar (higher ranks specifically) with who they play mostly. In my opinion, if you can only play 1 or 2 heros well, you don’t deserve a high rank. hero bans would force people to play more heros. Which I think is a good thing. Though, there’s only a few I enjoy playing myself.
I appreciate you typing a paragraph sharing your thoughts but its hard to take it seriously when you’re being EXTREMELY hyperbolic. You and I both know damn well a ban phase isn’t 7 minutes long nor would it be 60% of the match. You’re main problem seems to be how long it’d take but the times you’ve listed simply wouldn’t exist
