My guess is that the bans will be proportionally to each role.
So they will probably ban 1 hero from the tank and support category and 3-4 heroes from the damage category.
It’s a great idea for OWL but I don’t really like restricting choice to the players, because if you can’t play the heroes you enjoy, then what’s the point of playing?
It makes sense in moba games where the hero pool is massive but the overwatch pool is tiny in comparison.
you do realize every single one of those tournaments banned fighters before patching was a thing?
for instance in evo smash melee tournaments ice climbers were banned because of their infinite grab combo loop.
you literally have 0 idea what you are talking about.
Developer forced Doomfist, Pharmercy and Wrecking ball meta because somebody banned their counters will surely make players happy. 
What in the literal world does this have to do with the example I gave? Is Smash a new installment of Street Fighter I haven’t heard about? Holy wow, this is an amazingly awful post.
The League community would like a word with you.
you claimed those tournaments don’t ban.
they do. you are wrong.
The league community can’t hold a candle to how awful this community is.
No, top level Street Fighter & Starcraft tournaments do not ban characters or strategies. CSGO doesn’t ban guns. This is an Overwatch thing. Sorry, you are objectively wrong. Only the Overwatch team is unable to balance their game.
lul ok, think what you want
evo 2012 banned oni from streetfighter.
stop. you have 0 idea what you are talking about.
Thanks! I definitely will!
Ice climbers were never banned in any tournament whatsoever.
They only banned the infinite grab combo named “Wobbling” from major tournaments.
So glad that in the decade since, they’ve learned to balance the game and haven’t had to resort to the Overwatch strategy of just disabling what you’re too incompetent to fix.
akuma was banned at evo last year.
stop talking. I keep bating you into saying things you have 0 idea about.
More player choice is being restricted. I’m this close to never opening overwatch again
Sorry - he was not, lol. Looks like you just lied. Multiple players played Akuma all the way through the tournament.

akuma was banned at evo last year.
