Too lazy or too busy with Overwatch 2 to create new content for Overwatch? Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to have role queues? Who thought it was a good idea to rotate maps in and out each season? Who thought it was a good idea to rotate heroes in and out each season? That one gets me really pissed off. There’s only 2 tanks I enjoy playing and one of them is locked out, while the other is lock picked most of the time. Don’t tell me to get good at other tanks. I don’t like any of the other tanks do they are not worth my time. Don’t tell me it adds a certain element of strategy because that’s a load of crap. Blizzard hasn’t done anything with this game for months other than ugly skins. Their thought is probably if they take characters out for a season and then bring them back, they’ll feel like new characters. You’ve taken away people’s mains and characters people enjoy playing as. I can’t remember any other game company be so lazy. I never heard of a company taking characters out. Might as well just shut the servers down. With all this garbage, it makes me not want to touch OW2 when it comes out. And to all you peon fanbois here, go ahead and flag this as trolling. You can’t handle other people’s opinions and rants cause you’re think you’re better than everyone who doesn’t agree with you. Don’t bother replying, I’ll see myself out as I take out this garbage from my game machine.
This thread but summarized
Tl;dr
Sorry but without paragraphs that is just noise.
r/technicallythetruth
Well…bye. Sorry you’re impatient and don’t think you’ve gotten your money’s worth over the course of four years of content,lol
In fairness, the heroes are only locked for a week, not the whole season.
You could always just wait one week. Not saying that’s the answer but the week Tracer is banned that’ll be the move for me
People have the most peculiar coping methods.
Gl Op.
Ok. Bye. Try not to let the door bruise the fruit.

I haven’t heard anyone say anything very positive about map pool, neither before or after its release. I would personally like to see that go. Cool experiment, but let’s pack it up now yeah?
TL;DR:
I have a limited pool of heroes I play and only like a couple maps and those got restricted. Wah.
You have to be fing kidding me. The amount of content Overwatch has now is literally how much the game should have been released with for it’s price point. As everyone complained about at release or do you already forget how bad the lack of content was?
You’re speaking but all I’m hearing is goo goo ga ga I want more toys.
sounds like OP got focused by a smurf tracer
Have to agree with you. People are just whining at this point even though we know more content is coming and will continue to come until Blizz announces there will be no more. The impatience with people over this 4 year old game is appalling really. Heck, most games don’t get any more additions to the game after even 1 year, OP needs to cool their jets.
lol you think this is any different for most games? Because its not.
Your misplaced sense of entitlement is truly astounding though. How much did you pay for this game again? Right, far less, for far more than you deserve clearly. And you still complain? Your opinion means less to the devs than their harshest critics who at least have valid points.
Oh well! Be sure to put the lid on the can as you throw yourself out!
Working on OW 2. We also don’t know the full story behind it. Maybe Activision is messing with them in some way or trying to just grab the money and run. Tons of things could be happening other than the devs just being lazy.
Support and tank mains who got tired of soloing a role. Flex players who got tired of playing solely support/tank every single game. DPS players who got tired of getting stuck below the high ranks, because GOATS synergy was powerful enough to make DPS irrelevant.
This one is a little strange, but it does make the seasons more distinct.
It’s weekly, and allows the devs to use balance patches to create new metas that aren’t OP enough to overthrow the old OP heroes.
Wait a week. I think it’s down to hours now, since the current bans have been up for almost a week.
It does. Being able to pick and play tanks other than two MTs is a useful skill, and can allow you to understand the other parts of your role better.
They’ve been focusing on the meta since most of the hard content production is going towards OW 2.
It’s for a week, and the idea is to combo with balance patches to give newly-buffed heroes a chance to show their worth.
For a week, only in Comp. All the other modes have no hero bans.
Again, we don’t know exactly what’s going on behind the scenes, but they’re working on OW 2 at the same time.
Hero bans in any other game would like a word.
generalization intensifies
Oh so because you’ve never heard of it, it must not be a thing! 
There are character bans in other games like Overwatch, MOBA’s, etc, and you should count yourself lucky in Overwatch, because in THOSE games? The bans are picked by the players, every single match. 
Does that sound like fun? Having to wait for ppl to vote and pick characters before you even play? Wait 10 minutes for a queue, and then wait longer for character ban votes, and THEN you find out you can’t play who you wanted… Jeff specifically didn’t want that in Overwatch because it felt like your enemies have too much control over you.
Soooo tired of all the whining and crying and stamping of little feet, you ain’t even know what REAL content drought feels like, fricken millennial.
In retrospect of Archives coming out literally two days after the Mardis Gras event ended, along with a balance patch, tell me, do you feel like a big ol’ baby? 
Don’t play ranked if you only play 1-2 heroes.
