Soo… Hero BANS, When?
As long as the OW team refuses to release different games rules for casuals and pro players / top 500 streamers, I don’t think Hero bans will ever come back.
The community has too many one-tricks and some role categories don’t have enough heroes in their roster for this to be possible and balanced. I mean, it’s not fair for DPS players to have 5-6 heroes banned while tanks and supports will only get 1 or 2 at the same time.
Since half of the heroes are barely going to be played in Competitive next month, see it as an auto hero bans system that is being created on its own until the OW team buffs / nerfs certain heroes, then another meta will see the light of day (which can stand for another wave of hero bans to other characters, and it’ll go on and on :p).
