Bigger hero roster (at least 2x bigger than it is now… yep, that sound like something that Blizz cant do)
Then Hero ban system
WAY WAY WAY more balance updates (we need it to unlock new metas)
New type of game modes which would unlock new strat. Right now it is only “Fight for the point” which favors mostly one type of comp. What if there would be gamemodes which favors only mobile heroes ? Or that ones with mele range etc. (just example). Like ya know, something that somehow forces new compositions.
During dive meta, sure dive was prob 50%+ of the matches but dive can be played by tanks-Winston,Hammond,Dva,Zarya
Support-zen,Lucio,Ana,mercy
Dps-tracer,widow,pharah,Genji (prob some more as well)
As well as that during dive meta wasn’t 100% dive many different strats could be played including anti dive, death ball, 3-3,slambulance etc
But in goats it’s usually the same 6 heroes with the change of maybe Moira for Ana/zen
Hero banning is a dumb idea. It’ll just create a new problem because youd be banning counters to other characters allowing for a ton of cheesy garbage.
If you want goats to not be meta, then goats needs a better counter. Just like Brigitte did to dive.
You pick your operators at the start of every round and in tournament games there’s a “6th Pick” where one person on each team can change their operator after the two teams have their picks revealed.
Dude… it is boring to watch. Thats all we need to know. I dont care how complicated it is to play this mess but I am sure that even dive was more interesting to watch than this… and I thought that was not possible.
I asked about a ban system yesterday, for the majority of players they’d make those decisions basically maliciously, not to make a more interesting game.
Similarly if you only have bans in Pro play, then you end up in a position where they’re playing too vastly different a game; or complaining it’s unfair that pros get to ban and they don’t.
diablo asked for that, see what happened.
wow asked for that, it’s worst than it’s ever been.
Hearthstone is also showing lower revenues than usual.
Overwatch is sliding down that same slope apparently.
it’s not looking too good that’s for sure.
they’d have to do a stellar job with less employees than they’re used to ; and we’ve seen them head towards questionable goals even with their full roaster.
idk, weird days really.
Hero banning in OWL would be fine. Keep it out of the normal quick play and comp though.
OWL and competitors is boring to watch because they run with what works and rarely vary. Which often means dive vs dive or goats vs goats. Allowing hero banning in OWL and competitors would make these people learn other heroes plus other compositions with a net gain of it being more enjoyable to watch.
THAT IS IF… if you live in the USA or Canada, because if you do not, youll have to stay up to 2AM just to see a SINGLE round lol.
