Week 9 • HERO POOL DRAW

The Week 8, Day 2 Watchpoint Postshow is now live and will be announcing Overwatch League’s week 9 Hero Pool Draw. REMEMBER! This only counts for Overwatch League. The Competitive Season 21 Hero Pool runs through its own schedule through Thursday.

Rules of the Hero Pool Draw:

  • All heroes with 10% playtime or more in the past two weeks of league play will be eligible for the draw.
  • NEW RULE! The number of tickets each hero will have will be based on their average play time. The higher the playtime, the more tickets they will have.
  • The heroes removed will return to play in the next week and will be immune from being removed in the next week’s draw.
    • Week 6-8’s banned heroes were Winston, Lucio, Solider, Sombra
  • 1 tank, 2 damage, and 1 support hero will be banned from play in Week 5 of Overwatch League.

As for my predictions, I am expecting Sigma, Mei, Tracer, and Ana to get the week off.

Somehow…they’ll pull a vote for Solider 76. Don’t know how, but they will find a way just to spite me. :sweat:

4

That is not technically possible, Solider was banned last week and therefore is guaranteed to return next week.

5

I know. But after the last Hero Pool Draw…I feel they may have it out for my boi.
Then again…Sideshow isn’t pulling. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

6

Brig definitely getting banned. She was played in every match.

7

Orisa, Brig, Mei, and Hanzo.

I’ll be surprised if it’s Mei and Mecree.

8

I vote Widow, Wrecking Ball, Mei and Zen.

9

Brig, Mei, McCree (again), and Sigma. My picks.

10

Does Mei even need to be banned? We saw from the first week of bans, without a Reinhardt, Mei all but disappears when Dive becomes dominant.
