I’m not against trying it, but I don’t think they should’ve added it to a live competitive season. I have ZERO desire to want to lose rating/SR testing Jeff’s newest idea. Someone asked him about putting it in the “experimental” mode, but he said that wouldn’t be ready until end of Feb. Why not postpone it? Oh, because they want to use it in OWL. But why not just let the pros try it out? I just don’t understand this decision to push it live and force it on everyone. And I don’t understand why Jeff said in the SAME dev update that they wanted to do more frequent balance changes and yet are going to also do this hero pool that changes the meta. How can you balance for that? You can’t. I would’ve been fine if Jeff decided to test out hero pool in QP or a separate Arcade mode for a few weeks. I am however against adding it right away to a live comp season.
Edit: Now that I think about it, Jeff said Season 21 was starting in March. But he said here that they couldn’t do it with the Experimental Card because it won’t be ready until Feb. WTF Jeff.
