Why isn't there hereo bans implemented into OW Comp?

I am tired of seeing the same heroes being ran every single game I play. It could possibly help with this cheese meta going on as well.

Makes no sense until we have more heroes I guess.

Not enough heroes in certain roles for bans.

I think each player in the game should get to vote for one hero to ban.

After the ban timer ends, each hero voted to be banned will be placed into a pool for each team.

Both teams’ ban selections will have 1 of the hero’s randomly picked to be officially banned for EACH team.

You would be able to discuss with your team which hero you all would like to see banned and try to garentee certain hero bans. Obviously there are still going to be those people who won’t work with you, but if you could get a few more teammates on board for the same ban, you would have a higher chance for that hero to be banned.

Not sure if both teams should be able to see each other’s possible bans or not but I would love to have some kind of ban system in play. Overwatch is a VERY broad game requiring different skill types. Having a ban system would help one tricks find other hero’s they are good at and everyone in general would have wider hero pools. Which is what the game seems to be disgned for. Unfortunately one tricking seems to be the best way to gain more sr for a win and less for a loss right now.
