So, to start with, I’m not really on board with hero bans. Just want to get that out there. I’m mostly curious what people think now since I’ve heard it getting brought up again recently, saying how we have nearly enough heroes to consider it again, etc.
As I said, I’m not really on board with it. I think it messes with casual play and the ranked experience would just suck, particularly for those of us with open profiles where people can see our most played heroes and ban us from playing those.
The ONLY way I think bans could work, would be making a tournament theme. A very specific play mode that allows/is based on banning heroes, keeping it separate from regular play modes. Like how ranked Mystery Heroes comes and goes but isn’t a permanent thing. Then if you want to take the risk, go ahead, but leave regular play out of it!
Thoughts?
The dev team talked about it once, ofcourse many people including Jeff arent here anymore but it was said once that they would think about it if they reached like 80 heroes.
I think thats fair because if the game really gets another 40 heroes they will start to overlap in abilities. At that point it might make sense to introduce a ban system.
