What is blizzard waiting for to add the ban system to ranked games?
Just like in League of Legends or Rainbow 6, it would be so good for the game in many ways.
With bans you can get free feedback on what is broken and what is not just by looking at the heroes ban rate.
People will cry less about “op” chars since you can just ban it.
It would add more variety to the game and also will make meta comps less important.
Since Overwatch doesn’t have many characters, the way to do should be like in Rainbow 6, all team members can vote for the hero they want to ban and the one with most votes gets banned, also it should be a 1-2-1 (1 tank - 2 dps - 1 healer) each team.
It would make the game more enjoyable in my opinion.
There is also no simple way for it to function. Remember, the worst thing about overwatch is us. We can’t be trusted to reset and group up before engaging… You think we can be trusted to effectively use a ban system…
People don’t even use pings and that’s the best thing they’ve added in years.
Yeah, that’s why i said it should be team bans with votes. (1-2-1)
There are still many heroes to play even with bans.
That doesn’t make sense, Overwatch players also play other games with actually a ban system, just myself I play League and I used to play Rainbow 6, and it’s not a matter of trust either, people would just vote for what they think is broken/annoying.
Why? to me is the best thing blizzard could add to the game, especially in higher ranks will add more variety.
I told him I’m in Qatar working, he still plays his game pretending he’s the ruler of this place, spreading his obsessive lies and toxicity.
As for the thread, it is something the game will need in the future. But for now, there aren’t enough options in all roles to be able to work round it. And the players can’t be trusted to use such a system correctly with discussions.
I actually think it’s a feature that the game needs since OW1, even with the poor amount of heroes it should be fine. If each team bans 1 tank, 2 dps and 1 support, there are still 8 tanks (9 with Rammatra), 13 dps and 6 supports left, and so there’s still so many possibilities and comps you can make.
This feature would bring fresh air and so much variety each game since it’s a legit meta killer.
Again, I don’t think that’s an issue, in lower elos ppl will just vote for what they hate and in higher elos they will vote for what is op or good for the comp they are trying to make, just like in every game with this system.
For example, in Rainbow 6 in that case is random between the 5 votes.
Here’s how I imagined this system in OW:
I can think about 2 ways to do here, 1: everyone in the team can vote regardless of the role 2: only ppl from each role can vote.
Anyway, the game starts.
We have Team Potato and Team Tomato.
Randomly 1 team gets to ban first starting with tanks and ending with supports (this could also be random).
So Team Potato bans 1 tank, then Team Tomato bans 1 tank and 1 dps, Team Potato bans 2 dps, Team Tomato bans 1 dps and 1 support, Team Potato bans 2 supports and finally Team Tomato bans 1 support.
I think it is needed in Ranked games and I would also like a Non-Ranked Quick Play (like “Draft” in League) with the same system like in R6 or League.
As I said, either the whole team or just ppl from each role would vote for what they want to ban, the most voted it’s banned.
With the system of 1tank-2dps-1supp bans for each team we still have 9 tanks, 13 dps and 6 supports left, I think you have enough there tbh.
Just because Valorant doesn’t need this system doesn’t mean OW doesn’t!! + you cannot compare OW with Valorant, the characters in Valorant are not that important since everyone gets the same weapons in the end and in OW 1 hero can change the game completely.
No, I didn’t, I just said R6 ban system would be the best option for OW + even R6 is even more similar to OW than Valorant cuz each char has not only unique abilities but also unique weapons, so the ban system makes more sense there.
Also I’m just pointing out that the ban system would make the game so much better since the biggest problem in ow is the stacked meta and the poor variety.
You keep saying ban system won’t work in ow but you don’t explain why, and “not enough heroes” is not a reason, I already showed you why.
The lack of variety is enough of a reason to add it.
