The other modes and all operators are available through the Casual playlist. I assume you would like a system with the rules of Casual but a ranking system. I appreciate the suggestion!
The suggestion is recommended. Think about it. Imagine if I played Overwatch but certain characters were banned. It doesn't even make sense to do that. You made those characters. Balance them. Don't ban them. They're part of your game, that people actually paid money to be able to play. It's not fair to remove them because of what pros think is okay. Pick and Ban. Actual paid for characters.
No. Balance them and remove this awful system.
Overwatch is a completely different game though compared to Siege. It's kinda like comparing apples to oranges. Pick and ban does not really fit into the style of Overwatch.
The Pick and Ban system help determine what operators we may need to revisit and rebalance though. While we don't rely on the system for all of our balancing input, it is a strong tool. For example, Jackal has been getting a higher banrate as of recent, and we are taking note of this.
This also isn't related to just "what the pros think is okay". Feedback is considered from all members of the community, from casual console players to pro players. Everyone's input is valid to us as long as there is constructive feedback behind it.
