[2019] Pick and ban is an awful idea

Hey Iridius, I certainly appreciate you sharing your thoughts! What sort of changes would you suggest to improve the ranked experience? A more streamlined pick and ban system? Removing it completely, or replacing it with some other system?

Originally posted by Iridius: -The same ops get banned every round so I can't play some of my favourite operators EVER now (Echo, Caveira, Jackal, Clash).
-It wastes a whole minute in the beginning of every round
-It adds no strategic depth for the vast majority of players

Along with the fact that they don't add new weapons and a lot of operators get changed in worse ways (Ying used to be my main until they trashed her, Montagne and Blitz too), I just think this game lost its charm it used to have.

ALL OF THIS AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T CHANGED TACHANKA

TL;DR: pick and ban is worthless

Hey!

Yeah we're definitely aware players are banning the same operators each and every time. As someone who loves Jackal, I know how frustrating can be to see the same thing happen over and over. Our team is currently investigating why that is. When we have more to share, we'll be sure to relay what we have with everyone!
