Bans should start in gold.

Hear me out, it would make the comp better in the long run.

At the moment people can pretty much get to diamond by one tricking heroes that will be banned 75% of matches. This leads to a bunch of players playing heroes they don't know, or can't play well at higher ranks.

Bans should start earlier in comp to make the game better later in comp.

[Quasiendo]

it will eventually. we just have to wait and see.

->Remove Celestial Rank
->Make ranking up harder (promos every 3 rankups)
->Add Bronze pin for GM players, give Eternity Silver and One Above All Gold
->Add bans to gold or atleast plat
->Rework entire ban system (one ban at a time)

[Arthur Morrigan]

Or just get rid of the concept of banning characters.

Since the ranks don't matter or have any meaning, why?

I'm not a fan of bans. I wish they would remove bans from game entirely.

Not a fan either but I think it makes the game better. In a way the players can balance the matches they are in by "erasing" a hero the can't deal with.

[Plagues]

It 100% makes the game better.

[Shoryukenfan]

It's the worst idea and would make the game 100% worse.

[Plagues]

bans are the only thing that makes the game playable at higher rank, The games balance is pretty bad...and thats kind of a good thing, lots of strong heroes, and bans is the best way to fix that problem.

Bans should be available at all ranks in comp. It's part of the game, really, and also, it's one of the best protections against truly OP heroes. The dev team will eventually ♥♥♥♥ up and make a truly OP hero that ruins games and lower ranks should be protected too.

[Pachislot Rockman Ability]

tbh i think bans should be at all ranks

yes lower ranks won't use bans correctly but they also will use characters without understanding them (as long as it's a DPS)

Luna Snow is really good, and does get banned a lot, but there isn't a character right now who is a really huge problem like we saw in Overwatch several times.

Look how quickly the patch can change Heroes like Wolverine and storm.
