1 Hero per team limit in Competitive play

[Eapoe]

I feellike its a good change, but can lead to just as much QQ. Got tanks owning your team and a horrible Reaper that locked the character? Better hope you can position Bastion well. Maybe a Pharah? Yeah, sure, if their S76 standing behind the tanks is terrible. Very tiny, non in depth way of stating, that countering will be that much harder now. The only real alternative is to play with friends or pray you get people that will trade roles/heroes with you.

I'm guessing it's because five Bastions and a Mercy pose something of a headache for players new to ranked play, especially on payload maps.

Or 5 Winstons with a Lucio...

Get 3-4 reapers and the Winstons fall over

You mean 2 Bastions, 2 Reinhardt, Mercy and Lúcio? It's just to put the breaks on and get your shit together, it won't last a full match.

Sweet.

Now the last thing you have to do, Blizzard, is to disable switching heroes during the round, and you're golden.

the entire game revolves around character switching.
that would wreck the game.

IS this higher up? I am only like 47 atm and have never seen this. Granted I have not played a lot of ranked matches.

Out of roughly 200 games, this is one comp I haven't seen yet. Not saying they don't exist.

Hm. Maybe it's just my bad luck but that's what I was running into all of last weekend.

[Soulwind]

Today: Enemy Bastion/Torb/whatever killing people, Pharah on our team somehow not hitting any of them, I swap to Pharah as well to deal with it.

Tomorrow: Enemy Bastion/Torb/whatever killing people, Pharah on our team somehow not hitting any of them, well Pharah already taken I guess. Oh well.

There's always Junkrat!

Yeah, not trying to convey it doesn't happen. I've seen some screwed up comps.

I like it. I hate when I see two of the same characters. I also hate when I choose a character and then someone else does after they already saw that I 'm using that character and then sometimes a third person joins in forcing me to switch to have a better comp. I really like the change makes comps a lot better

Well, it can make comps better, not necessarily will. 2-3 tanks on opposite team on a push, 2 Reapers would be very helpful...but, not anymore. Now you have to hope your current Reaper is amazing, or switch over to a Bastion for shield melting and probably just die to their Pharah or Soldier they are using. Bastion not your thing? Okay, what's another great counter to 3 tanks rushing in to a cap point? Ummm, Pharah maybe? Sure, if they are a good player and can avoid the DVa charge or Roadhog hook, let alone a 76 pinning them down.
I'm not saying this will happen, but people complain about cancer comps (2 Winston/2 tracer/2 support) and don't realize that you can have cancer comps with just 1 hero select enabled. Will just take the implementation, and time, to tell.
I have had some comp games where the team runs Rein, Zarya, Roadhog, and we HAD to go double Reaper to stop them. There are other ways we could have done it I'm sure, but for our skill cap this was the best option for us, and it worked.
