And this ammo removal will only make having specialist even more likely.

I don't mind it, most of them are cheesy gimmicks anyway.

The only two interesting ones, Abathur and Medivh, are being picked already. Not only they change dynamics of a team fighting, but also macro decision making.

Everything else but a Nazeebo, who would be called an Assassin nowadays, is basically worth only as annoying attempt to cheese opponent. Yeah, it works in Hero League, but cheese strategies are always countered by smart drafts and coordination on competetive level.

I mean, why take Azmodan over Greymane? Greymane does similar poke damage, sieges as fast or even faster, can solo mercenary camps and brings way more into team fights? I know Azmodan can be a beast when he is stacked, but it takes way too long to matter.

When we include all matches, the top 5 of popularity looks like this:

ETC - 20 wins 19 loses 48 bans 87 total (out of 96 matches so 90,6%)

Greymane - 38 wins 37 loses 8 bans 83 total

Genji - 22 16 43 81

Lucio - 36 36 9 81

Tassadar - 12 8 56 76


8 heroes got picked exactly once (they also received no bans) - Samuro, Tychus, Zul'Jin (won), Alarak, Artanis, Lunara, Nazeebo, Hammer (lost)

That's actually pretty interesting. I didn't expect that big a number of chinese viewers in proportion to the rest.
