Overwatch Hero Pools Removed From Competitive Play, Heavily Changed For Overwatch League



Sometimes it do be like that. In a Blizzard forum post made today the publisher announced that the much-maligned and changed Hero Pools rule?which allows players to only pick certain characters while others get temporarily ?banned??for Competitive Play mode is gone until further notice. Meanwhile over in The Overwatch League, hero pools will stick around but go through some changes which include a massive reduction in how often said pools rotate the available Heroes. Hero Pools were introduced to the game as a way to encourage play variety while also curbing some of the game?s harsher, most powerful meta compositions. While primarily used as a way to freshen up The Overwatch League and keep matches from being the same Mei/Reaper/Reinhardt composition every week, the Hero Pools were added to casual play in order to lessen the peer pressure-like demands of adhering to the meta while in Competitive mode.
