This week, the Overwatch League says goodbye to Sombra, Reaper, D.Va and Ana.

Overwatch League: Hero Pool with Sombra, Reaper, D.Va and Ana bans

It's Hero Pool time in Overwatch! For a greater diversity of composition, Overwatch League Season 3 has also adopted this system — which started during the fifth week.

To be banned, several conditions must be taken into account.

  • The hero must have an in-game attendance rate of at least 10% over the previous two weeks.
  • A hero can't be banned for two weeks in a row.

Once the list is ready, the heroes will be chosen randomly from this list. Each week, one Tankone Support and two DPS will be selected. The Hero Pool will be announced on Sunday, during Watchpoint, before the start of the matches.

Starting this week, the Hero Pool evolves and the number of possible tickets per hero now depends on the percentage of use.

  • 10-25% = 1 Ticket
  • 25-50% = 2 Tickets
  • 50-75% = 3 Tickets
  • 75%+ = 4 Tickets

Tanks

Three tanks could be banned:

  • Reinhardt (69.5%)
  • D.Va (57.9%)
  • Orisa (23%)
  • Zarya (19.2%)
  • Sigma (17.6%)

D.Va was chosen this time!

Overwatch

Supports

As for the tanks, five supports could be selected:

  • Lucio (63.3%)
  • Moira (53.8%)
  • Ana (28.3%)
  • Zenyatta (16.6%)
  • Baptiste (12.4%)

Chance has chosen Ana, removing her from the Hero Pool.

DPS

A little more choice on the DPS side with six heroes on the list:

  • Reaper (53.2%)
  • Sombra (23.2%)
  • Tracer (19.8%)
  • Torbjorn (18.1%)
  • Doomfist (17.3%)
  • Hanzo (10.9%)

Out of these four possibilities, Sombra and Reaper were drawn.

Mei, McCree, Bouldozer and Brigitte are back this week and will be able to be picked again!

WARNING: This ban only applies to the Overwatch League, and unless there is a huge coincidence, it won't be the same on the live servers at the beginning of Season 21.

To see the impact of these changes, see you on Saturday April 4 for the rest of the competition.
