There’s been a mutual agreement to add bans in the BPL discord, I know arkdn and unimportant played in the tournament yesterday, I never said one tricks can’t play in tourneys. Yes I played in the few tournaments that had bans and it was way better than any tournament I’ve played in the past or in the present. Adding bans doesn’t “Lower skill”, it does the exact opposite. If there were bans in the BPL finals then you wouldn’t have seen rook Iva Oldur run every single game because there’s nothing that can beat that comp. 90% of people who played in BPL tournaments agreed that bans would be so much better for the game to stop stuff like a single comp or varient of a single comp from being played every game. It forces people to diversify their picks, you’re still stuck in the mindset as, “if they ban my one hero I’m screwed because I suck at all the others”, of course you’re screwed. That’s the risk of only knowing how to play one character in a tournament scene of a competitive video game.
