Okay . Have fun with your 90 s tech . <| sep |> Idk but my ex hated both floral patterns and horses <| sep |> Yeah don ' t assume there ' s bans . It ' s just a pick round at the start of a match where you have time to discuss picks with your teammates before a match . So instead of just blindly picking a hero and hoping for the best , you can work with your teammates to pick heroes that can achieve a particular strategy . It ' s about player choice at the moment the pick mechanism makes balancing harder and forces the matchmaking system to be more intelligent and selective . Moving to a pickingdrafting stage to ingame gives choice back to the players , allows matchmaking to be much simpler and means the devs have the leeway to experiment with unusual heroes without having to consider their matchup with every other hero in the game . It ' s a win for everyone .
