Like so many people have already explained and there are still stubborn people refuse to understand . Picking nonmeta hero is not the problem , doing bad with them and refuse to switch is the problem . And since 90 % of players who picking unreliable hero Hanzo , Widow , . in comp never switch until too late , the hate is mostly justified . You can play nonmeta hero however you want in QP , but in Comp , you must talk to your team about your picks , and show that you are willing to change if thing not working out . But most of the time the Widow main and Hanzo main just mute all and play their way for the entire time , which is the behavior that should be banned from Comp . <| sep |> Good . Because I ' m sure there would be loads of unhappy people with that stunt .
