The enemy team can ban you from playing characters they don't like

go play offline with bots if you only care about looking at one character's arse

There's like at least 20 champions in every role that can do the same job.
Among them there's like several that are very similar and only the numbers or a current patch determines which are viable in competitive play.
Amumu, Malphite, Zac(manaless Amumu+Malphite hybrid with a built in GA), Orn, Galio, etc.
You ban the broken one among them or pick it.

Even if you literally only play 1 hero in dota despite counters being much stronger than in lol you will get them at least 50% of the time because bans aren't guaranteed.

>No one bans my girl
Feels good

If your game has to ban characters to maintain balance it's a shit game

if you believe the ban mechanics exists for balance then you are retarded

this unironically

>People sometimes actually banned her
I had to remove her from my profile to stop it
Feels bad man

>LoL is the most popular game on PC

>TfT is popular, alive and receives plenty of updates
>Underlords is dead
Is there a single more incompetent company than Valve? They don't even have support for Dota but redirects you do create Reddit threads instead.

It helps mitigate broken metas, why are you somehow assuming this as a bad thing? More games could have shit like this

Only children and retards play mobas.

Then why do they exist?

Only retards and people who suck at videogames have never played them. If you're good at something you will enjoy it, if you're bad, you will talk trash about it.

So we all know you suck

It adds another layer of strategy because you can disrupt the enemy team's setup in a way they can't predict
i've never played a moba in my life and even i can see this you fucking mong

valve is now a store developer, they can't make games anymore

>It adds another layer of strategy because you can disrupt the enemy team's setup
So it's for balance reasons, got it.

They know they can't balance 140 characters so they let the community balance it for them. The noobs ban the cheese picks and the pro-ban the actually good champs. If they don't have this shit will be like overwatch where people the same shit cause they can't counter it

>Be a shitter who has to one trick a cancer champ to eek out plat every season
>They ban that champ
>You come and make this thread

that's what happened isn't it? be honest.

I've never played a moba in my life, I heard someone talk about Dota 2 on a podcast and I retched with disgust.

See you in 3 days, underage mobashitter

Nah, not unless the meta favors only one build which I assume it doesn't. Cope

then stop picking overpowered shit

why have a shitload of characters when you have to resort to banning them in order to balance the game?

Bans in MOBAs are good and no amount of you seething will change that. You probably don't even fucking play and are just stirring shit. Kiss my cock.

>game rewards depth and strategy for every hero making the entire hero pool available at all times for every one.

banning is necessary when heroes become broken in ranked picks which happens in games with evolving metas

>The enemy team can ban you from playing characters that are and will be completely broken for several more months because the dev team is utterly retarded and the pro scene would cry if completely busted AIDS shit gets patched in the middle of tournament season
The only thing wrong with hero bans in dota is that you don't get more of them

It's literally just so they can justify releasing broken ass characters
