so you want too to ban all snipers? B)

no, ban 4 characters for a ranked match based on map and character strength.

maybe character limit would be very good

I think there are not many mercs to ban 4 in a ranked game but I’ll consider to ban 1 per team.

There are merc bans in competitive (not the ingame ranked, I mean actual comp like cups).
Each team bans 1 merc and usually Thunder is banned by default too.

I don’t really see it working out in ranked because lack of players, but I will be happy to see a 1 merc limit when there are enough players

They can’t implement merc bans or limits in ranked because not all players have access to all mercs. Requiring all mercs to enter ranked would reduce that playerbase even further probably making ranked less desirable/playable overall. Better option might be to unlock default loadouts for all mercs in ranked play so bans and limits can be implemented.

This could attract more players to ranked but might be bad if they only play ranked to try out mercs. Tough problem to solve.
