Overwatch Competitive Play Will Limit One Of Each Hero Per Team

Overwatch has a pretty decently-sized roster, but we’re sure that many players have their favorite heroes which means that in a match, there is a good chance you might come across some “duplicate” heroes. This has also led to some interesting (or some might call it cheating) strategies, like stacking Torbjorns.

However Blizzard has told GameSpot that they will be making further changes to Competitive Play that will limit one of each hero per team. This means that the opposing team can still play the same hero as you, but as far as your team is concerned, there will no longer be any duplicates allowed.

According to Blizzard, “The big thing for Competitive Play is we’re going to turn on one-hero limit, so players will not be able to stack more than one of the same hero within a Competitive match. It’s not going to affect Quick Play at all, but it is something we’re going to turn on for Competitive.” So for gamers who aren’t that interested in a more competitive version of Overwatch, we guess this shouldn’t really be a big deal.

But for gamers who do play Competitive Mode, we guess it’s time to start learning the skills and abilities of other heroes in the event that someone else on your team chooses the hero you want.
