Sirlin on Game Design, Ep6: Character Bans

In this episode, we discuss the many problems with games where players ban each other's characters. We touch on League of Legends, DOTA2, and Heroes of the Storm, though this discussion is applicable to any form of in-game banning in any game. An unusual guest talks about the worst clock in the world.

That whole segment about the clock was AMAZING! Unexpectedly entertaining and compelling! ;-)

Maybe if bans add more strategy and are good for esports they could bring bans to sports? I could only imagine peoples reactions if they don't get to see the best players play the game haha. Haven't finished the podcast yet so you'll have to excuse me if you used this point later in the podcast.
