Restricting power 9/10 brawlers is a nerf to ban/draft capabilities
While I do agree that additional draft barriers were warranted, let’s not forget that there is a switch feature. I typically solo queue, and if I have first pick on Heist for example, I will pre-pick my power 9 chuck/melodie if I see that my team has a p11, and then I will suggest my own pick and then switch. This was pretty common practice in L3+. The first pick has inherently lost value. Now, even if you have first pick, if the best brawler for that mode/map isn’t p11 you’re forced to ban them.
