Overwatch Hero Rotation: Hero Bans for May 11-18

The new Overwatch hero rotation is out for Week 15 and four new heroes are banned. Although these hero bans won't affect most players because of recent changes, they will only affect Masters, Grandmasters, and Overwatch League games.

Hero bans are still important to watch out for because they show some of the most picked heroes among high skill players.

Overwatch Hero Rotation: Hero Bans for May 11-18

Tank

• Orisa

Damage

• Tracer
• Mei

Support

• Moira

Everyone's favorite ban has been Mei since hero rotations began. This is not the first time she has been banned but she is one of the most picked characters so her frequent bans are no real surprise.

The bans for this week are a little all over the place so there is no one team composition that is no longer possible. The most obvious effects of these bans will be more Reinhardt, Sigma, and Genji picks. Reinhardt and Sigma will see more play thanks to the Orisa ban and many compositions requiring a shield. Genji will likely see more play simply because Mei is one of his best counters.
