However, Blizzard is reportedly changing the rules hoping to make the competition a little bit different.
According to GameSpot, the "Overwatch" mode will receive the so-called one-hero limit anytime soon. From here, as the name suggests, teams can only utilize one single type of hero in every match. If a member is already using, say Bastion, the rest of the players are not allowed to pick the same character.
