I think it'd be cool if you selected 2 decks before starting a Ranked match, and once you find an opponent, you both take 30 seconds to Ban one of the Heroes the other has selected, then proceed playing with the two non-banned decks. That way, say if the meta is that everyone is using a certain deck you don't have the defenses for and say you're ready for one but not the other, you can ban it, but of course the opponent is doing the same and banning whatever she/he forsee's might be your strongest deck. Gives a wrinkle of strategy where normally, its luck of the draw on what hero you might face.
Anybody else think that might be a cool idea? I'm sure there's plenty of arguments against this, but I wondered what the community thought...
I actually like the idea, but isn't there a way to abuse this?
Like say I play 2 aggro decks and ban the one I can't beat with aggro?
or otherwise, play 2 greedy decks and ban the aggressive one I can't deal with
In the end I believe it would be worse as you can just ban the class you would have the worse match against and when that is not the case then it wouldn't really matter.

I thought about that, but ultimately, I think the idea that I had in mind was when it can help you, it gives you a chance to make a difference for your deck. If ultimately your opponent is set for two aggro heroes and ultimately, only one of your heroes would help in that case, then its kinda the same as it is now, you just pick which hero you'd be less weak against. I think the idea could be iterated over and made more fair, but I definitely see your point.

What happens if you choose 2 decks of the same class? (Eg, Zoolock and Handlock) Does your opponent get to see the decklists and then ban one of them? Or would you force people to have decks from 2 different classes?

I imagine you wouldn't be able to pick two decks of the same class, like tournament rules.

Right, i may have not been clear when i typed that originally, you pick two decks, two different heroes.
nah, thats bad idea. and it would be extremely annoying if you wanted to level a certain hero, or get golden portrait, and for half of the matches opponent would force you to play different class... i'd rather have option to ban a class on ladder , kinda like they do in tournaments.

So I was thinking:

I think it'd be pretty dope but we all know Blizz will never go for something like this. At most we get a similar concept in a Brawl.

You're looking for tournament play.
Not everybody has 2 decks to play for ranked.
S39 Legend - Quest Rogue, S38 Legend - Murloc Paladin, S37 Legend - Miracle Rogue, S36 Top 200 Legend - Aggro Shaman, S35 - Finished Rank 51 Legend - Aggro Shaman, S34 Legend - Aggro Shaman
YES! I'd never have to face a Warrior again!
Forgive me, friend. I have failed.
Or you can play a deck that doesn't get hard countered by something.
This idea will never happen.
S39 Legend - Quest Rogue, S38 Legend - Murloc Paladin, S37 Legend - Miracle Rogue, S36 Top 200 Legend - Aggro Shaman, S35 - Finished Rank 51 Legend - Aggro Shaman, S34 Legend - Aggro Shaman
It would be cool if Legend Rank+ had this format. It'd kinda invalidate grinding if it was used at lower ranks.
