As the title suggests, would you like the ability to "ban" one class in Ranked Mode? By this, I mean you get to choose 1 out of the 10 classes to restrict games against in ranked. Let's say, for example, I'm sick of seeing all these Mages in Ranked, so while I have that box checked off, I will not get matched against Mages.
I haven't put too much thought into this in terms of how it could be abused or unfair, which is why I'm making a thread about it. Would this work? Is this something other players would like to see?
I think that would make things much harder to balance. There have been a lot of decks in the past that only have one really good counter, and that counter keeps them in check. This would allow you to just ban that counter, which means blizzard would have to make sure every deck has multiple counters, which is something that should already be doing and haven't done a great job at as it is.
While I do understand why this would be a thing, there are too many impacts on that to make it viable.
If the deck you are playing does not do well against a particular deck currently in the meta, you just ban the hero that plays that deck and, because of that, you rank rise since you are not losing that much anymore.
At the current moment, demon hunters are (and lets not get into the reasons of why is that) doing better. It's fair that they go higher in the ladder.
If we all ban demon hunters then suddenly everyone who is playing demon hunter will be almost exclusively being matched with another demon hunters. Their win rate will fall and, even though they are doing better than other decks, they will be placed lower on the ladder because they will basically have 50% chances of winning those matchups.
No, I want a casual mode where you can ban classes, and more than just one. I have not touched casual in at least a year, that mode is totally useless.

With that, I totally agree. That being you would be able to test you decks and different matchups. Cool.
As much as I hate a certain deck or class, this would be really imbalanced. If I play a really strong deck/class that gets countered by a class and I have the ability to ban it then that just makes having deck strengths and weaknesses irrelevant.

I would prefer not playing vs my class option, i dont like mirrors.
So we all ban Demon Hunter? Great expansion Blizz. You made a class that plays like a boss from the adventure.

No. I want actually balanced classes.
Decks are supposed to have strengths and weaknesses. If you remove the weaknesses, you've also removed a major portion of deckbuilding.

I don't like banning a class. I do like the idea of banning cards (3 at most)
Play an OP deck or an OP class however if I take away let's say 3 cards from that class you have to either adapt to it or play a new deck.
I think this would bring more variety to the game.
