At the conclusion of the Watchpoint: Hero Pool Draw immediately following Week 9’s matches, the four heroes that will be banned or disabled in Week 10 of the OWL were announced. There were a few new aspects to the way these heroes were picked for the second week in a row. This time, Wolf and Achilios revealed the bans. Wolf had all of them in his hand and he shuffled through each major role while Achilios would tell him to stop without being able to see anything. The cards were written in Korean as well giving non-Korean speakers an extra bit of suspense until Wolf actually announced the ban. The bans did stay at two DPS, one Tank and one Support, as well as the new percentages, played for what would be banned.
The percentages are listed below.
- 10-25% Play Rate = 1 Ticket
- 25-50% Play Rate = 2 Tickets
- 50-75% Play Rate = 3 Tickets
- 75%+ Play Rate = 4 Tickets
