Idea for new game mode: New Meta
Top 5 heroes by pick rate are banned
Top 5 heroes by winrate are banned.
If they overlap as in ODs winrates high and so is his popularity he counts as a winrate hero and the algorithm changes to the 6th most popular and so on until the ten heroes are banned.
The game otherwise plays like All pick (ranked pick version in ranked unranked in unranked)
For example this week: Invoker, Pudge, Legion Commander, Juggernaut, and Phantom Assassin would be banned for having a high pick rate.
Omniknight, Spectre, Necrophos, Abaddon, and Ursa would be banned for having a high winrate.
This mode would not replace all pick but would let us get away from the meta. Though it would instantly have its own meta of course it would at least be a major change.
EDIT: Ban pick, pick Ban and All ban. Whatever the game modes name where everyone gets one ban would be nice but Valve has ignored us on that.
EDIT2: Idk why so many people think that all pick would suddenly go away if they added this mode but no it is not intended to replace all pick.
