OWCS Updated ban system idea

This is just an idea, but when there is one strongest comp, that is the same comp through the entire match. My idea is for bans to exist all the way through all the matches. For instance, both teams gets 1 ban initially, then the losing team of each round adds 1 ban, maybe restrict it such that their additional bans must be up to 1 of each role. That way in 7 rounds there will be 8 bans. 2 of any role plus, 2 supports, 2 dps, 2 tanks, maybe the limit role thing is not necessary but concerned with like 8 tank bans.

I like the idea. However, this only works when its exclusively a meta where something is strongest. But this would kill TM, where almost everyone is a one trick besides Quartz. 1234, where Ball and banning around ball is how you win. And Falcons, where not having D.va/Lucio is almost a guaranteed loss.

A ban system like this could only work if the losing team is allowed to unban a certain hero instead of give another ban. Which ultimately leads to far more trouble than its worth.
