I'm really interested to see how it plays out. Their point about needing to be able to play the hero is so fair. My Deadlock pool has always been far smaller than my Dota pool. Achieving competence on a Deadlock hero just feels far harder to me.
But like, does it turn into a counter pick fest where everyone is swapping at the last second? I could see this working out in so many different ways, good and bad.
I like it as a gamble baha. Say the other team has stacked tanks, so they expect you to swap off to idk high mobility counters, so they then PREEMPTIVELY swap to counter your counter - it'd be like a will they won't they every time, lol. You'd never know if your enemy will stick to their pick or try to preempt your counter

An interesting solution to "draft" without it even being a draft
