I was thinking about that aspect and that's why I see it as 3 bans first then the teams pick 3 agents, then the 3 bans happen again so that both teams can select the remaining two. It gives an aspect of strategy on what the team needs and how flexible each team can get.
- Let's say the teams were ( SR Gamechangers vs. Oxygen Esports ) and its ascent. We see the meta constantly and maybe each team can prioritize what they want. So, pretend SR was the one who chose the map, then the agent selection could be like
First Ban ( Oxygen: Omen, KJ ) ( SR: Sage )
Then both teams will pick three agents from the remaining pool
Second Ban ( SR: KayO, Fade ) ( Oxygen: Raze )
Then both teams will pick the remaining two agents for their team comp.
All I'm saying is that there is enough variety of agents that there wouldn't be a scenario in which all of a class will be banned based on priority on what they need.
