Hero Point System

In the semi-finals & finals lobbies of games for both solos and trios, a hero points system will be used. This is meant to promote variety in team compositions.

TRIOS: If a team exceeds 12 points, their score in the match that they exceed 12 points will be nullified.

SOLOS: If a player uses a hero more than 2 times across 6 games, their score in the match that they exceed this count will be nullified.
