Orisa will be disabled for 1 week of Competitive Play.

I think this will be pointless. If someone really has no intention of winning he will play like shit anyway. Doesn't matter if he plays first time Orisa or first time attack torb.

This will just delay everything by a week. Also balance discussions will be pointless because quickplay is pretty similar to ptr quickplay.

So in my opinion all they do is delay her real release by 1 week and we will wait another week until we know if she is good or not.

The main problem I see in general is that Overwatch has only 1 serious Queue. All those mobas etc. have something like unranked draft and those games are pretty serious too, at least everyone tries to win and doesn't stop playing and spam emotes only, also leaving gets punished. Overwatch quickplay is just filled with emote spammers, leavers and team comps without tanks and supports. So we have no way to test her at all. Unless you scrim in a pro team or you 6stack for quickplay.

And everyone that thinks this will do anything against first time lockers are just incredibly naive. They will just do it one week later.
