I'm not agreeing that it should be removed altogether. It's still a skill check. If your opponent has terrible reaction time/aim you can deny majority of the souls. But if you're evenly matched then you switch to pressuring.
The deny mechanic is still nice for when you're able to steal souls...
Removing the deny mechanic would be crazy lol
Also, once you get to a certain skill level, it becomes mostly pointless to try and deny since the enemy will always secure before you, due to the owner advantage, so you're just wasting ammo trying. You're better off putting pressure on them...
You can easily get haze every match if you only select 3 heroes. Purple haze, then two other popular heroes on white (I usually do Warden and seven). I've been able to get haze 50 games in a row by doing this

Game completely froze could not press any buttons. Couldn't even pull up task manager to force quit since the task manager window was behind the deadlock screen and there was no way to alt tab past it. Had to log out of windows and log back in
Noticed this as well. I've also seen it sell the item I selected to be sold before I even get to a shop (which is bad if I'm not heading to a shop soon, since I lose out on the effects of that item for any future fights)
