BASH Ball is similar to football in that it starts in the middle of the field and the objective is to get the "ball" to the opponent's end of the field to score a point. Here is the field:
It is divided into 5 Zones. The Zones at the ends are Scoring Zones.
At the start of the game each team is at their own end of the field, and in the middle by the star the ball spawns - at this point the ball is an object like one of Medusa's pink floaty psi balls in TA. The first player to run up and touch the ball causes it to disappear, and that player now has the Ball! buff.
At this point the objective becomes for that player to survive for a certain amount of time ( something around 10-20 seconds ) in the current Zone, in order to unlock the next Zone towards the other team's goal. Once they do that, the next zone lights up, and they have 5 seconds to get to it before the current zone gets locked. The process is then repeated in the new zone, until the Scoring Zone is unlocked. Surviving long enough with the Ball in the Scoring Zone gives your team one point - then the field is reset, and you do the whole thing again.
If at any point the player with the Ball leaves the current active zone for longer than 1 second, they lose the Ball! buff, and the ball reappears in the middle of the currently active zone for everyone to scramble towards.
If you defeat the player currently holding the Ball, then you get control of the Ball. The survival timer resets and you start unlocking the opposite Zone. This is equivalent to stealing the ball in basketball basically.
In order to keep the ball from constantly going to the same player, when you lose the Ball! buff, you also get the ButterFingers! debuff for a certain period of time, which prevents you from getting the ball. If a player with the ButterFingers! debuff defeats the player currently holding the ball, then it instead goes to the nearest friendly player without the debuff. If everyone on your team has the debuff when one of you attempts to gain control of the ball, it instead appears in the middle of the current zone.
Once one team has X points, they win and the game is over! There is also a 10 minute timer. If it runs out, then the team with the most points wins; if no team has any points, then it's a draw and nobody wins.

what was that last one? owo
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Well I haven't been to hero games lately so I don't know how popular tanks are atm. I imagine the same outcome occurs if everyone brings a tank to the team deathmatch hero game.

Maybe, instead of picking up the ball you become the ball. Then, as the ball, you run around and do various bounce-based moves. The enemy team tries to pop you and your team heals you and tries to KO or CC enemies to keep you safe. That would get rid of the "supertank ball" issue.
