There are lots of people here that allready explained it,but if you ask i try to do it again. So read carefully.
The banning rule is a bad idea for two main reasons. First it seriously diminishes the number of setups that can be used,there will be only a few viable setups left. This takes out tactics as well as variety. Why will it reduce the number of viable setups? Well, it basicaly means you cant fit any setups in wich a ship has an importend role. The chances of it being banned are to high,even if you try to conceal what it is, there is just no way to know what the enemy FC thinks and what he might eliminate. The risk of losing because of this is too big. So,logistics,command ships,marauders, t3 ships,all those wont be used.
But this is not all, the banning rule also gives and advantage to 10 ship teams over teams that field less ships. Why? Simpel, if you bring 10 times the same ship, one being banned wont make a big difference. If you however chose to bring a setup that instead uses 5 bigger ships it makes a way bigger difference if you lose one.
Now there is one kind of setup that can deal with the banning the best,and this is a setup that uses as mutch ships of the same type as possible. For example 10 thorax cruisers. You cant do too mutch damage with banning to a 10 rax setup. Wich means,if you bring such a setup and your enemy shows up with something more sophisticated you can be sure that you can do more damage to him with banning than he can do to you. This is why you will see almost exclusively 10 man all same shiptype setups.
Now,that was the first reason. The second one is less importend,and was also allready mentioned. Some people train for weeks for this tournament, and might even take a day of to be part of it. And you want to ban em?
So,this "why" enough? |
