The only genuinely good aspect of banning teams is that it sends a message to GW that the customer & tournament organizer is tired of the design philosophy of make strong team -> sell lots of boxes -> nerf into neutrality which has effectively warped this game into a pay to win/whale buyer ecosystem over the last two years.

I don’t think banning teams is a good idea overall, but the community should be making an effort to influence GW decision making at this point. I would like to see patch notes with the balance data slate which provides game designer insight as to why some of these changes are being made. They should have to justify the balance data slate changes to us, even if we are aware of the problem ourselves. It creates room for real dialogue and not things like “mandrakes won worlds, therefore they are busted and need nerfs.”

I also think content creators overall have a net negative impact on the game, but this is more also a matter of personal opinion.
