ive been of the opinion that loch should be banned since it started gaining traction in mid-late 2023. u can have super baity positioning in team fights and still do so much. some amount of risk has to be taken to deal a lot of damage (i use this argument for banning the ball as well) but the loch eliminates thats risk. part of what makes demo difficult is proper positioning to deal damage without catching yourself or baiting.
springrollsMore on topic - I have no idea what's up with RGL 6's specifically but not only are they historically much more conservative with regard to even asking about questions regarding banning unlocks compared to HL (not unbanning though!), they are even more reticent with either conducting or releasing survey results at all (or both).
to comment on this, its widely known that rgl holds a meeting between each season involving invite players to discuss a variety topics ranging from upcoming events, map pools, and weapon bans. if i had to guess rgl is substituting polls with these meetings. an issue with this is that not every invite player attends these meetings (me xd), resulting in maybe like 8-10 total opinions in the discussion of weapon bans and once the discussion sways towards a weapon being banned b4nny points at the rgl mission statement that was written 3 owners ago.
back on topic... i truly believe rgl should just straight up ban loch without having to send out a poll or bring it up in the invite meeting, too much rioting has occurred.
