Sigh....

Well, after about 30 matches of 1v1 joust I hit Gold V, and an impasse. There are too many gods that are broken in joust now. The bans are usually just Bakasura, Chronos, Mercury, and Kali, but with the recent buff of Xbalanque joust is becoming less and less fun.

Originally, those characters previously outlined were banned, meaning the joust actually took skill. However, You can't ban all 5 of those gods, meaning he who picks Xbalanque(or anyone else on that list), wins.

To put it in perspective, I recently played 2 matches against a Xbalanque, the person playing him wasn't that good. With this being said his CC immunity and ultimate make it incredibly hard to do anything against this god. For example, at one point in the match (I was playing Ullr) it was tied 2-2. But, his passive allowed him to be 20 physical power ahead of me at all times, meaning that even if we built the same (which we did) I could almost never out box him. That paired with bleeds from Poison Darts and a great escape in Rising Jaguar (+ CC immunity so I could never stun him) allowed the same guy to win, twice in a row (There goes my 70% win rate D:).

I guess I could ban Xbalanque instead of someone but no one really comes to mind.

Suggestions (and possibly a stuffed bear to criiii into)?
