i too went for reqs today and my numbers are great for /r/oddlysatisfying
Not sure where I am personally on ban/no ban yet, but i do know that i only vote ban if i am 100% sure when the time comes. since we want to suspect ray and not a specific set, i wanted to try megaray with a different set than usual just to see how it performs; so i tried mg ray and found it decently effective nothing extraordinary. Looking back i shouldve probably just used hjk on it over volt tackle as i needed to hit normals + ff steels much more than i ended up needing to hit celesteela and my other coverage was sufficient for waters/flyers.

here is the team i used (keep in mind, it is probably lazily made and includes possibly one of the worst sets ive ever tried in the m2y which was designed purely for ladder sets lol)
