I'm personally not entirely convinced that Baton Pass needs to be banned completely, but that idea seems to have more political support than trying to push Baton Pass Speed Clause, and honestly I think the "limit 1 per team" part is unnecessarily complex, anyway.
So, this has been brought up before, but that thread went unresolved and it led to a grand total of four different Baton Pass bans in different tiers (if you count whatever Gen 7 OU is pulling, which I don't even know).
The main reason why bans should be consistent is because our tier system revolves around bans being consistent. If, hypothetically, Masquerain is UU with a QuiverPass set, and you ban that set, it should not fall to RU and then be able to use its QuiverPass set in RU, because its QuiverPass set is clearly BL.
In other words: If we are banning Pokémon and letting them move around tiers based on usage, they should have the same sets available in every tier.
Anyway, this poll is once again non-binding, but I'm hoping to get enough consensus to get some sort of ball rolling.
