My alliance cannot find the ban attackers button in AW. The ban button is nowhere to be found in the placement screen.

There are no Bans in that Tier.
Don't think there are any in HARD Tier above it either, so did you maybe move alliances to a lower level one ?
Otherwise I'd say that your Ally probably lost enough War Rating that you maybe fell down to the next lower Map Tier, but I think you would have had to fall down 2 Map Tiers to get from a Ban'ing Tier to Intermediate.
1. The opposing alliance is in a higher Tier where bans are enabled, so they might have been able to configure the bans, but you couldn't.
2. @Pikolu mentioned that there is a bug where, for some reason, the game enforces automatic bans in wars up to Tier 9. These are automatic bans that cannot be configured.
In either case, this doesn’t mean that the other alliance intentionally banned attackers while you couldn’t. Instead, since you were unable to choose bans, attackers were banned randomly, and you might have to hope for good bans.
I’m in Hard (Tier 8), we don’t have a manual BAN that we can setup, except for if setting next higher Tier Map (Challenger).
But when I scroll down on Attacker Select Screen, I see Moon Knight, Thing, and Loki have BAN mark across them.
Don’t know if those are Random each war, or pre-set by Kabam for that Tier. (Never checked further down in selection in other wars, from where I normally just pick from among my top choices for attackers)
Something odd in AW bans, no ban button available in my tier, but it seem active.
Go to your DEFENSE SETUP, then go to UP (+) Tier Map to CHALLENGER version.
In there you can see (and set) your 3 Bans.

(*BUG*) Just don’t know why they seem to be active for the actual war going on in HARD map.
And don’t know (if your Ally has NOT choosen 3 to ban), whether game then just pick 3 at random for your opponents to NOT be able to use on Offense.
*if so, that might explain some people saying “why in the world would xxxx be selected as a ban ?” (because maybe that champ wasn’t, just random because opponent never chose any bans, because they’re in HARD map, so why set anything for Challenger when that's not what their current tier is)
And for those actually in Challenger, are VOID and SILK the champs that are automatic (one banned, the other NOT allowed to be banned) ? That's what else I see when I do the UP to Challenger in our Setup Defense.
(from other)
*and follow up from my own just above. While Challenger Map Blacklisted VOID is showing as Banned when looking at UP(+) Defense Setup, it doesn’t look like he is actually banned from selecting as Attacker (when on HARD Tier), unlike the other 3 alliance-chosen (or random) banned champs (which indeed are NOT allowed to be picked as Attacker when doing HARD Tier War)
(see earlier screens, with the toggle bars for various options)
What that means is that you only Place Defenders in a SINGLE Tier Map (in your case, “Hard” map).
And the setting then allows for automatic placement (same defenders, same node #’s) if your Ally moves Up/Down to the next Tier Difficulty of Map.
So you will not be able to see the next higher Tier Map in which to see where Bans are setup, while you are using that Auto Placement setting.
But if you turn AUTO PLACEMENT to *off*, then in Defense Placement map screen, you will see 3 Icons on bottom right. (Current Tier, as well as UP and DOWN Tier's, where you can place defenders differently for each of the 3 maps)
Then, going to the UP Tier map (one above HARD), there will then be more icons along right side of screen, in which you can set your Banned Champs (preventing opponents from using as an Attacker).
**BUG**
Is that even though you may be playing on a HARD Tier Map, if your opponents have ever setup Bans into the Tier above that, they will still be used by the game to prevent you from choosing those as an Attacker on your “Hard” map war. (and conversely, your Bans against your opponent for their Attackers.)
Since Bans should only get used on the Tiers above Hard, that is the bug.
