**WE ARE NO LONGER Temporarily Reverting Tier 1 War Ban System**
After further discussion, the game team has made the decision not make adjustements to the ban system.
The previously proposed fix would have resolved the issue for Summoners who are on the cusp of T1/T2 play, and negatively impacted Alliances more securely in T1. Instead, we recommend that cusp Alliances switch to Manual Placement to your members to place the allotted 5 Ban Champions limit there.
Apologies for the back and forth, and for any confusion.

The precedent was set with Quake. No nerf, just aged out of the meta.
I have 6 star champs who I've only used in Arena. It may be an oversimplification to say so, but if one doesn't like a champ, or think they make the game to easy, or any number of other reasons for not wanting them in game, then even if crystal RNG causes them to join their collection, that champ does not have to see any useage in game play.
It seems as though an underline reason (as many have said) is that most who desire his nerf (or removal from other crystals, or other such solution) is asking because they feel that those who have him have too much of an advantage over those who do not.
I have talked to many people who have agreed and who have herc including me and we do exactly what you said, we don’t use him. Just by us not using him though doesn’t make the game balanced again. Herc is powerful because he does allow for potential steam roll of content. It’s not an opinion it is fact. The game has to find a balance some way and it was even suggested before that if herc was part of the evaluation program he probably would have been looked at for a rebalance.
They will likely not add him to the 7* pool for awhile, same as how they are not adding quake to the 6* pool. Their current star versions are good enough to overtake content as is
If I am not wrong it will probably be Christmas when they will add the next pool update which most probably won't contain herc
I expect him before July 4th,2024 or before black Friday 2024
And by then they will have already released champions that counter his abilities(champions which decrease buff duration or neglect the ability as a whole(from my experience aar actually prevents immortality as my herc was killed by domino without triggering immortality)
So no need to make the delay more than it already is
Sell crystals
Feign regret
Nerf them via meta change (new champs and nodes which counter them)
Release new OP champ (forget about how we regretted releasing the last one)
Rinse
Repeat
