to answer your stratos konami probably banned him due to  the  fact he would probably be to good later in the game. elemental heros have plenty of searches which was reinforcement of the army then they have shadow mist and emergency call they limited reinforcement. but then again they did ban him just because of dumb reasons when he wasn't going to help the hero decks out to much. chain was banned because clownblade abused him and other decks plus he was also generic for most decks in yugioh there's a even better reason to ban him then there's exciton knight the one card that changes the game's flow from you having a disadvantage to the opponent when it's basically your fault for being sacked. and as i stated before you should be happy his effect doesn't activate when damage is dealt just be happy it isn't but since it's not he isn't broken. meta yes? but honestly i am still asking today can anybody i mean anybody beat them with the decks i used with no problem or panick i'm just asking has anyone other then me defeated fifth omni with shadow heros or gaigranders or kaizerion i can pretty much cut kaizerion or ein? or katana world... if not ima just give up and agree with you since i can't state a fact from my experience because i'm obvisiously the best player.
