should the homing boost power be banned also. then all people would do is sit back and shoot. and with the hominh boost, its almost impossible to dodge some weapon shots (black club, angel bow, ex cannon, predator cannon).
and transparency should be banned too

That's a pretty interesting case, actually. The thing with Homing Boost is that it clearly makes some weapons OP, as they become undodgable, but they actually are either banned (Eyetracks, Gemini, Angel, Predator), slow, or with a low cancellation (Doom Cannon, Cursed Palm, Black Club, Babel Club). So what you're left with is that banning Homing Boost would make some weapons with bad homing worse (Centurions, Cragalanche, Darkness Bow). What you could do is make it so only certain sets of weapons/powers are banned, that way some weapons can come out of the banlist, but that would require a deeper understanding on the metagame, something I currently don't have. So our banlist can do for now, although it's not perfect.
