A couple of years ago, we allowed the use of air control on Balance and Panic maps. No one complained, no one filed reports to the Admin Council, but that didn't stop them from adding a rule prohibiting it without any voting. However, it would be absurd to after introducing the ban, invalidate the results of matches in which this ban was violated before its introduction, even though I personally had a tournament match on Balance where I won only with the help of air control. But we can't just cancel it now. The discussion about the Shaman's ability bug took place several months ago. The thread contains a statement from Dirty regarding this issue, containing the thesis that it "makes sea units usable" and there is no point in banning them. It also contains a post from Maydak, in which he informs the public that before using this feature, he consulted with another member of the Admin Council - Mizrael, and received the answer that "what is not prohibited is allowed." That is, the Admin Council knew about the whole situation, and no measures were taken. Question: what is the fundamental difference between air control on Balance and the Shaman's ability bug? Why does the prohibition of the first not require appeals to the Admin Council, but the prohibition of the second does? Of course, the bug needs to be banned (and it should have been banned after the first incident), but why should Redwhite have to replay a fairly won match?
