I mean this is kind of a non-issue. If you're getting consistently swept by a SubSD Sand Veil Gliscor on ladder, it's because you fucking suck, not because you're getting luck fucked. Speaking of Sand Veil Gliscor, there are no other OU relevant Sand Veil Pokemon. So I don't see the point?
The only merit the complex ban was in the UU metagame when Hail was everywhere and Froslass was a cunt. But Hail got banned there, so that became useless. In OU, nobody actually uses Hail, and even on Hail teams, Froslass isn't all that common.
This is just such a trivial issue...and if you get luck fucked, bitch a little and move on. Jirachi pisses me off way the fuck more than Sand Veil Gliscor ever could...and that's fine. The main thing is, proponents of banning all of the elements of luck are just pissed they lost a game they should have won...which happens in all walks of life.
Just make keep Evasion Clause to things that can boost your Evasion by an entire stage, and bring Lax / Brightpowder back too. Those bans were even more stupid than this is.
edit: This is specifically for LucaroarkZ. In this shitty ass game that we call enjoy, there is no 100% chance of success. There is the chance of losing regardless of the variation or how much better you are than your opponent...there is some degree of hax that goes on in every single move you make, every decision you make, and every attack that happens. This is but one of them. The only way your "BAN THIS BS I HATE MISSING" argument could gain any degree of semblance is if you extended it to removing hax from the metagame. Otherwise this is just another instance of hax that you're not very likely to see.
BAN QUICK CLAW I HATE LOSING CAUSE HIS SLOW POKEMON HAXED HIS WAY AND KILLED ME. BAN FOCUS BAND IT MAKES HIS POKEMON INVINCIBLE IT NEVER DIES. BS HAX BS HAX BS HAX.
