From what I remember UU was a lot faster paced and had a lot more things running curse/swords dance sets without the fear of skarm showing up to wall. This made UU bland and it never took any tough planning to win. Things like ursaring/kangaskhan/victreebel were very dangerous. Some people even considered drumfable UU which felt like a bad joke. I always felt that skarmory should be included in UU only battles because he itself poses no threat other than stalling a lot of sweepers.

Both Ursaring and Kangaskhan are banned from UU. I guess in the past when you last played it there was no BL tier but now there are over 20 non-OU Pokemon banned from UU, placed in the UU ban tier (BL).

UU could've been better if someone took the time to make a list of pokemon too strong for UU instead of it being just a restriction on all OU pokemon. For example, things like snorlax and raikou would be obviously banned, while pokemon like suicune, steelix, skarmory, and forretress allowed.

Banning just four or five OU Pokemon and making a metagame from that is not really the point of UU, because, to begin with, Skarmory and Suicune are not really "underused", and UU shouldn't look any similar to OU at all. But again, I think you are pointing this out not knowing that a BL tier exists and that the overpowered pokemon (over 20 in total) like Ursaring and Kangaskhan have been placed there to balance the UU metagame.
