Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Its not that aegislash should be banned to allow for the mons you mentioned become more powerful, these examples show how Aegislash over-centralizes some of the most powerful and "potentially" broken sweepers to deal with it. In my opinion, over-centralization towards dealing with a mon is equal...
Pinsir pretty much runs earthquake for aegislash. It would prefer close combat to get past one of its only true counters, skarmory. If slash can cause one of the most threatening sweepers to change a move almost specifically for it, we may have a problem on our hands.
Just want to add that horde battles should be included. They can be used to give hidden abilities(assuming pokemon can't be found in the wild w/ them) and for ev training. Using hordes you can fully ev train a stat in like 6 battles, allowing for non-grindy ev training.
The sheer amount of paralysis hax. (and the fact that im able to pull a win out of my ass after playing so bad)
