>That feel when I HAVE to run either Heatran, Rotom-W, or Tyranitar just to counter this piece of shit

Gale Wings ban when

Seriously, though, I was reviewing my OU team and thought to myself... hmm... Rotom-W hasn't been contributing much lately- who could I replace him with? And then it occurred to me, if I don't have Rotom-W, my entire gets anally-pulverized by Brave-Band-Talonshit. I know pokemon like Heatran and T-Tar hard counter Smogonbird, but that doesn't make the pokemon any less broken against teams which lack said counters. You might as well say Kanghaskhan shouldn't be banned because of Sableye.

Fuck this thing. Talonflame is truly the worst thing that ever happened to the metagame.
