Dunno why it was removed, other than they said it wasn't intended to be a sticky, but a trap. Doesn't really explain how it went 2 years unchecked...except that the exotic gloves prob exacerbated a perception that they gave an unfair advantage. High use and conforming to a specific tactic is almost certain to force changes that remove that tactic as the go-to. Sad really, as some of the changes are a surprise. Others are easy to understand.
