I can understand why those offseasons want to ban can battles, in playoffs it can destroy an alliance score in a specific match and even cost them in advancing during finals. I can say clearly that can battles are the most interesting thing in this year challange therefor I would recommend on adding an additional bin/s to each alliance like they did on IRI but decreasing the amount of bins on the step. That move will allow alliances that couldn't get some of the bins to actually advance during finals and will make the game more interesting.
but again... that's my opinnion
