Smogon does ban offensive threats more than defensive ones but that is because offensive threats are much more likely to restrict team building and creativity by requiring specific checks to not instantly lose to them. Take Dracovish and Clefable pre-Crown Tundra for example, nearly every team had to have Seismatoad or Gastrodon or just outright lose to Dracovish, which is why it was banned. Meanwhile Clefable was left alone because it wasn't restrictive on team building in nearly the same way. --- From the depths, the thing they called Worm King did rise.
