Optimal ban targets for Border ranked play. Attack bans neutralize the most dangerous attacker operators against this map; defense bans neutralize the most oppressive defender setups.
Border's reinforced walls on Workshop and Armory are heavily electrified. Without Thatcher, attackers must rely on slow Kali or Twitch plays to clear Bandit and Kaid.
S.E.L.M.A charges can open multiple walls from safety. Removing Ace forces attackers into riskier Thermite plays on Border's exposed wall positions.
Black Mirrors on Workshop connector and Customs walls give defenders overwhelming intel and deny safe entry through Border's tight corridors.
Border's many exterior windows and rooftop approaches make Valkyrie's outside cameras devastating for early warning and C4 runout kills.
Ban order is half the round. The other half is execute, anchor, and rotation reads.
