West is the only realm that bans exile in GM melee. I'm on east so always used it in zvz.

I was actually using sarcasm, although I guess I see how that is easily lost on the internet!



Not true, the Europe NL Melee league also bans exile, and any items that grants an aura.


Other options are:

Alma Negra
Stormshield
Zaka


Im sure there are a couple of other semi-decent options but they are the best ones IMO.

Since when do they ban exile on europe? Must be a new rule.

How come in the game pn//1 the melee room they ban exile?

they don't. You just can't use it against fury druids or conc barbs. You never have to go non tap vs a Zealot even if he's non tap
