^ And then Nullifiers came and they give 0 fcks (pardon the language) about Banshee's existence and then frame that can tank become better.

In all Honesty Banshee isn't bad. it's just that she can easily be replaced, and since her most powerful ability (Sonar) needs a complementary ability (MPrime for Example) to work in high levels makes it lack luster (and Sound Quake is counter productive case it pushes enemies back and it's easy for the spots to be covered by their hands), also Silence past the initial stun is useless in MObile Defence, Survival, Excavation and Defence cause enemies will have clear line of sight, the only way to make it worthwile is to use Excalibur or Mirage to blind them and leave them helpless, Sonic boom is fine but does minimal dmg (not an issue since it's all about CC) and the same stop bombard round thing can be mimicked by Slash Dash or Rhino Charge since these abilities make you invincible while dashing (not as easy to pull off but hey...).

Overall people prefer other frames over Banshee due to easier usage, that's why Nova and Rhino make a good team cause Nova Slows all enemies down and make them take 2x dmg and rhino further boosts this by atleast 50% so that's 3x more dmg and then headshots come into the scene and you end up with 6x more dmg while pretty much breezing through them, not to mention that crits further boost this dmg.

Anyway Banshee is a nice frame it's just that for all the good she does, there's something easier or more reliable. But that's just my opinion tho (and it's one coming from a veteran with over 1k hours invested who pretty much owns almost every item in the game).
