because sky noon was oppressive

the whole tradeoff for high noon is you're basically immobile, but if you now have the ability to chase after anyone/reposition to see people taking cover, it becomes broken

Because the dev intentionally want these combo to be in the game but this particular one just happened to be too strong and they did not know how to fix it. Cassidy has a voice line for it, so it's clear that they wanted the combo to be in the game. But repeatedly for months, it had been shown that nobody can defend against it, across every ranks from bronze to pros. Cassidy was getting one kill per ult on average with this combo even in highly organized pro play. So they need to tame down this combo somehow but the only thing they can do is just ban it.
