Decks that only aim to combo out and are completely indifferent to anything you are doing are a bane on the game and the reason I would exclusively play limited if it were an option.
I wish wotc would aggressively ban the key pieces of these decks that let them basically cast half their deck after resolving a single 3 mana spell.
Also, poker should be played without aces and chess without queens. They're just OP.
Wotc can do this, sure... so long as they restrict it to BO1. In BO3, decks needing to run a couple pieces of hate/interaction in the sideboard to deal with a linear combo is good for the health if the game, if anything. (If that's still not enough, then sure, ban it globally. But BO1 and BO3 are fundementally different games.)
I should not have to play a control deck just to be able to play a game of magic without my opponent winning on turn 3
