Banned things in multiplayer?
Hi everyone! I'm new here but I consider myself a veteran heroes 3 player (even though any of you could beat me i think ). I've never played online, only with my friends or cousins. Ever since I got my copy 10 or so years ago, me and my friends have been trying to find the strongest towns and heroes but I'd like to hear the opinions of the best players.
In my opinion, people ban or patch things in a game if that makes the game unbalanced, in other words if the banned thing is too powerful. From what i've gathered necropolis and/or conflux are almost always banned and ironically, my favorite town is necro and my cousin's is conflux. Necro fits my turtling strategy well, however I'm not good when using the conflux. I understand that necropolis is banned because the legions of skeletons necromancy can generate but why is conflux banned? The +4 growth of the phoenix is the reason or something else?
So necro and flux are the best towns, but who are the best heroes? I usually use Galthran for my skeleton army, should I choose someone else, can anyone compete with his bonus? Who is the best hero in the conflux?
I also know that some skills also get banned, for example logistics or diplomacy. Why are these banned? I'm especially curious about diplomacy because i can somewhat understand logistics. Are any other skills banned?
Is there anything I may have left out? Spells for example? Haste with expert air magic for example is pretty powerful in my opinion.
In summary, i'd like to know the best/overpowered/usually banned things in HoMM3 multiplayer. I own the conplete edition if that makes a difference. Thank you for reading this wall of text and for your answers in advance. 
P.S.: English isn't my native language so sorry for any mistakes I may have made.
P.P.S.: my tactic is getting the capitol first, then the rest. Why is this a bad strategy? I've read it is. Thanks!

few more reasons:
- easy to buy buildings
- no retaliation from Sprites
- many native external dwellings on random maps
- huge magic immunity and resistance
- strong level6 units

look at Statistics page at WCL ( www.heroes-iii.com )

depends on map size, rules and other settings...Isra, Vidomina, Thant are pretty good.

Monere, Luna, Grindan

Logistics is not banned normally, just few heroes with Log specialty.
With Diplo you can join e.g. 100 level 7 creatures on week 2...maybe even more.

We're having a fight with my nephew again. We're trying to decide which skill is more powerful, necromancy or diplomacy. I'm with necromancy because you don't have to decide which creatures to take with you if your army has 7 creatures already, you can just hoard those skeletons and build an unstoppable army. What's your opinion?
One other thing... Recently I've been watching professional gameplays to see how experts play and I would like to play as well as you do because even though I am an experienced player I'm nowhere near an expert. If anyone has the time to play some games with me, to teach me please send me a pm and we'll arrange something. Thanks in advance.
