This meta is in a bizzare state where very few think it is balanced - Mainly due incredible threat saturation. Yet trying to fix it with a suspect test to ban something most likely won't work, due to everyone disagreeing on which threat to target. Sounds kinda ironic, doesn't it? And it does not...

I do want to look at the senorlopez method of adjusting the sleep clause, as I do think it's interesting. Smogon enforces bans and rulesets in a manner that's similar to asking players to create a group of promises: "I promise I won't bring this pokemon, or this move, or this item into the...

This might be an odd proposal, and I'm not sure if this has been brought up much. But here's one idea to balance Tera: Ban Same Type Tera. Let's think on this: One big problem with tera I see is how it enables wall breaking to an unbelievable degree. So to give more breathing room for...

I'm quite skeptical that a suspect about tera will ever put any action on the mechanic. That is, unless we allowed the suspect to have a period that actually tested a teraless meta. The problem is that unlike just any one potentially broken Pokemon, tera affects the game in so many different...

I'm looking at the predicament Terestalling has made, and do feel for the tier leaders for having to figure out how to deal with it. Very split, and I'd imagine that it will take a long time until a full agreement would ever be made. Having said that, my opinion is Tera is busted mainly because...

Looking at the suspect, and the situation at hand... I think the pro-ban side unconsciously had an ideological reason in its argument: That Banning the goths would free up other styles of play the goths discouraged, like Balance and Stall. The problem is that many players did not seem to care...

If it were me, I would have added an extra suspect test ladder for Sand Rush. At least test and see what how the meta would look like if the Sand Rushers got banned and Gigalith remained, and see how people like playing in the tier. That way, we can gauge what people actually want in the tier...

Reread it, and now I understand that. It looks like Gothitelle is the 'Boo' of the meta, then: If players look at it and know the builds to counter it, it just sits there, and doesn't do much for a team. But when players start ignoring it when team building as it fades from usage, it creeps...

From what I'm reading, the big reason people want to ban Gothitelle/Gothorita is similar to other elements banned in Ubers, let alone all other official tiers right now: It relies too much on luck to function. Think of why Swagger is banned: It creates situations of where confusion luck decides...

Personally, I don't like argumentation like this from many of you, as it is overly... For a harsh term, Xenophobic. When a new Pokemon fully enters a tier, it should not be labeled a foreigner. It is a citizen, more or less like any other Pokemon placed in the tier. Pretend that Sand Stream...

I tend to lurk here, but this occurrence is so bizzare to me that I signed up give my opinion about this. Even though I love many non-competitive mons, and like seeing people do creative things with them, the Ambipom incident is very problematic to lower tiers. It unfairly "joke bans" those...
