at what point do you just admit your players are the problem?
>>59617546>Smogon
Who cars?Let the smoggies play their retarded fanfiction and play a different metagame instead.
>>59617577>Who cars?I’m more of a truck guy
>smogoon
>>59617546Glass Cannons are WAY stronger in singles than they are in Doubles.In doubles, you need a super strong spread attack like Astral Barrage to be considered decent as a glass cannon. Since otherwise you at best get 1 KO before being knocked out by the other Pokemon. It’s why Yaichu ended being more support in VGC than all out attacker.In singles, so long as your opponent doesn’t have anything faster or strong priority, you just take knock out after knock out.
>>59617589This. TCG rules over Smogoon.It was TCG, right? Or was it TPC?
>>59617546When they start being the problem, people need to adapt to the mon if they want to vote ban so
>>59617546I thought tiering action wasn't planned because bots are good enough to qualify for reqs now?
>>59617593Did they ban garchomp too? Because it can deal with it easy style. Or m-sceptile
>>59617577Carbrain
>>59617595No, you can just use it in your ladder reqs if it's so broken.
>>59617600Mega Sceptile is ass bruh
just bring your own yaichu and don't mega it until the other guy's yaichu is dead
>>59617546>fanfic metaOkay, and?
Smogon is still around? Lmao
>>59617761Some of them do use the suspected mon, and they still usually vote ban
>>59617577I liked Planes
>Make a format based off what's allowed in Champions>Ban Pokemon from your copy format, breaking synchronicity with Champions
They shopuld make a meta based on how fuckable the Pokémon are and Vaporeon becomes the new competetive meta Pokémon.
>>59617837Just like they have a format based on SV and ban pokemon that are usable in SVChampions OU has never been supposed to be a "copy format", it had quick bans week one and is handled like any other game before
>>59617837They want to force a square peg in a round hole by trying at all costs to slow down their format while GF, balancing around doubles, keeps aiming towards a dominance of fast paced offense
People get mad at Smogon's tiering system now? How fucking news are you faggots?
>>59617546weird how no one would ever claim that mega raichu y needs to be banned in champions singles, hmm
What are they going to do when game freak does a 180 and removes pokemon from the pool for the laughs?>>59618880Because players of official formats are submissive
>>59618922Raichu (as a whole) is currently the 39th most used Pokemon in official Champions Singles. It is actually ranked higher in Doubles, at 16th position.Is the 39th most used Pokémon really worthy of a ban?
>>59618880>>59618926Because it hardfucks the one particular (((playstyle))) that's only possible in 6v6 singles
>>59617546It's singles, anything that's fast and hits hard completely wrecks the meta, because singles just does not work as a format
>>59618926Different formats, different threats
>>59618926Smogon doesn't do bans based on usage, otherwise the 59% Lando-T era wouldn't be a thingThey do it when the thing relies too much on RNG or has too few viable counters
>>59619063Or when it breaks their favoured playstyle, shows the limits of singles and shits all over autistic adults who think being an ash ketchum clone's a desirable thing to be. Then they ban it to retain their delusional safespace.
>>59617577You car or you wouldn't have replied hope this helps!
>showdown
>>59619073"their favourite playstyle" has been broken since the start of gen 8 and I haven't seen them giving extra PP to healing moves to compensate for it. You don't make any sense.
>>59619139So tell us how many battles are there on cart or champions right now?
>>59619063If a Pokemon had few viable counters then why wouldn’t its usage be higher?
I don't care for Champions because it's still missing so much content.
>>59619197More than that
>>59618880Nobody takes 3v3 seriously, not even the people that play it.
>>59619320>the people who don’t take their format seriously are better at the game than smogshittersgrim
>>59617546Is this because Dynamic Punch or... ?
>>59619632>”””””””uncompetitive mindgames”””””””this is called the opponent outplaying you
>>59619632Sounds like they just want to dumbing down the meta, desu
>>59619609>Dynamic PunchBased retard
playing late gen singles is crazyt. adv gang
>>59619681I forgot who is the physical sweeper and who the special one.
>>59619852The Y Mega is always special. The X Mega is always physical
>>59617780Hey Verlisify
