>>30713770>it was a ban and it was a specific hit against stall, so shut the fuck upNo, bitch. YOU shut the fuck up, and let me tell you why.
You know what good a ban does on the last day of a gen? Nothing. There's no time to see the lasting effects and metagame development because the Gen dies the next day. Nobody plays it anymore except for small gimmick tourneys that nobody cares about and it's no longer the main focus because there's a whole new set of things to balance. On top of that, it was immediately UNBANNED THE NEXT DAY cause "muh new gen".
When people look back on gen 6, they're gonna remember Mega Sableye and stall cause it became the face of the gen by virtue of every prominent stall breaker getting banned. The Mega Sableye ban was a copout that didn't do anything but give bitch ass niggas like you a soapbox to try and act like Smogon isn't biased.
As for the rest of your motherfuckery, Swagger is a stupid example because there was zero skill involved and it made the game more of an rng shitfest than it actually is. Even Own Tempo mons would get fucked over by foul plays because they were all special attackers, and the only halfway decent one could only immobilize one thing at a time, and got fucked over by a spare Talonflame.
Lugia is an even shittier example because not only does it have god mode defenses, but it actually has offensive presence AND fantastic recovery. It's best answer is a box legend (Taunt Yveltal) and it can even beat THAT by just speed creeping.
Gamefreak had no idea special Aegislash could become a thing. They're just throwing shit at a wall and seeing what happens.
Tl;dr: sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up
