>>38451077>OHKO moves are "Balanced"Maybe they banned OHKO moves because they're fucking obnoxious to fight? How would you feel if you were about to win a guy and suddenly he popped off a Sheer Cold and, despite you being the more skilled player, despite beating him for 99% of the game fairly and squarely, the last 1% came down to a coinflip he won and he wins because of that. It's bullshit is what it is.
They banned OHKO and Evasion because it promotes luck-based games over skill-based gameplay. Evasion is so universally hated that one of the most common House Rules outside of simulator play is to ban it, since it forces a Luck-Based Mission on the opponent that they have no control over. It's also impossible to completely counter, since most perfect accuracy attacks are too weak to use, Switch Out Moves have negative priority and are blocked by Taunt, and literally every Pokémon that can learn TMs (read: all but 5 or so) can be taught Double Team (the main evasion attack). Since Smogon promotes skill-based playing over luck, legalizing Evasion would go against everything they have stood for since its inception. OHKO Moves fall into a similar category. You're a talentless scrub if you're trying to say that it's fun and balanced to play with this shit. You talk about how the smogon's moderation board has their head up their ass but the you stuck yours so far up your own that you're become an ouroboros of shit-eating serpents, constantly devouring the same argument and shitting out the same "but its balanced" reasoning.
Maybe they banned it because it's fucking miserable, boring and horribly unfun to fight against, did you ever think about that? For the love of god, I don't think you've ever fought against an Evasion team if you're saying this. Hell, you probably use it yourself. You One-Hit-Kill using, Double Team Spamming, Stall Loving, Smogon Whining, Swagger Using, Para-Flinch Worshipping, Fun Hating little bastard.
