Here, /vp/, let me share my story with you. This is my stance:
>never used smogon forums
>play on PS occasionally; currently do not have cart
>sub-1200 because doesn't need serious devotion
>been past 1400 before; never cared much for voting ability
>hardly ever tryhard anymore; mainly play for fun
Sure, I don't like what smogon does regarding bans and whatnot Blaze Blaziken disallowed is prime example of double standards, and sure it's suffering not being able to use your bromons in the tiers you want to, but everybody seems to be forgetting one crucial element: most of the time, smogon are not to blame for all the bullshit they produce.
Well, there are a couple of exceptions JUST BAN SPEED BOOST VARIANTS AND THE MEGA STONE, IT'S THAT FUCKING SIMPLE , but apart from that, the real guilty parties are the creators of the mons. You could say the playerbase too for being a bunch of cheap shmucks who hate skill and love Click-to-win pokémon. But if these mons weren't so disgustingly broken, these players don't have their instawin buttons anymore, ergo they're forced to use skill and prediction like the rest of us.
If we lived in a perfect world where all mons were balanced with each other, then there would be no cocksucking smogon for bans and everybody could enjoy their bromons without the pleasure of an anneurism everytime Talonflame used Brave Bird or Garchomp used Outrage.
Short Version; don't hate the smogon, hate the Gamefreak
