>>30369633The solution is incredibly simple and the fact that Smogon won't enact it shows how fucking incompetent they are.
Step 1. Sort things into tiers
Step 2. If there are any abilities, held items, or other various bullshit that specifically make a pokemon fit into a certain tier, allow people to use it in lower tiers without those things (such as Soul Dew on Latios and Latias, Blaze Blaziken, non-mega Lucario, etc.)
3. Do not fall into the trap of saying "well, it's okay to use primal groudon in OU as long as it doesn't attack" or other stupid bullshit
Suddenly, you have more options for people at no cost to the existing playstyles.
"No complex bans" just means "we don't want to go to the effort of thinking about things".
