>>30476936Oh that part.
That was straight up conspiracy-tier bullshit.
As a result, now we have "Anything Goes" but still, Smogon's corrupt as fuck.
>>30476899He was talking about "if you have to rely on Stealth Rock to do the damage and punish switch ins, you're just bad"
It automatically does damage for you it's brainless. Its so ingrained in competitive its required to have something that creates and removes it. The unskilled part is that even if your Stealth Rock setter dies, the stealth rock still does damage beyond that. There's no counterplay to that beyond the Rapid spin/defog that while everyone should have still manages to be overbearing and limits team structure.
Punishing a switch-in should require prediction, you don't need to memebuild to do that but you shouldn't just be given a tool that does it for you.
It doesn't help that the OU council is so amazingly stubborn that they refuse to ever suspect it.
