>>20243864I'm capping this. This is going to be my go-to response to the anti-smogon fags that don't understand anything about Smogon.
>>20244458Things don't settle as slowly as you think. When one thing gets banned while there are other massively broken things in the tier, it's best to off those other broken things quickly before they make things too imbalanced. Kokoloko originally wanted a no-ban policy for UU but retracted that when things became ludicrously broken and unplayable, so he and the others in UU quickbanned almost everything that was standing out at that point to stabilize the metagame, and it worked wonders. Things get retested every week for reincorporation to combat the bans that might have seemed too hasty, and so far three things have been reincorporated.
OU is the main metagame for Smogon, so they have to be meritocratic with the banning process as there are significantly more people that have a stake in the tier, which makes the banning process very long. Since every suspect test lasts around two or three weeks, we see the the metagame as it is now without what was previously banned. If they pull the "metagame test without suspect", we can see what it's like without the suspect which in a sense shows the future of the metagame. Reincorporation tests in UU last one week, and I have never felt that I didn't have a grasp on the suspect's place in the metagame after playing with it for one week. So three weeks is more than enough time to let the dust settle. Your point is invalid to the majority of the people who play regularly.
And on the case of new additions, they couldn't possibly be as big as the addition of HAs. Oh look a few tutor moves and some new megas. I can't think of a single tutor move that would break anything in OU.
