>>304699931800-tier OU placed here. (I won't share my name at the moment due to internal drama on the discord happening as well)
Smogon's higher ups are dipshits at times. They literally have a sense of empowerment, I mean they call themselves "The OU Council". For fucks sakes guys, it's a FREE replication of a Nintendo game, not the whitehouse. If the Haunter scandal should teach anyone anything, its that these people are fucking insane.
Meanwhile this generation has proven to a few of us already that not only are they incompetent but they're extremely biased. For now, Decidueye and Golosiopod are not getting OU analysis because "We sort of pushed it aside". Meanwhile fucking Vikavolt, VIKAVOLT is getting an OU analysis while Decidueye isn't (I imagine they'll give it to him at some point but knowing them they'll put him in UU)
As I check the forums as well, the mods have muted the conversation some of us had last night as well...including my own comments.
Smogon's become nothing but a hivemind of power, and I'm seriously convinced I should just drop OU this generation because nothing's changing and people can't fucking get past what needs to be made actually healthy to the meta-game. There are a few people who actually aren't that bad but as I type this I begin to remember the times I had my comments disregarded because I wasn't fucking perfect despite having proven my worth to the community before.
