>>18317029As someone who is usually supportive or indifferent to smogon bans or ruling, holy fuck they dropped the ball on this one.
"I-It's uncompetitive! People who suck at the game can get a high rating with hax alone!" Well so fucking what, it was literally never a problem. I've played a buttload of games on showdown and I literally can't recall the last time I ran into swagplay abuser. Sure, some teams have an occasional swagplay klefki, but the infamous teams of six swagplayers? I can't even remember.
Especially stupid is pic related. "We don't give any fucks. Go ahead, call us scrubs, laugh at us, but WE GOTTA BAN SWAGPLAY BECAUSE THERE'S THIS ONE GUY ABOVE 1800 RATING WHO'S NOT USING DEOSHARP." That's the real fucking kicker, talking about banning swagplay before Deoxys-D.
