Smogon must be the only "competitive" game where the elite circlejerk runs metagame policy, besides LoL. Victory Road and Swagger ban is the final nail in the coffin to their credibility.

Why do you think new strategies are banned at the drop of a hat. Because they're too lazy to counter it with their skillless brainless HO.

You have to admit, he has some pretty relevant points about the smogon metagame being an oligarchic circlejerk of autists at the expense of every other player on showdown. The only thing keeping them from being cancerous is that they're irrelevant to 90% of Pokemon players.

It's a circlejerk mixed with [s4s]. What's your point.

At this point they might as well drop the pretenses of being competitive and admit they're playing Calvinball.

All the top VGC players also played Smogon as well, and basically took a huge shit on Verlis when he made the video bashing Smogon.

Not really at all. If you go to the chatrooms on showdown. The general majority agrees with every ban. And since they're banning things for the community that plays the metagame I don't see what the problem is. These bans weren't to enforce YOU from not using swagger. It's for smogon's community. And a lot of the community wanted to see it banned. So please tell me, how is there any issue in that?

There's plenty of scrubs on Showdown who don't even know about shit like Victory Road and even they can tell when something is broken, it's far from ass kissing.

That's because the whole of Smogon is scrubs. They deviate from official rules and "ban" shit because the elite players can't handle it, when anyone with an actual game can and do ignore them. Prove me wrong, faggot :^)

GF themselves have acknowledged their shitty meta. If you think Mega Kan was their only problem, you're probably not very good competitively anyway.

You don't get it. This is freaking Gamefreak practically admitting "okay, that thing we made, it's unbalanced." When have they EVER done that?

Mega Kangaskhan is completely ridiculous. Even most VGC players think it's ridiculous. "lel just git gud and don't ban it" would just mean that, in order to not get rekt by it every time you run into, you're best off using it yourself, packing multiple checks and counters to it, and packing multiple counters to those checks and counters. ON EVERY TEAM.

It's not banned for being uncounterable. It's banned for being OP, centralizing and unfun to play again. This is why bans are made. Swagger, okay, pretty stupid, but everything else is absolutely justified.
