It's their own userbase's fault.

Every lVGC tournament nowadays will have atleast one incident where someone makes a scene over their opponent bringing out a smogon banned poke.

I've seen MANY more cases of "WHY SHOULD SMOGON BE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN RULES AND PLAY HOW THEY WANT?!" than "WHY SHOULD OTHERS BE ALLOWED TO NOT PLAY BY OUR RULES?!"

Anti-authoritarian cunts will keep thinking they're being persecuted even when they aren't. Anti-smogonfags are like tumblr feminists: they think the big bad smogon(patriarchy) is trying to keep them down, when no one with credibility wants to deal with them, let alone persecute them. Most of the time the people kicking and screaming don't understand even 10% of what they're talking about.

Of course there are the sheep that take all the shitposting on /vp/ seriously and adopt that opinion.

i think it's wonderful. not only is it very practical, but it hurts smogdrones even more -- especially those on facebook who take it as pokemon law

i knew i could always (mostly) trust smogon

This... makes sense, I guess.

I may find their bans questionable, but if I really, really disliked it, I wouldn't play by their rules. So I don't mind it overall, though I will miss Deoxys-D. I just have to adapt to their rules because I choose to play by them.

I think that's how it's supposed to work, anyway.

It was a solid lead. It had that bulk and was 95% sure to get hazards up.

I can see why they'd ban it, I guess. It wasn't undefeatable, though.

Fuck yeah it was.
Having deoxys on your team was a guaranteed hazard.

Yeah, and then it could hardly do much else (Defense form at least).

Lackluster HP means that it can only Recover stall for so long, and if you have any Defog/Spinner support on your team (which you should), then you can easily get the hazards off the field.

Why would you argue with him. Anyone who thinks that Deoxys-D wasn't one of the very best pokemon in the tier never saw it at their end of the ladder. Deo-D usage amongst bad players is so minimal that it's aggregate usage rank is in the mid 40s.

Yeah, it's decent paired with that one specific Pokemon. Any decent battler could handle it though, especially with the popularity of Mandibuzz and Skarmory, who can't exactly be "spin"blocked.

Not saying Deoxys-D is bad, I know it's a great Pokemon, but I feel like it's being highly overestimated.

Unless you're running some obscure Bisharp set that I don't know about, it's not that complicated

Smogon has been shit since Gen IV. One only needs to look at their awful handling of UU to see this. It doesn't surprise me that /vp/ is full of smogoniggers.

Also fuck their new layout

That's their own fault, with many people on youtube and such using tiers now the younger audience are starting to think that they're the official rulemakers.
And then there's the autists that have hissy fits in public places about pokemon they've banned.

Which is why most high tier VGC (which uses rules that go completely at odds with smogon's) players are smogon users.
Stop your strawmanning and bogeymanning
