>>20765646The problem is A) Smogon only has a decent grasp of OU which, admittedly they seem to know how 1v1 battles of 6 mons works, at least when it comes to the Meta. That THEY made.
However, when it comes to a tier like Doubles where strategies that aren't "4 sweepers a SR mon/spinner and maybe one slightly stallish Mon" aren't viable, they have their heads so far up their asses they are looping around to seeing out their own mouth. I personally made it to #7 on the Showdown ladder using Chansey, Shuckle, Blastoise+Audino or Slaking+Galantula/Victreebell, Gothitelle and Mismagius/Celebi depending on whether I had Victreebell or Galvantula. I constantly saw nothing but Rain Teams in the lower part of the ladder because Smogon knows jack about Doubles so they treat it like singles: Weather + buttons.
