>>22693150>It's the right lead 87% of the timeHow is that reason for a ban?
>They complain about certain Pokemon that make things easier or disregard the use of thought, like say the bullshit they made up for Mega Gengar, or Greninja No one said using Mega Gengar took no thought, for one thing. Greninja took no thought to use AND it exhibited broken qualities.
>a Pokemon that completely disregards a part as important of the game as picking the lead isIf you suspect your opponent will lead with Lando-T, why not lead with, uh, a bulky water or something? Or one of the several things that check Lando-T?
>60% usageStop. It's usage is 40% at most, and it has nowhere near this usage in the tourney scene which is what people actually care about.
Anyway, as to WHY Lando-T has this usage:
-It's the only good pivot
-People suck at team building
-It has no risk in using it
-There's a bajillion boosting sweepers and sanic physical threats that it checks.
The last point is important. Lando-T did not have this usage at the end of XY, and absolutely nothing changed about it in ORAS except that it has more things to check.
