How is it elitist? Merely just play the game on showdown. If you want help you will easily get it. Its incredibly easy to become a part of the community.
This copy paste thing you're talking about is absolutely incorrect. It helps maybe when you're a new player. Any good player knows innovation and surprise are the keys to winning battles. However if you spam your "surprise" people will use it against you and it become less effective. Ex. Defiant thundurus
Balance comes eventually. Late XY was a perfect example of this. You would be foolish to think balance won't come again because of reverse power creep or something.
There's a flaw with your example. A lot of Pokemon get stealth rock. There is only one "overcentralizing" Pokemon. Ex kangaskan mega. There's also multiple ways of dealing with stealth rock too. Common defoggers, rapid spinners, taunt users, magic bounce etc.
Smogon is good. I used to be against it but that was when I was 13 year old shitter.
