There are so many threats to prepare for now. The ORAS meta was bad enough, you'd often lose by matchup because your opponent has one of the 50 offensive threats that you can't prepare for without gimping your team.
Now there are Ultra Beats, new mons, and Z-moves (which turn every fucking pokemon into a surprise lure or setup sweeper). Variety and diversity is not a good thing. Aegislash keeping a bunch of pokemon down and checking everything is a good thing. The meta would be damn near unplayable without Aegislash, Heatran, Ferrothorn, Alolan Marowak, etc.
The average player is too fucking dumb, short-sighted, or whatever, so they don't realize, or don't care. Aegislash is annoying and stops their brainless hyper offense, then forces them to actually predict and learn their opponent's style to get around King's Shield rather than flowchart their way through the fight. Fixing the problem right in front of them is most important, so they want Aegislash banned so they won't have to deal with it anymore.
Fucking pathetic.
If reading through Smogon's forum thread on this has taught me anything, it's that the voting system and suspect process is a fucking crapshoot; you can't trust people to be objective and unbiased.
Aegislash will be suspected and banned because people don't like it. It's never going to get a "fair trial."
