>>32708563Dude I've been in and out of the fucking system and I can tell you its already a meme in itself. After trying to salvage and save bans I find this entire game is just dying competitively (at least on the smogon side). People follow their honor rules but its been nothing but a shit show for awhile now.
Ever since that fight broke out on discord between admins its almost become faction-heavy. Like its a passive aggressive kind of in-fighting now on what direction people want to go with the meta, all I know now is that if something new springs up, they ban it. Period. Smogon's like a gardener that keeps trimming a flower's stray petals and goes too far and now they're at the stem, assuring themselves they can hit Gen 4 post-Garchomp Ubers ban where it was the golden age. But they can't.
Gamefreak needs to do some hardcore balance on the next gen if they want to fix anything. Smogon isn't the problem but has in itself become the meme I always thought it at least wasn't.
