>>42422627I wanna chalk it up to the format in question. Mega Kang was a mistake. Lando and Thundo were mistakes. Tapus and Ultra Beasts? See previous.
I do appreciate how some of those were balance patched for later releases as opposed to straight banned, but I would be lying if I said I was fine with seeing Lando when Tundra releases.
Still, I like to think this as opposed to Smogon Singles were the only option is to ban. Even if something is good in doubles, you still have 2 enemies on the field to take you out, so threats are easier to deal with imo.
Look at this current format, there is more variety than ever. I'm just praying it stays like this, at least for a while.
>>42422647I feel the same way about triples, but you what I thibk was even more underdeveloped of a format? Rotation. THAT is true 4d chess right there.
Entry hazards are easier to deal with than ever now that
>Rapid Spin buffs speed>Court Change>more removal methodsDunno if its as much a singles staple as it has been, but I think GF is attempting to calm it down.
>>42423109>its fasterYou arent wrong, and that could very well be the primary reason. I was at a midseason ( a big local, bigger than a PC but much smaller than regionals) a week or so ago and swiss brackets were bo3. It started at 11 and top cut didnt even start until 5. They origionally planned to do another tourney afterwards but had to cancel.
