This is objectively correct. I am so sick of this fucking meta. The last couple of tourneys I have entered were won by either true stall or "fat balance". I can't believe these chucklefucks have me playing doubles.

Yes.
The complex dynamax ban was probably the best way Ubers could have approached this gen because now regular Pokemon are near the same level as the Ubers.

A 2/4 ratio of offense/defense isn't very balanced.
Especially since rotom still plays a very defensive role.

In VGC, the only stall you have to worry about is timer stall because some genius decided that the timer should continue ticking down when the battle animations are playing.

'Fat balance' is balance. "Fat" is a modifier. What's wrong with your comprehension skills?

Nah it pretty much is.
If stall is using 5-6 defensive Pokemon and balance is 3, since fat balance teams use 4 or 5 defensive pokemon I'd say it's pretty accurate to say it's most similar to semistall.
