>>43767955I have, in my experiences in showdown, never surpassed 1500 on the ladder, but then again I always use meme teams and try to frustrate the opponent
this has gone on for years now, but I have pretty much stopped after Sun & Moon released
too much Landorus-T, too much Ferrothorn
all I ever see are stall teams and I am pretty much obligated to make wall-breaker teams in any generation
gen 5 OU was so much more interesting, even with the "win-button" that was outrage, at least you EXPECTED it to happen when the dragon was out, and it was easy to tank the hits from it if you knew what you were doing
so many bans to so many strategies over the years... the entire metagame is stale and all it is now is just stall, stall, stall
it's fucking boring
I don't want to watch my opponent set up rocks and spikes and phase me out, I spin, he sets them up again...
then I try to break the walls he's got (the entire team is the wall) then he just switches in toxapex and uses recover
why would any sane person subject themselves to this boring, monotonous style of play
