since urshifu rapid strike hits like a flimsy noodle on anything that resists it you should only be putting it on a dedicated rain team

What exactly is the plan with this team?
It seems like you just took 5 major OU mons (and Urshifu-Rapid) and slapped them on a team with no thought whatsoever.

This is how most people who bash Smogon think it works. Just pick the top 6 most used and they'll magically work together, no strategy to execute or thought going into how to properly build a team.

In some generations this works fine.
>gen 1
Tauros+lax+Chansey+Egg core with lead zam and mie as filler is definitely a legit fucking team. Simple as.
>gen 5
Plenty of metaslaves run Latios+ttar+lando+ferro+exca anyway. Breloom might seem a little out of place here because that slot will probably be something like rotom or a fast threat, but it still does resist ground and water and pressuring lots of the same stuff that rotom does.

And yet Breloom is still amazing in the generation that banned sleep moves. Clearly it doesn't need that shit. Amoonguss was hurt more and even Amoonguss is still decent enough tto be worth using.

Smogon now does a new thing where they go back to old generations and ban stuff they lose to because they don't have to do a standard suspect test, so they can literally just do whatever the tournament circlejerk wants.
See:
BP in DPP (cringe, no explanation needed)
Sleep in BW (cringe, tier raped by 4 moves latios)
Sand veil in ADV (okay this one makes sense)

And who still plays those gens? The tournament players. If they don't want this shit in their tier then what exactly is the problem? They're the ones who have to deal with the rules.

Honestly, I agree with those bans from a gameplay perspective, but I disagree fundamentally with changing the rules for a legacy meta.

>baseless you don't play accusation
I did play old generations and here is an old screenshot as proof. But not anymore because smogshit changed the shitty rules.
I'm not that good at anything besides gen7 by any means. But does that mean I'm not entitled to the chance to play in a suspect test and have an opinion be heard. If someone who is 1084 elo in gen8 can get a chance to participate in gen 8 suspects why can't a player who has put in comparable time and effort as myself (or even many players who play more and are better than me and have no voice)?
It would be one thing if these things were obviously sooooooo justifiable to quickban, but many of these aren't, as if they were it would have already fucking happened.

I didn't say you don't play. Well, the other post did but not mine. I said the people who still play those tiers are tournament players. Doing decently well on the ladder doesn't mean much. Anybody can make it to the top of the ladder in old gens where you'll keep facing the same opponents during dead hours. It makes way more sense to ask the tournament player base. Not to mention some stuff like Sand Veil in gen 3 did have suspect tests.
