>>48892399We all know that Smogonfaggotry can be ridiculous, but it's really somehow getting worse and worse by the year.
It started of course with banning Evasion and OHKO moves, on the grounds of being "uncompetitive" (a favorite phrase of smogbabies that really just means "thing I don't like"). And it was like, fine, whatever, really don't need to play with these to have fun still.
But then came ability bans, like Shadow Tag, Moody, and fucking Arena Trap. You should hear what the modern smogonfag has to say about Arena Trap Dugtrio---but they'll always sum it up as "uncompetitive", "unhealthy", "broken", etc.. You read guys here talking about how smogonfaggots do everything in their power to facilitate stall, and you can easily see the truth in that when you consider Dugtrio's ability to erase certain mons from the match in a heartbeat. Toxapex, Blissey, Heatran, Jirachi, take your pick; they shit their pants when their mon gets evaporated. Don't be shocked if, or when, Magnet Pull gets "looked at" next. They whine about all trapping being "broken", and even know complain about something as legitimately cost-benefit analysis as having to run Shed Shell on their Skarmory.
They banned King's Rock, they banned Assist, there's really no limit to what they will ban, as long as it's good and doesn't fit into stall.
They claim to hate "complex" bans as if absurd shit like being unable at all to use Sandslash and Cacturne in OU because their only ability is Sand Veil, when you're not even running Sand Stream yourself, or Mr. Mime without Baton Pass, or Blaziken with just Blaze, makes any sense at all when observed bald-faced. It makes them look retarded and lazy removing chunks of the game with no effort shown to reasonably handle whatever they got into their minds was the "problem" to begin with.
And now they are dead fucking set on getting rid of Baton Pass altogether.
