Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
To be fair people interested in action on tera have done nothing but wait.....there's hasn't been much to look forward for that entire base of players that isn't ambiguous.
Looking at Booster in a vacuum it's pretty easy to make arguments about it not being broken but it does exert extensive...
Agree on test for booster, it contributes heavily to the offensive profile of the meta. It's the next thing in line if we ain't touching tera and there is no consensus on what mons need to be banned.
Standard Bolt, Gouging, Moon and Valiant sets get knocked down a peg as well as the vast...
I don't think it's a bad thing inherently. My comment about it is mostly an observation on how it contributes to the offensive profile of the tier, to that effect it contributes quite significantly.
If anything it seems like a clearly conscious decision on GFs part to make the singles meta more...
Pretty much this ^
The game is powercrept immensely, mostly due to:
1. Tera
———
2. Increased hazard distribution + Lack of removal distribution
3. Booster Energy
4. Stat piles
Right now Tera is “untouchable” because of all this biased reasoning like “it’s fun” or “skill expression” or...
Agree with this take entirely.
This response to sleep is clearly because of Darkrai which regardless of being annoying likely still isn't banworthy. This discussion on sleep happens every gen and the conclusion is generally always the same at this point. The mechanic is fine as is and is not...
Kokoloko method just seems arbitrary af on a number of points.
It breaks some current policy, doesn't address the concerns of it, moves away from data usage as supplementation for action and likely adds more issues as opposed to the current system. Hard pass on this for me.
Meta enjoyment -1
Meta Competitiveness - 1
Worst gen so far and by far...5 was more fun.
Quickbans - 1
Ya'll need to chill on this, easy way to get more backlash. Figure out a better process.
:Gholdengo: Gholdengo - 5
NEEDS TO GO - Good is Ghold (Meta-stranglehold abilty) + Typing + Bulk +...
Agreed.
People will try to make the point that Booster is not at fault because it's not individually causing every mon using it to be broken, which technically is true. However, viewing this particular item in a vacuum this way ignores it's broader effect on the meta as well as it being a big...
We should wait for DLC2 but tbh we've already had a lot of support...Last Tera survey if on a similar scale technically had more support than Gliscor did on this last survey.
Testing Gliscor before Ghold is like throwing bandaids at bullet wounds. Just gonna keep bleeding...
Hazards have been problematic before Gliscor and will still be problematic if it's gone.
Yeah, my bad. I'd heard a few things that made me assume it was known. Just checked and given what info is out there I'd retract statements on lack of action. Some companies can push winter into Jan as well. I don't assume that for this but yeah...I thought the date was more concrete.
Majority of the playerbase also wants action on Tera :)
But to be more serious I'd generally agree in a vacuum but it's not like you should never consider external factors.You wouldn't be saying this if it was 1 week before a new game or dlc release. So what difference does 2-3 make?
Agreed...
I'm sure you get how it feels like a waste of time though. It's not like the release date is unknown or far out. Suspects generally take quite a bit of time and how much impact would you expect this to even have? A better metagame for 2-3 weeks, maybe?
