    Friendly reminder to give UU Iron Treads again s'il vous plait merci :) In all seriousness, since Arch left and rain has become a lot less common, has Iron Treads been seeing any use? I haven't played OU for a bit, so I don't actually know its status.

    A large point that I know Finch has been stating is that we can’t truly predict what will happen after a ban in the tier, so there’s not much point in doing so. Instead, it may be better to take a pause after a ban to see what happens. In regards to weather, it’s true that sun will likely become...

    I haven't seen anyone respond to this, so even though it was a few pages back, I do want to bring it back up because, at the end of December, I asked Finch this during his Office Hours. The following is his response: Hopefully this response can be brought back up if anyone else has a similar...

    I literally laid out why your post was bait. At this point you’re arguing in bad faith and not willing to hear me out, so I will not be continuing the conversation if you reply. I hope you’re having a good day and have fun in the community. Best of luck

    Reread my first reply, I explained it there why your question came off as antagonistic. I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings, but disregarding an argument that you disagree with EVEN THOUGH it is clearly outlined in tiering policy as a goal of the Smogon “institution” is being counterproductive to...

    You’re the one trying to vilify people arguing for cart accuracy, and as one of those people, I don’t appreciate it

    If you kept reading, you would’ve seen that I did answer it. As for your point about knowing how much you did affecting decisions, it’s kind of irrelevant for 2 reasons: 1. Everything is a role. If you do 50% one turn, you can do 48% the next and they can live. If you gauges your damage range...

    This is a trap question designed to invalidate the opinion of anyone who answers it in your eyes: either we commit all the way for the sake of cart accuracy and agree to get rid of a QoL change that people would be upset about removing, turning public opinion against us, or we pick and choose...

    Because, frankly, if sleep mod could be replicated on cart, I would actively be working to keep it on PS. I think it does a pretty good job maintaining sleep balance. However, because it is different, my buddies that I do play cart with have to make rules for balancing. Some of my friends prefer...

    I do want to respond to you as a "cart purist." In my mind, the reason this is bad is because, fundamentally, we are playing Pokemon. And, at the end of the day, we don't make the rules of Pokemon. Sure, we can decide that we will play a singles match with up to 6 Pokemon, but we can't decide to...

    Writing as a cart purist, I absolutely agree that sleep needs to change. It is tiering policy that we strive to make the game as accurate to cart as possible. Therefore, if anyone is dismissing the "cart accuracy" argument, I interpret their thoughts as wanting to change tiering policy, which is...

    My goodness. The :Ninetales: disrespect is so real. Is it really that bad? Is Sun without Torkoal that bad here in RU?

    Love to see it. Thank you for proving me wrong. Also, good write up for RMT.

    Maybe, but it's so much easier with a mon like Gouging Fire. I understand and appreciate that you want to win with a Pokemon that you like, and I hope you keep that mentality. If you'll have more fun playing at low ladder with a mon like Incineroar than Gouging Fire, all the power to you...

    Right, but trick is still a problem for Incin Right, but then you're still dealing with a +1SpD and +1Spe Volc who can continue setting up safely and probably wouldn't have had to tera to deal with Incin, so the other player isn't punished in anyway Deo-s has pretty thin defenses, this is...
