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.
I’m not sure why you did all that counting when my point was just that people enjoy overpowered things (Tera, Ubers, etc.) and that doesn’t stop them being overpowered lol.
If there really is no hope for future action on Tera then there simply isn’t hope for the future of the tier lmao.
Having this massive, centralising and unbalanced mechanic running rampant until Gen X is just-
lmaooooooooo
Ignoring the irony of blocking the suspecting of the clearly broken and uncompetitive game mechanic because there’s not enough community support, only to waste time suspecting the most supported suspects and they end up not getting banned anyway;
The scramble to find the Next Bad Thing (or even...
The survey results on Tera are so beyond disappointing I’m not sure what to even say.

If we aren’t going to address Tera again and insist on testing everything wrong one by one, is the kokoloko method still on the table at least?
It might not have been worth doing when first brought up, but now??
Surely it has more merit in this mess of a current meta.
The fact that Tera not getting banned singlehandedly derailed this entire generation but we keep trying to plug the leaks and banning individual Pokémon instead of revisiting it has probably been the worst decision we’ve made since release tbh.
