TL/DR but the point has been proven
Just read the last portion, the rest is just standard xJownage rant.
jownage with all due respect, you cant go around saying these things right after you post this very thing your telling people not to do. "We can't go around talking down to people who aren't very good" what would you call this entire post you just created. sure this guy is obviously not a bad player given hes #9 on the ladder, but regardless you shouldn't be insulting him, even if he was a complete dick to everyone, that doesn't suddenly make insulting him justifiable. i agree with you that we should be acting more mature on how we treat the newcomers. but at the same time, that doesn't give us the right to just attack someone who's riding their high horse, or at least not so violently like we are all doing. i'm just saying, don't tell people to be mature while you are losing your cool in that very same post. at least try to look more sophisticated. i know i'm probably not the best person to be telling you this, being that I've fallen down this very path you talked about, but at the same time that probably makes me the best choice for saying this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
now lets just drop this subject and get back to inheritance.
There is a huge difference between talking down inexperienced players and attacking a player who does this. The reason I decide to intervene is because he is cocky and condescending, and is putting out a bad message. I'm not putting out a bad message by attempting to put out a fire (with fire), but rather I am trying to save somebody the opportunity to get involved in this community if they run into a better version of that player. We should be more mature to the newcomers, but at the same time, when ones of us don't adhere to that, we have to change that attitude. Then said player goes out an insults a well known and widely respected inheritance player (
Jernmax). Do you not believe that my attack is justified because he attacks somebody in our community?
I never judge points based on the validity of the person presenting the argument, i.e. I don't discount what you say about rants because you rant a lot. I think that many times hypocrisy is just an excuse for people to refuse to listen to arguments they don't like. In my opinion, hypocrisy is poor rhetoric in many cases.
Offensive spinner coming through!!!
Terrakion @ Life orb
Ability: Reckless
Evs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Jolly Nature
- Rapid spin
- High Jump Kick
- Stone edge
- Knock off
Inheriting from Hitmonlee, this is the 9,0000000000th terrakion set that is viable. After using it I have fallen in love, friends. Besides being a great option for a spinner besides greninja, this thing packs a big punch, and knock off surprises many ghosts that try to switch in. Don't believe in its power?
252 Atk Life Orb Reckless Terrakion High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 216-255 (53.4 - 63.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
-1 252 Atk Life Orb Reckless Terrakion High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Regirock: 190-226 (52.1 - 62%) -- 96.9% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Fuck typical physical walls; this thing's coverage and strength plows right through many of these walls. Finally, a spinner that doesn't waste a teamslot and isn't named greninja. Stone edge and knock off provide a secondary stab and coverage, knock off being amazing for terrakion in general as its stabs are begging for dark coverage.
