I basically have 2 things to say here:
1: What´s up with the new tiering system? Claiming that it won´t cut off the community is just soft talk and we all know that that is not the case. I´m sure they will put our opinions into their judging, but they need to look at the tier from an objective perspective, and with all respect, that is impossible, since it´s simply a human nature that people favor their own tastes above others. There are many good players here that have an equally knowledge of the metagame, or even better, then the mods here. People should NOT be cut out of this and the voting system was way better imo.
2: Banning Deo-s sucks. Smogon has been quite ban-happy lately, but the point is that using Dual Screens Deoxys was quite a good way to fight against sun or rain teams, since it nullifies their damage boosts. Banning Deo-s will make the metagame more boring then it already is, since weather teams are now the only viable option of standing a chance against other weather teams. If we keep banning like this, we also get to ban things like Terrakion. Excadrill could check Terrakion, Garchomp was a threat to it, Thundurus could switch into CC and KO it with a Focus Blast, etc. The only thing that is not 2HKO´d if it is at +2 is Quagsire.
Please do not ban Deoxys-s.
