^ Bingo. I'm still in the middle as far as banning goes (I said I was leaning towards a ban, but I'm still mostly undecided). You pointed out the biggest flaw I see in this metagame. I find it hard to take people seriously because I cannot interpret whether people truly want it gone or if they want one less threat for their teams to deal with. Every ORAS suspect has been banned so far...I mean, that's just one, but lately the whole metagame has made out not only Mega Metagross, but also Sableye and Diancie to be these absolute monsters, and some people word it like they're unbeatable or like they have zero flaws, when they do have flaws. And I've honestly found it mostly unpleasant to play the meta these days due to these exaggerated claims. Dislike this post all you guys want for my honesty, but I really kinda needed to get that out.
I don't think Mega Metagross restricts teambuilding either. There have been a few valid arguments here and there. I'm not even a mod and I see quite a few posts that are - wait for it - biased. People voting no ban? I bet some of them have Meta on their teams and don't want to lose him. Biased. I mean, on the other hand there are, again, a few valid arguments both ways, such as that Mega Meta is suspectible to burns, intimidate after mega evolving, and pursuit, but every Pokemon is. You can't call Metagross out because it's affected by burns. That'd be like calling for something like Mega Lucario to drop because it can be burned.
