[Obligatory Froslass post]
As many people i didn't face many Froaslass teams, however i used one myself and the argument that it puts too much pressure to anything not named Web offense is 100% true. Guaranteed two layers of Spikes against defensive or semi-defensive teams, or one layer of Spikes and one kill is too good when combined with Froslass ability to keep those hazards up as long as she is alive, allowing her teammates to apply immense offensive pressure. Doublade being a great Pokemon in RU that checks most physical sweepers, spinblocks, and can sweep too helps a lot Froslass too, making sure that outside of Defog users Spikes will stay up. And even when considering Defog users, the only great one in RU is Gligar, which can be taken advantage of easily by Braviary, or shut down by Taunt users such as Mega Banette, Cobalion, and Drapion. Of course Gligar can still find many chances to use Defog with its titanic physical bulk and can use Toxic to cripple Braviary switch-ins and not give the +2 Atk boost, but prediction goes both way and the opponent can bring in a special attacker as Gligar uses Toxic, and immediately threaten the team with strong special attacks and regain momentum.
In general, Froslass's support is too easy to provide, too effective, and too hard to shut down, as there are many great and viable ways to protect Spikes or punish the opponent for getting rid of them, such as Doublade, Mega Banette, fast Taunt users, and Braviary.
For those reasons, i will vote to ban Froslass for her broken supporting abilities.
After Froslass leaves i expect Webs offense to be much more manageable, as people will have more room to prepare for such teams without also having to prepare for Froslass. Sticky Web is great no doubt, but RU has enough good Spin and Defog users to mitigate its effect to a manageable extend, and the fact that Shuckle has zero offensive presence is a huge flaw that can easily be taken advantage of. Furthermore, most defensive Pokemon don't mind the Speed drop when facing offensive Pokemon, and offensive teams can resort to Flying Pokemon or Levitate users if they can't get rid of Sticky Web, such as Moltres, Yanmega, Braviary, and Fletchinder, all great RU Pokemon, in addition to priority, offensive pressure (to limit Shuckle to only one hazard), and Xatu. Of course Shuckle could still end up being problematic, all i am saying is that it's in no way in the same league as Froslass, who is obviously broken in my eyes.
Oh, and Fletchinder is so fun to use atm, fucks up most kinds of offensive teams big time, as long as you have a good plan to deal with Rhyperior and Water-types (Jolteon is not a problem, it gets OHKOed by +2 Acro after two SR rounds). Offensive Xatu with Psychic / Heat Wave / Grass Knot / U-turn is a decent teammate, sometimes being able to lure and weaken / KO Rhyperior and Water types, and making sure SR stays of the field as long as its needed.
