I've always seen laddering for reqs as being proof of caring enough about a tier to go through the effort to be qualified to decide on the future of that tier. If you're not invested enough to go for reqs, you probably shouldnt be making a decision on the tier itself, because clearly the outcome...

Confirming

I've had a great time leading the tier over the last few years but my motivation to do so has been on a downward trend for a while and I don't see anything that is likely to change that on the horizon. Tiers need active and dedicated leaders, and I no longer think I can do that. entrocefalo and...

Or come up with other options that dont compromise either of the two limitations you mentioned. I'm not the most tech-savvy person to say how feasible the idea is, but an example would be Soulwind's proposal to shift the usage stats we use to tournaments instead of ladder, or to mix and match...

You might not believe her, but it is true. This is also missing some rather key factors that bot account owners who want to maliciously effect things are capable of reacting to any measures we put into place. For example, trying to hide the fact that a bot is playing the games, claiming that...

Add the negatives of each tera type for defensive Ho-oh, things like Fairy making it weaker to Zacian, Grass and Dark making it weaker to Koraidon's moves, etc. Could also throw in a comment about the Tera depending on the teammates ability to handle those respective threats too. The rest of the...

As Fc has already mentioned, I think that if we're going back to UWC, we should implement drifting's suggested change to the world cup format to more effectively mimic the actual world cup. The biggest hindrance to this is that effectively, we would be required to have a specific number of teams...
