Not sure where this is coming from? Nothing in the proposal changes how the current tiers rules operates. It uses the exact same standing that all the tiers current have in both how they are tiered and what rules apply. If it is upsetting that these tiers are different in that regard, then...

Yes, ADV UU is considered an official tier. Whether or not that’s important is a different matter that is going to have a different opinion depending on who you ask. Like I stated earlier though, people can certainly alter the process if they determine being labeled official or not official is...

Just to briefly answer this: the method I used above was created in an effort to conform with the tiers' status as official or not. That's why those three mons can't drop to UU under this method, and if NU was made purely based on VR tiering I believe it also loses its "quasi-official" tier...

That's perfectly fine if it was allowed, it's not up to me though, it's up to tiering heads. I'm just here to explain it, if ultimately people are allowed to do that then that's fine by me I just don't see it happening and I don't think people who play the tier really have much of an opinion on...

I'm not saying I disagree, I'm just letting you know how it was explained to me when I asked about it. From what I understand, when they "froze" the tier, whatever year that was, that meant that whatever was OU when that tier was frozen could not ever drop to UU while still considering UU an...

It's not really up to debate, and it's not my decision. It's a usage based tier and if it's going to stay official we have to abide by the rules. Getting caught up on this would just kinda derail the whole thing if we cannot agree on at least that part. The bottom line is quite clear: it...

This is something I have been thinking about for a very long time. It took me a while (over a year) to gather my thoughts and lay out a plan for it, but I'm ready to lay it out now, so here it is: It's no secret that ADV was the worst-tiered generation when it comes to lower tiers. Smogon was...

The Final Games ended not with glory, but with grief. Silicobra Kai fell with defiance in their eyes, refusing to kneel even as the sands claimed them. Azelf on the Shelf never emerged from the Psychic Fog Arena, lost to the void, or perhaps choosing it over what lay ahead. Only two stood at the...

I agree this was my entire point - it's not broken, but you can make the unhealthy argument if you'd like. I disagree but I can understand where you're coming from.

I understand what you're saying, and I think you have every right to want to ban it because you think it's unhealthy for the metagame. I just don't think it can be considered "broken" by tiering definitions is all, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't want it banned - being unhealthy for the...

Um, no, not at all? Let's go over it in case you don't understand: These aren't necessarily completely uncompetitive because they don't take the determining factor out of the player's hands; both can use these elements and both probably have a fair chance to win. They are broken because they...
