Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I have known him since the days when doubles room was ruled by mighty Soap Sand.
His "eZ" became sorf of a meme in the room and that is an accomplishment that speaks for itself.
It really makes me sad that I didn't have time to get him know better.

I agree, but on the other hand small portion of each mega's / nonmega's threat level is slightly influenced by surprise factor (for example holding Sash instead of megastone or having multiple mega options like Charizard).
Diancie for A+
Aegislash for A+
Aegis is a strong check for all popular megas. Metagross has to run coverage move like earthquake, Kangaskhan can hit it only with sucker punch and Diancie's Earth power is 2HKO (more than 48 SPA required). With smaller Sun usage (thanks to Diancie), it is...

That's pretty much what I wanted to say in my previous posts but worded differently.
Wasn't this exactly the case of mega kang in XY? Every single team in the beginning of XY had Terrak. Also Kang used to run many crazy unpredictable sets, which gradually developed into few sets that became...
nobody cares about your teams tbh. also i said "In meta with mega sala, you gotta play mindgames which team to bring - the one that can handle mega kang or mega sala...(or jack of all trades, master of none team)?"... I really dont know whats unclear here... by jack of all trades master of none...
The more centralizing mons there are, the less centralized whole meta is. Imagine you are up against someone in a tourney. In meta with mega sala, you gotta play mindgames which team to bring - the one that can handle mega kang or mega sala...(or jack of all trades, master of none team)? In meta...
Individual power isn't the only thing to consider when banning something. You also have to look at it from teambuilder's perspective. In my post i just wanted to say that Mega Sala isn't an autoinclude in almost every team - if it was, then it would be banworthy.
Alright time to post my opinion on this.
Let's compare mega mence and kang:
1. Both are weak to physical debuffs (intimidate, WoW).
2. They have similar typing in a sense, that you have to carry fighting or ice/fairy type to counter them. If you don't, then you are not very likely to OHKO...
