I apologize for my thoughtless post before. In recompense, I have typed up a philosophical treatise on the impact of T-Spike in this new meta:

revert rocks change expeditiously

I have to agree with Monai and everyone else who's been complaining about it. Please give us SR back, this is the worst Gen5 Rands I've ever experienced (and we all know this tier has plenty of issues), and the elephant in the room is that Sleep hasn't been banned yet.

Had some games before this WCOR started, knew this was gonna be like gen3... just to see the reality in my face... Gen4 without rocks is actually worse than gen3, at least gen3 had some time to develop and its very noticeable besides its limitation due to the lack of movepools, but RN Gen4 feels always this is a MU battle, u roll the best mons and show less mons and u win otherwise u just pray u don't get misses and crits in the worst moment or ur oppo saved a pokemon that fully counters u and u lose without rocks there's no way to even try doing chip damage or at least to bring some control. Btw Spikes +Tspikes just make the superiority of flying type so high and i'm surprised people see this as normal it used to be a strong type before the rocks ban but now without rocks they are ridiculously op, let alone flying bug-types became level 100 again after the "balance" yeah they used to hit hard but like they now just can spam attacks with a huge power hitting them is not a good option they are very bulky, get access to U-turn and/or if they get into the 30% health they can now be 50% stronger (take in notes rock attack sucks, rock slide is 75 lame power base and Stone edge is 80% accuraccy, both unreliable at their own way, even if they land, ur opponent is not gonna risk and will switch). I'll not mention how broken is Shedinja for the sake of not making my post a joke about how obvious outcome this was but I'll mention how Toxic+Protect sets have made this gen less appealing to play there have been a lot of posts about how annoying this was to deal in gen3, but now is brought to gen4 for more sets in mons for some reason and yeah it is really broken if u don't have anything to deal with let alone.
No rocks also made some of the Nasty Plot+Swords dance users more broken since they can just fish a bad turn and just spam attacks after one boost, while u barely have anything at best u can try attacking but ur mons will eventually succumb to lead into a Snowball defeat.
