NOTE: I do not intend to call CTers pieces of sh-t, but I have little respect for them. I tried to make this a nonbiased post, but as with all opinions, it is inherrantly biased. I have an open mind, and will take the time to read any and all messages on this subject, even the flames.
Today as I was working on my hitmonlee analysis, I watched yet another sh-tstorm about CTing erupt. And this is not the first time, nor was this an uncommon occurrence. Counterteaming, in case you don’t know, is where you make a team/mon just to counter a single person. Some say it is a legitimate strategy, and I won’t disagree with them. Yes, cting is a legitimate method to gain elo, as many way. Consider 1v1 veterans, who have spent countless hours honing their predictions, painstakingly perfecting their sets. And yes, people like that exist. Imagine you take hours to perfect a team, to EV it, to playtest it. It is your masterpiece, your proudest creation. But one day, a person decides to ct you, to create a set devoted to beating your team and only your team. Imagine that, for one second. Counterteaming crushes your spirit, there’s no question about it. It’s not a question about strategy, but a question about being a decent human being. If I beat you very many times, and I’m not in a hurry (my ign is God Of Hitmonlee), I will give you advice on how to beat me if you ask. Most good players will answer your questions if you ask. We’re human too; we won’t laugh at you. Just don’t, for the love of god, CT. You can reach me at my discord Chronecke#9736, or pm me at my smogon account to discuss. Please, contact me and tell me your opinion about cting and whether it is good or bad.
