Gotta be a ladder pro champ because there's no way we suggesting niche mons like Raging Bolt for a ban. Can't be. I'm proud of you for standing your ground, though.

Just a random guy brotha. There ain't much I can say, or do (づ￣ ³￣)づ
(i want to clarify this isn't specifically targeted at you kenpwnchi, just the general sentiment that can be read from that ive heard- i realized after writing it might seem really petty otherwise)
I'm not sure if this is the right mindset to have here. I'm generally more conservative with bans by default (I initially was planning on do not ban for the suspect) and use these threads to find any blindspots I may have cuz im not always "up to date" on what people are saying- and it frustrated me a bit to see the thread derailed. (I was planning on posting and decided not to lol)
Why valorize "standing your ground?" though, like it's some moral conviction to keep flutter around (or not). I am 100% in favor of ppl bringing smth new to the table- raging bolt is quite good and while I dont think its a problem, There could be an argument to make about it being too good post deo ban (which i would at the very least, be interested in reading). I can't speak for everyone ofc but I just want to enjoy playin mons lol.
And since flutter's ban, Ive certainly enjoyed it more. Deo-a is still insane but it's easier to deal with in the builder now at least, I want it gone but I get waiting to see how psyspam adapts before a suspect.
Im not convinced any of the dragons are broken -yet- Archa is v good but limited to rain. I think it would be completely fine without tera- (still in favor of tera suspect/open tera). regidrago seems v strong but its speed is kinda mid so feels much more exploitable. I was a bit worried about kommo taking over but seems fine rn, might change if deo's banned.
