Smogon is considering completely banning Baton Pass from OU.

They dont want to ban stall, they want to nerf it

Its not about being unfun to play against, its about it becoming too good/consistent whatever the word u wanna put here. For stall (and bp too) compared to every single playstyle, theyre the most consistent and the better playstyles to use compared to any other playstyle right now its unfair, i thought every playstyle must be balanced and rn i dont think it is (bp and stall rn overshadows the other playstyles rn so whats wrong with trying to balance them)

and fun fact: none of both of them had any mon bans, offensive mons are being banned all the time but whenever people even mention banning/nerfing stall or bp people just go full on triggered i dont get it .

Dont give that "smogon doesnt like stall and and bp so they ban it" argument too since if you havent noticed 1) 99% of all suspects are towards offensive mons 2) they literally havent done anything to nerf stall at all (yet) if they really didnt like it, shouldnt have there been more suspects or quickbans of stall mons? 3)if HO for example was as successful and consistent as stall rn, the council will without second thought just instantly suspect the troublesome mons, but since its stall and bp people everything becomes sensitive all of a sudden

And i dont think he wanted to insult the users, he just wanted to call out on both the playerbase and the council on this bp and stall issue that nobody wants to take action against. and if u think hes lying, fine then just go on any suspect ladder and count for urself how many stalls and bp u find, it really is an issue that needs action to be taken on sometime soon.
