Oh.

Agh, now I'm envisioning what they'd look like with their wings broken, tail cut off, and what carves I'd get.

... And how the armor'd look. Thanks a lot.

Not that this matters to many, but Latias has been banned to the Uber tier. Smogon front page, though I can't confirm WHY.

Salamence seems likely to follow, as Smogonites are currently playtesting the metagame without him to see if it's more balanced. Discussion is currently ocurring in this thread.

I gotta say, I am a little disappointed. Latias was one of the few legendaries that was OU worthy that I could still use, though I didn't use it often. Though now that it's banned, a couple of the things it countered (like Breloom, for example) are now TOTALLY viable in OU. A few other things are also enjoying some much needed usage now that Salamence has been removed from the suspect ladder, though I'll be irritated if it DOES get the banhammer, as a few friends of mine play Smogon rules, and unless I asked for Ubers, Golondrina would not get any usage whatsoever.

EDIT: apparently without Latias or Salamence, everyone's putting together stall teams. While I do enjoy stall teams, especially Hail stall, I can't say I'd enjoy having to constantly break through everyone in every match.

Man, I still play Shoddy every now and then (An hour or two once or twice a week), and I gotta admit Latias didn't seem THAT bad (I hate Jirachi FAR more because parahax feels like you lost because your opponent got lucky, not because he outsmarted you). CM Latias is certainly tough to break without a good Dark type (Something OU really lacks outside Tyranitar, and which Latias is ready for most times), but UGH MORE HAIL STALL. Hail stall has been getting more common BEFORE this ban, I don't even want to look at Smogon right now T.T

Oh no, it's not hail stall that's seeing a comeback. It's regular stall and sandstall.

Every time I see 'tier' referring to characters in a video game I die a little more on the inside.

Whenever there are things that are not identical, there will be people who ponder just what the differences between those things mean in terms of usefulness. These people will invariably figure out just which of these things is better than the other things, and will rank them accordingly.

I don't see much point in complaining about it.

Mike McC · 06-02-2010, 04:21 AM

You oversimplify it.

The truth of why it's done only makes for infinite sadness, a never ending horror of futility and desperation.

He's saying they need to marinate the nether rod in the squish mitten.

When characters you like for whatever reasons are banned by the interwebs as a whole, it kinda becomes a sore spot.

I understand the competitive mindset, but being told you can't use your favorite characters is still annoying.

Splash attack the Cubone into the Cloyster, IMO.
