Yeah, I realised this while typing but just wanted to finish the post lmao aha. But yeah, I love Gastro a hell of a tonne, but passiveness blah blah mMaw is broken
1) "Well look, you did the calcs based on a standard mega mawile. That's cool" Was there a follow-up to this or was that just a closed point?
2) The poll is the only reason why you needed a thread made, but fair enough
3) I'd love to know these 5 people that voted against the ban. My guess is the Steel-gym leader and another 3 salty people
4) Not really, and for a number of reasons:
- First and foremost, we have no idea who said no as that's how you set up the poll. However, I can almost guarantee the people that said Yes: Me, Martin, Cj, Eric and probably Bruh. The issue with this is that whilst we know the people that said yes are competent players (they're in the tiering council, that kinda proves its own point), we have no idea who said no and if we should take their opinions completely at face value.
- Whilst I agree that community should have input, that is primarily for suspect testing. If the council calls a vote and EVERYONE (and I literally mean everyone) votes to ban it, then as the 9 top players of the site are calling to ban it then it's clear that it's broken in the meta
- I direct you to @Marigi174 's thread which calls people to stop basing tiering decisions on gyms - end of.
