Making custom changes to the game to balance an ability that shouldn't have been introduced in the first place is simply unacceptable.
What's more stupid is the logic behind this, so if the pokemon drops to UU it should be buffed to remain at OU? what the fuck.

Ye Gallade 1.4 don't make sense plz push it back to 1.5 tyyy

Lifestyle will be leaving TC, we greatly appreciate the work and time he put into the position and wish him well..
 
Lumiere and Axelgor are our two new members, welcome to the team.
This was a very hard decision as we had a lot of really good applicants and applications this time around, but if you didn't get chosen don't be discouraged.  Keep participating in discussions & the competitive scene and you may get picked next time.

1) You are overhyping Milotic. Yes its an amazing tank but its not going to be game breaking like you are describing it.
2) Why are you calcing WIld Charge Eelektross when its main set is Spatk variant?  
252+ SpA Eelektross Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Milotic: 120-144 (59.4 - 71.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
4 SpA Milotic Scald vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Gear Eelektross: 37-45 (19.2 - 23.4%) -- possible 5HKO
3) Stop
 

Okay, just to make things clear, because I don't like talking and ranting a lot, I'll try to be as clear and polite as possible, because I know some will try to pinpoint the mistakes in what I say rather than understanding my objective. The current meta in all tiers we have is at its worst since Sinnoh was introduced.
 
Sadly, instead of fixing our current issues, additional problems arise with every big update, whether we are ready for Legendaries or not, or if some Mons' hidden abilities released were justified or not. OU is a catastrophe; you only have 6 possible Mons to choose from out of 47. You are supposed to Wallbreak and Sweep the following: Weezing, Skarm, Gastro, Chansey, Sableye, Gliscor, and Amoonguss, and be ready for Serp, Volc, Dragonite, Breloom, Starmie, Scizor, Hydreigon, Conk, Mamoswine, Togekiss, and have answers for rain so you don't instantly lose to Kabutops or Kingdra. On top of that, the addition of Suicune and Raikou, and potentially Magic Guard Alakazam coming in next as well. The meta of OU is matchup fishing; balance is nonexistent, and it is extremely difficult to build a solid 3 by 3 team that can cover all of that, on top of the PP nerf. It should stop where it is.
There are a few things I would like to highlight so it's clear to everyone, which I still do not understand to this day:
 
Why do we get Gen 8/Gen 9 move pool/ability updates when we are still in Gen 5?
Why aren't some Hidden Abilities studied thoroughly from a PVP perspective before release?
Is the objective to be different, or is the ship steered in an unspecified direction?
When Legendaries/Meta-Effecting Items like Assault Gear/Heavy Duty Boots get released, does the order come from the devs or TC?
 
 
As an MMO community, TC, and Devs, we need to look at what's healthy for most game players and be proactive in preventing things from happening before unnecessary headaches occur. Let's look back at Gallade.

Totally agree with this, it's sad that nowadays a match is decided like 80% by matchup and not skill.

It's unbelievable how the game has deteriorated after the introduction of hidden abilities. There's no stability whatsoever, and with every event, we get more hidden abilities and Pokémon that disrupt the game further. Teambuilding has never been more challenging. This game is becoming more frustrating.
You just can't convince me that it's possible to build a team in OU with six Pokémon that can handle rain, hyper offense, Suicune, Raikou, Serperior, and stall. The meta is all about match-up fishing.
 
Furthermore, those in control, and I don't need to name them, will jump at any opportunity to introduce Pokémon like Magic Guard Alakazam with Nasty Plot, which have no real counters. In Generation 5, Nasty Plot was removed, and it's frustrating to see it return here.

Take what you will from this. The way the Tier Council manages things makes their existence almost invisible. But since everyone is in their comfort zone, no one is willing to speak up because they will get silenced

Medi is just the new blaziken. Still gotta predict right vs it and gotta hope it's one set and not the other. I doubt it'll be broken when we test it

An item that doubles EVs given to all members of the party or only those that gain EXP, training link only works for 1 mon and you also don't receive exp points

This favors my team, so I am going to say it now so that I don't sound biaised later. A random bracket is more fair. Also, SLSY and Optic are tied, so there is no reason for one to be favored next to the other.
