The idea behind a lot of their bans is to minimize the impacts of luck and 50/50's, and to try and avoid the possibility of losing at team preview. Basically, to make it so the best player wins as often as possible.
On the ladder, losing because of bad confusion RNG is no big deal, because as long as you win more than you lose, you'll keep climbing up the ladder.
But you need to understand that tournament players hold a ton of sway in the Smogon community, and one unlucky loss can mean losing an entire tournament.
This is also why they have such a strong stall preference. Not only does stall focus on playing safe and trying to not lose more than trying to win, but longer matches reward consistently good play rather than one turn completely turning the match around with no input from the players.

They banned it in gen 6 because it was still a 50/50 to hit yourself when confused. Paired with Klefki's Twave spam, prankster ability, and Foul Play, it was nuts.

Just use Numel, stupid fucking smoggie.
Immune to Thunder Wave, immune to Swagger, and both of its STABs are strong against Klefki.
Gamefreak practically SPOONFED those dumb smogshits a counter and they still couldn't adapt.

Dumb zardfag just run Defog and petition GF to bring back Megas.
>Numel
Numel. Yeah nice 40/45 base defenses and 4x Water weakness. It would also have to run Z-Fire to do any damage at all and it would useless against the other 5 mons on the team. It's the same shit as "lol run Sash Vaporeon as a Dracovish counter".

>try and avoid the possibility of losing at team preview
They've already lost at team preview when they roll up with the same team as everyone else.

If you and your opponent are using the same copypasta team of the same pokemon nobody really loses that hard in preview though.

No one includes themselves or means literally everyone when they say everyone. Autist

cos it rhymes with a particular word they dislike

I HATE THE STEALTH ROCK

CANT RUN CHARIZARD

Smogon sucks. It's what happens when you ban you try to ban luck. Luck is a stat, and if you don't agree, you just suck at luck

Why doesn't Smogon just ban everything under 100% accuracy? Faggots

>evasion
Aaahahahahaha
