They also said that about blaze, then before that slowking, and so on.
Jeremy pssh lame excuse for a pokemon player.
LBS is bad because
1) LBS is not consistent.
Anytime one of you freaking gambling addicts T1's a Pidgeot on me I cringe. It makes me sick when someone T1's a Pidgeot. Not only is it ridiculously improbable, but if you DON'T get it immediately, you're simply going to lose both quickly & decisively if your opponent is anything above retarded.
2) LBS gets raped by Roselia.
I don't care how many Switch you freaking gambling addicts run, either someone's sticking a Frontier or Solrock on you and your Blastoise is coming up. If you KO it, Mewtric and Luna/Sol can do it again.
3) LBS loses to Rock Lock.
Some of you freaks think LBS beats Rock Lock. 90% of players are bad at this game.
4) LBS loses to Luna/Sol.
I can't stand when people try to TECH against Luna/Sol. Your deck is too inconsistent to add 1/1 Crawdaunt ex. You freaking gambling addicts make me sick!
5) LBS loses to Mewtric.
Roselia sways the match in favor of Mewtric. Again, your best option: Hope they're bad and don't know when and when not to Disconnect you. Sadly, this usually works.
6) LBS loses to Mew Lock.
Yes, I'm afraid it does. As for beating it in swiss, I don't even think that works anymore, because if you take a turn longer than 5 seconds, some random judge who hasn't even played the game in his life will immediately issue you a prize penalty and a 15 minute time extension.
7) LBS Mirror = teh lame
The LBS Mirror is the most retarded game to ever watch. The first Mudslide is not only almost ALWAYS the win, but completely luck-oriented into who pulls it off first. Not all mirrors are skill-oriented, but having a luck-oriented mirror is not a bonus.
8) LBS is one card short of a win constantly.
Against decks like Dragtrode & Nidoqueen you will constantly be one card away from an effective turn. Because of Desert Ruins, your Quick Search will often have to be on the crucial stadium, or the Holon's Castform/Magneton.
9) LBS was lucky at Nats.
