I could also agree with Jellicents ideas more if every tier used the exact same philosophy towards banning, but that is not the case. Using UU as an example again, Shadow Tag was banned even though it might not have been broken on every user (Wynaut and Gothita in particular, Gothorita potentially), so lower tiers do not get the chance to see if these Pokemon are viable, purely because a different tier has a different opinion and philosophy on Shadow Tag. The same can be applied to things such as the Baton Pass clause, which as it currently is. limits NU and removes some viable competitive strategies such as drypassing cores that aren't as common in higher tiers, the collateral damage is there and the only real benefit the change brings is the removal of smashpass (which isnt really broken or anything just annoying to face)
