Drift shouldn’t be banned because it is not completely OP that’s obvious. But when you have 2 king of LAD drivers in a deck all you need is to get the first point and just keep choosing the opposite spin of your opponent. There is no banning, just not 2 drifts in a deck. And like HakaishinLDrago don’t assume that people have no knowledge.
Why are you getting so defensive? If it doesn't apply to you then you don't have to quote me or Kaiju because both of us were replying to th!nk's post of where they said "Lastly, again we're having another discussion about banning things before we've even seen what they do. I don't get why people are like this now."
Are you also projecting with your last part? If in most cases people are ban trigger happy because they either do not have tournament experience OR do not have the part in their hand, and if they don't have the part or tournament experience then they do not have knowledge for the debate of a part ban.
I don't get it either. Like, I don't necessarily agree that tournament experience is required if you know the parts well enough to be able to objectively test them (preferably with a friend, but with enough knowledge it's not required. Sadly I have been chewed out a ton when people were trying to ban a part I could beat really easily at home because of this "you haven't been to a tournament" logic, and it is rather toxic to assume people don't know anything if they've never had the opportunity to go). There is definitely something in saying "I struggle to beat this, is anyone else having trouble too?", and I won't deny them their input... but at least make sure you know the part thoroughly before you open your mouth. "It's used too much" or "It's too spammable" are not reasons to ban anything, and instead of trying to ban that part people should be looking for other ways to beat it instead. Don't just grumble, th!nk people!
Either way I feel like Rogue's overhyping "maximum LAD" way too much, and that's part of the big issue here. When you get LAD this high you reach a point where part variation, balance tuning, late game contact angles, and other factors often make it not as clear-cut as "this driver will win 100%". Drift has a 40-45% winrate based on launches against my blue Wolborg Bearing, and I've won many rounds using it at the tournament level against both same-spin and opposite-spin threats. I've seen another person get a positive (over 50%) winrate against Drift in opposite spin with a somewhat worn (but still legal) Mobius. I'm not even sure there is ever a true "Max LAD" right now, because some things will out-LAD others that supposedly more, so realistically any of the top LAD options are equal in it. Some of them are just slightly better or worse against another top LAD options is all.
