Hey, I don't appreciate the blatant Syclant reference.
LOL sorry about that, but in order to look like mocking it actually has to have a past instance of occurrence.
Besides, Syclant's 555 spread was decided among 5 submitted entries and only after a BST was derived. Morevover, none of the stat totals were really that broken all things considered. I mean, it was basically a Lucario with more speed and lesser offensive stats for the most part, and a cruddy defensive typing.
Giving a Ghost/Steel pokemon 555 Base stats is heavily moronic. Remember my bulky Syclant spread with the 101 HP Sub ability and moderate defenses (balanced by a sub-Starmie speed and mediocre attack, since I focused more on SA?) A Bulky Spread on a Ghost/Steel (which WILL come up) is much more likely to draw in votes than an all-out offensive spread.
I suppose one way to circumvent this is to have us choose from say, 5 specific stat totals to work from within a 25 point range, rather than the last topic where we chose in ranges of 20.
Or we could have two polls on the matter, one for a "tier" for lack of a better word with parenthetical ranges of 25 (ex: OU 500-525, UU 470-495, NU 440-465).
In other words we'd have to set limits to avoid brokenness, like no Legendary level pokemon (BST 600) and things like that. Otherwise there's pretty much no way to avoid people choosing the most competitive option available.
