To be fair, I am not bad with Aegislash, I think I do what the Pokémon is capable off during this terrible meta. Aegislash is one of my favorite Pokémon so obviously I love playing him.

Today I decided to just play a match in masters, I think the match was pretty much doing okay until I guess I died in a team fight. Someone said. “Holy shit why did you pick Aegislash? Stop playing shit Pokémon , now look at what you did?”. I don’t use voice chat so I was like “What the fuck do you mean?” Behind my screen. We ended up losing because everyone died at Rayquaza and at the end he said “These Aegislash think they’re so cool.” I was a little offended but I let that go.

Next match there wasn’t any All-Rounder being played so I decided to go for it again. Match was going pretty decent. For some reason my lane partner saw me getting ambushed by 3 enemies and started to cuss the living fuck out of me for playing Aegislash. I was pretty confused, it was just a mistake, what did I do? “That Pokémon is ass idk why he’s playing that.” Someone replied. What the hell? Sure I do have many choices that are better than Aegislash but is he seriously that bad? Sure he deserves some buffs but…I just let that match go. We lost. Ok.

Next match I picked Aegislash out of will. And to my surprise some Pikachu started to completely go apeshit because I couldn’t save the gol as Aegislash. He was saying some pretty nasty stuff too all because I picked Aegislash. That was it, im not playing that Pokémon in competitive ever again if I have to deal with people treating me like this. When he gets some buffs I’ll pick him up again but holy shit. Is he really that bad? Is the community just toxic? I literally was doing better than some teammates during this match but I guess I’ll just be the punching bag for picking Aegislash and not Zacian, Comfey Espeon, Glaceon or whatever.

Seriously is Aegislash THAT BAD?
