Nothing... and I mean NOTHING pisses me off more during competitive battles than "strategies" falling under the umbrella of: stalling and wasting time of the opponent
That means: spamming Toxic, Will-o-Wisp, and Protect, constantly switching in and out, using moves like Roar or Whirlwind... Those strategies- I can't even call them strategies - that's just being annoying. Of course, if only 1 or 2 Pokemon have those, no problem. But if ENTIRE TEAM is built around those strats... then I cannot even name it a strategy - that is being a dick. Especially when you laugh and taunt your opponent on chat
If you're using such strats all the time, then that means you cannot face create true team to fight like equals against others. And if you keep laughing and salting others, then you only support my theory.
The only loss of my new team come because of Toxic-Protect stall with entry hazard (which are rare in Doubles outside of Sticky Web which benefits me more), Roar and Whirlwind to prevent Trick Room and some Taunt, Torment or Encore.
That guy... girl... whatever, had SO MUCH LUCK that they were able to Double-Protect almost every single time, and I think there even was a Triple-Protect which... isn't impossible, there's, like, 1 in 27 chance to do so. But I'm still salty - just like another battle which ENTIRE team was around Perish Trap; which I've barely won... Jesus Christ...
Currently my new team has 8-1 record (first 6 won), and my Trick Room team overall has 29-6 record (which is 82,8% win rate)

No shit. I like competitive... as long as both teams have the chance to win.
I'm not some kind of mastermind like Wolfe Glick or Se Jun Park, so I may be defeated by non-superniche teams.
But that kind of teams wall not only me, but others as well, giving them no chance to do anything or limiting so badly they might as well surrender. Plus there's the factor of RNG, so~...
RNG of status conditions and flinching, not damage factor.
