Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
You can't counter Baton Pass. That's the difference. In MOBA games *cough* LoL *cough* you know what your enemy will pick. In Pokemon, you can't change your team when you see your opponent. If you run a BP countering team, you will get destroyed by non-BP. Do you really struggle to understand that?
