Okay so for your points:Hello Everyone, i don't know if this is the best place to say this, and if this is the wrong place please tell me ( since it's my first time commenting here )
me ( who am a casual player who likes a lot the metagame and i try to understand and adapt the metas since gen 6 ) personally i think the real problems that needs to be adressed in the tier rn are:
- abuse of Booster Energy
- hazard stacking with Gholdengo ( who is not a problem for me since i use Mandibuzz with defog :P. )
- pokemons who for some reason are not banned and needs some tiering action ( Kingambit (which is a must rn) , Gourging fire , Deoxys-S , serperior and Enamorus )
- Terastalization
i think the council is doing a good job rn trying to balance the metagame, but these problems i mentioned are the things that is making the metagame being chaotic. ( at least is what i think =/ )
i want to see you guys opinion on this. :)
1. Booster Energy: Isn't really a problem as two booster mons would be Ubers even without it, while the only problematic mon with booster is Moon. Every other booster mon is either bad even with it or alright with it. Treads is alright, Boulder can be threatening but is also alright and valiant is a great mon for speed control, which is due to booster.
2. Hazard stack: Is a problem but can be dealt with later when other mons go. Hazard removal has been optimized quite a lot, and stuff like treads and tusk are super splashable. Can see why you think it is, but something that is on the back burner rn.
3. Kingambit: Yeah, it kinda is a problem but not high priority. Still doing the same shit now, but other mons are higher priority.
4. Gouging Fire: That one is being considered for a suspect, though I am adamant on whether it is a problem. So people will most likely agree with you on that.
5. Deoxys-S: Not a problem. Sure, it is fast, but it has lackluster bulk and power. If it wasn't speedy, it would be not good. It is a great lead, but the offensive sets are alright I guess? You give up so much utility to use them and you get medium reward.
6. Serperior: Great mon, but not banworthy. It's speed tier is great, but is still outsped by common mons. It can cheese its way through counters, but that relies on hax and that is simply not reliable. Tera blast sets are worse off than subseed+glare as they are almost always walled by something hard.
7. Enamorus: Not a problem somewhat and I could even see it dropping to UU. It is powerful, but it has to rely on stellar tera to boost up, which is very constricting. It's speed tier is great, but is still too slow for the tier rn.
8. Tera: Again, backburner problem. Didn't get too much support last survey, but we will see if it gets more support. Like ghold, it is something we look at after the more problematic mons go. (And to the people reading this, for the love of god, DO NOT TRY TO SAY "Oh, but tera has 25% who want action on it. I do not care, do not start that arguement, we know how it turned out last time.)
Overall, I'm happy that you think the council is doing a great job and are being nice about it, many more casuals have been rude about it and think they are 100% right. Disagree with most of your opinions, but you were nice about it so I don't have anything to complain about with them. :)
