>>52084571>Defenders- Hard to kill, generally have displacing abilities but might be more damage oriented>All-Rounders- As the name suggests, kind of a mix of a bunch of different things. Usually though the major things that define All-Rounders is that they are close ranged with some survivabilityThis is 100% inaccurate.
All rounders have the most sustain and are the hardest to kill in this game while also being able to deal a shit tone of damages.
Defenders are so bad and weak that Timi needs to either rework the entire role or nerf damage across the board for every mon but they won't do it (look at the patch history of defenders stats slowly being increased but it does not fix their issues).
What is really messed up is how despite defenders main job is to defend and not do insane damage, most defenders have little to no sustain & for those that do it is a joke compared to all rounders sustain & the damage they can do that melts through defenders bulk.
Barely any type of shields exist in Defenders abilities/moves while all-rounders gets everything defenders needs + the damage.
Now out of the 4 upcoming mons are none are defenders and Urshifu already has good bulk/sustain with its high damage.
All-rounders are just better defenders at this point, the only 2 who are exceptionable are Greedent/Mamo & it is only because Greedent is Greedent and Mamo players put in good work.
