>>38275164>>I'd also change every single ability that has no purpose besides >increases damage>literally my very first post on this thread. If you want to play smart you could at least bother reading.Except most of those abilities I mentioned have other purposes besides ">damage", Gale Wings didn't add damage, Beast Boost boost speed and defenses too, Protean has defensive uses too, Stance Change too, Disguise too, Surge abilities have other uses besides boosting damage, Disguise has defensive uses besides granting a turn to SD, only -Ate abilities are a strict damage boost.
>Not a problem on official metas.Except Scald and other bullshit rng has decided plenty of matches in official metas.
>>Because we're fixing powercreep and I feel that special attackers shouldn't get a +2 boosting move because there are few methods of curbing special attacks.In not a single metagame, official or not has a Nasty Plot user been broken because of Nasty Plot, granted, Chansey/Blissey usually do kinda badly vs a few of them but most of the time NP users have a speed tier that allows for easy revenge killing. The one exception is Darkrai.
>Because smogon banned baton passing it and you clearly only know about smogon.Pic related, not a single Shell Smash user. I even tried to find BSS usage and currently Cloyster, the highest ranked Shell Smasher is ranked #61 in usage.
>boosting moves such as Dragon Dance and Swords Dance are widespread. Since you play smogon you should remember when Salamence was instabanned the instant it got outrage. Then nerf Dragon, or specifically Outrage and Draco, since they had no business having that BP with a typing only resisted by a single other type, unlike say Fighting or Flying moves.
>Blaziken>MegamenceOnly a problem due to their abilities.
> A much more probable fix to powercreep is blanket nerfs such as what I proposedThe only thing you did was move everything one inch back instead of shortening the line. Defense creep exists by the way.
