>>54310133zard's UNITE was much stronger on the old map. New map has practically no walls so the whole flying aspect is completely RUINED. On Remoat you could basically use it to come out of nowhere or save your ass in the middle. You had a large area in the middle where you could attack safely and only be hit by ranged if necessary.
The lifesteal effect has only aged progressively worse also it has bad synergy with his passive to begin with, meaning it lowers your damage possibly if you are timing it well to maximize your damage!!!!!!!!!! WHY? A retarded dev no doubt put this effect in. Compared to most pokemon that get some huge scaling with using their UNITE like CDR, attack speed, etc, zard gets laughable unsynergistic LIFESTEAL and if he gets hit with one move he moves slower than pre UNITE as he can't use Flamethrower to increase his speed again.
Overall ZARD has fallen because of lack of care from these incompetent devs and it really shows at this point... This has been helpful notes I will remember to show a shit dev.
I still think he's good and I'm feeling good with his winrate for this week, enjoy zardbros.
