Choice Items now only give a 1.3x stat boost. Better or worse?

Obviously worse, what kinda question is this? 1.3 < 1.5. It's basic math.

I think OP means that they'd no longer lock in moves? Maybe??

Too good. Plates/type-boosting-items boost by 20% and they only do so for a certain type. It'd make them completely irrelevant.

Quoted By:

Specs and Band would basically become irrelevant, but scarfers would not give as much of a shit.

However, Volcarona would become impossible to revenge kill after a Quiver Dance by most common scarfers like Garchomp, Nihilego and Terrakion, making it more broken than before.

I'd rather the STAB boosting items raise their boost to 1.3. Soul Dew is worthless as it is now.

no, it's good that they give a boost equivalent to +1 of a setup
stops setup sweepers utterly dominating the meta

You are all autistic.

OP means better or worse in terms of the meta. Is the meta better or worse with this change

Worse. Now it's tougher to score kills and outspeed boosted mons. This isn't that tough to figure out

Stall gets worse too

And by stall getting worse, I mean it's getting unbearable with this change.

Choice items now cause you to deal x0.7 damage, toxic you, and force you to only use offensive moves so you can't trick them, lock you into one move, make you move last in the priority bracket and causes a battle message that personally calls you a fuckwad whenever you make a move.
Better or worse?

Better, but only if the nerf is limited to Scarf

1.3* on Choice Scarf makes speed tiers quite interesting. Right now anything scarfed outspeeds everything else unless we're talking like 50 base stat points difference (which rarely happens). 30% boost means there would still be some uncertainty.

Nerfing choice scarf would make set up pokemon nearly impossible for offensive teams to deal with.
You've essentially made every team have to carry chansey for volcarona, dugtrio for zard x, etc etc.
Basically you've made stall and HO the only viable playstyles.
