>Stealth Rocks nerfed to mediocrity with the introduction of broken boots
>meta transitioned to using Rocky Helmet to chip things instead
>to use Rocky Helmet effectively, teams needed to become fatter and more defensive
>defensive teams also benefit from Stealth Rock's near uselessness so it's a win/win
Is this based or cringe?
