>>47079756Lando was never a villain. He was just misunderstood.
He's not overpowered or hard to kill or anything like that. An easily exploitable 4x weakness and a lack of reliable recovery means you have to actually use your brain. Not to mention that his speed tier is just mediocre. Fast enough to outspeed non-speed oriented things, but not fast enough to be guaranteed a first move without a scarf.
And what he brings to the table is allowing you to be more creative with your 5 other party slots. Instead of needing to dedicate spaces to a ground type, flying type, offensive pivot, defensive pivot, hazard setter, hazard control, wallbreaker, speed control, etc., you can just use what you want to use and have Lando pick up the slack.
