Doubly so now thanks to the horses of healthy meta and the power-creep there has been in general in Gen 9. Overtuned minor legends like Ogerpon or Urshifu or totally not legendaries bro they're just normal Pokemon just like Raticate like the Paraxoes further compound the issue.
>B-But niche shitmon that counter/checks big legend is getting usage so it's actually varied and healthy!Yeah, okay, cool. 98% of the format is still that clusterfuck. That you have to use random shitmon with niche use instead of an actual good in general mon that's useful in all circumstances is actually an argument for how awful restricted metas are rather than the opposite.
And well, emotionally speaking, people think legendaries are unfair and boring because of how strong they are on paper.
