"A review on the 9% Nerf on Legendaries"


#PokemonGO: BackgroundThe 9% nerf was introduced when Mewtwo was first in discussion, and has subsequently been a 'fixed' variable that's unique to POGO, and the nerf can nerf non-Legendaries too, such as Slaking.The question worth a discussionBack when there were just a few mons, the 9% seems odd, but at least, it worked reasonably well without any pokemon breaking the meta completely. (not discussing Blissey today) Now with MORE Pokemon introduced though, is this single 9% Nerf still a 'one fix fit all'?My worthless Tokyo take on thisI would hope to see this reviewed. As the latest Rayquaza is a very prime example, with the nerf, it is pretty much just a Dragonite on steroids caffeine. Pokemon with 'balance' 1 strong stat is particular more affected, as 9% means more to them than some others.If possible : a solutionMaybe not universally nerf everyone by 9%, but rather, of the 3 POGO derived stats, just Nerf 1, not all three of them. Rayquaza for example, if its Stamina isn't Nerfed, then you will already have a VERY worthwhile legendary worth collecting. And the same can go to many other mons too.What's your take here? are you happy about the current set up?EDIT Thanks the community for the response so far, seems like in general we agree the 'one size fit all' nerf probably can be improved, with many supporting using 'moveset' to balance instead of an outright nerf, though in some cases, 'selective stat nerf' is also better than nerfing every stat. Or maybe even a 9% nerf on primary stat, and just a 5% nerf on secondary is more suitable. Most also seems to agree a change can shift the meta a little, probably in a good way. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2El1v8T
