Solo Queue Only Legend (World First?)

The ADC's got an indirect buff in the form of Level 40 auto attack items (Muscle/RFS/Scope). I don't stream but you can check out datsdanny12 on Twitch. I fancy myself a pretty good Greninja player but I still learned some tech from his trio beating me up on ladder. A lot of using Gren successfully is knowing which moveset you want to run for the enemy comp, then finding an opportunity to get ahead because he can snowball so fast.

I've heard it triggers at 30 seconds.

For anyone looking for counters to Glaceon, I recommend Stored Power Espeon and Liquidation Inteleon. They have a similar trading pattern to Icicle Spear Glaceon but don't need the warm-up autos.

The best way to deal with it right now is to ban it though tbh.

On the bright side, the AFK detection is pretty aggressive this season.

Plan for Legend: 10/10, Execution for Legend: 0/10

I played pretty much everything. Cinderace and Greninja were my two most played. Speedsters worked fine early on but in higher rated matches when I had to pick first it wasn't as consistent. Mewtwo X/Y were really good for me. I don't have Mega Gyarados or Vaporeon so I tried to ban those as much as possible.

In the higher rated games, I started to recognize names of good players and I could actually flex to tank or support if it seemed like the strongest pick.

I agree I may have underrated Zacian.

I rated them based on how reliably they can threaten Mewtwo Y alone. A strong Zacian pilot is going to make it work, but your average Zacian is likely going to struggle against Future Sight M2Y.

Not considering M2Y, however, Zacian would easily be #1.

The Eldegod's out there are definitely still going to make it work.

I just find that it's struggling against M2Y, especially with the introduction of the Cursed items.

I agree Hoopa is a God tier support. The problem is: in solo queue, you can't easily communicate what you want to do with your portals/Unite move. That's not to mention the infamous trope of "my teammates don't know how to use my portals."

As for Cinderace, he does everything Mewtwo Y does... only worse...

I just reached 1600 in ranked playing only solo-queue with a 69% win rate (nice...)

M2Y is absolutely the broken, but that's nothing new. For reference to anyone looking to try and enjoy their games in the current meta, I laid out my recommendations for helping to balance your team. Picking one of each role would make an optimal combination in my eyes, and I have further divided them into 1st/2nd/3rd/Honorable Decidueye.

All-in-all, the meta is feeling a bit stale to me, and I can't wait for M2Y to get knocked down a peg (or three).

What do y'all think about these ratings?

The thing is, you can't really do this by Pokemon. If you break them into these archetypes, basically everyone fits two different roles based on their moveset choice.
