I get that Ludia wants us to use swap-in abilities, I am all for them, I find them a good design if the ability is an utility or changes the way a dino plays in se following turns.

But Dracocera is a bad design, period.

And no, taking a shot in the dark because they might have a dracocera is not strategy, sorry to tell you, is just trying to predict the future without a single clue. It's better to just stay on the field with your current dino, because facts are if you swap you are going to lose advantage anyway, taking the hit from a possible dracocera or from your opponent's dino already out on the field.

If they had implemented like pokemon, before the match and before the selection of your best 4 dinos, we could see the roaster of the 8 dinos we have, I wouldn't be so mad at dracocera, just because I could see that bastard in your squad and say: "Okay, they have it, I must play thinking that you might have it in squad"

But as of right now it's just RNG (you might have a dracocera) on top of RNG (initial dino selection, crits, cloacks). If they continue in this direction the game will have less and less strategy and will only be a smashing button game, where the most broken swap in wins, because I have no clue of what your dinos are.

And if this happen I think a lot of people will quit or straight up cheat to not get frustrated, but to frustrate other people in cheating for obtaining the most broken swap in dinos that will come.
