triage isn't unhealthy. i've said this before but i think having a way to revenge kill faster threats without having to dedicate slots to a scarfer is a boon for fatter teams and adds more to the meta than it would take away. if anything it's always been the combination of triage drain punch + bd in the past that's gotten mons banned, but with kommo legal and more tools than ever to deal with it it's been mostly proven that these mons would be fine in the meta, and all the other triage users are either bad or balanced in the meta, so it's clearly triage dp + bd th. as for kommo itself yeah if literally everything goes its way (meaning light screen is up + no tspikes or other hazards that push it into ko range + no faster ghosts in a meta where ghold and cerul are great + a free turn to setup on something + no unaware), then it sweeps but this happens so very little of the time. almost every good team should be naturally prepped for triage kommo via any of the methods i listed + others i'm forgetting rn and in practice it rarely gets a chance to do anything with so much counterplay running around. i thought cerul would be broken as well as but again, with all the natural counterplay in faster 4x resists/immunites that wouldn't see any less usage if cerul/triage was banned + a rocks weakness that's difficult to circumvent since lo nets so many kills, i've found it to be rather underwhelming although still a good mon. if anything, we should be freeing ursa and hari as those can't possibily be any worse than kommo is currently.
don't ban triage. it's just a bad idea.
i really dislike these arguments because they don't make a lot of sense. no one is seriously saying that some shitmon like prankster air balloon wisp banette should be run on every team to beat specifically triage users, practically any anti-cheese stuff will work vs kommo and most other triage mons. cerul is a bit harder to outsource with anti-cheese but again resists and immunites work just fine considering there's just so many of them and that a +2 hit is a lot weaker than a +6 hit. using kyorge as a stand-in for kommo here is also a false equilvalent as they have massively different power levels; in fact, i bet kyorge could beat up a hoodra anyway by using the old ag set of sub/cm/block/scald. if we really wanted to we could sit here all day and point out how many variants kyorge has that could help it beat whatever the hell it wants on top of its sheer power. triage mons don't have that luxury, they will always have overlapping counterplay in terms of bd triage and faster resists/immunites in terms of other triage setup sweepers like cerul or enam.My point doesnt really stop there - I genuinely don't see why Triage is still legal. Sure, while there hasn't been too much community discussion/outcry for Triage, its unhealthy traits are still there and are pretty obvious. The only arguments I've really heard from the DNB side is that Triage is kept in check by Azelf (which is partially true btw, since kommo-o can beat Azelf 1v1) or that it gets walled by x niche(r) mon. The latter argument is flawed since I could argue that Kyogre should be freed using that argument since it is walled by Hoodra, which is really extreme and something that I will not advocate for.
