To be honest, I wouldn’t even reward any points for anything under semi-finals.
Would 100% agree if we were playing anything other than pokemon, and/or if it wasn't 3v3
The more precise you are the less impact the odd rng can have on standings -

What I dislike the most about Serp is the fact it forces you to play quite linear in regards to answers for it, it's Chansey teleport + a fast sweeper as your answer, anything else is at risk of being glared which almost all answers strongly dislike (especially offensively). Yes you have defensive answers such as Golbat, Weezing & Crobat. But for 1, Golbat after a para becomes slower than Conk which is very important, it can also lose to the sub seed set & can't even ohko serp from full. Sure, you can cram U-Turn onto it. But you are losing Defog or Toxic, which are very key parts of Golbats toolkit for the niche it plays in OU. Weezing is mainly a physical mon, and if you are using it calm it's purely for Serp because Bold is 100x better. Lastly, if you are throwing in Crobat to get glared you might as well not use it. I don't believe it is as broken as SD Chomp or Hydrei draco but I still feel it is far from healthy with how restrictive it can be at times because of the way you have to use a blob as a buffer switch (which can be nullified by taunt) or else you will be at the mercy of glare. I feel we need more answers for it before we can reasonably say it should be kept in the tier.
I think the best solution is:
Disabling its HA until more answers are available (Infiltrator, Tangrowth HA (with AV) Amoonguss HA, Zapdos, Heatran) very skeptical about those last 2 being any time soon lmao. This way it can still have its niche of being a screens setter in NU. With the clear statement that it will eventually return with its ability. This way we (hopefully) don't have a mass panic sell situation. Although people will be annoyed no matter what due to how expensive it was to make.
It's quite a difficult problem to address in the short to medium term due to the fact the competitive community is still waiting for part 3, which could add anything. But for now I would be for removing it from OU for the time being & immediately re adding it when notable answers are added into the game to be on the safe side. We can cross that bridge of when is the correct time to re-integrate it when it comes to it.
Can you touch on the mons Chuck mentionned? (Some sciz sets first one that comes to mind is occa, roserade(NC for glare), Venu)
At least rose doesn’t really care about glare
Infiltrator helps slightlyBat still gets crippled by glare on the switch in but can’t be subbed on
Chande same but more susceptible to serp being paired with a pursuit trapper
Probably not enough on its own
We’re not seeing Heatran/Zapdos anytime soon correct
AV Tangrowth, doesn’t do much more than the other defensive mons mentionned other than not losing to sub seed, still gets crippled by glare
In the event that it has to go, in order to make a clear statement that it’d return eventually I feel you guys should have some clue of what is needed exactly to get it to a point where it can
If AV + Regen on Tangrowth + infiltrator is enough in your minds, should prolly state that so the devs have a roadmap (kekw mmo devs with a roadmap)

Looks like it has accupressure (boosts a random stat by +2, the random boost includes evasion). Usually players with this move literally fish for evasion boost behind sub to get as many boosts as possible due to boosted evasion and then proceed to sweep while they cannot be hit.
Unfortunately it still is legal, yet uncommon. And our competitive scene has so many problems that this is only the tip of the iceberg...
E:
Usually set is Sub/ Acupressure and 2 attacking moves which vary depending on the mon and nature, this can run both physical and special attacksFairly certain it was changed to only boost evasion once all other stats are +6 in mmo, less problematic that way
Correct me if incorrect -
