[OU discussion] banned items and levels
"Bright Power, Lax Incense, Focus w/e, kings rock, quick claw"
talked to a few people. these items are not ban worthy. in nearly every if not every circumstance they are inferior choices to the likes of the choice items, life orb, berrys, ect. using them has a cost of a better item in exchange for a small chance of rng.
they got banned back in 2013 because some staff added them to the ban list and everyone was all "these items are annoying why would we fi
You're the worst.
So, before anything else, I'd like to point out King's Rock gives a 10% flinch chance, not 20%. So, with Skill Link, multi-hit attacks have ~41% chance to flinch, not these straight absurd numbers people have been putting out here.
That applies to pretty much every hax item; Incense + Brightpowder are 10%, Focus Band is 10%. The only one that isn't is Quick Claw, at an incredible 20% (wowee OPOP xD).
So, before continuing on, I'll acknowledge
