Like I said in my previous post, I don't see any way how Chien can get suspected or quick banned with how it's looking right now. I don't think Chien will be stronger than it ever was then at the start of this generation. Ice and Dark getting buffed overall won't change much in the higher end of types. Ice becomes high mid-tier, and I don't see Dark's placement in the meta changing at all. Surely not to the point where neither are dominate past the first few weeks due to buffs to both types. Besides maybe mandibuzz, nothing really helps dark or ice deal with a major problem they both face: Fighting. Because fighting is actually good and commonly seen this generation, its very easy to just dismantle ice and dark teams. Hell, correct me if i'm wrong, but in one of the major tournaments recently, darks pick rate dropped a good bit, because of the abundance of fighting, but things can change and I could be very wrong. I'll stand by the fact that nothing in which we've seen of the DLC thus far, will indicate Chien becoming stronger than it ever was. I think people need to discuss something else for a change instead of asking "Chien suspect/ban please?" every single time an iota of a discussion starts. Especially since, I think theres bigger fish to fry, like Kingambit
