60% accuracy sucks. Full stop. I never even used Hypnosis when it had 70%. With Gengar, I always had Destiny Bond isntead, for that commonly netted me a surprise kill, whilst a Hypnosis miss frequently lead to Gengar's horrible demise.
Bronzong got nerfed by the Hypnosis. It's bulky enough to use it, but a lack of recovery hurts. This is keeping in mind that the increased Trick and Heatran usage also hurt it. Though it is Bronzong's great support moves and Leviate ability that are the main things making it stand out from Metagross (the extra special bulk is small). Hypnosis' nerf meant more people went for Metagross instead. And guess what? Metagross is now the #1 lead.
Milotic had two key factors separating her from the rest of the bulky water crew - Recover and Hypnosis. The lowering of the accuracy made that horrible Hypnosis just that extra bit worse.
Yanmega doesn't enjoy a miss when Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Stone Edge and Flamethrower/Fire Blast are all there on leads to haunt it. After Yanmega loses takes that SR damage, it needs a hit with Hypnosis to survive many attacks. Missing on a Scizor coming in = run away and come back with 1 HP or watch a bug crash into a windscreen. Hypnosis when combined with Protect also comes with the obvious problem of poor type coverage - Bug Buzz and Air Slash isn't quite ideal for a pokemon who can outspeed Superman.
