PLEASE don't nerf pycno anymore, monke pycno is already dead, and pycno, while potentially the strongest 3-slot carni if played right, can be super frustrating to play due to its long cooldowns, unreliable attack hitboxes (especially head slam, which is made worse by getting dazed when you miss), having hit & run being basically the only viable strat against things your size and up, aside from environmental kills, and its terrible accel means any small rock or weird terrain that stops you can get you killed, and it also can't stop to save its life, often making you fall off a cliff, or end up right in the enemies face when you try to stop

While pycno basically hard counters metri, and I've won 2v1s against them with it, that's mostly a matchup thing, and nerfing pycno and allo to artificially make metri better isn't the right way to go, especially when mira and berta are still absolute demons that are closer in power to 4-slot carnis. The other 3-slots usually lose to them, ESPECIALLY pycno since mira's kb can keep it from running, and parry its charge/headslam, and berta's counterattack can turn pycno's own attacks against it. Pycno has been struggling for months, it doesn't need more nerfs, and nerfing something to artificially make another thing better (metri) is a terrible balancing idea, especially when you can just... buff the thing that's weak
