Since no one here seems to want to say anything about it, I suppose I'll have to;
Inheritance needs to change
In all my time of lingering around in the om room with "Inheritance" and "inh" set to highlight me, I've gotten a feel for the things people talk about most; usually people either suggesting some kind of less than ideal set that they think is good or people being confused about what Inheritance is or why the teambuilder is saying their sets are illegal
PLEASE FIX THIS .
But when actual discussion about the meta itself opened up, the usual trend was that it was about these three things:
1: The functionality of the meta.
The meta is definitely not finished yet, proven by people being able to hide their donor tags by being locked, and the crummy teambuilder validator. While these two things may be the only parts
that I know of that may be literally broken in Inheritance, they're talked about in the chat enough to hopefully warrant someone to fix it.
In regards to the teambuilder, didn't we have code that worked perfectly last gen? Like, it showed the details of what was wrong with your set, rather than just saying "so and so is illegal"
The meta being broken is something that gets brought up very frequently, by both people that are playing and those that are just teambuilding. Usually within the first three days a meta gets the fixing it needs, but now we're sitting in the middle of week 3 and it still isn't working perfectly.
2: Pheromosa as an inheritor/Kecleon as a donor.
Pheromosa alone has become a meta-defining threat, becoming the most common anything in Inheritance, above Xatu as a donor, and Unaware as an ability. Now of course, being common isn't usually warrant for being banned (kinda), but unlike most common things that have been considered for bans/suspects, Pheromosa is actually versatile, having a multitude of sets that it can use to perform well, Kecleon being the most notable, of course.
Speaking of Kecleon, why is this even allowed as a donor? I think I speak for everyone when I say that anything with actually viable stats that got this ability + movepool would be Uber/AG easily, yet we can't inherit from things like Zekrom because [insert weak reason here].
Discussion for specifically Pheromosa isn't the most common thing in the world, but on the occasions that it does happen, the usual consensus is that it is too good, with little to no reasoning from the defense as to why it shouldn't be banned.
3: Inheriting from Ubers.
This is a topic that has been brought up time and time again, and the only two reasons the defense has ever been able to give is that Ubers would be too good for the meta, and that it would make the meta less consistent.
Now, if you try to look into the logic of those two reasons, you'd realize that there are only a handful of Uber mons that would be too good as donors, namely Kyogre, Rayquaza (debatable), Blaziken, Arceus (also debatable), and Xerneas (debatable and only good on Lele and Magearna). If these things prove to be too good for the meta, then we can just ban them from being donors individually like we did last gen, rather than sentencing about 20 other donors to being banned just because 5 or less donors were too good.
As for how it would make the meta "less consistent", really? Would it not be more consistent to have a meta where
you can inherit from any pokemon except the few with broken sets as opposed to
you can inherit from any pokemon except the few with broken sets + Ubers.
This topic has had the playerbase torn pretty evenly, though most people that defend Ubers being banned as donors seem to think that if Ubers were unbanned as donors, that they'd ALL be unbanned, or that we'd actually get to use the Uber mons themselves, which is absolutely not the case for either.
This has been the three most prominent points of discussion in current Inheritance with my own insight as well as a majority of the OM community's presence on Showdown.

The Immortal so we can hopefully get answers and (possibly) solutions.
And hopefully give us an active leader
