5:20 Literally the only reason the pycno TLC did pretty much nothing, if not make the situation worse. You ran in, did like 30 dmg to the eo and in return, while you were turning around to retreat, they hit you twice and got you below half hp. Now this might've gone a bit better, if with the TLC they didn't remove armored tail and gripping claws from pycno's abilities. AG really wants pycno to be a hit-and-run style carni, and yet they don't give it either the acceleration or turning radius needed to do that. The only way Alderon can make this better if they give pycno 2 back limb slots, so you can have both juke and charge at the same time.
Doesn't change the fact that this update just dropped TODAY. Of course people are going to call it 'bad' because they don't know how to effectively use the new abilities yet, Cause you're not gonna learn all that in a day 💀
Pychno is just aweful, even with the update. I tried to play pychno today and not only are it's attacks either weak or unreliable, you damage yourself a lot, your armour is non-existent and fall damage is a nightmare. (Seriously i fell off a rock around the size of an achillo and my pychno died instantly from full health. The same height a rex or even ano can drop from and be fine.)
Yeah. That plus imo pycno suffers from hitboxes the most such as the new head slam being really hard to time and of course charge, where you barely miss it and risk losing too much stam or flying off a drop etc 🤣 it’s strong attacks sadly are very difficult to hit compared to some other creatures like allo or even dasp, even though dasp has a lot more trouble hitting it’s heavy bite now
@@ggplayz1000 don’t worry lol charge is hard to land even if you used it more. We can all improve on our skills. Even if you’re like the sweatiest player you make mistakes, or like me sometimes you think you’re super sweaty then you have some fights where you just flunk 🤣 I laugh those off all the time when something goofy happens, I think it’s hilarious seeing my goofy mistakes
all these kids in the comments like "oh your just bad" "skill issue" have never played the new pycno. it didnt just get nerfed, it got nuked. ive been playing this thing for a few hours and struggled to kill anything. saw 3 pycnos go up against 2 utahs and lose with not even 1 utah dieing. it has a weak health pool, has poor acceleration, poor turn radius, weak attacks, charge and head slam are pretty much useless cause of how weak the dmg is, and just overall bad. forget about charging or head slamming anything large or med sized cause you'll just get stuck and have to turn around and run which takes forever to do so cause your turn and acceleration is so slow so they will probably kill you or bring your health down to half by the time you get out. devs say they want this thing to be a hit and run style dino and yet they make it impossible to do so.
@@Idk-sc1db its not, pycno cant deal with small things, since it has no turn coverage u can tailride it. and bite does measly damage, despite it being ur best attack agaisnt anklebiters
The only way to play this thing, is to be at 5 stacks, go land one slam, retreat, repeat, if the target goes to like, a tight space, best to self delete.
For stability builds It's better to use attacks like normal bite and head Slam Juggernaut is where you wanna use headswipe and bite Why? Juggernaut is gonna make your charge strong and using horn swipe after the hit of charge means you can create distance to turn and run Meanwhile stability means charge isn't as reliable in damage so you wanna go for head Slam to do solid damage with charge serving as a bit of damage or mostly being used as an escape tool, also bite will be decent against smaller opponents
@Carnidoom that is also a decent ability aswell with stability You can still hit people with big damage and juke allows you make an opponent whiff an attack, of you can juke to turn and get out
Nah it's still bad, I go outta my way as a cera to silo pycs so they know they are beneath the still superior cerato, and I don't use defense hide or sub just to rub it in
You deal more damage as long as you stay moving minus the charge, hits at an angle on the side will be more successful, i watched one pycno kill a 1 rex, 1 allo, and 1 enemy pycno that fought badly compared to the defending pyc. How did this guy kill a rex an allo and another pycno if its bad. EDIT, the rex was running BB and bite, allo had regular bite and pycno had that cruddy tail slash along with headslam
People are complaining, but perfectly utilizing new mechanics on the day of release is practically impossible. It takes time to get used to. People want unique mechanics for each dino, but learning how to apply these mechanics? The audacity! It might need touch ups like Kentro did, but good grief… damned if they do, damned if they don’t.. 😒
@@Boredom-ds5ygmy point exactly lol. I agree pycno seems to need a couple buffs but it’s literally got a complete overhaul pretty much and people gotta adapt to it and get good with it to see how it really shines imo. Kentro is also really strong now if it’s used right too which is ironic like you said lol.
Lets be real here the real problem is its stats are too weak you cant even go in and attack something bc they are just gonna trade a hit and most stuff is simply stronger then you if you go in and attack an allo you just trade a hit and then he has the advantage instantly
Ggplayz And the nicest way possible in my opinion techno isn't bad this update I think you just have a skill issue cuz how you diein to a packy like I'm sorry for calling you out but this is coming from a mobile player so yet again no offense but you can't just have a bad run and call a dinosaur bed
Imo it’s both but people gotta get used to it to really get good with it. Then we can really confirm if it needs any changes, and if it does we’ll tell em.
I agree with people who say it's a difficult dinosaur to learn to use etc but it was difficult before and yet it was better than now, I thought TLC made dinosaurs better, instead it adds useless abilities, takes away the good things about that dinosaur and instead of improving the flaws it leaves them there or make them worse, I loved the old lamb, now it has a tail attack that does more knockback than damage, a rodeo kick that is easy to bait and leaves you vulnerable, for the iggy they changed all the playstyle making it a second para, the tail does knockback, the kick does little damage, the stomp is easy to bait.
Things that would have made pycno good and fun would have been that giving it 2 back limb sloths cause realistically no sane person is choosing juke or a knock back tail attack over charge and secondly they shouldn't have removed the tail attack and the tail sloth like they couldn't have also moved to new charge tail attack their to like just these would have made it 10x better
(respectfully) pycno doesn't suck, you suck (at pycno) 🤣 the thing can kill a rex in 8-9 headslams if youre running juggernaut. 2 pycnos and its wraps for any rex, eo, spino on land, duck, and bars. if you understand the new abilities and the new playstyle, it's a beast.
Allo always win against pycno I was an allo just mark grinding and two pycnos tried to kill me but I got both of them low and they ran but they did some decent damage tho
@jurassicjuice2479 you can't fight it. It has better turning radius, fast af. Strong af, good durability. Running uphill wouldn't help, using the charge would waste your stamina.

Fighting apexes as pycno was never a good idea though lol and pyc still a hit and run with more options
@@brandonlangston7771 true, but shouldn't pycno still be able to escape an apex, in case it does get into a fight with one?
The TLC hasn't even been released for a day and we already got people complaining, please wrap it up 😭

Doesnt help charge and slam have bugs
Juggernaut's 50% damage increase is nice, but the 70% or 75% damage penalty for not sprinting while you attack is brutal.
Does it help charge too? Pretty sure it does. I’ll have to try some 1v1s using it and see how good it is if you use it somewhat good.
@@dtbrex08 The increase applies to all attacks.

I found juke better then charge for stability so u wont get rode by several dinos
@Carnidoom that is also a decent ability aswell with stability
You can still hit people with big damage and juke allows you make an opponent whiff an attack, of you can juke to turn and get out
Im ngl, give it some time. Ontop of that you arent playing it right. It has a whole new playstyle now so you gotta get used to it.
Whole new? Blud it's still the same glass canon hit a run playstyle
Nah it's still bad, I go outta my way as a cera to silo pycs so they know they are beneath the still superior cerato, and I don't use defense hide or sub just to rub it in
Nah that’s cut off on the pachy and pycno 😭😭😂😂😭 w vid at least u tried
Pycno is fun. Fast and strong when played right tho...
Nice opinion but I actively solo the new pycno with my cera without defense hide or sub
@@sebastion1457 i mean thats a cera, ofc its gonna win
Idk why alderon never wants this thing to be meta or “too strong”

Been clapping pycno cheeks with conc. So many players who don't know how to play it lol
😭
Add the cera to that list because my Lil dude eats any pyc I see for breakfast
I agree it's worse. All they literally had to do was give it a better turn radius, not whatever it is now. The attack animations are cool though

Its not bad pycno is just a skill based dino
A "skill based dino" that still gets whooped by a solo cera, I go out of my way to show pycs they are prey to ceras
Dont worry Pt Carno getting TLC aswell Abeliosauridae wont be foddor in this game (hopefully)

I think you just slipped off the cliff, rip 💀that lambeo kill though was WWWW
@@dtbrex08 yea probably but I also got flung in the air, and that Lambeo kill was clean fr
oke bro, thanks bro ^^

Pycno does not necessarily suck. He's definitely in a better spot then other times. Honestly i hope they add 2 back limb slots.
People cry when Pycno isn't as Meta as it did before
What
(respectfully) pycno doesn't suck, you suck (at pycno)
🤣
the thing can kill a rex in 8-9 headslams if youre running juggernaut. 2 pycnos and its wraps for any rex, eo, spino on land, duck, and bars. if you understand the new abilities and the new playstyle, it's a beast.
Allo always win against pycno I was an allo just mark grinding and two pycnos tried to kill me but I got both of them low and they ran but they did some decent damage tho
Allo is pretty strong rn with bleed bite.
This part got me 4:52
No it made him better
Not necessarily better but more fun
