One thing that I've heard mentioned from the anti-ban side besides the usual "lando-I is like any other powerful wall breaker like manaphy or kyu-B and we have enough checks to keep it in bay"(it's too bad that the checks, besides being shaky at best, are either pursuit bait or can be worn down repeatedly by sr and cannot consistently check lando-I, who sports enough power and coverage to pressure the hell out of them) is that lando-i is more or less deadweight against offense. I just don't find this to be the case when
A.) Lando-i sports solid 89/90/80 bulk that not only allows it to soak up even neutral hits and fire off powerful hits in return and
B.) unlike manaphy or kyurem-b, landorus does have a threatening set that can take a shit on offensive teams mid/late game in rock polish.
Yes, offense doesn't struggle as much with lando-i as other archetypes, but it is far from deadweight against them, and I've seen well-played lando-i get at least a kill or two (or even more) against offensive teams due to the these traits. 101 base speed is certainly pretty damn solid enough for it to especially punish more defensive teams and balanced while also taking advantage of good typing defensively and an ability that let's it fire off powerful hits with little to no drawbacks as far as being worn down is concerned.
