The introduction of simple ratchets is the worst thing TT has done.
When the first simple ratchet was introduced, it was the 3-85 that came with the UX-10 Customize Set U, which was meant to be Knight Mail's stock ratchet. I believe that TT designed it to have smaller nubs than usual 3-sided ratchets to be more burst resistant, but they thought that the height would be tall enough to avoid getting sniped so they gave it a different locking mechanism compared to the usual ratchets that ignores burst resistance. The result is a lightweight ratchet that does not perform as good as they thought it would.
However, considering the amount of material they saved by making these simple ratchets instead of the usual, Hasbro somehow exploited this opportunity to introduce more of these simple ratchets instead in not just their unique releases but also their collabs, which cut a lot of costs. If TT gave Knight Mail a different ratchet like 3-90, 9-80, or even 6-80, Hasbro's Hover Wyvern would have used 2-80 as its stock ratchet (like the ones TT use in the DMM Lottery), which makes more sense because of its shape. None of the collab beys would also have used simple ratchets and would have all been more viable, even if it is a marginal amount considering how light most of these retools are.
So instead of having different shapes and a locking mechanism that not only ignores burst resistance but also damages blade locks in the long run, TT should have considered what they did with x-50 height ratchets, where the locking mechanism is maintained but nerfed by making it smaller and wiggle when attached. A shaking 3-90 ratchet would be so nice to see on Knight Mail with is metal balls and bound spike gimmick, Silver Wolf with its free spinning ring gimmick, Whale Wave and Hells Hammer for their downsmash potential, and many more.
