I know nothing about Apex, but these sound like maybe The Scrappy and Take That, Scrappy!.

Acceptable Targets scope is too much of a mess for me to comment on it.

There was another query today that was related to Acceptable Targets here.

Acceptable Targets is not YMMV (no idea when that change happened), and it's an index, so either they need to be deleted outright or moved to a subtrope and the main page.

EDIT: Where is the thread that made Acceptable Targets no longer YMMV? I can't find it in the forums.

I think Acceptable Targets was removed from YMMV because the previous TRS thread made it and its subtropes IUEO for a while and had their YMMV status removed due to that, but since we overturned the decision to make them IUEO, I'll add Acceptable Targets and its subtropes back to YMMV.Home Page. I think whether to make them objective (probably without being IUEO, since it was overturned because we didn't know how to interpret it) should be decided in a future TRS thread, if someone makes one.

Edit: Here's the thread. It was kind of a mess.

So what should happen to the examples that are still on YMMV pages? Should they be deleted outright or vetted to see if they can go on the main page?

Since they're back on YMMV.Home Page (since the reason they weren't added back was due to an oversight on the thread's part), they belong on YMMV pages for now. As I said, another TRS thread would be needed to decide whether to make Acceptable Targets (as well as its subtropes) objective.

Those all read like misuse anyway. I vote delete or rewrite as e.g. Tier Induced Scrappy (I know of one example where an item is TIS because of behavioral stereotypes about players who tend to use them).
