Should any type matchups be changed?

[PoryKid575]

The type chart has remained completely unchanged since X/Y came out nearly a dozen years ago, and the majority of it has been around since Red/Green released in 1996. Do you think that any matchups should be changed around without outright removing / adding any (eg: having electricity hit ground for not very effective damage instead of being immune), or is the current system fine as-is?

A core belief I held as a kid, that I still hold onto now, is that all offensive Ice-type moves should function like Freeze-Dry and hit water-types super-effectively, instead of not-effectively.

Ice should resist Water & Dragon imo.
Fairy shouldn't resist Bug.
Dragon should be super effective on 1 more type aside from itself, perhaps Normal.

Weaken Steel for sure. Why should it get 10 resistances and an immunity, given the next closest on resistances is...Fire with 6? Hardly considers the trade-off of being a slightly weak offensive type to be fair. Hits better than Grass does. (Realizes Steel's offenses are best against types that are mostly already weak, and thus, not as valuable. Does not care.)

Wants to see Dark and Ghost differ a little more, offensively. Overlaps a lot.

Owes Ice another resistance (or better offense). Hits 4 types super-effectively and 4 types not-very-effectively. Why is that worth 4 weaknesses and 1 resistance when Fire has the same number of offensive type match-ups? Because of being super-effective against Dragon? Makes you want Ice type moves, perhaps, but not Ice type Pokemon.

Ought to give Bug more. Stinks offensively in return for...okay defenses and typically poor base stat totals? Why is it not a defensive powerhouse? Think about cockroaches. How hard is it to kill them? (Has no first-hand experience, thankfully.)

I wouldn't be against small changes, as long as they don't indirectly nerf what doesn't need to be nerfed.

For example, make Ice resist Dragon, but make Steel not resist it anymore. That way Dragon type moves wouldn't become even worse than they already are.

Ice should be super effective to Water and water should not be very effective against ice. Like? Why isn't it already like this?
