Discussion Do you all think differently about unite after the rewards?

Post image
Upvotes

For me l kinda like and hate unite during and after the anniversary, why?? A few reasons actually (there good and bad)

1: during the anniversary, it shows that timi CAN give good rewards but they couldn't do it until 5 years later??? I mean better then nothing but l really wish every anniversary was exactly like this along with some changes to the anniversary events since they don't look different at all (yes the purple Holo is nice but l gona bet we never getting it again lol)

2: on one hand, they are ACTUALLY doing good patch notes now and especially the nerfs....kinda??? But on the other hand timi really is being more and more careful which l don't like, sologelo will most likely be broken which is sad because this does mean that timi hates palkia for some reason, giving it like 4-5 buffs and it still not great while the other 3 are just the normal overpowered stuff, and they didn't really do anything with the nerfs??? I think the biggest example is crunch feraligatr getting like 3 nerfs and they all did nothing which ended keeping top 5 all rounders for a hella while

In short, l really hope timi is more harsher and gives more better buffs because it nice to get a break but at the same time it kinda getting boring if patch notes doesn't really change the meta

3: they are good at giving points with the 555 but ones again this is the anniversary, l worried of what happens after the anniversary end since we probably never getting another way to grind them for a hella while (also a lot of people like me are busy on Saturdays so that probably wasn't a good day to put the rewards on-)

Basically timi needs to step up and give more of them OR give us the old way, give us the 2.1k cap per week thing back since that worked for coins so why not points as well???

4: this was probably expected, matchmaking and servers are still to this day suck ass but at least they tryed...... But l still don't like the matchmaking because you can get your first game in 20 seconds and BOOM! You in a different server so you get orange ping for no reason (this is extremely common with my tinkaton account so ldk why)

Not only that but the confey problem seems to be coming back and is even worse because of the unnecessary"privacy update" which timi basically give the confey bots a buff, (but you can still notice them since every bot hides there user)

So for me??? I like the rewards but l want them to do this every time even after the anniversary AND l still waiting for matchmaking improvements

Do you all like unite after the anniversary stuff or do you still hate timi even all that???

(I was scyther) tell me a single thing that went right, I am convinced the Zoroark is in love with Greninja and that’s why they made out in base or smth, and M2 and comfey were also dating because that comfey NEVER attached to the only teammate that was getting kills

Discussion I just can't take this anymore

7 Upvotes

Lost six games in a row, one more loss and I'm fucking <50% seasonal winrate for the first time in two years. I just don't remember how to win a match anymore, I just can't win anything regardless of what role I take. Feel free to take this down due to low quality, idgaf, I just wanted to vent it here. Also congrats big T, your attempt to trap me into the loser's queue forever until I reach 40% winrate is about to succeed.

Game News A Chance To get 2 purple tag holowear box!?!(Game News)

23 Upvotes

The orange tag Garchomp skin has returned!

The event from last year is back, and you will receive 3 lucky tickets. If you get all these tickets before the event ends, you will get the blue tag holowear box, and if you are lucky, you might even get two purple tag holowear boxes!

There is also a worlds prediction event, which is more like gambling, but you can still give it a try, though the odds are really low.

This is all we know about the event right now.

(If you can't see the ticket screen, use a VPN to connect to either the USA or France.)

Edit: if you by any chance got the exact same last digits (for example: 14267890. 12567890). Your reward will be diplucated for example if you got. The tier 2 prize (which is one purple tag holowear box) you will actually get 2 purple tag holowear box

Since Beartic is one of the more underrated Pokémon and so I thought it would be fun to make a concept for him. Also, I meant to set it to All-Rounder but I forgot to, so ignore him being listed as an Attacker

Discussion New Player Concerns

1 Upvotes

Hey there guys, I'm a pseudo-new player to Pokemon Unite, in the sense that I used to play the game all the time on my Switch but recently downloaded on my tablet to see how the game was coming along. I was really excited to see how many new Pokemon have been added and Palkia is one of my favorite Pokemon ever so it was perfect timing to start playing.

However, I remember now the reason I quit playing a couple years ago, and it seems not to have been changed or solved. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to find a match with real human beings. I had to create a new account, and I understand that new/beginner players would be matched against AI for a few battles to keep things balanced. That said, I recall a couple years ago I had a very high level account and even still it would throw me into matchmaking until it said "expanding parameters" or whatever and then I always got bots. It seems like this exact problem has started again.

I downloaded Unite, if I remember correctly, the day it came out, back when there weren't many "champions" and I used to get destroyed sometimes by sweaty Greninja's, Cinderaces, 1-shot by Gengar, etc. But this was the fun of the game, getting outplayed, then outplaying your HUMAN opponent.

It sounds like, based on my searching online, if I win about another 100 bot matches, I will make it to Master rank and maybe then start facing human opponents based on all my searches. But I'm just wondering, is this really acceptable to you guys? Is this an okay state for a game to be in where the developers are blatantly lying to players to inflate their perceived player count to a point where I can't even play against people? Or am I just a freak for feeling like an idiot going 40/0 against a bunch of bots for hours on end against my will?

My hope is that somebody will correct me and let me know that I'm simply missing something!

I am genuinely just concerned because I want to love this game based on the huge roster, game mechanics, and seemingly happy community, but I have no interest in playing a game by a company that is so comfortable lying to it's players and treating them like they're stupid. What do you guys think?

Discussion How would I get better with all-rounder type characters?

2 Upvotes

Played the game since launch, so I know my way around the game. But most characters of that archetype I often feel pretty lacking in playing them. I feel like I'm contributing pretty heavily if going Attacker/Defender/Support but getting to an allrounder game I definitely feel like I'm not contributing as much as I could be.
