Well shit now I wish I did get the ban

teehee it's so funny how whenever you have a "win" or "score" daily the game exclusively gives you the worst of the worst 38% winrate onetricks lols xdd

>daily mission
>participate in 5(five) ranked matches
Yeah, I don't think I'm getting a free bird this time.

>last thread was made in June 18th
Really on its last leg, huh
I've been gone for a very long time right around when Gyarados dropped

What's the gane like now?

>last minute in the game
>Ho-oh is desperately trying to kill a Espeon
>THE WHOLE FUCKING TEAM IS TELLING HIM TO DEFEND THE FUCKING GOAL
>enemy scored
>they win

This is a game not meant for the weak minded.

This game is so demoralizing compared to champions.

If you really want players to comeback.
improve the casual mode
>no win rate gain or lost
>just remove the winrate and battle taken count
>20 tickets win or lose.

Everyone is just moving to champions for thier pokemon fill.

Yeah, no. If you pick Blissey, you're trolling.

>>59419495
No really OP mons, it's pretty balanced.
They've got a rotation of maps going, the current one (Kyogre) is meh, Groudon is perfect.
At the momen there's a really generous event going on, with a bunch of good holowear and licenses.
But they've fucked new players with the removal of the old coin system (now you can't always choose what mon to buy, WTF).
And you have to choose movesets BEFORE the match, with new mons having one moveset only (but items to expand that have been datamined). This fucks everyone.
So basically two steps forward, three steps back.
Still fun, but could've been so much more...

>>59419702
Why are you even bothering? It's the same semi-new idiot spamming godawful takes, just ignore.

>>59419690
Eh? Since when is Blissey trolling?

What supports and defenders are currently good?

>>59419741
It's the worst support in the game. Don't pick that shit man.

mfw blissey is worse than sableye comfey wiggly
mfw i have no face cause that would never happen

>>59419674
Or they could just go back to the Aeos coin system and revert the moveset changes.
Of course, they'd never actually do that.

>>59419718

Man, this game really would be in the best state it's ever been if it weren't for these two glaring potholes.
I wish they'd just roll that shit back.

>>59420355
Same.

>>59420355
I had somebody crash out on me for even suggesting that the game has some positives about it solely because of the license journey shit, it's such a bad change that it induces blind rage

>have 3 mons that I really feel like playing at the moment
>2 are banned by the opp team
>1 banned by my own team
There's a bunch of other mons I *can* play, but this does not spark joy...

>>59420754
Returning player here it makes me think that i'm being locked into having to unlock dog shit before I can get what I want the only advantage was this event and the Aeos coins I had allowed me to skip some of the grind to get some of the new licenses I wanted.
It seems like such a retarded decision how many people are actually going to buy Aeos gems to unlock characters, and if people quit they will never buy aeos gems to unlock skins.
Only positive of the system is it forces me to build a more varied roster than I otherwise would of since before I would just save up coins for whatever was meta at the time, being able to sometimes select what you want is good too.

>>59420826
As an old player I had had all the mons and a ton of extra coins, so for me personally this change was sort of positive: I got free holowear and have already accumulated a large buffer of this new currency.
But it hurts new and infrequent players really hard, and so indirectly hurts me, too: I can't recommend it to friends and I get less cannon fodder to fight against.
I hate it.

>>59420834
In addition to that we also get Groudon map, much more consistent balancing/releasing with actual hotpatches (one moveset releases is kinda stinky but I'll take it over going several months without a mon), the new mons are all free if you choose to grind the events, matchmaking and ELO has genuinely been improved (now if only we still had enough competent players for it to pull from) and I personally have been enjoying the new mons a lot more than a lot of releases from the past few years because I've actually gotten a chance to try them reasonably.

With past years you wait three months for something to come out just for it to be locked to paid-only for a week, you're already familiar with it by fighting it during that week so the novelty has worn off, everybody is trying to instalock it so you can rarely get a chance to play it and when you do your team is probably gonna lock in 4 squishies so you don't even get to play that match and by the time you finally get to pick it without worries you just can't bring yourself to care anymore. At least, that's how it was for me, but now with enough new mons to go around it's pretty reasonably to actually get a chance to pick them up cause if you don't get one - oh well, you can look at another. And if you don't like it then hey there's another one coming in like two weeks so you don't need to wait half a year to finally find something you enjoy.

It just sucks that the license bullshit objectively ruins all of that and makes the game shitty. But as somebody who doesn't need to deal with it and can just enjoy the good aspects? Man is the game the most fun it's been since season 0 (other than the pre-match move selection garbage which also needs to fucking die)

Dead game

>>59420171
From my limited experience Blastiose is king of the defenders, but I've recently used Mamoswine and its quite solid.

Don't have as much experience with supporters but Comfey's been excellent in games I've encountered it, and Meganium's solid even after the nerf.

>>59420187
wasn't Blissey the best supporter at one point? What happened?

>>59419671
then go play champions with its limited roster?

my woman's wide hips on wednesday...

Post the top 3 mons you play the most for every role:

>Defender
Blastoise, Lapras, Mamoswine
>Supporter

>Defender
Lapras, Crustle (strictly the crit build), Goodra
>Supporter
Psyduck, Sableye, Latias

>>59421013
>wasn't Blissey the best supporter at one point? What happened?
It got nerf, along with terrible damage, and more and better supports came out after it and older supporters got buff. I have seen people actually turn Eldegross into an attacker and do crazy damage with higher kill count than attackers.

oh nooo my blissey doesn't do damage nooooooooooooooooo

If you pick the Mewtwo X skin from the free holowear box you can get the Mewtwo Y one for 1 gem.

>>59422632
Couldn't justify this choice as I have the battle pass holo and also the other one, for both.
So grabbed the Empoleons winter coat instead, looks sick as fuck, especially the running animation.

>>59422632
that's neat and all but i aint ever usin mewtwo
technically a charizard outfit would be the best deal since you also get it for the two megas

>don't really like playing speedsters
>daily mission to play 4 speedsters
>every team has 2 or more speedsters already cause people want to put on their new holowear from the box

ahh i love losing a game off of a noreg

>>59422432
>he say this when there's time they had to nerf multiple supporters for insane damage output
It's not even just damage either. Other supports have better healing and better shield granting.

oh nooo my blissey doesn't do damage nooooooooooooooooo

lazy chinks forgot to add tink parade

I think if you ever play Suicune you should have your account deleted from existence and all your personal info publicly displayed for committing a crime

Is there EVER a reason to have two junglers?

>>59423427
if you have two level 4 evos they can split the exp to both evolve with a buff, it was meta for a while a year or two back

>you gain rank from a loss even in expert
This explains a lot.

deep and raw thrusts...

>literally lost a game because of a Blissey teammate
Why do they all play like shit? What's worse, this dickhead abandon me and try to blame me for the game. Fuck you. Blissey is literally a troll pick.

I just wanna play casual so I can pubstomp but its nothing but bot games.

>>59422432
>NOOOOO healer can't deal decent damage!!!

I wonder if it's one person, particularly that schizo
In that case, at least he's not being as obvious anymore, but still not subtle at all

>>59423978
Nah, it's definitely at least two at this point. One's a bit less dumb than the other, more trolling than genuinely that dumb (still retarded, but not THAT retarded), would've been pretty hard to fake that.

>>59422017
A lot of this is disproportionate to what I play lately, but

>Attacker
Venusaur, Pikachu, Greninja
>All-rounder
Gachomp, Charizard, Aegislash
>Speedster
Gengar, Zeraora, Darkrai
>Defender
Slowbro, Snorlax, Mamoswine
>Supporter
Eldegoss, Sableye, Wigglytuff

I had good games today :)

impossible

I had really bad games yesterday

the hour is upon us...

If nothing else, this Yveltal event is really pushing me into finishing solo mode. They should have ran this event along with the rising volt tackler solo missions.

>>59425909
Made me realize that I haven't played that for quite a long time. Too boring...

I came back after two years of not playing and all of my Blastoise damage output is so low. I used to average 70k - 80k as SurfPump, now I'm getting 45k despite being in every teamfight and hitting multiple people nonstop. Did something happen or am I just ass now?

>There's solo mode if you wanna play against bots
>If I queue up in casual, I get bots
>If I lose a game in ranked, I get bots

I've never had a multiplayer game fight me so hard to play with real people.

>>59426740
Blastoise has been consistently nerfed over the years and despite that it's still in contention for best tank in the game to the point where it's the 7th most banned Pokemon in the game overall and most banned Defender period.

pumpin' nonstop...

Are half the all-rounders just crap?
The ones that can gain shields or have some CC seem fine, but those with low damage and weak cc (sirfetched etc), it seems youre better just playing an attacker and killing enemies from range

>>59427271
>sirfetch'd
>low damage
?

>>59427271
no bigger self-report than saying all-rounders and especially sirfetch'd are bad while glazing attackers

Why can't they just make the move pick a toggle in the settings... everyone wins...

Anon, explain your fighting style because I truly believe you are playing the characters wrong.

How many license points is yveltal if you pass on the event?

>>59428793
We don't know yet, but legendaries are usually at the highest tier. Probably 1960 LP.

>>59428389

think of it as "fuuuuck i have a free excuse to shitpost on sableye or full offensive mime"

Oh, looking at it, seems like Zapdos and the others were 1470, so I'm guessing it will likely be in that price.

They are testing the waters to see if more people pay gems to skip the harder missions. And they will. Expect all future non dice events to have these ridiculous missions.

>>59429069
>>score 600 points
I love this one. Gives me an excuse to play my score goblin Crustle.
I'm honestly surprised not more people have copied this strat its just so perfect. Can build tank and movespeed items/emblems because stealth rock kills mobs with literally zero investment

So I stopped playing around Season 18 and came back now. I thought I'd get overwhelmed with a whole new meta and a fuckton of new Pokemon to have to learn how they work, but no. I've been playing for three days now, and am still seeing most of the same familiar faces. Greninja, Clefable, Lucario, Charizard, Lapras, Umbreon. Yeah, I'm seeing SOME of the new Pokemon, but it's like, barely a shake-up even thought I've been gone for two years. This was a game I just played and I'm trying out Vaporeon for the first time while the only other "new to me" Pokemon is Alcremie.

Even when they don't get banned, I'm still not seeing an onslaught of Feraligatrs or Typhlosions. I've never seen a fucking Tinkaton, Ho-oh or Moltres. I didn't even know Skeledirge was in the game until I went to DB. I saw Pawmot, Sirfetch'd, and Alolan Raichu maybe a couple of times. The rest, like Psyduck, Meowth, Latiaos, are the only new ones I see show up once a match or so.

What's the deal? I feel like with so many Pokemon being released since I was gone, I should be learning a whole new meta. But I've barely skipped a beat.

>>59430265
people just don't have them unlocked, most of the people who played enough to have every license quit the game recently and because of the license journey change all the new players can't really get newer mons since it's locked to release order (in the case of dirge and quaq though, they're just really bad viability wise)
though idk if I agree on Feraligatr and Typh I see them every single game if they aren't banned

>>59430265
Basically, the balance is REALLY good at the moment. Most of the mons are at least OK.
So people don't feel pressed to play the meta, and just default to their favorites.
A lot of popular mons were added very long ago, so, for example, I personally don't use any mons of the last year too often.

>>59430265
Some of the new mons were either broken on release and got nerfed hard or was release and is just trash in general. One of those mons was Tinkaton. It's have the lowest win rate in the game. Another problem with the game is that everyone wants to be either an attacker or all rounder so the request of defenders, speedsters and supporters are an all time low.

Quaquaval is the ultimate mid tier pokemon in this game. It's early and mid game is insane, but late game it's just trash. Then you have the issue of CC. Without, this thing is a monster, but the moment it encounter it, it folds like paper. It's fun to play though.

>Basically, the balance is REALLY good at the moment
That just makes the few flaws with this game sting even more. This game is genuinely good, not only by Pokémon standard but by MOBA standards. All the characters feel unique, there’s an obvious top tier but every Pokémon is good. But then they have to screw it up with the license journey shit and and horrendous match making. This game is still good this is the kind of shit that drives players away and causes games to die. People can only be bribed by legendaries for so long
>>59430547
I thought Falinks had the lowest win rate
>>59430547
The broken on release thing really needs to be repeatedly. At one point Meganium had a win rate of over 60%. for reference . The second best mon was around 53% and the range of win rates is pretty much usually 54-46%.
>>59430634
Problem is defenders’, supporters’, and speedsters’ jobs only work if the attackers/all rounders capitalize on the openings created and there’s a 1/3 chance all your teammates are newbs, idiots, or actively sabotaging or whatever the hell the person mentioned here >>59430678 was doing

I'm scared after the anniversary, the greed is coming back hard

I am new to the game. Are all sableye players retards who feed?

>>59430875
yes

>>59430875
I'm the only good sableye player here. I play it on my alt acc and I have a 60% winrate on it with 400 matches played. I jungle invade and disrupt the enemy team all game. I actually provide value to my team unlike other Sableye players.

>>59430639
Priming a Crunch -> Waterfall -> Crunch by setting the first one early before engaging meaning the second is off CD in a few seconds quite literally just fucking one-cycles over half the mons in the game including the vast majority of attackers. I can see why this thing is the literal only mon with over a 50% banrate at the moment.

>>59431055
I don't really think gatr is worth a ban in a vacuum because it's easy to counter by wallhugging or using 3% of your patience to not immediately burn your cooldowns so you have a way to kite if your mon has mobility which is something very familiar to anyone with any experience in games similar to MOBAs like a hero shooter for example
unfortunately, this is the Unite playerbase, so they all just stand in the open burning all their CDs on engage to get Waterfalled and deleted on repeat

In some of my games instead of playing their assigned lanes my team mates try to full send down a single lane at the start. Is this the meta or are they just retarded?

>>59431349
Retarded.

>>59431349
this is called the "i didnt pay any attention to lane selection because im a duo/triofaggot who just cuddles my fuckbuddy so im going with them no matter what even though i said i would go to the other lane and i was just too pussy to try and change"

>First match of the day has Zera with all Sp.Atk equips who spends the first few seconds of the match running towards the wall at base and basic attacking
uuuuugh
>They're actually incredibly competent, use appropriate pings, and are a team player throughout after that
Uh?
>>59431349
Sending 3 mons down a single lane is occasionally done in tournies but it only really works when coordinated platy is involved. It only happens in Solo queue because someone is being retarded

moisturous monday...

So what’s the deal with Skeledirge? It slow as shit and can’t take a hit to save its life. And it has an abysmal win rate. Yet every ranking puts it as one of the best attackers. Is its Unite move really good enough to make up for it?
I main Typhlosion so I’m probably spoiled in terms of an attacker having bulk but other attackers at least tend to have speed.

>>59432215
what rankings

>>59432220
Probably youtubers. Remember, they actually pay for everything in the game and maxed out everything.

>>59432215
Dirge has the same problem as Tinkaton, i.e., it relies on it's passive way too much, but unlike tink, Dirge doesn't have a way to speed up it's passive buildup or has a moveset that isn't as reliant on its passive.

>>59431381
Happens to the best of us, I spent a whole year running crit items on Intelleon never noticed because I still had most damage every game, and didn't realize that it was a special attacker

>>59432346
Dirge could be fixed if Snarl affected enemies for more than half a second, but as is its worthless as a disengagement tool something dirge desperately need it. It functionally only has one non-unite move

>just lost a game because my wifi crash on me
>lose 2 points for idling
Can these retards fixed their penalty system? Not everyone have a stable internet.

Wow, draining kiss is actually just useless. I thought maybe it'd be like, at least an interesting niche pick like Rollout or something where it can do something interesting if you position yourself correctly in a teamfight. But no, it's just fucking worthless unless you're trying to tank as Clef instead of heal. And even then, it's still a terrible tank option.

I don't think you can really save Sableye with pure number changes, at least not without eventually risking it tipping into absolutely cancer meta pick status again. It needs new effects that give it more utility especially when Suicune can also just chain stun you for 30 years but with more bulk, damage, range and control over its area of stuns while also piercing multiple targets.
Give it inherent curse, vanguard bell on stuns or move the healing effects of Shadow Sneak/Feint Attack to the base levels. Have Shadow Sneak+ make it immune to any stealth detecting moves instead (shit's just unplayable when anyone can pick Inteleon and ruin your day with Unite, I don't think it's healthy gameplay design to make stealth detection only available on a few heroes which just means they become bullshit level counterpicks for no good reason). Make it so feint attack gets a bigger range or more damage the longer it's on the field (and let it appear on your ally's minimap for fuck's sake).

God Articuno feels fucking awful to play regardless of how good it is. All you do it click Blizzard and then try to time an Ice Beam with the freeze while getting wailed on. It's so much less fun than any of the other mons that use freeze like .

>>59433431
>I don't think it's healthy gameplay design to make stealth detection only available on a few heroes which just means they become bullshit level counterpicks for no good reason
This is a big problem in these sorts of games that periodically release characters where they introduce a problem and then a little bit later sell you "the solution" in the form of a single character that counteracts it so you're incentivized to buy them for that free W - only for that new character to then become the new problem and become obsolete when the next drop arrives that cucks them instead. I have absolutely no doubt that Comfey releasing after both Sableye and Dragapult was an intentional decision, likewise with defense piercing DoT Chandelure right after Lapras and Goodra immediately followed by Mean Look Umbreon to trap Chandelure in place because of its constant kiting and this is all in response to Sableye being the "answer" to stacking items and score comp at the wake of Theia and Dodrio. Not to mention the bullshit or Ushifu and Ttar with damage piercing ignoring shields conveniently after they introduce a map where the main objective grants people what is essentially a super score shield. Nothing was worse than making a comeback on broken ass Ttar, Mime, Mew, Dodrio and whatever else just for one of those true damage bastards to say "ah ah ah you can't score here :^)" with nothing you can do about it. Thankfully this has kinda stopped as of recent, in fact I'd even say some of the releases this year counter the mons that come directly after them, but for a few years Unite was genuinely one of the worst games ever for this shit because there were no real global mechanics at play to give you the flexibility of fighting back - you played around the new mons or you got fucked and if your team's dedicated counter was piloted by little timmy the 40% winrate ADC main trying out the new character for 1 match you got spitroasted. It's a miracle we ever got Curse items.

>>59433445
you should never be going for the extra ice beam damage just pop it immediately for an instant freeze, ice shard/beam gives full ice stacks to any opponent who has any number of stacks on them
like 200 damage or whatever is not worth giving your enemy a chance to escape or fight back before they get stunned and melted especially once you upgrade blizzard and can get two freezes in one use or can freeze several people at once

>>59433354
I wouldn't say all items due to some just being shit, but a majority should be 30. That way you have good enough items to help out in any situation. Upgrading is already a hassle, so going for 40 will be a nightmare. Unless you got money.

where do yo get the shednija doll, I'm not seeing in in the shop

>It needs new effects that give it more utility
We're talking about Timi here they are jeet tier programmers that can only tweak numbers. The only time they added an additional effect was on Pikachu's volt tackle and only because he had a battle pass during that time and is a shillmon

Just tried Skeledirge, pretty fun. We lost because our Snorlax and Feralligator made terrible macro decisions, but they did seem to try their best at least.

I still don't really see a use for this item.

Haven’t played this game long enough to experience many patches to know the difference, but the pace of the game is quite fast specially during fights. Half a second will be noticeable

>>59434607
Depends on the mon but for anyone that relies on "move cycles" like Aegis' form changes or Typhlosion's Rage Cycling it's massive. Machamp got a single second of CD reduction to Submission months ago and became meta overnight, but when it got reverted recently (and made worse with an additional .5) it basically disappeared as quickly as it came.

Either they nixing it because viewership wasn't hacking it for the cost of the setup or the game's being put out to pasture relatively soon. Shame either way given 99% of this game's grievous wounds were pretty blatantly self-inflicted. From ridiculously overpriced cosmetics, to shitty poorly thought out balancing decisions throughout MOST of the game's life that reached its logical conclusion with disgustingly overpowered EX Licenses, to putting the game on a temporary maintenance mode for a Chinese version that flopped and won't even have it's unique aspects moved to global, to the entire License Journey and Move Path shit. It seemed like legit self-sabotage since Day 1 and they're unfortunately reaping what they sowed now.

>>59435145
eos is lurking closer...

>>59435145
EoS all but inevitable at this point
They’re probably making one final squeeze on the whales before finally pulling the plug

>>And you have to choose movesets BEFORE the match, with new mons having one moveset only (but items to expand that have been datamined). This fucks everyone.
From a game dev pov, the glaring issue with having move choice is that it opens up the potential for imbalanced gameplay in a game that is constantly adding new 'mons. Is it a stupid excuse? Yes, no fucking shit it is. But if they were going to go down the path of limiting what moves you can bring and also neuter new 'mons by not giving them a choice at all, then they should just double down already and neuter everyone equally to one choice. Just rip the fucking bandaid off already, Jesus Christ.

wild rift shut down all competitive play except in china and it's far from eos, chuds.

>>59435145
actual answer: unite has historically had poor viewership and it's not worth the costs of hosting it as part of the main yearly event
it's a nothingburger just like every other T"HE GAME IS DEAD!!!" news

>>59435194
I know it'd upset everyone else but I'd unironically fucking cum if every secondary moveset of old mons was just split off onto another new mon to play, the cost of some mixed sets is worth the price of getting to play mons I actually like

>>59435234
Makes sense. Though it’s pretty ass backwards that Unite has such low viewership. Unlike VeeGeeCee The Pokémon actually do things instead of standing still most of the time, and there are more viable pokemon instead of the same 5 shillmons

>>59435242
problem is it's pretty nonsensical casually, you're just watching some guys idly farm for 8 minutes and then randomly one team wins off of a 3 second long fight or oopsies one team got an objective coinflip XDDDD

>>59435145
Not good news but if they're still having an event at all its not the end of the world/game yet. Maybe TPC are just unhappy with the viewership and not the revenue.

I'm so glad that I haven't spent money on the game since 2023. I thought about it a couple times but I'm glad I didn't

I think that's a divine sign right there.

you guys have been saying the game is about to eos for 5 years

Two more weeks
But I do wonder how much longer this game is going to last

smoochable smoothness...

>Treasure Chest and Lucky Ice Pops events end in 8 hours
>nothing new to replace them in the calendar
They don't event want your money anymore. It truly is over.

did ice fang get its range shadowbuffed because ever since the last patch these absolute fucking creatures have been grabbing me from miles away and it keeps catching me off guard

So when should I expect servers to go down?

Cramorant until Blastoise was added a month or two after launch (which is funny because I basically only played blastoise during the canadian beta but they held him off on release)

Stopped playing around may 2024 when deadlock came out. Shame because I really loved the game but seeing what they've done to it in the last couple years is insane.

I've been begging for sceptile on here since launch but part of me is glad they never added him.

RIP.

just play 4 quick battles

nobody wants to play a quick battle bro

>>59435952
Don't expect it to shut down entirely. They'll keep the game up but it won't have new updates/patches or seasons. They'll probably let you buy all the old cosmetics too. They can keep the servers going honestly, the Pokémon ip has all the money in the world to support it, not sure why they would just delete it permanently.

>>59436160
it takes 15-20 mins, you can do it. you're just wasting time on ranked trying to clear that mission

>>59436187
I'm playing a video game cause I enjoy the video game if I fail the mission oh well

>>59436209
i gave you a faster option of clearing the mission so you don't have to worry about it, but if you don't want to do it then whatever, play the game how you want idrc

I see what you did there

>just switch the difficulty to easy :)

>i'm a manly gamer that wants to do things the hard yet i'll cry about it the entire time :)

Does anyone actually care about competitive in this game? The hardest part about playing this game on the highest level is just finding 4 other people to take this game seriously.
