    Other than the no squirtle bullshit, the biggest issue I'm seeing so far is that these menus are painfully sluggish.

    Idk what is going on with them, but they gotta do something about that.

    I've been playing a ton of Pikachu, saving my coins for the next mon cause I'll get cinderrace and greninja for free soon enough. I bought Gengar first but he's just okay to me, I need to try the hex > sludge ball build.

    Pikachu kicks ass though as an easy to play range DPS. Eject Button for easy escapes. Been killing it.

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    wonder how much they'll balance this - once everyone just runs eject button do they nerf it?

    I doubt these sorts of things matter, but the Unite twitter account posted a link to a questionnaire about their game. I'm sure it won't make a difference but I filled it out and answered honestly and in detail. Figured I'd post the link here too in case anyone wanted to give their thoughts.

    Fuck it, I filled it out. I emphasized several times that the Held Item monetization is bad and needs to be removed. It's predatory and unfair, especially in a game that's audience will skew younger.

    Pretty good survey
    Got to dunk on the menus and Pikachu

  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    And apparently Crama..Rana can spit out Pikachus so I might have to figure out how to get that license

    i learned from that survey that you score double-points during the final stretch (last 2 minutes).

    Good to know i guess?

    No Greninja, I will not follow you while you dive to the enemy spawn point in the first half of the game.

    I'm gonna go beat up this Rotom instead.

    I have no affinity at all for Pokémon and have never played a moba for longer than 5 minutes but I spent all day yesterday playing this and I think I hate myself. It’s fun.

    can you feel the struggle within?

    The item upgrade costs are perfectly reasonably to 10. It's after that that the cumulative costs are going crazy.

    So I just played a match as Gengar and damn. There's no way that the sludge bomb + hex combo doesn't get nerfed right?

    Like unless the other team is able to catch you with cc than you can just spam hex and murder everything that looks at you.

    Yeah, it's absolutely stupid. It probably needs, at minimum, the same limitation Lucario's Extremespeed has on resets.

    So uh.. I got a connection error message loading into a match. It kicked me out to the game boot sequence, title screens and all and then proceeded to put me back in the game.

    Only one problem. I can't move at all. My other buttons work. I can move the camera around and go to the options menu, but I can't control my character. I'm just stuck in the base.

    This seems like a bug that should not exist.

    Full heal negates gengars poison for two seconds which doesn't seem like much but i'm finding is enough to usually tip a gengar fight in my favor...Of course it's on a 40 second cooldown and means my active item is solely relegated to anti gengar duty which is not great.

    Gengar has to be getting needed, righr.

  • RamiRami Registered User regular
    I tried Slowbro and he seems good but also just reminded me that playing tanks is a complete waste of time because if your team sucks you'll never get anywhere

    if you're starting out / at low levels just learn Zeraora or a strong damage dealer because going around the map deleting people is going to hard carry your team, being a good tank won't do shit

    I've been top three scorer with Snorlax 4 of my 7 matches. I agree though because the rest of my team was murderers.

    does it?
  • The WolfmanThe Wolfman Registered User regular
    I think the most assholish thing I've done to date as Snorlax is blocking the entrance to the enemy starting camp so they can't leave, while a teammate finishes up the long windup to score a 50p goal.

    They all voted to surrender shortly after... Kinda feel guilty about it now. :)

    I think Snorlax and Crustle can pull some shit off. I’ve seen some Slowbro shenanigans with amnesia, but I think for the most part Slowbro is probably the most team reliant defender.

    I’ve found similar issues with playing Eldegloss with randos. Why no team, I don’t think Eldegloss is the best Pokémon to fight 1 vs 3 to defend the goal while everyone else is doing their own thing.

    I'm getting a bit tilted too much today. So much stolen xp, even when I'm not the jungler. It's like... Ok lane buddy, there are 6 monkeys on the way to our lane... You get three I get three. It's not "we both attack each and every one, and it's a coin flip who gets the last hit." Oh wait, some third asshole is following us to the lane, and also tagging monkeys? Great... We're all level 2 now, and the enemy laners are each level 4.

    Oh, your Gengar player called middle? Hey Zeraora, why don't you go "help" him! Arrrrgh.

    A slobro in one of my ranked matches kept using telekinesis to grab people out of their fountain so we could kill them

  • RamiRami Registered User regular
    man Zeraora is just the prime hard carry game stomper at these low levels

    100% recommended for getting a strong start in ranked

    I tried Gengar and yeah Hex spam on sludge bomb is good but he's made of paper and much easier to shut down

    Yeah now that I know about Gengar, I've been able to eject button away at the right time and stun+electro ball him with Pikachu to win my 1v1s.

    If Gengar misses his sludge bomb, his damage falls into the toilet and he's useless until it's off cooldown

    Cinderace is the classic carry

    Cinderace and Greninja are basically the only two classical "carries" in the game so far

    All the other attackers are nukers

    Yeah Greninja was my first purchase and he's been incredible. It's cool we are getting the coins back but I wouldn't care. These past days have been a blast and I wouldn't trade that for 14 days of waiting.

    Wonder how long the ranked seasons last, or if they're just tied to the BP duration

    Looking to hit Expert just for the outfit, but also the rewards from Expert are a bit more than enough to take one held item from 1-20

    People aren't respecting Stealth Rock and it's hilarious watching them melt because they won't walk away. That's my entire damage output for a while!
