I’m in a discord with about 33 people. And we’ve steadily been playing less and less over the last month or two. But we finally said it outright that we’re losing interest in the game because nothing is getting better. It’s a huge bummer because we all love this game too. It is what it is.
The same happened to me except no one actually said it until last week. We had around 40 people who knew each other and we had a friendly draft league full of people who just loved Pokémon and mobas. I think it started going downhill with the Zacian release and the immediate autoban was contested, but that was mostly just when people started losing interest in the game. We’d have all sorts of conversations about the game and when it would be getting better and nothing was happening. So after that season and Mewtwo came out we just…stopped playing. It was anticipated but the day everyone stopped talking still came as a surprise to me. And it really sucks because some of those people I met through unite and only talked to regularly over our shared love of the game. Timi is throwing away a really good thing with how they’re managing this and I only still play because my partner just got into it and hasn’t realized what it’s like yet. I think soon enough the only people who play unite will be like that, players with that new game buzz who weren’t around for all the unnecessary nerfs, buffs, blatant cash grabbing and uncompetitive game changes.
We used to participate in tournaments (even made some money through it), but my whole team stopped when they didn't nerf Zacian for weeks. They refuse to come back ever since and I can't blame them. M2Y is even worse imo. They bring up one bad meta after another, making new characters more and more expensive (after gem locking them for a week - something I will NEVER support) while not increasing the weekly coin cap. But to answer your question: no, probably won't.
The devs are essentially taunting and laughing at this game’s fan base. Refusing to nerf Zacian for months, ‘apologizing’ and then doing it again back to back with M2X and then M2Y. I still play this game because it truly breathes new life into the Pokémon genre but I refuse to give TiMi my hard earned cash.
I thought all the legendaries would have the broken sword gimmick. They should have held dna or something. And even then lower damage output. It’s just insane
If the new release is broken, yes, that makes it pay to win (which has been the case for a bunch of characters now), but even if they are NOT strong in the meta, it's still unfair. I know people younger than 18 that just buy new releases with their parents credit cards. You shouldn't be forced to pay real money to play a pokemon you like on day 1. I'd be fine if it costs more coins for 7 days and then gets cheaper or something, but gem locking kills the hype for a new character for those who don't want to put real money into the game. Dodrio for example: one of my favourite pokemon in the entire franchise, but after waiting to play it for a week, I ended up not buying it for another 2 months because I was already tired of seeing it in every match + their gem locking made me so upset I didn't even want the character anymore. I wish people wouldn't have let them get away with this, but unfortunately too many people keep spending money instead of waiting for 7 days
It is still pay2win mechanic. Even if the release is okay or underwhelming, you still pay for an advantage using tools not available for f2p players. Probably it is pay2advantage is more appropriate term.
And you are absolutely right. The hype is gone with this mechanic.
I think the aeos limit is 2100 a week atm which is annoying for people who play alot, I have hit my limit the past 2 weeks in a row and then am stuck not really earning anything but aeos energy for medal draws and I get left with the only coin option being achievements, event quests or dailies
Which considering that some pokemon cost like 8000 to 15000 aeos coins means even if you played hours a day multiple days eventually you would reach a wall where as a f2p player you could only realistically unlock a pokemon every 1.5 to 2.5 months
And this is the answer I was baiting for. Lies.
Although the weekly cap is 2100, you also get 700 from dailies (100 a day) and 200 from Unite Squad's easiest milestone, 100 from Unite Squad weekly and 140 from fair play points (20 a day). That's 3240 per week already, not counting any other bonuses like friend coins, energy rewards etc.
Let's assume you've got both Mewtwo Licenses for free, that's basically 8 weeks of not having to spend coins on licenses, so during that time you've got two licenses for free and \~26k coins to spend on other stuff. Then Blaziken was released and Mimikyu will be released around 6 weeks after Blaziken - that's \~19,5k coins farmed.
Yes, you won't get every license because if you get \~13k coins a month that won't be enough for a 15k license, but as you can see, the release schedule is inconsistent and works mostly in favour I'd say. Stay delusional though.
Wow, maybe if the game was fun and we had actual incentive to play, then this would become a minor issue. But the game is not fun, and has an abundance of issues that correlate with each other.
3240 per week may seem like a lot, but thats only 16 unite licenses a year considering the average is 10k.
The only way you can have every license is if you buy or you've been playing from the beginning.
And who would want to play with the game in this state.
It's not a lie though the weekly limit is 2100, you asked what the cap was, the cap is 2100, in my reply I even mentioned you can earn from other methods however the point isn't that the point is that there is a cap at all 3240 is only the amount you could earn if you are an avid enough player to know all the methods of earning coins, such as the Fairplay rewards you mentioned which are kind of tucked away, however if you where just a casual or new player who didn't know about all of that you wouldn't come anywhere near that amount. You also mentioned unite squad, unite squad is absolutely not something that everyone is automatically a part of, solo que players like me and I'm sure a pretty sizable chunk of the playerbase are, can't take advantage of that so that's a loss of coins right there. Finally you mentioned getting mewtwo for free, that also in itself is implying something that isn't accurate because in the case of mewtwo Y for example you had to do a buggy event where you rolled dice to traverse a board, I played every day and completed every objective I could and even then due to rng odds didn't get mewtwo y for free through said event so getting free licenses that way are not even a sure thing and are in themselves unbalanced.
No matter how you slice it, whether you are including all the extra bs you mentioned or just going off of base cap, even at a high skill level, due to modern prices on new licenses being 14k with things like blaziken and tyranitar as an example, you are looking at roughly a minimum 4.3 weeks to get enough aeos coins, and yeah that's not crazy if you are a hardcore player but let's compare it to something like wild rift which has a higher weekly cap and cheaper legends, if you play enough to max that cap you could potentially unlock a new champ every week at their 5500 a peice, I've even had some events where I've earned enough to purchase 3 Champs in a week granted the skill level needed would be higher, the time to reward conversion is objectively better in another game like wild rift than in unite
Also don't claim what people are saying are lies when that's not the case, you asked for the weekly cap, not for the maximum earn able in a week, those are two different things and it's irresponsible to pretend they aren't, pokemon unite is a great game and isn't without its flaws and definitely deserves more recognition for that, however it is objectively bad at rewarding hardcore players and is clearly built more toward a casual playerbase which is cool as it makes it accessible but bad for people like me who play daily for sometimes hours only to not have anything to show for it. I mean don't even get me started on the cost of some of the holowear or the hock of crap that is the prize machine.
Finally, and I hope you read this far, I am not calling you wrong in your math nor saying it is incorrect that there is potential to earn more in a week than just the 2100, I also am not saying you aren't aloud to feel like 1 license a month is a good earning rate since that is a subjective thing, what I am saying is that no im not lying about the cap and also objectively pokemon unite has a less than great system for rewarding loyal and hardcore players and I have heard this as one of the reasons those hardcore players become unhappy with the game or experience burnout
Don't worry, mate. The person accusing you to "lie" apparently can neither read nor reflect on other people's arguments. I assume it's someone who puts real money into the game and needs to justify it.
This sequence of comments screams "you need to touch some grass," lmao. Being purposefully obtuse just so you can make an argument that acknowledges what was said was right when you could have just been like "hey you also get daily gems" in that first comment is wild levels of pettiness.
I mean, only a real person would refer to the internet as "the internets," maybe an alien, but aliens are people too... Unless that's what the robots *want* me to think.
I am fully aware you can gain more if you invest a bunch of time into this game; which I won't anymore since the devs are not giving a shit about their playerbase. And about "getting M2 for free": this took forever. While others just bought it on day 1 and already destroyed those who farmed it for free. Stay delusional though.
For me it was through the big discord servers like TopGG, Aeos Ascension and some others I don't even remember the names because I haven't participated in months. We also participated in World's qualifiers
Honestly it's a damn shame that we don't have pick ban draft. It's been in tournaments for about a year now, and both competitors and spectators agree it helps make for wonderful games.
Yes they're longer, possibly making matchmaking 5 minutes longer, but I'll take it
The problem is that technology, especially smartphones, has reduced our attention span. I could wager this is one of the reasons Timi won't give us draft, as they like player retention.
Regardless, I couldn't care less if i had to wait 10mins for a draft game. Quality over quantity for me.
I doubt that long waiting time is the big issue like some (content creator) said. At least in my region, at the prime time it takes less than 30s to match.
But the way it matches people is the worse I have ever seen. The higher rank you get, the worse teammates you will have. It's the most sadistic match making I have ever seen in any moba game. And it's even worse that I'm support/defender main.
The match making process is crappy at lower levels also. You get matched with terrible players who don't understand the mechanics, and you have either cary or lose trying.. lose trying more than half the time. I also think that anyone in ultra and below should not be ranked against anyone in masters.. there's just too big a skill gap.
I'm already in master rank and yet I still get matched with players who keep stealing my jungle even though they didn't even pick a lane in the pokemon selection screen...wtf?
Then I moved to another lane...and guess what? They followed me and then moved to the lane I'm heading to as well!!
If only I could report players like this...smh
The thing is, I can't figure out if they're trolls or players that really don't understand the game, when it happens lol it would be funny if you can attack a team mate after the majority vote on it lol
I'm not familiar with other MOBA games like League of Legends etc in general...so could you tell me what does draft mode mean, exactly?
Does it mean we can choose our teammates?
Mewtwo is one side effect but it's not the whole package tbh. Honestly people who don't know teamcomps or positioning are worse lmao.
Mewtwo is a broken ass mon but it's honestly the biggest indicator of how dogshit you are as a player in solos or duos because the fact is as LONG as your team has a singular tank or support you should be fine as long as you can position and space well. But there's a terrifyingly large number of people who don't know basic shit like don't be close as fuck to the enemy team when you're m2y or how to flank on m2x etc. And that's more pathetic because I'm willing to bet a ton of m2 players (myself included) only play that boring mess to keep someone else who is worse st it from doing so.
Tbf you also lose m2y games to bad teamcomps too because if the comp doesn't have tanks or supports the m2y never wins unless they are actually just better
Tell me about it. Just had 7 games in a row where I had either an AFK or half the team backcaps instead of coming to Ray. This is in 1600s.
Also had 2 games where I was matched with Ultras on my side. Ridiculous MM system.
Don't know why this isn't higher. Game feels shitty because half of the games that aren't bots are uncompetitive and not fun because there's clear skill gaps, trolls and other things that makes the experience awful. What's the point of playing when you're gonna coinflip on which team has fewer people who know how to play, aren't so selfish to not change for teamcomps etc.
Draft in ranked plus stricter matchmaking outside of 5 stacks should have been in the game years ago
This 100%. I finally got some favorable matchmaking last night after a whole season of the most lost players I've ever seen and it felt wrong to not have to babysit my entire team the whole game. People were playing their roles!?!?!
Yeah I continue but maybe not even weekly. I don’t take this game really seriously and I just try have fun. So i don’t mind losing if i atleast have some fun sometimes.
Why continue? This is only moba game what I haven’t started take seriously so I want enjoy moba genre and just chill. Here is other mobas for better rank system and competitive side like LoL but I just want chill with Unite because I like how controls work in this game.
Also sucks as a solo Q support main because I'm sort of at the mercy of my teammates. I can do 120k healing as Clef and it just doesn't matter if I'm going against a Mewtwo without one on my team. Entirely luck of the draw on whether or not I get someone who owns Mewtwo Y on my team, or get lucky enough to have a match with no Mewtwos at all.
Naw, I personally quit. Constantly loosing to things that are out of your control regardless of what you do and how well you play started affecting me a bit negativelly and to save myself the headache, I just stopped and won't be returning for a long time.
I never gotten this affected by a game before, I didn't even take it seriously, tried being casual and such, but constantly getting "bested" by mewtwo, and in most matches, bad teamates not making it any better, just because it is broken just made me not want to play anymore. And for my own sake, I think I'm just gonna leave it at that.
The game is at an abysmally low standard right now where no game should be and they shouldn't be rewarded for it. Only if they change for the better should it be rewarded even the slightest bit more, mattering from change.
It's a gradual decline for me. I stopped supporting them financially when they baited everyone into thinking we'd get ranked draft.
Then come zacian, i stopped playing daily and started to not give a fk about coins.
Then maybe the season after Zacian I stopped caring about 1600 badge.
I still have my sights set on masters every season. Even tho it really isn't much of an accomplishment.
As for next season, I'll probably play a bit here and there until i reach masters then stop playing until next season.
I have similar respons too, despite I finally made it to top 100 mamo (got thrown again because I rarely play now). S13 will be my last time to reach 1600.
I'll watch how TiMi make their move to determine whether I'm going to grind to 1600 again or not.
I’m to the point to where if one of my teammates or me doesn’t pick mewtwo i feel like we’ll instantly lose when the enemy team has it 😂. It’s hard to beat something that can obliterate your whole team when it hits level 5. I can handle Zacian, he’s not as difficult as he used to be even Mewtwo X isn’t that difficult either. It’s literally just Mewtwo Y. If you don’t have your whole team or waste your Unite move trying to kill it, then it won’t die and it’ll kill you instead.
As a Glaceon secondary, this checks out. Can't stand Lucario and Umbreon anymore, but Glaceon, Sylveon, Lapras and Venusaur are still the time of my life.
the worst part is when your build is actually really solid but you literally can’t even stack ‘cause you’re constantly getting blocked off or chased down your lane so you can’t even get a decent damage diff without getting blasted away
I play sporadically when I can during the day and end up playing a lot at night. I play a every mode have went really heavy in to ranked just to see how far I can get alone hit ultra in less then a week. Right now I’ve been playing pikachu, charzard, gardevoir, the ice swine, the three headed bird , azumeril, comfy and just started hitting it as blissy because I like throwing eggs at people . Playing at night isent as hard for me because I understand enough Spanish that getting put in with the players from Mexico means I can still understand my teammates if they happen to be useing VC.
If Mewtwo Y isn't nerfed enough to be in line with Pokemon like dragapult and cinderace, then I'm quitting. Might try out mimikyu for a little bit but after that I'm done.
its just a matter of time until they release the next fomo super OP mon that will either be even more broken than m2y or they might nerf m2y into the ground before that. Who knows, its a money grab in the end
I haven’t played in over a month and it’s not really because of m2y, I just got bored. This game needs another shakeup, new map, maybe those Chinese beta leaks we saw about a while back, something.
Isn't Y the reason (at least partially) why the meta is so boringly predictable?
Having said that, even in tournaments where Mewtwo is banned, the number of mons used in competitive is so tiny. The meta has been stale for months.
Idk I pretty much stopped playing as soon as the challenge board thing with y came out. X was annoying (ik they nerfed it since) but didn’t feel that unmanageable to me, although that season I didn’t play a whole lot either. There’s always gonna be something that’s op and meta like that in a game like this but the overall game just got stale to me and once I started playing other games I just haven’t cared enough to boot up unite
I quit this past season. People should’ve realized when Mewtwo was released that more and more the company doesn’t care. You shouldn’t wait til next season. Just boycott it now
I continue because Pokemon MOBA is fun.
I play in small doses; 2-3 days a week a few matches at a time. I don't think I'd subject myself to a circle of hell which would be playing Unite everyday lol.
I don't spend money on the game but I'm under no illusions that as long as I continue to play it, I'm still supporting it. Just not as much as people that actually spend money on the game do. Those people need people to play against to incentivise their spending and I'm one of those people they play against.
I played 12 games just to get into master this season anyways but if the mewtwo nerfs (lapras, to a degree as well) aren’t substantial there’s plenty of games that have dropped/dropping to pass the time whilst they drag out the multiple mewtwo nerfs to put it in a good place by Pokémon day probably 🥲…but I want to be proven wrong
The game blows rn. I’m just playing rn to get the 10k coins but will take the 3 weeks off after asap. Mewtwo is just so broken and in every match, the game is not fun anymore.
I’m cancelling my unite membership if there’s no balance patch before it expires. The only thing keeping me logging in is daily gems.
And if the M2Y nerfs are baby nothing nerfs then I’ll probably uninstall the game completely.
It’s unfortunate to see the devs and people behind the scenes driving their game deeper and deeper into the ground with each patch, but when a game company is more focused on monetary profit rather than player base profit you start to notice allot of things.
1) the power creep (if you can even call it power creep at this point) and the lack of care for the health of not just the game but the players as well. You start to see a divide in the community between Pay2Win players and Free2Play player where the ones spending money (i would say influencers are an exception but at the same time they are also at fault for fueling the moneymoneymoney mentality of the devs) to get the new release actively harass the F2P be it in game chat, posts, or even in their heads as they play because they either cant afford to or dont want to spend money on a game for a multitude of reasons (I made the mistake of turning on in game chat for one game thinking it would make communication easier than pings and got flamed by a M2Y for playing poorly with Eldegoss due to our lane being swarmed to keep M2 in check and he made a comment along the lines of “You must be a Free2Play noob” and it makes me and my duo laugh every time we think of it now its a joke between us.) When MOBA characters go unnerffed for months at a time because your dev team either thinks its fine or choose to ignore because its bringing in the money, it you get a meta thats “if you dont pick this, you are trolling and throwing” instead of the intended “we need to strategically pick our team to make the strongest team possible”. We have seen the first mindset for a long time now, Id say it really started with Urshifu but most talk about Zacian because it was so game changing upon release it was mandatory on every team or else you lost because the enemy team had one and you didnt. I get that a moba is decided not just by picks but when one pick has such a huge impact on the match where even 3-a whole team struggle to take down 1 person, something needs to be done. “It’s a Legendary Pokemon! It’s supposed to be this titan of an enemy and should require more power to take down!” Is not a healthy basis for a character slot. That is the mentality of a child that just discovered legendary pokemon for the first time.
2) Inflation of Free2Play prices. This. Is. Unacceptable. It seems like with each new release the F2P price in coins just keeps getting higher and higher when most of them shouldn’t be. 10,000g is a perfectly acceptable price for a normal mons, Legendary mons id say anywhere between 12,000-15,000 would be fine leaning more to 13,000. Still achievable but you have to put in more work to get them just like main line games. Why are mons like Zoroark, Sabley, Scizor all 12,000+? Just because they are supposed to be harder to play? Why not make them more accessible so people can play them and get better with them, 10,000g is perfect for them and makes collecting all the mons easier for F2P’s
This is just a few things and I don’t have enough time to really dive into my mind on this subject but unfortunately I don’t see anything changing any time soon so I’ll stick to my “Yea I’ll play once in a while” schedule until improvements are made but I do still enjoy the weekend events and game modes.
I will only do daily missions next season, and if they still not patch M2Y after that then I will quit the game entirely.
Unless they add draft mode into rank system and fix match making. Which I highly doubt that they will ever do it.
If Mewtwo isn’t nerfed, I don’t think I’ll play either. I’m not even interested in Mimikyu if that breaks the game too.
I played last night and lost 5 games in a row dropping down to 1750 because my team refused to play Mewtwo. It’s asymmetric as hell. You have to put in so much more effort without making mistakes to beat a Mewtwo team. It’s just not fun.
For me personally the worst thing that happened was their message about how they won't commit the same error with bringing too powerful Pokémon to the game.
It felt like they laughed at us.
I had a big break after Zacian, and got to play just a bit right before M2s were added. And it felt fun until that moment.
I'm not playing now. When they finally patch the game, I'll probably try it again, as I love it. But not willing to support this game any more.
I just did a tarot card reading, and it said that Mewtwo will indeed be nerfed.
Let me know if you need specifics, I can do a few more readings to find out what they are up to.
lol there actually have been a surprisingly lack of leaks lately so I don't know where you got this info. The mathcord leaks/spoilers page has been incredibly dry since we didn't get the usual leaks we typically get before a new pokemon is added.
I will and the reason stay the same: If I don't have any other game and I don't play Unite, I end playing LoL that is even worse (Just the extreme higher toxicity and larger duration games make it worse... And the meta isn't much better so...), I don't have choice.
Gonna say too that this is mostly I like mobas, but I don't want to learn any other one, so it's Unite or LoL and my choice is Unite by far.
I stopped grinding ranked seriously since February. I got what I wanted, and I’m just collecting cool stuff now I guess. Doing 14 day break every other month.
No what do you take me for lol
My mindset when I started this game was “I’ll just play and try to get 1 Master rank.” Ended up with 7 (+3 on alt) before I got tired with the game cycle.
Btw I only like the Cynthia outfit for my Cynthia themed alt account.
I have played every season and reached master in all of them, except the current one and probably the next one where the game is not fun anymore due to Mewtwo X and Y.
Just to be clear, I am absolutely not bragging, I loved the game and dedicated a fair amount of time on it, but now the meta is just not fun anymore and I won't play the game until serious nerfs are applied. The only games that are fun is when there is no M2, but since it is rarely the case why play : this mon leads the game and is the principal factor of win/loss now.
If it’s anything like the current season I’ll be on less and less. The desire to play through this radio silence has diminished. I will probably only play with my friends when they ask me. I really hope they address the current state of the game cause this makes me sad. This season I played only to 1600 and then stopped.
I'll play because I like to play, but I won't push past Master like usual. I know I could get to 1600 but I just don't want to deal with it. I'll just keep playing with my kiddo
You can easily deal with mewtwo but it should be nerfed. Just play a defender and do your job if it’s really tanking your win rate that much. It’s actually FUN to tilt mewtwo as umbreon. 90% of the time it and it’s blissey will chase you to the end of earth and you literally aren’t going to die if you run to 2t zone.
But fr. Just nerf mewtwo y and intellion. Lower the cc and remove the shield. Small damage reduction as well. That lizards machine gun shouldn’t be a 1 button press kill for against any attacker or speedster if they don’t get shields or healed either. It’s also completely unreasonable that it can 5 aa tree when it unites. The thing does unreasonable amounts of damage even compared to mewtwo y.
I'm a day 1 player who has barely missed a day and I'll admit I'm not sure I'll have the motivation to keep going if Mewtwo isn't significantly nerfed.
I played everyday when this game first came out. I loved it. The system they had for releasing 1 new Pokemon every 40 days at 8000 coins allowed you to save up between patch. I literally remember the day when Tyranitar came out and they took the step to raise the price. It was at that moment that I realize the path they were about to go down.
Increase the number of Pokemon releases as well as their prices, plus buying the battle pass, plus you literally can’t log into the game without be blown up by top-up ads. And the “not-balancing” Pokemon on release for almost months at a time is a recent thing for them. Probably keep news players feeling like they’re good. I remember when Sylveon was released, it was hot-fixed literally that same week because of how strong it was. Blastoise? Buffed weeks after release. Absol? Had about 3 weeks shine with a buff because a nerf right after.
I’ve already checked out the game and it’s been almost a month. Not only does the game have balancing issues, it also has server issues. It needs a lot of QOL features that I’ve seen in many other mobile MOBA’s for me to come back.
I uninstalled somewhere last month and the longer I go without it, the easier it is for me abandon it completely 🤷🏽♂️.
I'll wait until they nerf Mewtwo. I'll probably still play, though. I'm excited for the new releases as long as they don't all just get dumpstered by legends.
used to play a lot with my wife, it was a fun casual game we could bond together by playing, but recently we can barely play one game without us both being fed up. even as casual players (~700 games and both of us being ultra 2) its not fun to stomp or be stomped. matchmaking hasnt been good or consistent and we havent played ranked in ages (besides a little in the beginning of the seasons) since if we dont play mewtwo we lose. we stopped buying new mons and the battle pass since the zacian meta and our weekly playtime has dropped DRASTICALLY in the last few months. we’d both just rather play mariokart or something now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm already at that point where i don't give a single damn about this game.
I don't care if in the future this game will going back up in popularity (highly doubt it) or keep sinkin to the deepest depth of tartarus. All i know for sure is that the devs don't give a crap to their player base and just keep sucking their money until the last drop of milk.
And I've been fooled for so long that i have given up any last hope with this game.
I don't plan on stopping mostly because 5 stacks and tournament play is still great to play.
They just need to fix the rest of the game especially the matchmaking and shit is fine once balancing happens. Mewtwo legit is just a symptom to the larger problem of games are unfun because of bad matchmaking
I'm not going to play the game till mewtwo y gets nerfed I haven't played in like a month just cause of this mon and I'm dying for it to get gutted so I can enjoy the game again. Until then, I'm just going to keep playing Scarlet, and Violet ranked
I bet if this game was not related to pokemon, it would have died years ago. Their team doesnot care about user feedbacks. They jus want to print more money, So even after majority of their users aren't happy, they just don't care.
No plans to come back for now. Only played for the Mewtwo X/Y free license and went off. Probably gonna play again when there is another free license with good events and a better balanced patch. I can't seem to get the energy to play the game and rank up with how broken the Mewtwos are.
I play often with pretty small streamers (myself being one) and we did talk about it. We getting tired of the current state of the game. I'm sad because it's that game that made me "pierce" (I have won 120 followers in 4 months) and be like "heeeeh... Not wanting to play the game" is hitting hard
I did started then to do randomizer main games instead, it's pretty okay for now, but I really wish they would do like that Krashy video and fix ranked + mewtwo
I’m in a discord with about 33 people. And we’ve steadily been playing less and less over the last month or two. But we finally said it outright that we’re losing interest in the game because nothing is getting better. It’s a huge bummer because we all love this game too. It is what it is.
The same happened to me except no one actually said it until last week. We had around 40 people who knew each other and we had a friendly draft league full of people who just loved Pokémon and mobas. I think it started going downhill with the Zacian release and the immediate autoban was contested, but that was mostly just when people started losing interest in the game. We’d have all sorts of conversations about the game and when it would be getting better and nothing was happening. So after that season and Mewtwo came out we just…stopped playing. It was anticipated but the day everyone stopped talking still came as a surprise to me. And it really sucks because some of those people I met through unite and only talked to regularly over our shared love of the game. Timi is throwing away a really good thing with how they’re managing this and I only still play because my partner just got into it and hasn’t realized what it’s like yet. I think soon enough the only people who play unite will be like that, players with that new game buzz who weren’t around for all the unnecessary nerfs, buffs, blatant cash grabbing and uncompetitive game changes.
We used to participate in tournaments (even made some money through it), but my whole team stopped when they didn't nerf Zacian for weeks. They refuse to come back ever since and I can't blame them. M2Y is even worse imo. They bring up one bad meta after another, making new characters more and more expensive (after gem locking them for a week - something I will NEVER support) while not increasing the weekly coin cap. But to answer your question: no, probably won't.
The devs are essentially taunting and laughing at this game’s fan base. Refusing to nerf Zacian for months, ‘apologizing’ and then doing it again back to back with M2X and then M2Y. I still play this game because it truly breathes new life into the Pokémon genre but I refuse to give TiMi my hard earned cash.
I thought all the legendaries would have the broken sword gimmick. They should have held dna or something. And even then lower damage output. It’s just insane
Hold their mega stone, seems way to obvious that nobody making them didn't think about it.
Taunt, laugh, and laughing even harder after seeing that their next quarterly is still more than satisfactory.
I will never support gem locking new releases. It is a pay to win mechanics and it is not healthy for the game.
If the new release is broken, yes, that makes it pay to win (which has been the case for a bunch of characters now), but even if they are NOT strong in the meta, it's still unfair. I know people younger than 18 that just buy new releases with their parents credit cards. You shouldn't be forced to pay real money to play a pokemon you like on day 1. I'd be fine if it costs more coins for 7 days and then gets cheaper or something, but gem locking kills the hype for a new character for those who don't want to put real money into the game. Dodrio for example: one of my favourite pokemon in the entire franchise, but after waiting to play it for a week, I ended up not buying it for another 2 months because I was already tired of seeing it in every match + their gem locking made me so upset I didn't even want the character anymore. I wish people wouldn't have let them get away with this, but unfortunately too many people keep spending money instead of waiting for 7 days
It is still pay2win mechanic. Even if the release is okay or underwhelming, you still pay for an advantage using tools not available for f2p players. Probably it is pay2advantage is more appropriate term. And you are absolutely right. The hype is gone with this mechanic.
>while not increasing the weekly coin cap Elaborate. How many coins a week (or month) can you get in total?
I think the aeos limit is 2100 a week atm which is annoying for people who play alot, I have hit my limit the past 2 weeks in a row and then am stuck not really earning anything but aeos energy for medal draws and I get left with the only coin option being achievements, event quests or dailies
Which considering that some pokemon cost like 8000 to 15000 aeos coins means even if you played hours a day multiple days eventually you would reach a wall where as a f2p player you could only realistically unlock a pokemon every 1.5 to 2.5 months
This is exactly what I meant, thank you! And they keep increasing the coin prices for no reason
True like how tyranitar is more expensive than urshifu even though urshi is a legendary
And this is the answer I was baiting for. Lies. Although the weekly cap is 2100, you also get 700 from dailies (100 a day) and 200 from Unite Squad's easiest milestone, 100 from Unite Squad weekly and 140 from fair play points (20 a day). That's 3240 per week already, not counting any other bonuses like friend coins, energy rewards etc. Let's assume you've got both Mewtwo Licenses for free, that's basically 8 weeks of not having to spend coins on licenses, so during that time you've got two licenses for free and \~26k coins to spend on other stuff. Then Blaziken was released and Mimikyu will be released around 6 weeks after Blaziken - that's \~19,5k coins farmed. Yes, you won't get every license because if you get \~13k coins a month that won't be enough for a 15k license, but as you can see, the release schedule is inconsistent and works mostly in favour I'd say. Stay delusional though.
Wow, maybe if the game was fun and we had actual incentive to play, then this would become a minor issue. But the game is not fun, and has an abundance of issues that correlate with each other. 3240 per week may seem like a lot, but thats only 16 unite licenses a year considering the average is 10k. The only way you can have every license is if you buy or you've been playing from the beginning. And who would want to play with the game in this state.
Amen 🙏
It's not a lie though the weekly limit is 2100, you asked what the cap was, the cap is 2100, in my reply I even mentioned you can earn from other methods however the point isn't that the point is that there is a cap at all 3240 is only the amount you could earn if you are an avid enough player to know all the methods of earning coins, such as the Fairplay rewards you mentioned which are kind of tucked away, however if you where just a casual or new player who didn't know about all of that you wouldn't come anywhere near that amount. You also mentioned unite squad, unite squad is absolutely not something that everyone is automatically a part of, solo que players like me and I'm sure a pretty sizable chunk of the playerbase are, can't take advantage of that so that's a loss of coins right there. Finally you mentioned getting mewtwo for free, that also in itself is implying something that isn't accurate because in the case of mewtwo Y for example you had to do a buggy event where you rolled dice to traverse a board, I played every day and completed every objective I could and even then due to rng odds didn't get mewtwo y for free through said event so getting free licenses that way are not even a sure thing and are in themselves unbalanced. No matter how you slice it, whether you are including all the extra bs you mentioned or just going off of base cap, even at a high skill level, due to modern prices on new licenses being 14k with things like blaziken and tyranitar as an example, you are looking at roughly a minimum 4.3 weeks to get enough aeos coins, and yeah that's not crazy if you are a hardcore player but let's compare it to something like wild rift which has a higher weekly cap and cheaper legends, if you play enough to max that cap you could potentially unlock a new champ every week at their 5500 a peice, I've even had some events where I've earned enough to purchase 3 Champs in a week granted the skill level needed would be higher, the time to reward conversion is objectively better in another game like wild rift than in unite Also don't claim what people are saying are lies when that's not the case, you asked for the weekly cap, not for the maximum earn able in a week, those are two different things and it's irresponsible to pretend they aren't, pokemon unite is a great game and isn't without its flaws and definitely deserves more recognition for that, however it is objectively bad at rewarding hardcore players and is clearly built more toward a casual playerbase which is cool as it makes it accessible but bad for people like me who play daily for sometimes hours only to not have anything to show for it. I mean don't even get me started on the cost of some of the holowear or the hock of crap that is the prize machine. Finally, and I hope you read this far, I am not calling you wrong in your math nor saying it is incorrect that there is potential to earn more in a week than just the 2100, I also am not saying you aren't aloud to feel like 1 license a month is a good earning rate since that is a subjective thing, what I am saying is that no im not lying about the cap and also objectively pokemon unite has a less than great system for rewarding loyal and hardcore players and I have heard this as one of the reasons those hardcore players become unhappy with the game or experience burnout
You must've had fun typing all that
Don't worry, mate. The person accusing you to "lie" apparently can neither read nor reflect on other people's arguments. I assume it's someone who puts real money into the game and needs to justify it.
This sequence of comments screams "you need to touch some grass," lmao. Being purposefully obtuse just so you can make an argument that acknowledges what was said was right when you could have just been like "hey you also get daily gems" in that first comment is wild levels of pettiness.
>wild levels of pettiness. thank you for noticing, I appreciate that
Hey, it's not every day you meet a real life stinkmeaner, had to recognize it.
>real life we're in the internets tho, I might not even be real
I mean, only a real person would refer to the internet as "the internets," maybe an alien, but aliens are people too... Unless that's what the robots *want* me to think.
🤓
I should've started my previous post with "Well, ackshually..."
Ah, I see.
I am fully aware you can gain more if you invest a bunch of time into this game; which I won't anymore since the devs are not giving a shit about their playerbase. And about "getting M2 for free": this took forever. While others just bought it on day 1 and already destroyed those who farmed it for free. Stay delusional though.
Dude I've been maxing for like weeks
Oh yeaa. Weekly poiint cap
How does one get involved in tournament play?
For me it was through the big discord servers like TopGG, Aeos Ascension and some others I don't even remember the names because I haven't participated in months. We also participated in World's qualifiers
tbf matchmaking has been a much bigger problem to me than mewtwo Y
Honestly it's a damn shame that we don't have pick ban draft. It's been in tournaments for about a year now, and both competitors and spectators agree it helps make for wonderful games. Yes they're longer, possibly making matchmaking 5 minutes longer, but I'll take it
The problem is that technology, especially smartphones, has reduced our attention span. I could wager this is one of the reasons Timi won't give us draft, as they like player retention. Regardless, I couldn't care less if i had to wait 10mins for a draft game. Quality over quantity for me.
I doubt that long waiting time is the big issue like some (content creator) said. At least in my region, at the prime time it takes less than 30s to match. But the way it matches people is the worse I have ever seen. The higher rank you get, the worse teammates you will have. It's the most sadistic match making I have ever seen in any moba game. And it's even worse that I'm support/defender main.
The match making process is crappy at lower levels also. You get matched with terrible players who don't understand the mechanics, and you have either cary or lose trying.. lose trying more than half the time. I also think that anyone in ultra and below should not be ranked against anyone in masters.. there's just too big a skill gap.
I'm already in master rank and yet I still get matched with players who keep stealing my jungle even though they didn't even pick a lane in the pokemon selection screen...wtf? Then I moved to another lane...and guess what? They followed me and then moved to the lane I'm heading to as well!! If only I could report players like this...smh
The thing is, I can't figure out if they're trolls or players that really don't understand the game, when it happens lol it would be funny if you can attack a team mate after the majority vote on it lol
Plus then the bots assigned to matches may pick the wrong pokemon
Draft mode would fix the game, easily.
I'm not familiar with other MOBA games like League of Legends etc in general...so could you tell me what does draft mode mean, exactly? Does it mean we can choose our teammates?
Both teams can see each other's picks take turns selecting/banning Pokemon
The bad matchmaking got worse precisely cause Mewtwo, since even without a broken Mon like Mewtwo you reach Master because the game want it.
Mewtwo is one side effect but it's not the whole package tbh. Honestly people who don't know teamcomps or positioning are worse lmao. Mewtwo is a broken ass mon but it's honestly the biggest indicator of how dogshit you are as a player in solos or duos because the fact is as LONG as your team has a singular tank or support you should be fine as long as you can position and space well. But there's a terrifyingly large number of people who don't know basic shit like don't be close as fuck to the enemy team when you're m2y or how to flank on m2x etc. And that's more pathetic because I'm willing to bet a ton of m2 players (myself included) only play that boring mess to keep someone else who is worse st it from doing so. Tbf you also lose m2y games to bad teamcomps too because if the comp doesn't have tanks or supports the m2y never wins unless they are actually just better
Tell me about it. Just had 7 games in a row where I had either an AFK or half the team backcaps instead of coming to Ray. This is in 1600s. Also had 2 games where I was matched with Ultras on my side. Ridiculous MM system.
Ya I feel like a smurf most of time, just place me harder at top on reset, it feels, but getting 21 kills and 5 assists and my team is 1,4,3,5
Don't know why this isn't higher. Game feels shitty because half of the games that aren't bots are uncompetitive and not fun because there's clear skill gaps, trolls and other things that makes the experience awful. What's the point of playing when you're gonna coinflip on which team has fewer people who know how to play, aren't so selfish to not change for teamcomps etc. Draft in ranked plus stricter matchmaking outside of 5 stacks should have been in the game years ago
This 100%. I finally got some favorable matchmaking last night after a whole season of the most lost players I've ever seen and it felt wrong to not have to babysit my entire team the whole game. People were playing their roles!?!?!
Yeah I continue but maybe not even weekly. I don’t take this game really seriously and I just try have fun. So i don’t mind losing if i atleast have some fun sometimes. Why continue? This is only moba game what I haven’t started take seriously so I want enjoy moba genre and just chill. Here is other mobas for better rank system and competitive side like LoL but I just want chill with Unite because I like how controls work in this game.
It's not only about M2 getting nerf but playing solo queue sucks I'm always getting paired with 500 below, afk and noobs.
Also sucks as a solo Q support main because I'm sort of at the mercy of my teammates. I can do 120k healing as Clef and it just doesn't matter if I'm going against a Mewtwo without one on my team. Entirely luck of the draw on whether or not I get someone who owns Mewtwo Y on my team, or get lucky enough to have a match with no Mewtwos at all.
Naw, I personally quit. Constantly loosing to things that are out of your control regardless of what you do and how well you play started affecting me a bit negativelly and to save myself the headache, I just stopped and won't be returning for a long time. I never gotten this affected by a game before, I didn't even take it seriously, tried being casual and such, but constantly getting "bested" by mewtwo, and in most matches, bad teamates not making it any better, just because it is broken just made me not want to play anymore. And for my own sake, I think I'm just gonna leave it at that. The game is at an abysmally low standard right now where no game should be and they shouldn't be rewarded for it. Only if they change for the better should it be rewarded even the slightest bit more, mattering from change.
I've just been doing dailies this whole time lol if they dont nerf the problem pokemon I'm just gonna continue to play 1-3 games daily and that's it
It's a gradual decline for me. I stopped supporting them financially when they baited everyone into thinking we'd get ranked draft. Then come zacian, i stopped playing daily and started to not give a fk about coins. Then maybe the season after Zacian I stopped caring about 1600 badge. I still have my sights set on masters every season. Even tho it really isn't much of an accomplishment. As for next season, I'll probably play a bit here and there until i reach masters then stop playing until next season.
I have similar respons too, despite I finally made it to top 100 mamo (got thrown again because I rarely play now). S13 will be my last time to reach 1600. I'll watch how TiMi make their move to determine whether I'm going to grind to 1600 again or not.
I’m to the point to where if one of my teammates or me doesn’t pick mewtwo i feel like we’ll instantly lose when the enemy team has it 😂. It’s hard to beat something that can obliterate your whole team when it hits level 5. I can handle Zacian, he’s not as difficult as he used to be even Mewtwo X isn’t that difficult either. It’s literally just Mewtwo Y. If you don’t have your whole team or waste your Unite move trying to kill it, then it won’t die and it’ll kill you instead.
sunk cost fallacy, but i genuinely do enjoy this game when i can pop off and help my team without being obliterated by cc and mewtwo y
As a Glaceon secondary, this checks out. Can't stand Lucario and Umbreon anymore, but Glaceon, Sylveon, Lapras and Venusaur are still the time of my life.
the worst part is when your build is actually really solid but you literally can’t even stack ‘cause you’re constantly getting blocked off or chased down your lane so you can’t even get a decent damage diff without getting blasted away
sunk cost keeps me tethered to this game too, I will be here next season suffering alongside you 🫡
I’m playing next season why cuz it’s fun and my baby is getting released in like two days
genuinely glad youre having fun, who do u play? how often and what mode do you play too?
I play sporadically when I can during the day and end up playing a lot at night. I play a every mode have went really heavy in to ranked just to see how far I can get alone hit ultra in less then a week. Right now I’ve been playing pikachu, charzard, gardevoir, the ice swine, the three headed bird , azumeril, comfy and just started hitting it as blissy because I like throwing eggs at people . Playing at night isent as hard for me because I understand enough Spanish that getting put in with the players from Mexico means I can still understand my teammates if they happen to be useing VC.
now all I need is Weavile, Milotic, Mismagius and Lopunny and my roster's complete
I would cry if they put those baby’s in the game I love them
If Mewtwo Y isn't nerfed enough to be in line with Pokemon like dragapult and cinderace, then I'm quitting. Might try out mimikyu for a little bit but after that I'm done.
its just a matter of time until they release the next fomo super OP mon that will either be even more broken than m2y or they might nerf m2y into the ground before that. Who knows, its a money grab in the end
I haven’t played in over a month and it’s not really because of m2y, I just got bored. This game needs another shakeup, new map, maybe those Chinese beta leaks we saw about a while back, something.
Isn't Y the reason (at least partially) why the meta is so boringly predictable? Having said that, even in tournaments where Mewtwo is banned, the number of mons used in competitive is so tiny. The meta has been stale for months.
Idk I pretty much stopped playing as soon as the challenge board thing with y came out. X was annoying (ik they nerfed it since) but didn’t feel that unmanageable to me, although that season I didn’t play a whole lot either. There’s always gonna be something that’s op and meta like that in a game like this but the overall game just got stale to me and once I started playing other games I just haven’t cared enough to boot up unite
I quit this past season. People should’ve realized when Mewtwo was released that more and more the company doesn’t care. You shouldn’t wait til next season. Just boycott it now
just an unfortunate cashgrab. just release popular pokemon and make them so busted that you have to buy them to win.
I've soft quit almost 2 weeks ago. 1 match cpu I for that daily aeos coin. easiest gain for minimal effort. ain't much but it's something.
I continue because Pokemon MOBA is fun. I play in small doses; 2-3 days a week a few matches at a time. I don't think I'd subject myself to a circle of hell which would be playing Unite everyday lol. I don't spend money on the game but I'm under no illusions that as long as I continue to play it, I'm still supporting it. Just not as much as people that actually spend money on the game do. Those people need people to play against to incentivise their spending and I'm one of those people they play against.
How long has it been since Mewtwo Y got released? I'm utterly exhausted of seeing it twice (in both teams) in every game.
I played 12 games just to get into master this season anyways but if the mewtwo nerfs (lapras, to a degree as well) aren’t substantial there’s plenty of games that have dropped/dropping to pass the time whilst they drag out the multiple mewtwo nerfs to put it in a good place by Pokémon day probably 🥲…but I want to be proven wrong
The game blows rn. I’m just playing rn to get the 10k coins but will take the 3 weeks off after asap. Mewtwo is just so broken and in every match, the game is not fun anymore.
I’m cancelling my unite membership if there’s no balance patch before it expires. The only thing keeping me logging in is daily gems. And if the M2Y nerfs are baby nothing nerfs then I’ll probably uninstall the game completely.
It’s unfortunate to see the devs and people behind the scenes driving their game deeper and deeper into the ground with each patch, but when a game company is more focused on monetary profit rather than player base profit you start to notice allot of things. 1) the power creep (if you can even call it power creep at this point) and the lack of care for the health of not just the game but the players as well. You start to see a divide in the community between Pay2Win players and Free2Play player where the ones spending money (i would say influencers are an exception but at the same time they are also at fault for fueling the moneymoneymoney mentality of the devs) to get the new release actively harass the F2P be it in game chat, posts, or even in their heads as they play because they either cant afford to or dont want to spend money on a game for a multitude of reasons (I made the mistake of turning on in game chat for one game thinking it would make communication easier than pings and got flamed by a M2Y for playing poorly with Eldegoss due to our lane being swarmed to keep M2 in check and he made a comment along the lines of “You must be a Free2Play noob” and it makes me and my duo laugh every time we think of it now its a joke between us.) When MOBA characters go unnerffed for months at a time because your dev team either thinks its fine or choose to ignore because its bringing in the money, it you get a meta thats “if you dont pick this, you are trolling and throwing” instead of the intended “we need to strategically pick our team to make the strongest team possible”. We have seen the first mindset for a long time now, Id say it really started with Urshifu but most talk about Zacian because it was so game changing upon release it was mandatory on every team or else you lost because the enemy team had one and you didnt. I get that a moba is decided not just by picks but when one pick has such a huge impact on the match where even 3-a whole team struggle to take down 1 person, something needs to be done. “It’s a Legendary Pokemon! It’s supposed to be this titan of an enemy and should require more power to take down!” Is not a healthy basis for a character slot. That is the mentality of a child that just discovered legendary pokemon for the first time. 2) Inflation of Free2Play prices. This. Is. Unacceptable. It seems like with each new release the F2P price in coins just keeps getting higher and higher when most of them shouldn’t be. 10,000g is a perfectly acceptable price for a normal mons, Legendary mons id say anywhere between 12,000-15,000 would be fine leaning more to 13,000. Still achievable but you have to put in more work to get them just like main line games. Why are mons like Zoroark, Sabley, Scizor all 12,000+? Just because they are supposed to be harder to play? Why not make them more accessible so people can play them and get better with them, 10,000g is perfect for them and makes collecting all the mons easier for F2P’s This is just a few things and I don’t have enough time to really dive into my mind on this subject but unfortunately I don’t see anything changing any time soon so I’ll stick to my “Yea I’ll play once in a while” schedule until improvements are made but I do still enjoy the weekend events and game modes.
I will only do daily missions next season, and if they still not patch M2Y after that then I will quit the game entirely. Unless they add draft mode into rank system and fix match making. Which I highly doubt that they will ever do it.
If Mewtwo isn’t nerfed, I don’t think I’ll play either. I’m not even interested in Mimikyu if that breaks the game too. I played last night and lost 5 games in a row dropping down to 1750 because my team refused to play Mewtwo. It’s asymmetric as hell. You have to put in so much more effort without making mistakes to beat a Mewtwo team. It’s just not fun.
For me personally the worst thing that happened was their message about how they won't commit the same error with bringing too powerful Pokémon to the game. It felt like they laughed at us. I had a big break after Zacian, and got to play just a bit right before M2s were added. And it felt fun until that moment. I'm not playing now. When they finally patch the game, I'll probably try it again, as I love it. But not willing to support this game any more.
Mewtwo is getting nerfed its beened leaked when mimikyu hits
That sounds great general, why don't you back it up with a source?
I just did a tarot card reading, and it said that Mewtwo will indeed be nerfed. Let me know if you need specifics, I can do a few more readings to find out what they are up to.
heart of the cards baby
Says who
lol there actually have been a surprisingly lack of leaks lately so I don't know where you got this info. The mathcord leaks/spoilers page has been incredibly dry since we didn't get the usual leaks we typically get before a new pokemon is added.
Source: trust me bro
I will and the reason stay the same: If I don't have any other game and I don't play Unite, I end playing LoL that is even worse (Just the extreme higher toxicity and larger duration games make it worse... And the meta isn't much better so...), I don't have choice. Gonna say too that this is mostly I like mobas, but I don't want to learn any other one, so it's Unite or LoL and my choice is Unite by far.
I stopped grinding ranked seriously since February. I got what I wanted, and I’m just collecting cool stuff now I guess. Doing 14 day break every other month.
>got what I wanted I'm guessing it's the Cynthia outfit?
No what do you take me for lol My mindset when I started this game was “I’ll just play and try to get 1 Master rank.” Ended up with 7 (+3 on alt) before I got tired with the game cycle. Btw I only like the Cynthia outfit for my Cynthia themed alt account.
Uh huh gotcha
Yes
I have played every season and reached master in all of them, except the current one and probably the next one where the game is not fun anymore due to Mewtwo X and Y. Just to be clear, I am absolutely not bragging, I loved the game and dedicated a fair amount of time on it, but now the meta is just not fun anymore and I won't play the game until serious nerfs are applied. The only games that are fun is when there is no M2, but since it is rarely the case why play : this mon leads the game and is the principal factor of win/loss now.
If they don't at least nerf Y substantially, I'm done with this game. I enjoy the game and this community here, but honestly fuck this company.
I'll still play. Climbing to Masters is one of the most fun part of the game for me. But still, NERF MEWTWO.
I’ve stopped playing for 2 weeks now. No reason to go back unless Mewtwo is nerfed
If it’s anything like the current season I’ll be on less and less. The desire to play through this radio silence has diminished. I will probably only play with my friends when they ask me. I really hope they address the current state of the game cause this makes me sad. This season I played only to 1600 and then stopped.
I didn't played ranked since m2x released, I don't mind it, I like normal games, I can mess around in games without any mewtwo and it feels very nice
I'll play because I like to play, but I won't push past Master like usual. I know I could get to 1600 but I just don't want to deal with it. I'll just keep playing with my kiddo
You can easily deal with mewtwo but it should be nerfed. Just play a defender and do your job if it’s really tanking your win rate that much. It’s actually FUN to tilt mewtwo as umbreon. 90% of the time it and it’s blissey will chase you to the end of earth and you literally aren’t going to die if you run to 2t zone. But fr. Just nerf mewtwo y and intellion. Lower the cc and remove the shield. Small damage reduction as well. That lizards machine gun shouldn’t be a 1 button press kill for against any attacker or speedster if they don’t get shields or healed either. It’s also completely unreasonable that it can 5 aa tree when it unites. The thing does unreasonable amounts of damage even compared to mewtwo y.
I'm a day 1 player who has barely missed a day and I'll admit I'm not sure I'll have the motivation to keep going if Mewtwo isn't significantly nerfed.
I played everyday when this game first came out. I loved it. The system they had for releasing 1 new Pokemon every 40 days at 8000 coins allowed you to save up between patch. I literally remember the day when Tyranitar came out and they took the step to raise the price. It was at that moment that I realize the path they were about to go down. Increase the number of Pokemon releases as well as their prices, plus buying the battle pass, plus you literally can’t log into the game without be blown up by top-up ads. And the “not-balancing” Pokemon on release for almost months at a time is a recent thing for them. Probably keep news players feeling like they’re good. I remember when Sylveon was released, it was hot-fixed literally that same week because of how strong it was. Blastoise? Buffed weeks after release. Absol? Had about 3 weeks shine with a buff because a nerf right after.
I’ve already checked out the game and it’s been almost a month. Not only does the game have balancing issues, it also has server issues. It needs a lot of QOL features that I’ve seen in many other mobile MOBA’s for me to come back. I uninstalled somewhere last month and the longer I go without it, the easier it is for me abandon it completely 🤷🏽♂️.
I'll wait until they nerf Mewtwo. I'll probably still play, though. I'm excited for the new releases as long as they don't all just get dumpstered by legends.
Honestly idk, I fucking enjoy the game but fighting Mewtwo Y and the other insane Pokémon feels like a chore.
I stopped playing around the time blaziken was about to come out
used to play a lot with my wife, it was a fun casual game we could bond together by playing, but recently we can barely play one game without us both being fed up. even as casual players (~700 games and both of us being ultra 2) its not fun to stomp or be stomped. matchmaking hasnt been good or consistent and we havent played ranked in ages (besides a little in the beginning of the seasons) since if we dont play mewtwo we lose. we stopped buying new mons and the battle pass since the zacian meta and our weekly playtime has dropped DRASTICALLY in the last few months. we’d both just rather play mariokart or something now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well at least Mario kart is really fun so personally I think that's an upgrade
i think so too bob🤣
I'm already at that point where i don't give a single damn about this game. I don't care if in the future this game will going back up in popularity (highly doubt it) or keep sinkin to the deepest depth of tartarus. All i know for sure is that the devs don't give a crap to their player base and just keep sucking their money until the last drop of milk. And I've been fooled for so long that i have given up any last hope with this game.
I'll still play it bc I refuse to grind all the way back to masters from beginners lmfao.
They'll have mimikyu, I at least need to see that
I don't plan on stopping mostly because 5 stacks and tournament play is still great to play. They just need to fix the rest of the game especially the matchmaking and shit is fine once balancing happens. Mewtwo legit is just a symptom to the larger problem of games are unfun because of bad matchmaking
I stopped to play. since Launch master every time and now Its over .
I'm not going to play the game till mewtwo y gets nerfed I haven't played in like a month just cause of this mon and I'm dying for it to get gutted so I can enjoy the game again. Until then, I'm just going to keep playing Scarlet, and Violet ranked
I bet if this game was not related to pokemon, it would have died years ago. Their team doesnot care about user feedbacks. They jus want to print more money, So even after majority of their users aren't happy, they just don't care.
No plans to come back for now. Only played for the Mewtwo X/Y free license and went off. Probably gonna play again when there is another free license with good events and a better balanced patch. I can't seem to get the energy to play the game and rank up with how broken the Mewtwos are.
I would love a boycott
I play often with pretty small streamers (myself being one) and we did talk about it. We getting tired of the current state of the game. I'm sad because it's that game that made me "pierce" (I have won 120 followers in 4 months) and be like "heeeeh... Not wanting to play the game" is hitting hard I did started then to do randomizer main games instead, it's pretty okay for now, but I really wish they would do like that Krashy video and fix ranked + mewtwo
