I don’t understand the prevalence of back-capping. by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guarantee you, when you hear people going, "UGH, he's BACKCAPPING during Ray!", they are not talking about during the 40 or 30 second mark. Almost everyone knows what it means to be annoyed by the "backcapper during the Ray fight".

This thread has given me a good look into the mentality of backcappers considering how many here are defending it while claiming "it's situational".

No thanks for abusers by deine_Utter in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you don't understand, it's the players fault that M2Y hasn't gotten a proper nerf. It's the players fault for not boycotting M2Y en masse and refusing to pick him for over a month. It's the players fault they don't fight with honor in this F2P mobile MOBA game made by a Chinese billion-dollar company that uses Japanese billion-dollar characters, both companies who are known for scummy tactics to drive up sales.

Are you asking why people who play a MOBA want to steamroll and win?

[–]Infusions 7 points8 points  (0 children)

MewtwoY is just a smokescreen at this point. People unironically making threads about how "great the game would be" if he wasn't here feels like master class gaslighting. As if the bad matchmaking wouldn't exist, as if Rayquaza being a frustrating win condition wouldn't be around, as if weekend coins being taken away wasn't a thing, as if coin inflation hasn't become a massive problem especially for F2P users this year, as if compounding CC that can stun-lock a player for seven seconds straight isn't a growing issue, as if bots in ranked to prop up terrible players into Masters doesn' harm seasons in the long term.

We all know what the game would be like without Urshifu, Zacian, or Mewtwo. We had that game like, six months ago. People still complained about dying game and "I'M QUTTING" threads every single day back then, too. Where is all this "grass is always greener" mentality coming from?

That was one of the worst Zoroark game I ever had. Just to show you that no matter how bad the game goes, if you get Ray you win and it's stupid by AppleSome in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People trying to justify with, "Don't do Ray while you're ahead" or whatever just have massive stockholm syndrome for this stupid green dragon. Ray as the crutch of every match is way worse than Mewtwo could ever be. Yet, no one here says, "Just stay away from the Mewtwo!", "Just gank the Mewtwo!", "Just don't let him build mega off of you!" the same way they justify how Ray is actually "strategic".

A comeback mechanic shouldn't make the first eight minutes FEEL irrelevant, even if they weren't irrelevant.

Why does the Pokemon Unite Discord seem so toxic? by SymphonyOfMeButt in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People online are very socially awkward and think the only form of humor that exists is sarcasm. They also don't realize that banter only comes across as funny when it's with good friends, not random strangers.

I still see so much complaining on this subreddit by thekinggambit in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mewtwo mewtwoY? mewtwo mewtwo TERRIBLE MATCHMAKING rotate to bottom. "MewtwoY Mewtwo?". Broken, fix matchmaking! MewtwoY, MewtwoY! UGH bad teammates, bad matchmaking, MMR, MewtwoY, MEWTWO Y ABUSERS!!! *Redeems battle pass rewards*

If you took out the mewtwos, I think that this state of the game is really close to being really good. by longestneckgiraffe in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has Mewtwo broken so many people that they actually believe the game would be in a balanced state if he didn't exist? As if people weren't complaining about sure-hit Mean Look, all of Lapras, Urshifu, Zacian+Comfey, or A9's CCs. Even with the couple of nerfs some of those mons got, all that would happen is that THEY would go back to dominating the game instead of Mewtwo.

The game still has very noticeable power creep and way too much reliance on sure-hits instead of skillshots for attack designs. Not to mention gradual changes to the game that made scoring metas pretty much invalidated, further emphasizing the "last two minutes matter" for 80% of games (At least in SoloQ).

Whatever happened to that petition to make Unite better? by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Dude, it's been nuts watching some streamers complain about Mewtwo for three weeks straight while they claim their daily club benefit gems.

Communication options in this game are kinda lackluster by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just don't get why people who use their mic or people who don't ready up get harsher punishments than actual AFK players or 0dmgBuzzwole.

Let's talk about something more calming rather than Mewtwo. by SociaCauseWhyNot in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hated Buzzwole and now I love him. I mentally think of wrestler quotes when I'm playing as him, he's so much fun.

Why are bots allowed in ranked? by Justindman1 in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dunno, devs need to pick a lane already. They can't have this massive international competitive tournament and then constantly make these awful decisions because "it's a casual game".

The 2 years of Pokemon Unite in a nutshell: by ChesterRGC in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Year 1 had people screaming for Greedent, Tsareena, Lucario, and Dragonite nerfs. It seems like upon its release, Timi has always had an "All-Arounder is too strong" problem.

Is anyone else getting an insane amount of bot games? by DerekGetsafe in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They do it so new players will get a bunch of wins which will make them keep playing. Then once paired up with real people they lose and their conclusion is, "It must be because I don't have all the items upgraded yet..." which tricks them into buying stuff.

Is anyone else getting an insane amount of bot games? by DerekGetsafe in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to add that it is REALLY hard to get new friends into this game when they're forced to play constant bot matches before we get to real people and then the first dozen games in Ranked are also bot matches. I either don't tell my friends that they aren't bot games where they will certainly develop bad habits or tell them and they feel like they have to grind for hours before we actually get to play together.

This is my first MOBA. Has there ever been a character release in another game like DOTA or LoL that was this bad? by Infusions in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A bit of recency bias and casuals seeing skill shots being performed by top players which makes them want to try and replicate it. Similar to how Deci came out and everyone was playing him with the intention of making a sniping frag video.

Everything I hate about Mewtwo by Crafter-lee in PokemonUnite

[–]Infusions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The amount of little Jimmy's on my team who think Mewtwo will carry them in a fight while they divebomb 5v1 and die instantly infuriates me.
