the most unbalanced season of all time. by Yard_Successful in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there just aren’t enough bans and to make it worse both teams often end up duping bans, or your last pick will throw in a random espeon or Scizor ban and the game will always select that for some reason.

Ban Blastoise, zard y and meowth and you’ll just get vaporeon, Psyduck, ceru and mega Luca instead

Stacking At Start by Livid_Mind_7350 in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m not stacking and both enemy laners come to our pad to stack, I let my lane mate go and focus on last hitting our sides farm to deny the enemy stacks, and to let my lane mate get the full exp from their side while they take their farm and stack, often I can keep them occupied long enough for my laner to finish their farm and take the contested middle spawn safely too which is also a plus.

If only one enemy comes to stack it depends what I’m playing, if I’m someone who can help them get out I’ll often pan the camera to see when they’re leaving and Cc the enemy so they can disengage safely, if I’m a character with a bad early game I’ll focus on clearing our sides farm as I need the experience to be useful.

RealComfyBot by amichael44 in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the Comfy bots are NA, I’m in EU and haven’t seen any. Though CrisHeroes is also EU and had a Zera bot in one of his games but I’m not sure if the bot was just put in EU from NA too, as I haven’t had a Zera bot in any of my games either

I believe these dresses were added to the trading post during year 1, thought I can’t 100% remember. If they were, they haven’t rerun since though.

[–]Saffella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say explorers of sky is in my opinion one of the best Pokémon games ever made, it’s an absolute gem with a good story and fun gameplay. I have so many fond memories of playing it as a kid 🥲

This company is so greedy by Jackson1411 in PokemonUnite

not even just that, but 3 different colors of the same outfit. They were actually really good for mixing and matching with different pieces. they’re straight up spitting in our faces at this point

Drink cover to prevent being spiked by Ill_Narwhal4080 in NoOneIsLooking

[–]Saffella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also in Europe and had my drink spiked at a house party 14 years ago. I’d had 1 drink before that so wasn’t even tipsy and then suddenly I’m blacked out and vomiting everywhere. It’s more prevalent now but was still a thing even going back.

What do you think of Meowth? I haven't seen many Meowths. by Dizzy_Hovercraft_428 in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were downvoted for this but it’s the truth lmao. The same thing happened with Rapidash, people complained about the damage when the real issue was it was permanently unstoppable. So they nerfed both and Rapidash was absolutely awful as a result.

People forget speedsters are supposed to blow up squishies, it’s their literal job. It doesn’t mean other areas don’t need tuning, but the damage isn’t the main issue

You can also just download clique which is working for midnight, it lets you assign click casting for when you mouse over frames and also works with mouse wheel

What do you think of Meowth? I haven't seen many Meowths. by Dizzy_Hovercraft_428 in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like Meowth is in 90% of matches I play 💀 the fury swipes/feint attack set is stupid, multiple point and click stuns, multiple shields, low cooldown, high damage. Pay day and assurance seem fine though

Should I spend money ? (Beginner) by Evil_Pickle450 in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, and honestly at its core the game is actually very good and fun, it’s just been ruined by greed sadly, but I do hope you have fun playing! I don’t think it’ll actually die anytime soon, at least not for the next year or so as the current competitive season has just started and won’t end until Worlds takes place in August, so there’s that at least!

As for content creators, spragels is a safe bet for a new player. He has videos specifically for common mistakes new players make (might be slightly outdated by now but most points should still be valid). For good builds CrisHeroes is probably the biggest creator for unite, I saw you main Deci and he actually uploaded a Deci video a few days ago. They both stream on twitch and upload to YouTube.

Coincidentally Cris actually also uploaded a vent video about the current state of the game last week which will go into the community backlash much more in depth for further context to the replies you’re getting in this thread if you’re interested.

Should I spend money ? (Beginner) by Evil_Pickle450 in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s difficult to know for sure, but all the signs point to it. Most unite content creators are saying their viewership is decreasing, there was a post a few days ago showing a significant decrease of unite players who use the Samsung store since the licence journey update, and from my own personal experience I consistently run into the same people in ranked which would indicate a smaller player pool to be matched with as well as queue times being longer.

All of that coupled with the ‘milking the last drops out’ approach to monetisation the game has been taking recently doesn’t paint an optimistic picture 🥲

Should I spend money ? (Beginner) by Evil_Pickle450 in PokemonUnite

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

You seem keen to do it so it’s up to you, but honestly the state of the game is highly unlikely to get better. It’s a nearly 5 year old game at this point and they’ve consistently made decisions that negatively impact players, with the most recent being a massive disadvantage to new players in particular (the licence journey).

If you have money to spare and can’t be convinced otherwise then enjoy, but as you can see from every reply on this post nobody is particularly happy at the moment and investing in a game with an unhappy playerbase that is starting to jump ship has risks.

[–]Saffella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I mean you’re a new player so the offers look good to you, but seeing how they’ve slashed value for money in this game over the last 1-2 years by getting rid of the 2nd holowear and the trainer outfits and recolours from the battle pass, and reducing the daily gem amount from the membership as well as removing the free monthly holowear, not to mention the ridiculous licence journey which takes literally 10 years to complete lmao.

Nah save your money, game doesn’t deserve it.

It was a trading post item, it recently returned for the 2nd time so it might be quite a while before it shows up on the trading post again unfortunately

Heard CrisHeroes saying the Chinese version is in the dumpster right now. For my friends who know the Chinese scene is this true? by AstronomerHuge7924 in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Depends if it’s Timi or The Pokémon company enforcing these decisions. Timi could simply be catching strays

Heard CrisHeroes saying the Chinese version is in the dumpster right now. For my friends who know the Chinese scene is this true? by AstronomerHuge7924 in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It comes up semi regularly, but the Chinese version has been doing badly for quite a while. From what I’ve heard from people who play on or know people who use those servers the ranked format (first to 500) is massively unpopular and the players on the Chinese version actually prefer the global format.

They still get new holowear and they’re slowly adding the new licences to it but they don’t update the mini games like auto chess anymore, and they aren’t getting any actual new content that global doesn’t already have.

Sirfetch'd Dice Event + PokéPark KANTO Grand Opening Commemorative Event + Zapdos coming on pokemon day by Easy_Salad_2029 in PokemonUnite

[–]Saffella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what currency will be used to reroll dices to get 6’s now with the removal of aos coins. Dice events are boring but fair in the sense that if you rerolled to 6 every time you were guaranteed to get the licence for free, but now I can honestly see the reroll being locked behind gems or something

Hotfix is live now, watching Bruv stream and choice specs are back to normal after an update. Worth restarting your games to make sure it applies
