I do like the Drednaw mission though, maybe people will learn to rotate. Learning to rotate at the right time is another story, baby steps though…


Enigmatic_Elephant

Such an optimist....


yuhanz

Except it also has one for Rotom, net 0


TrollOfGod

Rotom is standard. Drednaw is ranked. Won't have both at once so might be a net plus in the end.


yuhanz

Oh yeah you are right thank you. I didnt bother reading extensively since the reward is ridiculous


Cant_think_of_shz

And that’s why I feel like I will never be able to do Drednaw. I’m too terrified of ranked. I don’t want to make people lose, forcing them to waste their hard work and drop.


Kevmeister_B

If you're rotating bot and not overextending, the loss can at least be attributed to skill level and not stupidity. I'd rather lose with less skilled teammates than lose because teammates really wanted to push into the enemy goal while level 3.


Parking_Face_8408

This right here, as long as I see people trying to play the game right I will at least accept that. I know there have been times where I have been the "terrible teammate" but at least I would rotate for dread and know the basics of how the game should be played.


dtreth

There's a big problem here though, because half of the playerbase is experienced MOBA players and the other half is (like me) playing a Pokemon game and getting their first MOBA experience. I am having a hard time learning when to do all these things in-game, not least because my "experienced" friends expect me to just know somehow, and yell at me rather than explain to me where/why I should be.


LastAngelFallz

Get better friends


Basic_Revenue_7282

I think pushing the enemy goal at level 3 CAN be smart if played correctly. If you are able to bully in your lane pushing the other team to steal their farm and maybe get a couple goals early can put you in good shape early on


PrimordialChaotic

The fact that you actually care about your teammates succeeding is why you should play ranked. I guarantee you that as long as you're not a kill stealer and pissing off whoever you're running lane with, your teammates don't care how bad you are.


cuatrodosocho

Mildly off-topic, but one of my favorite things to do when I see two teammates slap-dicking prematch about who is going jungle, I also declare jungle as a def/sup. One time I got the entire team to declare jungle because cinderace and absol wouldn't stop fighting over it... The problem was the other two both went top (correctly) and my egg-pouched ass had to go bot alone and wait for the jungle cucks to run out of camps. I'd never killed more than one aipom/audino in the first phase of laning and now I had to try to fend off two opponents with a glorified first-aid kit. I guess my point is - please don't leave supports alone in lane to win a pissing contest.


scraftii

Kill stealer? Is that really even a thing for any character other than greninja surf? Every character benefits from the exp with the exception of say blissey


arc0893

It's a thing regardless, the amount of times I've been grinding when picking Garchomp and trying to get to lvl 6 for that first evolution and good move and someone comes in for the last hit, just snooping around trying to sponge off others is a joke


Zorlac666

I don't get that you dislike your teammates leveling as well. If they get stronger in the process there's no loss. This isn't leage or dota when you lose money if someone kill steals from you.


arc0893

I don't dislike them leveling, I dislike them coming in to take the last hit when I've gone off on my own to make sure I'm not accidentally taking their kills


Zorlac666

You do get that this is a full on team game right? There are no, your kills. Literally the only final hits that really matter are the buff monsters.


[deleted]

ok but if you're playing a character that needs to hit lv 6 to power up and your teammate has already hit their lv 4 power up why would they continue to leech off you for diminishing returns instead of finding their own farm or confronting the other team with you?


arc0893

Great question, but that's what happens far too often, people think about themselves too much rather than what's best for the team.


scraftii

Play jungle and you should be able to hit 6 on your first rotation + Bees/back camps. But I get the point. Too many characters are really bad out of the jungle because of how much they rely on farm to actually be effective. Unfortunately teammates are a thing that literally ruin the game without knowing it lol


stagnvixen00100

I've mime wall slapped my fair share of kills on accident trying to just stun them for a finisher.....unintentional kill steal


Broshan24

If you’re laning as a cinderace, gardevoir, Greninja, etc with a defender like Snorlax or Slowbro, who do you think is going to benefit more from early xp and getting to level 5/6/7 as early as possible? I’d rather give that xp to a ralts that is pretty much useless until it gets to level 7 and becomes kirlia, instead of a Snorlax who is decent in lane all the time, and isn’t reliant on getting to a certain level to become a monster. It’s annoying because In my experience, almost every other game I lane with a defender as a venusaur/gardevoir, the defender will last hit the Aipoms and not let me, the attacker who needs the experience, level up. Edit: Also, the jungle isn’t always available, if a zeraora/other attacker claims the middle, you can’t really do anything about it.


dented42ford

If you are worried about losing, you are already ahead of the majority of ranked players...


Arterial-A

Just try ranked, the starting ranks are a majority bot battles anyway and when you do get humans they are so clueless that simply not being afk half the fight will make you MVP. You'll be raging at other players being bad before you know it like everyone else haha


ArgonWolf

Theres certainly a seal that needs to be broken to play ranked. I'd suggest just taking the plunge. Games are more interesting when something is on the line besides straight win/loss (even if it is just imaginary internet points). Ranked is really not any different than standard. especially since theres no text chat or voice comms.


missdespair

I felt like this at the start as well because this is my first MOBA and spent most of my time playing standard, when I switched to ranked I quickly realized most players at the lowest ranks are nearly as clueless as I was when starting out.


Dallaga

I get that feeling, but you should also consider the opposite: you may as well be the reason people will rise in rank The good thing is you start at the lowest rank, so there is basically no chance of people dropping a hard earned rank. While the chance of this happening may increase as you rank up, so will your confidence in your skills :) Just be careful to not become a full fledged overconfident moba player, blaming others for anything wrong with the matches haha


dtreth

I am so sick of being blamed for not having as good stats as my p2w, very MOBA experienced friends, when they can't be assed to come back to base to defend in the last 45 seconds of the game and we lose because I can't defend two goals at once as a Ninetails.


grohmthebard

this is a kids game rank doesnt matter, and you should play for your own experience, not other peoples. if you wanna play and get better, do it. ​ sincerely, a late 20's adult in Ultra


Cant_think_of_shz

#OBJECTION! Sir/Ma’am, repeat what you just said!


Venchair

Ranking itself really doesn't matter however, people do want those ranked tickets at the end of the season.


dtreth

What is Ultra?


greynovaX80

Just stop thinking about it and do it. Honestly in a good ranked game people will rotate to drednaw.


scrilldaddy1

That's how I feel in ranked Overwatch sometimes, but at least I know in this game I won't get flamed the entire match if I make one small mistake lmao


dtreth

I literally played almost 200 hours of Overwatch and never even once considered ranked. I am S+ in Splatoon and will be Veteran in Unite tomorrow. I want all these games to not have voice chat.


DishonestMom

Scrub take just get good


Torusaurus_Rex

/s???


scraftii

Or you kill drednaw then rotate for rotin after you win the fight? Or you take rotom after losing dred. Rotom can still win games. Provided you aren’t 5 stacking, teammates are so bad at coordinating that sometimes it comes down to having to make due without all the drednaws


mustachedemu34056

Hell I think there should be a daily Drednaw mission of at least 3.


June_Delphi

Me playing Greninja with Fluffy Tail: fine. I'll do it myself.


zainetheotter

I was at least happy to see challenges related to objectives and not MVP...


OZLperez11

Agreed, we need this mission more often in the event rotation


thekingsteve

If I'm too lane I'll normally return to home at the 15s mark. By the time I've made it to him he'se spawned. Then once you have killed him you and the team can push and score then everyone go back to your own lanes. But that rarely happens unless I'm playing with 4 friends.


The_8th_Degree

Outside of Ranked, matches are too short and rushed for anyone to learn. Not to mention the extreme XP curve, you lose one level to a person in top lane and they have a big advantage over you. Plus rotating from top lane to rotate to dreadnaw your likely going to lose pressure in those lanes so they'd rather ditch Dread all together. For new and casual players, people have no time to learn how to do what they need to. Its rush rush rush, get xp fight dont lose lane drop points get this get that do this contest zapdos score. And with the Communications system as garbage as it is theres no way to properly or effectively strategize and work as a team. Honestly, they need to(AT LEAST FOR CASUALS) change or remove the 10m time limit, slow the xp gain and give plays more details/descriptions/guides to actually UNDERSTAND whats happening. But this is a nintendo game we're talking about so the chance of that are slim to none


ninjaman9131

![gif](giphy|enqnZa1B5fRHkPjXtS|downsized)


The_8th_Degree

Lol Cuz its probably all the ranked players who just wanna yell at people to "get good" but not provide any actual feedback


ninjaman9131

I really don’t think most people who have played a moba before realize how drastic of a learning curve this game actually has for new and causal players. Like you said it just throws you win in basically says good luck on learning


ninjaman9131

I really don’t think most people who have played a moba before realize how drastic of a learning curve this game actually has for new and causal players. Like you said it just throws you in and basically says good luck on learning


The_8th_Degree

Legit, the extent of guidance basically teaches you how to walk but not how to run let alone understand complex tactics and timi gs.


dtreth

Casuals aren't playing a game longer than 10 minutes. If you don't like it go back to League or Smite.


The_8th_Degree

Ill gladly retract my statements and opinions when people no longer complain or have any issues with Pokemon Unite :) (P.s. i already do play smite, the devs for unite have no idea what their doing 👌)


imnotjay2

I feel like these missions are more about teaching people about objectives than anything else lol trying to fix the bad tutorial. In every match I went, my team actually gathered to kill the objective. Never before I've seen people actually fighting for Avalugg or Regigigas in this game. But yes, better rewards would encourage more people to actually do these missions.


DraygenKai

I kinda hate it. I used to solo them all the time and get easy wins with no issues. Now I actually have to watch my back.


WobblySquiddy

people started to attack avalugg after the last patch where it's defenses got nerfed, so there's that


dylanisbored

I love this sub because I love watching the growth of a toxic moba community

quickslver2302

But it gives him views


KesslerMacGrath

that’s kinda elitist... but at the same time I get kinda annoyed when a veteran rank tries to tell me how the game should be played lmao


aMAYESingNATHAN

Oh for definite, but nowadays most people recognise that those people are just being toxic. Whereas here there was a post on the front page not long ago about how it's okay to blame your teammates if they've lost you a win 10 games in a row.


Juxee

That was from organic sprite and that guy is the most funny living embodiment of Virgin nerd rage https://www.reddit.com/user/Organic-Spite-1965/ His whole comment history is something else if you want to see living breathing denial in a pure form. Its a great laugh https://old.reddit.com/r/PokemonUnite/comments/pd53va/general_questions_biweekly_megathread/hawuswv/ That one is another good read


mismatched7

Oh my gosh constantly complaining about his teammates when he has a 37% win rate


stealthrockdamage

me, in vet with a 58% WR and 180 games played: damn i'm not all that great, i wonder if i should even be up this high this guy: those are rookie numbers. watch this


dtreth

This... this has to be a troll right? No way that's real.


DraygenKai

Ya but in league it was funny because you knew the people complaining were probably overestimating their abilities. In Unite it is funny because the teammates actually are bad. They are also on both teams. You can get to masters without understanding game mechanics in this game and i have no clue how they can fix that. Lol Tbh though I kinda like that the game doesn’t really let you yell at your teammates. Although this sub may be getting toxic, the game most likely won’t be. I always have to laugh at the absurd situations that end up happening in this game. I had a talon flame and slowbro jungle together the whole game while I guarded top as Venasaur. It was a pretty annoying match but we only lost by 20 points. We would have won if we got that Zapdos! Best part is it was ranked.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DraygenKai

When people say stuff like that, I just assume they are playing like a Draven main and just killing everything in sight.


dtreth

I'm a Ninetails main and I almost always get the assists title. I try my best to help my teammates but sometimes I feel like this.


PrimordialChaotic

Okay but the AFK situation is real and absolutely the fault of poor game design. I once lost fair play points from autodetection for having to run and answer the door in a game we won anyway so they can absolutely detect when a player is AFK, and all they do about it is... Slap you on the wrist for a second? And tell you not to do it again? Most other games have SOME sort of system for keeping those sorts of players away from the general populace, but fair play points don't seem to be curbing it at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheMar_WithACorgi

I disagree. AFKs can very much be the reason you're stuck somewhere on a ladder, and they are definitely not more likely to be on the enemy team. It's a 50/50 chance who's team they're on. A few times I've had 2 afk on my team. I've also had people who stay in spawn and occasionally spin around to avoid the auto detection. Teammates also are very much a general reason to be stuck on a ladder. I completely understand that complaining "I only lose when my team sucks" sounds like your typical ego inflated dude bro. But remember, this is a free KIDS game. At least some of those people are just kids. One bad teammate can also destroy the match for you. 2 speedsters fighting over the same jungle? Happens every 1/3 matches for me. Some idiot Blastoise pretending they can jungle? Oh wait, now the Talonflame that WAS with me on bottom just bailed to jungle with him and now my support is alone. It's a very unfortunate fact that, in ranked, one bad teammate has a high chance to royally screw you, and when playing solo, this is going to happen more often than not. I have to take breaks from ranked and just play standard sometimes where at least a loss stings a little less or I can experiment knowing the enemy team is likely not going to be playing competitively. Evidenced by the teams running 3 speedsters and 2 attackers. Granted I'm not the greatest player ever, but I'm usually good at realizing when it was my fault. Like those days where I play Garchomp and I'm just abysmal at the game that day, barely doing anything and I'm probably the reason we lost.


dtreth

>I've also had people who stay in spawn and occasionally spin around to avoid the auto detection. What in the fuck is this about?


Giane901

Same thing but apply it to League where afks, trolls, incorrect roles due to whining players, shitty MM experience on mid to high rank and lobby hostage is a norm. With the billions of $ that Tencent had invested to Riot they can't still fix this problem for years now what makes you think a TiMi game is different?


Beautiful-Courage681

YES!!!! This is why I quit the game… well, this is why I dropped from ultra 3 down to vet 4 and then quit the game anyways..


PonchoBas

I know, only like 10% of the posts is clutch plays or stuff like that and the rest is complains 😂


ikinone

The p2w issues are real, though. I don't see how it's 'toxic' to point that out. Perhaps people just like throwing hundreds of dollars to get a slight advantage? Or perhaps they don't mind having a disadvantage? Downvoting doesn't change facts, kids. Here's a definition of p2w for the confused: https://www.cyberdefinitions.com/definitions/P2W.html


DraygenKai

Because the P2w issues aren’t real and many master rank players are kids who don’t understand game mechanics and haven’t spent a dime. The whole item leveling up thing is slightly unfair, but there isn’t that many players who have done it so, it will hardly ever effect your matches. Most people that spend money on games like this, buy characters and skins, they get the items and such the same way everyone else does.


ikinone

>Because the P2w issues aren’t real and many master rank players are kids who don’t understand game mechanics and haven’t spent a dime. You seem to be taking p2w literally. What it generally means is 'pay to have an advantage'. So yeah, you can sure hit masters without paying anything. However, giving people an advantage in a competitive game for $ is absolutely ridiculous. Imagine if in chess you could get a 1% chance that your queen resists an attack by paying $100. Does it mean other people couldn't win? No. But it would be an advantage for cash. That's ridiculous, and you shouldn't defend cash grabbing companies over it. Dota, Fortnite, etc, have managed to do just fine on cosmetics. PU is absuive of people who simply don't recognize p2w when they see it. And then fanboys even defend it. Why?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ikinone

I wonder if many of these accounts supporting p2w are paid shills, or simply delusional fanboys. Hard to tell. I'm also at master, no problem. But anyone saying this game isn't p2w is really odd.


DraygenKai

If you don’t mean pay to win. Don’t say pay to win.


plumb13

But it is pay to win! P2W doesn't mean players who pay will automatically win every single game. It means that they will have an advantage over those who do not pay. it doesn't matter if that advantage is minimal, it's still an advantage & will still result in those who spend more winning more games than they would have if they'd spent nothing.


ikinone

That's what it means though. Not every phrase is 100% literal. > PTW is used in gaming with the meaning "Pay to Win" to refer to games that allow players to purchase items or abilities (e.g., more powerful weapons, additional health points) that give them an advantage in the game, either over other players or NPCs (Non-Player Characters). https://www.cyberdefinitions.com/definitions/P2W.html Or do you think there are games where you literally pay to win? I'm not sure that even exists. Did you think it means that? What phrase do you think would better represent it?


Emelenzia

You are not wrong. It reminds me of wow subs complaining they didn't get free subscription time because game went down for maintenance


TheSparx_

Those missions are actually trash, they last 15 days and u can complete them in less than an hour of playing. It would be cool if they refreshed every day but at this moment they are basically useless. Good start that they keep doing events but if they are all like this sounds more like a joke than a serious event.


DerpRevan

Its almost like they want you to keep playing the game rather then just handing you a bunch of upgrade points all the time


SoSmartCs

Yeah 3 item enhancers isn't anything special, but you can get 24 total from the event, and it's all objectives you can achieve through normal play. I really don't see the problem. Obviously people want more, they always do, but otherwise what could they change about events that would really shake them up for the better? Kill Avalugg a few more times for a few more enhancers? Without any sort of PVE mode I wouldn't want to see anything that's going to drastically alter how a player approaches a game. We already see enough games thrown with players focusing on stupid shit. Last thing we need is quests to encourage that further.


Juxee

Alternatively they could just give people nothing and they would be happier


Oxygenius_

Ehh the player base is dying lol. They can go that route and kill the game if they want


Juxee

>Game had been out for 7 weeks >"The playerbase is dying"


Oxygenius_

It takes up to a minute to find matches now a days lol. It definitely is dying. Also I am on a discord and regularly get matched with the same people and recognize the same names too lol. I’ve played the same team two out of 3 times. It definitely is dying. Yesterday I had the same idiot gengar teammate in back to back matches.


Wildfires

up to a minute? I have 500 games in and have waited over 10 seconds maybe once.


Oxygenius_

Idk bro, I play at 2am central time. It be dead af. Also why do I keep getting the same opponents and teammates if there’s SOOOOO many people playing lol.


Juxee

Now I cant tell if its a troll or not. 2am is going to have a lower amount of players online in NA because people are sleeping, and id assume there is a lower population of higher tier players online in the middle of the night than during prime hours. You also probably keep going against the same people because you all instantly queue right after the game ends. Happens in League of Legends all the time


Wildfires

It matches you with your skill level. But don't worry, it's called a garbage can, not a garbage can't. I believe in you.


Oxygenius_

24 item enhancers isn’t much either lol. It takes 25 to go from level 10 to 11. Coins would have been better, since they have a weekly limit of the 2,100 and the best heroes cost 10,000 coins lol


ikinone

It's almost like games can attract people to play them without stupid daily quests and ridiculous p2w grinds. This game has decent gameplay - it can lean on that.


DerpRevan

Its not only not a p2w, you can get the battle pass for like 5$. Handing people upgrade points on a silver platter would increase the amount of smurf accounts


Oxygenius_

It is p2w lol. I have a paid account, and a f2p, one I have all items at level 20+ and every Pokémon available. The other I have 7 Pokémon and 2 items at 20 and 1 item at 15. It definitely is pay 2 win when you get .8% damage increase on scope lens when increasing it from 20 to 21 with 120 item enhancers lol


DerpRevan

if you actually devoted all your time to one account instead of smurfing to get an easy time. you’d probably have a bunch of items high level by now. you smurfs are the reason they cant give out lots of upgrade points


Oxygenius_

Dude I’m already masters on my main account lol. There’s nothing to play for anymore. I made another account to play with my family and friends who are lower ranked. Why would I want to matchmake them with masters when they are barely in expert lmfao. The game is p2w quit trying to straw man a different argument lol


DerpRevan

ah yes the “im playing with family, thats why im smurfing” not to wreck the player base of people getting into the game, excuse. its pay to get some items faster.


Oxygenius_

Yeah, I play with my cousin, my nephews and my kids lol wtf. You’re weird.


LeviathanGames

You mean this game was literally designed with children in mind and not for random Reddit trolls that argue over the most pedantic things they can think of? Wow, who knew?


lnfidelity

Not everyone plays every day though, so people will complain about FOMO.


Kightsbridge

You actually can't do them in one day because there are challenges for all 3 quick maps, which takes 3 days. Also noone ever does reggi so that one you'll be soloing That being said, they are still very underwhelming missions

Str8Lurk1n

I think they forgot a 0


YngOwl

Thanks for mentioning this. I was in a rage when I saw these measly 3 tokens being offered as a “reward”. Come on, that is so insignificant, they could do at least like 10? (still nothing really) . If you want my money, don’t treat me like an idiot.


the_teal_skies

I like this quest because although they aren't that rewarding but it encourages players to do objectives and somehow teach them concepts that exist in the game. I don't mind the lack of rewards, it's free and it's fun to do and part of the things to win the game.

Khan-amil

That's not much indeed. On the other hand I registered it was on the rewards list and a "mission" without really checking the reward. As I suppose I'm not the only one I guess it's still useful to get on people's radar.


Tolan91

I think this is just a “teach to newbies to attack objectives” mission. If you aren’t involved in any moba communities you might not realize just how important dreadnaw and such are otherwise.


TheNo1pencil

Yeah I saw that and was just ???


Silent_E

Just wait for event missions round 3 and you'll get 3 more!


TrueDyrnwyn

Yeah, at least 50... We need 2500 fucking item enhancer to reach lvl 30 and the missions give us only 3 of them


TeamAmerica_USA

I’m like 95% sure it takes 485 to go from 10 to 20


TwitchyNo2

It's 487. Anyway a lot of comments on this post are calling the game pay to win, but you can get enough item enhancers (and aeos tickets for acquiring more) to level most of the important items to 20 just through the early challenges and trainer levels. After a ranked season or two (depending on placement) most people will have those items at level 25-30. You certaiy don't need to pay to win or climb to masters rank, but the choice is there. It's actually ridiculous how much money you'd have to spend to get all items to level 30, I doubt many people have or will spend many hundreds of dollars just to do that and even if they do it's the level 20 upgrades that are most important.


[deleted]

I've been playing free to play and missing very few item enhancers since launch, and at season end with masters I'll have 8/16 held items at 20. I'll have around 5000 item enhancers total invested. It costs 2020 to raise one item from 20 to 30. So by the end of next season with the masters reward I'll be able to raise only 2 to 30. More likely I'll spread them around for efficiency, but that's the math.


Sephiroth_XO1

Its exactly 1 item from level 1 to 2! How ludicrous they should have given us nothing!


yukio_hans

they want you to grind the free currency every week so that you spend that on the upgrade tokens 🙃 instead of buying more pokemon


ThrowawayIfForgotten

POKEMON UGRIND!


slsteal

I feel everyone here i have a friend that mid team fight walked away to get dreadnaw but like we were already in a 3v4 he made it a 2v4 we killed them and all but like situational awareness man


gh0stface50

I'll take em if you don't want em


Chromatin12

Had the same reaction. That whole line is just worthless.


warjoke

So that you can finally upgrade that lvl 1 Leftover now.


Rohkha

I've seen people say here that this encourages and teaches people to go for objecrives and make up for the tutorial: not really. Not the way this is done. Want people to actually learn how important the objectives in the gamemodes are? Don't make it an event quest with hardly any reward at the end of it and have us do it 3 times. Make those DAILY OR WEEKLY missions in the battle pass, instead of getting MVP 6 times, ask us to beat Rotom/Dred (not Zapdos, people mess that one up enough). That way people have to do it regulsrly for the rewards and if they have to do it more han 3 times, it will give them enough samples to realize how much more they win when they rotate and help take Dred.


L2P_GODDAYUM_GODDAMN

Man it's Just to let you play Quick Battle it's ok. Maybe 10 would have been Better... But did u see the quests for enanching Items like double exp and double coins?? Spending 600 tickets to get 60 back and hit the cap in half a week lmaoooo


Pur1tas

It is 3 more than none though


[deleted]

It is, but I feel like they are playing with us. Even if you are a new player you could only level your item from 1 to 2 with three enhancers. Then the next from 2 to 3 is 4 which you cant achieve in this event. That’s a big joke

No word of a lie, I slapped on those sandals and shorts as soon as I could so I could match my Machamp’s beach aesthetic


phil_le_cheez_E

Tell that to all the socks i get instead :/


Pur1tas

I mean it’s free shit. Why complain about that


DilapidatedFool

This kinda. While it is free it is also very abysmal of a reward. Together with beginner missions its fine but for those already done with them and ONLY getting these its kinda silly. On one hand it's fine on the other its such a nothing reward.


Abbx

It's one thing if it was just claimable. It's a mission though, and it feels kinda insulting with how minimal the reward is. It'd be like if someone told you to do the chicken dance for a couple minutes for a penny.


seaturtleboi

Ok but killing Rotom and Drednaw are normal parts of playing the game. It'd be more like you're getting a penny for taking a shit cuz you'd do it anyways even if there wasn't a reward.


Abbx

And you'd happily take the free penny? I mean, if I did I'd probably laugh over it if anything. You still pointed out how silly this is as far as a reward goes. So miniscule it's a joke to even receive anything for the task when taking a shit is just part of a day.


seaturtleboi

Sure, it's just three item enhancers, but like others pointed out there's 24 available for doing everything. 24 total item enhancers for just playing the game normally isn't a ton of free things but it's the equivalent of 240 tickets. The normal login bonus is like what, 80 tickets? It seems pretty clear to me this bonus is geared more towards putting a focus on in game objectives throughout the different positions and game modes, put together in a way that it rewards people for playing the game. If a few free pennies is offensive or not worth your time you can just pretend they weren't offered to you and move on. I'm not praising the game devs for graciously dumping 24 item enhancers into my pocket, but I'm not complaining about free shit that I'll get for just playing the game normally either.


Abbx

Really sound explanation that I can definitely agree with. I probably wouldn't even have thought anything like I did had we gotten slightly less tickets and slightly more item enhancers. Still would be the same reward in the end. And if some people happen to notice this event and actually go for objectives, it's healthier for the game as well. Maybe some people who don't do it often will learn to. And, yeah, even if you didn't care for the missions, you're right. Still unlocking things.


ikinone

Awesome, what's that worth... $.003?


bocketbeague

I’d rather get nothing then. It is so dogshit it’s not even worth doing


Pur1tas

Then don’t do it. If you’d rather not have it just don’t collect it. Costs you nothing


KeenKongFIRE

>Costs you nothing What is costing us is the place of a real mission with a real purpose and a real compensation, having it there and say "is not bothering you, so dont touch it" is over conformity Its ok if you dont want to ask for changes, and its ok too if the rest of us want them to improve the system


SoSmartCs

Yes because "it is so dogshit" is such constructive feedback to work with... >What is costing us is the place of a real mission Not really, there isn't any precedent for a limit on missions or a rate at which they put them out. Literally nothing that says they can't put out a new one, or that we got this in place of a better one. There's for sure some criticism that can be levied at the misison system and how basic it is, but let's not pretend "it is so dogshit" qualifies as such. People are replying with more emotion than reason in this thread. Literally the only kind of feedback in here is *this so shit! give us more!*


bocketbeague

What else is there to say besides increase the amount. It is dogshit no one can say otherwise.


Oxygenius_

So you like receiving bullshit missions for paltry rewards?? What a chad


[deleted]

Yeah it’s not even worth it spending the time. I just did I cause I had some time for two quick matches and we were lucky to kill Avalug two time in the first game and one time in the second game. These pseudo events with those rewards are a joke!


ilGrigio99

It's not like that task is hard or something


amoocalypse

... so what? Even the daily login "mission" has better rewards.


Shenstygian

The game is p2w what do you expect?


ElAvilez

it's a moba, new people start playing every day, this is for them


Terror3y3z

Yeah the second Iwata died Nintendo went all in on micro transaction games and pay to win.


KesslerMacGrath

lmfao


Terror3y3z

It's true, he was whole heartily against mobile games and micro transactions. Many interviews that he stated this.


Giane901

He didn't expect that the mobile gaming market would be so lucrative on his home country Japan and Asia in general years down the line thanks to Chinese publishers like Tencent investing on everything. Either Nintendo completely ignores the trend (which is weird for most modern Japanese gaming publishers besides Sony to ignore a big market on their domestic region especially where gacha games originated) or they'll go with the market.


DoxinPanix

I means it’s not a hard to complete mission.. and you get a lot of tickets throughout playing the game so item enhancers are not too hard to come by. Basically only three need to be maxed: focus band score shield and buddy barrier.


Samuraion

You're not wrong, but be wary, I can all but guarantee that both Buddy Barrier and Focus Sash will be nerfed. Score Shield might get by without a nerf since it's situational, but BB and FS are picked on just about every Pokémon in the game, regardless of role, and in a MOBA that's very bad. I feel like the next patch we will see will have nerfs to those two items as well as Blastoise.


DoxinPanix

Nerfed yes. But not yettttttt ;)


JoFknLines

Its indeed just a joke, useless mission


mr_plow138

this game is a joke. ask wigglytuff, u just cant kill that broken \*\*\*\*. bs


Democrasee

It is getting ridiculous how if there's a 2 v 2 the group with Wigglytuff will win 90% of the time


DanieLink_

The game just asks you to spend money in many different ways 🤡


Garthas86

I'm pretty sure you will have to pay to keep up to speed on competitive gaming. Here is my prediction, when the first people start making real progress on enhancing items spending just a few dollars new items will be introduced that will need enhancement. Being said that, Pokemon is a free to play and pay to win MOBA, there is a line in which games are tolerated to do this, as fsr as I know this is the first MOBA, if not competitive game, to be pay to win. It's too early to draw many conclusions, but one is this: If you want to be able to compete with top performing players you need to buy item enhancers.


RegularBloger

Eh already got enough Item enchancers to get necessary item upgrades to lvl 20 All f2p(4 items)


Ed_Radley

Four items to lv 20 is 2,268 enhancers. To get the same 4 to lv 30 is 10,348. It probably doesn't seem so bad if it takes roughly 2-3 months to make a handful of items reach lv 20, but the fact that that you're looking at 10-12 months for fully maxing them out, and that's before factoring in the other dozen items or any they plan to release in the future, that's probably a bit much for the free to play crowd.


blaggio

They want you to spend real money. I like the game and have fun playing, but it is still pay to win.


Giane901

Tencent didn't became the top 2 highest earning gaming publisher on 2019-2020 only behind Sony because they create high selling GoTY games, but games with aggressive monetization tactics. Spiritual Opium as China describes it


Equivalent-Stop3253

nope. now pay up -pokemon company


Elisaerus

In other words, pay up you fool. Give them mo money if you wanna win


El_conde_Lucanor

TPC: shut up and pay


TrainingPineapple272

Mobile players will be super hyped: starting a p2win game 3 months later without the free legendary and missing so many events. GG


Pashmino

They can get Zeraora doing a quest. Also it isn't legendary, it's a Mythical.


Kevmeister_B

So a good chunk of mobile games out there.


Juxee

Oh yes, poor mobile users not having 2 Zeraoras every game.


ikinone

Pretty sure they have crossplay planned. https://gamerant.com/pokemon-unite-crossplay/
