      @nojorooney Год назад +10

      There should be some big changes to matchmaking if that’s possible but I also think that people who spam ping thanks should be stopped from playing for a short amount of time, maybe they will stop playing entirely for that day, or wait out the timer, it could definitely help calm them down and be ready to play another match if they really want to keep going

      Avoid team mate button with a list of atleast 200 people. I mean it. There are so many griefers/trolls in my games which makes me rage sometimes so hard i have to take a break from playing. And that's a shame because i love this game.
      A moba AND pkmn game?! Sign me up! I was so hyped when this game was announced and played a lot when it came out. Had tons of fun with my unite starter talonflame (pls buff my bird).
      Also get rid of surrender vote as much needed i totally agree with you on every point u said.

      As you were talking about the pings I had the idea of setting a maximum of 10-20 pings over the course of the entire match, and after that you get no more messages
      Also I think they need to actually filter the voice comm reports, I have turned on my voice chat in the last 20 seconds of the game and say “that was a great game team, we got ahead early and kept our compose through that final fight, enjoyed playing with you all” and then got reported, like there needs to be something that actually checks for negativity

    In terms of the surrender vote, once there's 2 red (or a garunteed non-surrender) it should just vanish.
    Also, the person who surrendered previously should have a longer cooldown on the nest surrender. 1:30 minutes between surrenders? force them (the players who will generally spam surrenders) wait longer, 2:30~3:00 min.

      They should just make it so the first 3 pings every match are free while the rest cost 1 fair point each. You get 5 back every match or something so you can use up to 8 if you play normally. If you want to spam or go afk you go into the negative until you fall below 80

      Unfortunately that'd only work if they also adjusted fair play points to actually mean something, as it stands right now its pretty much this game's swear jar.
      What they could do is increase the reward to 300 a day making every point worth 1 coin. That way well mannered players are rewarded with effectively double weekly coins, and the truly tilted become the guy/gal shoving bills into the jar.

    The sad thing is when you actually try to be helpful with pings calls and people interprets it as you being annoying/tilted. Or pinging a specific place before an objective spawns in there a couple times before they appear. I would pay for situational commands like "Rayquaza is spawning in X seconds be careful". But I mean, removing them altogether would not be a bad call given they're mostly ignored for one reason or another...

    A big change I would be welcome to see is lane Queues. Unite is one of those few rare games where you absolutely need a certain amount of people in each lane. While movement is flexible, generally every game needs two top, two bottom, and one mid. A way to guarantee that would be super nice.

      it'd be cool if Unite had a karma system because then, they could encourage good karma by letting you unlock licenses by grinding good deeds. Like, they could add Victini but only if you do challenges that promote good karma, such as winning 20 matches with a friend, and healing 500k damage in one day, and Scoring 2k points in a 30 hours. Then, if you do things that lower your karma like going AFK or pinging the same message 5+ times, they'll retract some points and you'll lose access to progressing in certain challenges until you increase your karma.
      Basically what I'm saying is this game NEEDS to encourage good behavior far more than it does as of now.

    I don't want to silence the messages thingy because how I'm supposed to communicate with my teammates if I don't have a Micro. Sometimes I need backup or said, "wait for our allies", "leave the defense to me", while my team is focusing on scoring, "Retire", "lets fight this objective together", "Check this out" (sometimes the jungle forgot to jungle or when Rayquaza fight is about to start, it is a reminder), " My Unite is ready to go" etc. It's really good to keep some lv of communication with my teammates.

    Just want to provide a different PoV as someone who mostly fills in a support ot defender role when no one else will. I mostly use the ping system when I need help, I've had countless games where I'm meant to be sharing top or bottom lane and the attacker just wanders off, either trying to fight the jungler for resources or going somewhere else where they aren't really needed at the time, pinging I need backup is the only thing I can do, specially when you're defending a lane by yourself against 2+ pokemon, so had to learn pretty fast how to be able to ping every 5 seconds, because most the time no one will respond at all, normally at the start when it doesn't look like there's anyone else in my lane I just say it once, and if I'm being ignore ramp it up, I don't just start spamming it out the gate. So if people had the ability to mute pings from the start of each game then I'd be even more screwed. Second when I have games like the one mentioned above and the enemy team is steamrolling my lane with no one else trying to back me up then the game is clearly a lost cause so the next best thing I can do it accept the game is a lost cause and surrender, having to play an entire game where you're the only one trying to defend a lane is a nightmare and far from fun, so yeah there are situation's where surrendering is needed.

      As a support/defender main myself, in these situations you really just need to follow your team.
      Spam pinging is only wasting your own time especially if they aren't listening.
      Another important skill in Unite that EVERYONE needs to learn is just taking a loss when necessary. So many people will sit on tier 1 goal alone and die against 3 people. In these situations you need to just leave that goal and sit on the tier 2. Otherwise you're just another tick in their Exp pool.
      I've won plenty of support games by just accepting my team doesn't always make the best decisions and trying to empower whatever choices they make.
      This can all be applied to a carry role too, but instead of joining the team when they're pushing for no reason, eat all the farm on the map and be strong for Ray.

    • @knownevildoer

      @@pumpkin7446 you still lose leaving an entire lane undefended. you might as well surrender if they get to your middle goal before zapdos or Rayquaza because it's realistically over once they get it. that's a guaranteed 500 point drop and it doesn't break so instead of having to spread out to different goals they rush in one force at one location. Having all outer goals on one side gone is a death sentence.

    If you mute pings, there has to be an exception for Supports/Defenders pinging "I need backup!". It could have a longer cooldown to reappear, but it happens far too often where as a Support/Defender I get abandoned in-lane just because a lane partner tried to overextend at low health or left to take our jungler's jungle.

    Thank you so much for this. I had been quite disappointed and honestly sad after watching a few recent videos of yours where you blamed things on the playerbase without pointing a single finger at the devs. Now, this is a great step in the right direction imo. The developers need to incentivize good behaviour and punish bad behavior by implementing things in the game. You cannot ask people/players to do this, do that. People will always do what they want whether it is good or bad. Anyways, this video restored a little bit of my faith in you.

    2 major things that would mostly solve this problem:
    - a block list that actually works to prevent players like these from being matched with you in the future
    - more players having map awareness or just looking at the map in general to see where their teammates are or what mobs have spawned

      Like imagine being a sableye main, and every oppponents decides to block you because they do not want to face it, well ur queue times are skyrocketing

    A lot of the reasons you’ve mentioned were the underlying causes as to why I took a 4 month hiatus. I’m one of those players who used to be able to only play an hour or so every few nights otherwise I had to sleep early because I wake up early for work. Encountering endless players who purposely throw the few games I could play a week really got me fed up to where after I made it to master in season 6, I dropped off and didn’t come back until a couple of weeks ago. I take things in stride when I do encounter annoying toxic players, I just chalk it up to bad luck and after the game I block them and do a quick report. My frequency of playing and love of the game cooled down during my break, and I think that’s what a lot of players need is to take breaks from the frustrations of the game and then come back after the stressors are gone.
