Valid point, I played 3 days ago and I am now master ranked. I played competetively on Wild Rift and switched to PU recently. Too easy to climb to what I experienced.
mad facts, I was able to climb to master just from picking it up in 2 months, but when I played league of legends, I'm so bad I got demoted to Iron. Which if you don't know IS BELOW THE STARTING RANK. I'm garbage at mobas yet I'm in the highest ranking?
I believe you’re right! I’d win 1- lose 2- win 5 lose 3. It’s something like that. Because the game 100% is putting low skill players in ranks they can’t keep up in. That or the higher you go the more 3 man’s there are that have 1 carry
I know Game Freak and the Pokémon company doesn't make the game, but this is a trend that is seen in the main games, where they think they know what the players want and the they do whatever they Want without ever listening to us
No, ideally they need to rework a good few characters. Some of them will never be viable, besides solo q, like charizard, scizor, Snorlax and machamp. Never gonna happen tho unfortunately
It's crazy how seemingly every RUclipsr along with most of the community knows what the game needs and the devs take a long time to implement it or they don't. (Glaceon, Mewtwo, Zacian, EX, etc.)
Good points. One thing I've noticed about this game is that it reminds me of the old MW2. I know that's aging me a bit, but I mean the matchmaking. MW2 was fun because you never knew what you were gonna get. You didn't know if you were gonna drop a nuke just joking around or get 2 kills sweating. It made the game addicting. I think the devs understand its player base and are focusing on retention at this point. Im a firm believer that there aren't many people left playing this game. You have top 10k players, and that's about it. Keep in mind that some are pros, and some only play in a squad or the very least a duo. I dont think the game is dying, but if they add a strict matchmaking system, I think it will kill off the game just like they did to all the recent CODS. I dont think people are honest about their skill level because of the current matchmaking or, at the very least, understand where they stand. Once a strict matchmaking system gets implemented, it will remove the highs and lows of the game and make it sweaty. I think the devs know this and are concerned because they have no way of challenging good players without sabotaging their games but If they implement a matchmaking system, it will only widen the gap for new players thus hurting retention. I honestly don't think people understand what they are asking for, but I also dont know how they can fix this game because of its casual nature.
@UniteClimbing Yeah, as much as I love the game, I just don't ever see it becoming truly competitive considering the main support of this game comes from the casual player base. Even with the new draft, you can tell they want to "protect" a certain player base while still giving highly competitive players something to enjoy. I think we all know that not all masters players are equal, but it does give lesser skilled players bragging rights to say they are in the same rank as the pros. Just my 2 cents. I could be way off of course 😅
its also real hard to earn aeos coins as a f2p which forces us to play the same pokemon again and again which gets boring real quick i have quit the game like 5 times bcuz of boredom
This! I have to agree ong. Its so damn tiring to play the same pokemon over and over cuz it stupidly gives a small amount of coin each game. I mean its a-kinda cash grab game considering it cost a bit expensive for some skins with no effects at all. Ughhh
8:47 i don't care about a lot of these things (i'd LOVE a new map every season tho), what really bothers me about this game is the fact 99% of the matches (10 fucking minute matches) are decided in the last 2 minutes because the rayquaza bonus is way too broken, and the bugs they never fix, and also the extremely clear fact that the people behind the game don't give a flying fuck about the players satisfaction, like they don't even try, this is horrible
I already quit this game i used to comeback and everytime i see a broken mon and always unfair matchmaking this game is frustrating i play for fun and this game lost that thing
low skill cap pokemon should not be the strongest in the meta you’re right but they must not be bad too, as much as high skill cap should not be the most broken in the meta just because it’s high skill and harder to play. They must be balanced overall, low/high skill cap is not excuse to make something intentionally better or worse
It should be based off win %. If a pokemon has a high wr and you win you should gain less than say the lowest on the totem poll on wr where top wr get +3-+5 max and low wr gets +7-+10 max bc statistically you'll lose way more than a high wr pokemon. This would mean that greedant/Sable gods would be the best solo q to climb but when it comes to 5 stack it should just be max gain per match is +5 just due to it being oreniatated around people you possibly normally stack with meaning better wrs overall.
@@smurfpoppin4470I'm sorry man that's such an L take. Amount of elo gained should be determined purely on matchmaking and whether you win or lose. Which pokemon you picked or how good they are shouldn't have an impact. If you want to prove you can make it to a really high rank with a statistically underpowered pokemon, the system shouldn't throw you brownie points just for using it. The burden should be on you as a player to show the world that the pokemon is actually cracked when used the proper way. The thing here that's truly cringe is that 5 stack and solo queue share a ranked ladder. They should be separate ladders with separate ranks.
yea i was disappointed to see overlord playing a no-skill mon like leafeon in the grand finals as i love him for being so good at zoroark but these no skill mons are really changing the course of even trying to become "skilled" at the game and it will keep going if they dont stop adding mons and making them broken for awhile every time they release as some people just quit at that point, prob gonna make miraidon op.
I like every point you’ve made! Especially the map part… I’m trying to come back, and this map is bland. It’s too big and too small at the same time. Not every interactive atleast I feel that way. 15 minutes would also be better
about that matchmaking. last week, i was in master around 1400, played a game in ranked and lost. after that game, one of my allies wanted to add me and then i saw his rank, it's ultra. so, yeah. the matchmaking still needs polish. a LOT of polish.
It would probably have a balance issue but a PC client would help get a bigger market, since that's what a majority of moba players outside of mobile play on. Adding draft to rank in general and requiring a character limit would probably be better as thats what most games do.
Pokemon unite being the best Moba ever is a bit rich... The games made to make money and appeal to children. The people who play competitively are like 50 people. MMR is the best system, I'm pretty sure there aren't enough players to justify a higher rank than masters. Aus doesn't even have its own servers, that in itself tells you how unpopular the game is proportionately. The games good in Asia. That's about it. If you love the game this much, you should move to Asia, probably Japan. If you don't, you're gonna waste your life realising what I'm saying is eventually true. Go teach English there and play Pokemon on the side.
Inteleon, Glaceon, Leafeon and Clefable are so incredibly broken it's unreal. Like if I see a Clefable on the other team and we have no healer, I already write-off the game as a loss. I think communication really should be looked at too
Matchmaking really sucks, as i was ranking up from the lowest rank, i notice that matches i lose i went against 1 or more players from a higher rank, whats frustrating is i win 3 games and all of a sudden i get matched up against someone in masters with 2 ultras when im in great rank, thats a 4 rank difference how is that fair, while my teammates are also great rank Another things is trolls, trios or duos that trolls, either that pick attackers and goto the same lane no matter what or they feed and stay lvl 4 while im lvl 8, there is no way to win and they refuse to surrender and let it drag
The last thing I want to say is the emblems system, 2 years in and we don't get a finished and polished emblem system 70% of it is useless buff it or revamp it, it definitely showing sign of a dead moba game in the near future
this was a really well put together summary, but if I were to nitpick one point, it'd be the ADCs being able to output high dmg for what seems like low effort. Now dont get me wrong, glaceon has been sitting in the forefront of the meta for awhile, mons like dpult tend to roam around that as well (then there was M2 Y as well), I agree that they dont advocate for high micro skill as they are simple characters. But I think the fact that these pokemon exchange high micro skill for high macro skill (knowing how to position themselves within a teamfight to get the most mileage out of them) shouldnt be overlooked as well when comparing them to mons like Zoro, Scyther, Dodrio whom require more individual skill to make the most out of them and Top Players who use these 2 distinct character classes. For added ex. Cinderace and Duraludon rn are ADCs whom are simple on the surface but again, are reliant on the player knowing map awareness and positioning to get the most out of them, on top of the fact they do much less dmg compared to Dpult in a short AoT, which leaves them more prone to getting killed by the overabundance of Assassins/Snipers that sit at the throne of the meta overall while they need to do their job at fighting Supports/Juggernauts/Tanks. Glaceon imo is the only outlier where I agree in needing to be toned down for an ADC in some fashion, perhaps reworking the passive to not be an invis and reducing the range of icicle spear. But we shouldnt falt how ADCs in general are designed as their job is to pump out high sustained DPS quickly to smash through frontlines. (While were at it, buff cinderace and greninja to be able to contend with their peers as auto attackers).
Agreed with these points, adcs are not unique to this game and while they're extremely powerful, they're also very easy to kill if they make a single positioning error. Playing the game is about far more than just pushing the buttons. I do want Glaceon and dragapult nerfs but only small nerfs, I don't want them gutted. And buff the others as you say.
Another reason why so many players are in master is because of bot matches. Since most of the player base are in master, new players on low ranks have NO ONE to match so bot match. New players join -> no players to match with -> bot match -> master Repeat
A lot of good points. Although the draft part was commented before we know how it is really implemented. I think, it is probably separate queue, which is unlocked when reached 1400 rating. That way if you queue up to draft mode, you know you are getting draft game.
@@KawaiiMimi778 that's why I am thinking so. BUT ElChicoEevee can’t know what is happening in server side. Similar way 1-3 stack and 5 stack players are in separate queue but can be in same match after matchmaking.
I quit the game this season, and all my friends too. We endured through the lie-letter, mewtwo x and Y, the noob season and all. But the noob season to continue with the ex return, that were forbidden in ranked last season, is too much. I feel every argument you bring in the video. The map is now boring after two years, is anoying to be in master 1400+ and just have 3 kinds of matches, 1) with a player that has no idea on how the game works, 2) just die a hundred times to a buffed-of-the-season or a bit grown Ex and find myself in a 1 x 5 goals at 6min. 3) or be completely bored in the overpowered team where every player gets more than 10 kills. Alongside with the lack of minimal love in the free skins (they just change the color?!), the infestation of generic all-rounders. I wont lie, I endured a lot, more than 11k battles. But now I just want the jump assemble to come and make me forget unite.
You do realize that for a dollar players can avoid ranking down. That’s likely the cause for a 49% WR player to be 1600. Because I’ve only ever gotten to 1600 once in the 2 years I’ve been playing and my WR was 57%
The biggest issue is just them having terrible idea on how to balance their own game. Both in Pokémon and matchmaking. Pokémon although in public beta test barely ever get any actual feedback that’s useful due to the beta being in a secluded area where most people need a VPN to access it, and any response is barely ever considered except if a Pokémon is way too weak. Secondly, matchmaking needs to become more skill based instead of getting people to a win rate between 50-55%, I essentially had to quit a season where I was a top 5000 ranking player due to solo queue. The mmr hit after I had achieved around 1750 in master points within 200 games (very unusual with mmr) so unless you exclusively queue 3 or 5 stack you have no way of consistently climbing without playing an ungodly amount of games. (Around 400-500 is average for a higher ranking position via solo queue) so unless the matchmaking gets changed to skill based,solo or duo queue is. screwed
I think they just simply dont care enough abt this game to make changes. This is shown season after season Regarding ppl competing at tournaments using lower skill pokemon - I feel like they should give a set of playable pokemon per match. If u wanna compete at competition, u might as well be familiar with everyone on the roster Why do mons like Duraludon, Tsareena, Decidueye keep getting ignored?
These points have been mentioned multiple times by MOBA players who used to play this game since its release. Unite is too focused of keeping the game a casual money grabbing mobile/switch game, Timi had the player capacity to make it harder for people to rank up from their current rank and create a differentiator in skill, but they took too long to do that alongside balancing their mons and items(Luca, venu, buddy barrier back then) and many other features that game lacks, or are unnecessary such as the unite squads, there isn't a shop for it with unique items you can buy with clan currency, no weekend tournaments(CLASH from LOL) for unite squads to face against each other, No custom UI to make the mobile minion button bigger and change positions alongside the rest like in Mobile legends or Arena of valor, no option to reduce the graphics on switch unlike the mobile version, forcing players to use ticket currency and enhancements to upgrade items that should be given for free with max lvl 20 instead of 30, no solo/duo QUE with its own ladder, no separate ranks with their own pokemon theme like at 1600 mmr in masters you could be a Gym Leader, at 2k Masters you would be an Elite, and Top 4 players would be the Elite 4, Allowing players to play rank at account lvl 6 and turning rank into standards because players didn't had the time to adjust to standard and quick matches, not adding draft sooner with 1 ban on each team and increase the amount of bans based on the size of the pokemon roster(We had enough mons back then to do this type of draft, there was 22 mons on Mobile release). I can go on for hours, the list is waaay too long. Only reason the game isn't done is because the pokemon IP is keeping it online.
I think it lack of diversity kindda boring. I been play alot it fun but after a while it get boring every game feel the same. That why majority of moba have item so you can build different. I think best thing to do is implementing like hero of storm if pokemon unite dont want item. Communication is huge problem too no in game chat i might be noob and dont know how to turn it on but you cant Communication with team 5 tank 4 markman etc they cant expecte everyone to be on voice chat it kinddastupid ok people toxic but they can monitor chat it not hard. Map or something need to be change each season i dont mean remake the whole map but make player feel refresh. I havent play unite for almost a year when i come back everything the same except new op pokemon. This game could be best moba i kindda see that but there way too much problem with this game
I feel kids should have their own lobbies separate from adults, or at least have 3-5 stacks with their own lobbies. Trying to win with a team (most likely kids) or adults that are throwing games or trolling on purpose is infuriating! If you solo-q, it should be all random players. No Duos or Stacks on either team.
I want draft ranked as much as the next person, but a great point I've heard is we lose out on accessibility. If we have draft ranked from the very start, a ranked player must own at least 11-12 Unite licenses. That's a lot of coins that new ftp players won't have. What Unite does well that makes it stand out compared to other MOBAs is making competitive very accessible to new players. The way I understand it, accessibility and competitiveness are on a continuum: the more accessible the less competitive, and the more competitive the less accessible. Clearly the players want more competitive ranked, but that means we have to sacrifice some accessibility. How much do we want to sacrifice? Draft ranked from the start appeals to me as a player who has played since the game first released, but it will hinder the experience for newer players who want to start learning competitive. One easy fix is to incentivise Standard games. If standard is more appealing to play, players will be happier to wait until they have all the coins and enough skill to play ranked. Not to mention, more casual players who currently play in ranked will move to Standard games. Another idea is to give more free licenses to new players, so they don't have to grind for coins as much. Currently, the game gives at least 5 free licenses (please correct me I'm not sure): Ninetails, Cinderace, Greninja, Slowbro, and one free starting license. Even if you get the cheapest ones in the shop (the 4 remaining starter 6k coin licenses and 3 8k ones), that is 4,800 coins. Assuming a new player hits the cap every week, it will take 3 weeks to obtain all of them. And that is before we even consider the coins needed to get held items and enhancers, so perhaps we are looking at over one month to play ranked at minimum. Again this is assuming the player hits the coin cap weekly, which is a sizable time investment for a month already. If the game allows a new player to obtain maybe the remaining starter licenses as a reward for playing, that cuts the coin cost in half, and just under two weeks of coin capping to have the minimum licenses to start ranked (but assume more time for decent lvl20 items). So more free licenses can help ensure the game retains the accessibility it has been so great at. Anyways this is just my pipe dream for Unite. :( I doubt these will actually happen.
the worst part about the game by far for me is the community. 80% of everyone always complaining, ranting, thinking they know whats best/foreseeing things, rarely looking at the positives never good enough,overly sensitive and making the most niche game their entire personality. instead of just trying to improve and accept that sometimes you win AND lose, its nobody elses fault. sucks the fun out of everything. but this game will continue to develop like every other MOBA regardless. and i wish the best for whats to come
draft should be a different queue altogether. let's be honest: unlocking pokemon while being f2p is an arduous process. being dead weight on my team bc I don't own glaceon, and therefore can't pick it for them is a serious handicap.
You should be able to de-rank from one rank to the lesser as well. A player could somehow rank up to a higher rank and then get stuck on it, considering how easy it is to rank-up with carry pokemons. Solo queue players are also forced to play carry pokemons because they can't rank up easily if they don't, this makes other pokemons like those under defender and support classes picked lesser, which also makes you less powerful against coordinated players (mostly trios or sometimes a whole team). PU developers definitely need to see this video.
I dont get the reason of this vid is literally only bots . Even if they were real players i wouldve get same 100 wr master but is kinda disapointing there are 0 real persons (on wild rift i got master in 1 year , pokemon unite 2 days ahah difference is wild rift is completely alive and 100 x cent real people playing it)
I quit back in December I’m just done with this game unfortunately the match making is atrocious and to call ranked a joke would be an understatement and also the player base i just can’t do it anymore I’m tired of people who intentionally abuse the Meta to get wins like I was so tired of going against people with like 44%-48% wins rates literally every other character they own but than they abuse characters like mewtwo Y and zacian and have like 55%-61% win rates on them I’m just so tired of them prioritizing on making over powered brain dead characters that’s soul purpose is to generate massive amounts of money for them intentionally leaving those mons in a unbalanced state for months on end and until they realize those certain mons aren’t making them money anymore they nerf them like they left mewtwo Y in that state for a little over 2 months and when they did that honestly it was the beginning of the end for me
The game is very fun but it feels like the game itself is trying to stop me from having fun. The monetization is horrible, the UI is laggy, cluttered, and ugly, and for me atleast, the bot games in ranked especially but I think overall should be removed unless the gamemode is labeled as a bot gamemode. I recently started playing ranked after off and on casually playing since it came out and even though im winning over and over I keep getting mostly bot games and it feels boring and a waste of time when I wanna play against humans and I keep getting useless AI that both suck as teammates and arent fun to kill
I dont mind getting CC tbh, ofc it is a bad thing when it can be a strategy low skill players can use to try to compete against more skillfull players, but it is fun atleast XD, way better than fighting against glaceon such a silly pokemon XD
Food for thought... the highest elo I ever hit in a moba on league of legends was plat 3 and in the first season of PU I hit Masters in 2.5-3weeks not even playing everyday smh. Way too easy to climb.
Another thing I really need to bring up that I havent seen is to remove the bushes! There are way too many bush campers that just really annoyingly ruin your game with the same repetitive strategy. Oh? Were you walking somewhere? Must suck that a Decidueye was able to hit you invisibly from off the screen. Range is one thing, but you also can't even hit or see them? That's ridiculous, at least to me, a casual player. The bushes are not needed whatsoever. It's not really.. fun to constantly see them get abused by the fact that it 100% hides you entirely, and even if you see them, your aiming acts like nobody was there in the first place. And to add to this, it just really sucks that all it takes is for them to see you, and then boom, use both of their moves, and kill you in a single second. Seriously, even if I was playing a bulky defender this would be somewhat of an issue. Bushes as they stand are just way too stupid overpowered and get abused by any pokemon with slight range or high damage output.
idk man, just look at how the replay get implemented.. very pay to win, in my experience playing mobas.. i've never seen dev put the pay wall at replays, it doesn't make any sense
Krashy pointed a lot of this stuff out very early when the game came out. This video will have almost no effect and the game will continue to be what it is....a cash grab.
Yessss we need 15 minute matches. 10 minutes feels too short especially when you play mons that evolve late. It feels like you can’t be those mons for long
@@xapriliztheshizzlex I personally don't feel it takes too long for me to be useful as a garchomp. Sure, level 9 for that unite move and final evolve is a big power spike but as soon as I hit level 5 I can yoink farm to my side of the map, or catch out a player who facechecks a bush I'm hiding in with it. Its just not brainless power. Doesn't mean it isn't useful.
- I've been speaking on making sections of Master Rank for since Season 1. Accessing Master doesn't feel like that huge of a feat and global rank doesn't even feel like much either. - Draft Rank SHOULDN'T EVEN REQUIRE YOU TO BE 1400 OR MORE. Just do exactly how they tried us with EX License; Ultra - Master games should be forced into Draft or......or....make Rank entire format as Draft. Leave what we are dealing with now in STANDARD.
im not against draft, however i really wish it would let ppl use the same pokemon. right now if u play competitive u will know draft forces players to use different mons with the excuse that is promoting diversity, but i really like to find out whos the better player between two players using the same mon. i feel it adds competitiveness to the game.
I absolutely hate that objectives are literally a coin flip 90% of the time, i wish they would change it into zones that you and your team have to occupy to get the buffs
So you are asking for is old MMR system where it would match players based off the highest rank players. However this lead to multiple games having 5 stacks fight duo and trio queues more often than not while in Solo queue as well.
He's not asking for that at all. "I don't like how it is now" isn't "I want what came before". In an ideal world 5 stacks are a separate ranked ladder so you have 2 ranks, one for solo/duo and one for 5 stacks, and both queues have their own leader board. The games systems have always been dumb. Both matchmaking systems were turds, it's kinda pointless to just go "eh, the turd we currently got is less turdy than the previous turd, so we should be grateful!". Raise your standards man. Considerably better matchmaking and ranked already exists, in other games. It really isn't that hard to make happen.
I see your points here. I agree with some of them. One thing i will tell you is that i play multple games that have teirs in their ranking. I think most games have 5 to 7 teirs. Ive seen games with more than that. As someone that wants to play more than just one game and get somewhere, when you sign into a game and the season starts and you have been reset back to start, then you start to wonder "do i even want to grind back to the top?" " Do i want to become a lifer on one game that doesn't change that often or keep my interest?" Is there more incentive to grind back to the top? Or is it the same outfit, just a different color this time?. Adding more tiers and not creating better prizes is dull and uninteresting. Id grind to the top each season for a premium holowear. Or top out another help item. Nice prizes like that. It would give the player a tatse of premium stuff without loosing sales. If you ask me. I guess im saying that i dont like grinding to the top and getting reset if the game doesn't change and offer better items for each season. You get better items for logging in for 16 days for a certain even through your event menu. I got a cinderace premium skin and it was a 2 week event. You know?
The way returning players are handled should be changed. I reached Ultra 1 in season one of Unite and took a break until season 13. When I came back, I was only down to Veteran. By then, so many new pokemon were out and the game was played so much differently but because I ended at a higher rank, I came back almost the same level and so it was easy to get to Ultra 1 again/ get into Masters. I feel accounts should drop 1 or 2 classes every season whether they logged in or not. So someone that hasn’t played in a long time should definitely climb the ladder from the bottom.
Honestly, this is a video that the unite devs should watch....I think they do, but not sure? They should increase the communication with the top content creators and the unite community itself
Just pointing out about the game not telling you about duos and trios. The game does tell you actually, mostly. If you flip over the trainer cards, and you see hearts, that means those players are queued together. If there is two hearts, its a duo, three hearts, a trio, 4 hearts, two duos, 5 hearts, trio and a duo (assuming you're not 5 stacking). The only limitation to this system is that if they're playing for the first time, the heart doesn't appear. However, if you are playing as a duo or trio, its pretty much almost guaranteed that the other team has a duo or trio as well.
It has a very high cooldown and its effects have a very short duration. For the amount of CC that many pokemon can spam it's not enough. You didn't get hit by superpower thanks to full heal? Great, what about smack down followed by a second superpower now that you have no full heal.
@@estebanarias5558 sure but the reality is there's too much strong cc not that full heal sucks as an item edit: if cc was generally worse outside of Unite moves or just less omnipresent full heal wouldn't need any changes
@@sentientmeat96 The item still needs buffs, it was unnecesarily nerfed before and it's not worthy of being used for most pokemon, just a few exceptions. It's CD is too high, even X speed has 5 s less cd than it. It also should make you inmune to CC for at least twice the time it does RN, some moves and passive abilities are better than this item in this aspect.
Basic Attacks need a 'drag' option like other Moba. I hate having to choose between 3 choices of "closest' 'hp' & 'hp%' these are wonky. Also Hero Target doesnt work for basic attacks. Basic attack "drag' option would give players more choices in who they attack when near multiple pokemon (including enemy mons)
I played for a couple hours yesterday after not playing for over a year and while I had a lot of fun, having a background in other mobas, I hate how watered down the game feels. The matches are so short and the maps are so small, I can already feel the staleness. I wish there was a map/gamemode of 1.5x-2x larger or even bigger with 3 lanes and longer match time, 15m is realistic but I'd love to see a 20-30 min match. It feels like I'm monotonously playing the same match over and over again and the only way to keep things interesting is to play many different Pokemon, which while fun makes it hard to really wrap my head around and get good at a certain Pokemon or role, especially being low level and only having so many coins to get new Pokemon. The short match time was probably to keep player attention span and make the game easier, but in some ways it ironically makes things more overwhelming. I always enjoyed the early laning phase in the first 10m of other MOBAs, the slow paced dance with high pace bursts of poking and farming and fighting. But in that's game it's a few minutes before the first big objectives spawn, and its like everything happens so fast its hard for me to keep up, and it's hard for me to really zone into my Pokemon and learn them because I have to constantly be shifting my focus around, there's a lot to juggle at once when you're not as familiar with everything.
Also, in my opinion there should be a whole point talking about the need for the balancing of some relatively, overly powerful Superman-like characters (Umbreon, Glaceon, Espeon, clef, mimikyu, the list continues) who make the game un-fun for other players. These are pretty mid to play and are def terrible to play against bec of overtuned stats or move effectiveness
that absol game was neat!! Especially handling those invades from talon & dnite👌🔥 as for changes to rank, I agree it's necessary, but they would never make it harder for trash players to reach the top. Those players are their fave; they're more predictable. Skilled players make them work more (eg: when a pokemon that wasn't _supposed_ to be broken but top players *_made it_* broken, now the devs "have" to patch it) The worse the player base, the easier the job.
Love this explanation of the state of Unite. You hit quite a few things that have been rolling around my head but haven't heard other content makers mention too much. Thanks for explaining the average team ELO (I think it's really avg hidden MMR score). But this is exactly the reason why I assume we will rarely get draft games UNLESS they redefine the match making after 1400. Thank you for mentioning the extra Masters tiers with narrowed match making. I am hoping that they do this by making 1400 a new tier next season (without actually calling it one) and exclude ultra and maybe lower rank masters players from it to increase the possibility of draft games. You hit all the good points with this vid, and I wholeheartedly agree with all of your points.
There should be another parameters to get into a match, as K/D/A ratio. Cause it doesn't matter if I kill 10+ for each death, and they pair me with a 0.2 K/D ratio Cinderace
Disagree with the removal of full heal, with how rampant cc is in this game and full heal being nerfed again I’d rather have cc get tackled where you can’t chain cc together. As soon as you get locked into one you’re guaranteed dead
@@UniteClimbing oh, mb then! I misunderstood that 😅 but yeah we need something to deal with it. I wish pink emblems actually mattered but they can’t suffice
Ranking is silly. I'm new to the game and what do you mean I'm a master? I litteraly have no clue how to play

Valid point, I played 3 days ago and I am now master ranked. I played competetively on Wild Rift and switched to PU recently. Too easy to climb to what I experienced.
mad facts, I was able to climb to master just from picking it up in 2 months, but when I played league of legends, I'm so bad I got demoted to Iron. Which if you don't know IS BELOW THE STARTING RANK. I'm garbage at mobas yet I'm in the highest ranking?
I mean being in master does not really matter if you are not in world rankings it doesnt really count
So I cracked the algorithm
For every match won you should loose 2+ matches
This season was my worst ever
:0 damn
I believe you’re right! I’d win 1- lose 2- win 5 lose 3. It’s something like that. Because the game 100% is putting low skill players in ranks they can’t keep up in. That or the higher you go the more 3 man’s there are that have 1 carry
Yeah my overall win rate got destroyed this season lmao can't wait for the new season.
@@quelaagging8532 the mid season was really good but now that it’s the last few days people have stopped playing right again lol 😂
For real, I get to 1589/1600 and then start losing all my matches I went back down to 1500 in a day. It was irritating.
If only they focus on player satisfaction ,this game will be much better to play
Oh they do. You get the satisfaction of buying a new skin
@@TheBTSMACLVOR50 dollars for no move effects👍
@@TheBTSMACLVOR40 - 50 dollar crap…yeah sure
I know Game Freak and the Pokémon company doesn't make the game, but this is a trend that is seen in the main games, where they think they know what the players want and the they do whatever they Want without ever listening to us
But they're never satisfied....
One more thing..they need to stop nerfing balanced Pokemon just to introduce new Pokemon
No, ideally they need to rework a good few characters. Some of them will never be viable, besides solo q, like charizard, scizor, Snorlax and machamp. Never gonna happen tho unfortunately
It's crazy how seemingly every RUclipsr along with most of the community knows what the game needs and the devs take a long time to implement it or they don't. (Glaceon, Mewtwo, Zacian, EX, etc.)
Good points. One thing I've noticed about this game is that it reminds me of the old MW2. I know that's aging me a bit, but I mean the matchmaking. MW2 was fun because you never knew what you were gonna get. You didn't know if you were gonna drop a nuke just joking around or get 2 kills sweating. It made the game addicting. I think the devs understand its player base and are focusing on retention at this point. Im a firm believer that there aren't many people left playing this game. You have top 10k players, and that's about it. Keep in mind that some are pros, and some only play in a squad or the very least a duo. I dont think the game is dying, but if they add a strict matchmaking system, I think it will kill off the game just like they did to all the recent CODS. I dont think people are honest about their skill level because of the current matchmaking or, at the very least, understand where they stand. Once a strict matchmaking system gets implemented, it will remove the highs and lows of the game and make it sweaty. I think the devs know this and are concerned because they have no way of challenging good players without sabotaging their games but If they implement a matchmaking system, it will only widen the gap for new players thus hurting retention. I honestly don't think people understand what they are asking for, but I also dont know how they can fix this game because of its casual nature.
Valid points!
I don't like it, but valid points😅
They should have listened when people pointed out issues very early on and fixed matchmaking then. Now it's literally too late.
Wow, this is kind of concerning to think about
@UniteClimbing Yeah, as much as I love the game, I just don't ever see it becoming truly competitive considering the main support of this game comes from the casual player base. Even with the new draft, you can tell they want to "protect" a certain player base while still giving highly competitive players something to enjoy. I think we all know that not all masters players are equal, but it does give lesser skilled players bragging rights to say they are in the same rank as the pros. Just my 2 cents. I could be way off of course 😅
But they're completely fine releasing overpowered pkmn that ruins the experience for all players.
its also real hard to earn aeos coins as a f2p which forces us to play the same pokemon again and again which gets boring real quick i have quit the game like 5 times bcuz of boredom
This! I have to agree ong. Its so damn tiring to play the same pokemon over and over cuz it stupidly gives a small amount of coin each game. I mean its a-kinda cash grab game considering it cost a bit expensive for some skins with no effects at all. Ughhh
They reward returning players. Play for a month, leave for 2 weeks, repeat the cycle. Easiest way to get 10k+ coins fast.
@@MeanKno gonna try that asap lol thnks bro
@@MeanKno thats... actually nice, though cant do it without my daily dose of unite.
@@bassmark1301 do it like me, make an alt account and play on that while you're taking a 14 day break. It's worth it
8:47 i don't care about a lot of these things (i'd LOVE a new map every season tho), what really bothers me about this game is the fact 99% of the matches (10 fucking minute matches) are decided in the last 2 minutes because the rayquaza bonus is way too broken, and the bugs they never fix, and also the extremely clear fact that the people behind the game don't give a flying fuck about the players satisfaction, like they don't even try, this is horrible
I already quit this game i used to comeback and everytime i see a broken mon and always unfair matchmaking this game is frustrating i play for fun and this game lost that thing
low skill cap pokemon should not be the strongest in the meta you’re right but they must not be bad too, as much as high skill cap should not be the most broken in the meta just because it’s high skill and harder to play. They must be balanced overall, low/high skill cap is not excuse to make something intentionally better or worse
True, that's basically the same of forcing people to play a specific Char, or they are punished for not doing it.
Low skill Glaceon still deals 1,4k crit damage, and the mon is burst deny as well
I 100% agree with low skill pokmeon should have less reward and high skill pokemon should have high reward🧐🧐
It should be based off win %. If a pokemon has a high wr and you win you should gain less than say the lowest on the totem poll on wr where top wr get +3-+5 max and low wr gets +7-+10 max bc statistically you'll lose way more than a high wr pokemon. This would mean that greedant/Sable gods would be the best solo q to climb but when it comes to 5 stack it should just be max gain per match is +5 just due to it being oreniatated around people you possibly normally stack with meaning better wrs overall.
@@smurfpoppin4470I'm sorry man that's such an L take.
Amount of elo gained should be determined purely on matchmaking and whether you win or lose. Which pokemon you picked or how good they are shouldn't have an impact.
If you want to prove you can make it to a really high rank with a statistically underpowered pokemon, the system shouldn't throw you brownie points just for using it. The burden should be on you as a player to show the world that the pokemon is actually cracked when used the proper way.
The thing here that's truly cringe is that 5 stack and solo queue share a ranked ladder. They should be separate ladders with separate ranks.
Reaching master ranked is not rewarding at all

Great editing, improving tons :) nice thumbnail as well ;)
I just need good matchmaking and draft tbh, i can deal with anything else
yea i was disappointed to see overlord playing a no-skill mon like leafeon in the grand finals as i love him for being so good at zoroark but these no skill mons are really changing the course of even trying to become "skilled" at the game and it will keep going if they dont stop adding mons and making them broken for awhile every time they release as some people just quit at that point, prob gonna make miraidon op.
I like every point you’ve made! Especially the map part… I’m trying to come back, and this map is bland. It’s too big and too small at the same time. Not every interactive atleast I feel that way. 15 minutes would also be better
Do anyone having problem with logging into the game?
about that matchmaking. last week, i was in master around 1400, played a game in ranked and lost. after that game, one of my allies wanted to add me and then i saw his rank, it's ultra. so, yeah. the matchmaking still needs polish. a LOT of polish.
Your id
Did you hear my first point?
@@FR0M-FUTUREFiju
@@UniteClimbingyes. it was about the flaw of the match making rank system.
@@02brother crazy how we can get paired to ultra players so regularly
It would probably have a balance issue but a PC client would help get a bigger market, since that's what a majority of moba players outside of mobile play on.
Adding draft to rank in general and requiring a character limit would probably be better as thats what most games do.
Pokemon unite being the best Moba ever is a bit rich... The games made to make money and appeal to children. The people who play competitively are like 50 people. MMR is the best system, I'm pretty sure there aren't enough players to justify a higher rank than masters. Aus doesn't even have its own servers, that in itself tells you how unpopular the game is proportionately. The games good in Asia. That's about it. If you love the game this much, you should move to Asia, probably Japan. If you don't, you're gonna waste your life realising what I'm saying is eventually true. Go teach English there and play Pokemon on the side.
“The people who p,ay competitively are like 50 ppl”….bro did you actually knew what you typed out???
Its never gonna be the best moba, dont get ur hopes high up
I agree half the things and siagree the other half 😅.
5:11 Got matched with 2 duo and trio with duo or full team on enemy side, basically alone in the game.
Inteleon, Glaceon, Leafeon and Clefable are so incredibly broken it's unreal.
Like if I see a Clefable on the other team and we have no healer, I already write-off the game as a loss.
I think communication really should be looked at too
Yeah, that's why I like player support!! Support diff is real
Matchmaking really sucks, as i was ranking up from the lowest rank, i notice that matches i lose i went against 1 or more players from a higher rank, whats frustrating is i win 3 games and all of a sudden i get matched up against someone in masters with 2 ultras when im in great rank, thats a 4 rank difference how is that fair, while my teammates are also great rank
Another things is trolls, trios or duos that trolls, either that pick attackers and goto the same lane no matter what or they feed and stay lvl 4 while im lvl 8, there is no way to win and they refuse to surrender and let it drag
The last thing I want to say is the emblems system, 2 years in and we don't get a finished and polished emblem system 70% of it is useless buff it or revamp it, it definitely showing sign of a dead moba game in the near future
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind waiting extra time if that means we have have people who are actual competent
Same
this was a really well put together summary, but if I were to nitpick one point, it'd be the ADCs being able to output high dmg for what seems like low effort.
Now dont get me wrong, glaceon has been sitting in the forefront of the meta for awhile, mons like dpult tend to roam around that as well (then there was M2 Y as well), I agree that they dont advocate for high micro skill as they are simple characters. But I think the fact that these pokemon exchange high micro skill for high macro skill (knowing how to position themselves within a teamfight to get the most mileage out of them) shouldnt be overlooked as well when comparing them to mons like Zoro, Scyther, Dodrio whom require more individual skill to make the most out of them and Top Players who use these 2 distinct character classes.
For added ex. Cinderace and Duraludon rn are ADCs whom are simple on the surface but again, are reliant on the player knowing map awareness and positioning to get the most out of them, on top of the fact they do much less dmg compared to Dpult in a short AoT, which leaves them more prone to getting killed by the overabundance of Assassins/Snipers that sit at the throne of the meta overall while they need to do their job at fighting Supports/Juggernauts/Tanks.
Glaceon imo is the only outlier where I agree in needing to be toned down for an ADC in some fashion, perhaps reworking the passive to not be an invis and reducing the range of icicle spear.
But we shouldnt falt how ADCs in general are designed as their job is to pump out high sustained DPS quickly to smash through frontlines. (While were at it, buff cinderace and greninja to be able to contend with their peers as auto attackers).
Agreed with these points, adcs are not unique to this game and while they're extremely powerful, they're also very easy to kill if they make a single positioning error. Playing the game is about far more than just pushing the buttons.
I do want Glaceon and dragapult nerfs but only small nerfs, I don't want them gutted. And buff the others as you say.
I think we need a new supporter. We haven’t had one in ages and having the same 2 or 3 supporters being used a lot in matches is getting repetitive.
Another reason why so many players are in master is because of bot matches. Since most of the player base are in master, new players on low ranks have NO ONE to match so bot match.
New players join -> no players to match with -> bot match -> master Repeat
A lot of good points. Although the draft part was commented before we know how it is really implemented. I think, it is probably separate queue, which is unlocked when reached 1400 rating. That way if you queue up to draft mode, you know you are getting draft game.
ElChicoEevee actually did say that Draft is a separate queue
@@KawaiiMimi778 that's why I am thinking so. BUT ElChicoEevee can’t know what is happening in server side. Similar way 1-3 stack and 5 stack players are in separate queue but can be in same match after matchmaking.
I quit the game this season, and all my friends too. We endured through the lie-letter, mewtwo x and Y, the noob season and all. But the noob season to continue with the ex return, that were forbidden in ranked last season, is too much. I feel every argument you bring in the video. The map is now boring after two years, is anoying to be in master 1400+ and just have 3 kinds of matches, 1) with a player that has no idea on how the game works, 2) just die a hundred times to a buffed-of-the-season or a bit grown Ex and find myself in a 1 x 5 goals at 6min. 3) or be completely bored in the overpowered team where every player gets more than 10 kills. Alongside with the lack of minimal love in the free skins (they just change the color?!), the infestation of generic all-rounders. I wont lie, I endured a lot, more than 11k battles. But now I just want the jump assemble to come and make me forget unite.
Yeah what is it with Unite and keeping information from the players, everything is just so vague
You do realize that for a dollar players can avoid ranking down. That’s likely the cause for a 49% WR player to be 1600.
Because I’ve only ever gotten to 1600 once in the 2 years I’ve been playing and my WR was 57%
Why some fucking Pokémon don't die. Like 1 vs 5 and the MF don't die infinite health WTF help
The biggest issue is just them having terrible idea on how to balance their own game. Both in Pokémon and matchmaking.
Pokémon although in public beta test barely ever get any actual feedback that’s useful due to the beta being in a secluded area where most people need a VPN to access it, and any response is barely ever considered except if a Pokémon is way too weak.
Secondly, matchmaking needs to become more skill based instead of getting people to a win rate between 50-55%, I essentially had to quit a season where I was a top 5000 ranking player due to solo queue. The mmr hit after I had achieved around 1750 in master points within 200 games (very unusual with mmr)
so unless you exclusively queue 3 or 5 stack you have no way of consistently climbing without playing an ungodly amount of games. (Around 400-500 is average for a higher ranking position via solo queue) so unless the matchmaking gets changed to skill based,solo or duo queue is. screwed
I think they just simply dont care enough abt this game to make changes. This is shown season after season
Regarding ppl competing at tournaments using lower skill pokemon - I feel like they should give a set of playable pokemon per match. If u wanna compete at competition, u might as well be familiar with everyone on the roster
Why do mons like Duraludon, Tsareena, Decidueye keep getting ignored?
These points have been mentioned multiple times by MOBA players who used to play this game since its release. Unite is too focused of keeping the game a casual money grabbing mobile/switch game, Timi had the player capacity to make it harder for people to rank up from their current rank and create a differentiator in skill, but they took too long to do that alongside balancing their mons and items(Luca, venu, buddy barrier back then) and many other features that game lacks, or are unnecessary such as the unite squads, there isn't a shop for it with unique items you can buy with clan currency, no weekend tournaments(CLASH from LOL) for unite squads to face against each other, No custom UI to make the mobile minion button bigger and change positions alongside the rest like in Mobile legends or Arena of valor, no option to reduce the graphics on switch unlike the mobile version, forcing players to use ticket currency and enhancements to upgrade items that should be given for free with max lvl 20 instead of 30, no solo/duo QUE with its own ladder, no separate ranks with their own pokemon theme like at 1600 mmr in masters you could be a Gym Leader, at 2k Masters you would be an Elite, and Top 4 players would be the Elite 4, Allowing players to play rank at account lvl 6 and turning rank into standards because players didn't had the time to adjust to standard and quick matches, not adding draft sooner with 1 ban on each team and increase the amount of bans based on the size of the pokemon roster(We had enough mons back then to do this type of draft, there was 22 mons on Mobile release). I can go on for hours, the list is waaay too long. Only reason the game isn't done is because the pokemon IP is keeping it online.
I think it lack of diversity kindda boring. I been play alot it fun but after a while it get boring every game feel the same. That why majority of moba have item so you can build different. I think best thing to do is implementing like hero of storm if pokemon unite dont want item. Communication is huge problem too no in game chat i might be noob and dont know how to turn it on but you cant Communication with team 5 tank 4 markman etc they cant expecte everyone to be on voice chat it kinddastupid ok people toxic but they can monitor chat it not hard. Map or something need to be change each season i dont mean remake the whole map but make player feel refresh. I havent play unite for almost a year when i come back everything the same except new op pokemon. This game could be best moba i kindda see that but there way too much problem with this game
I really appreciate if all of the creators take steps and help
I feel kids should have their own lobbies separate from adults, or at least have 3-5 stacks with their own lobbies. Trying to win with a team (most likely kids) or adults that are throwing games or trolling on purpose is infuriating! If you solo-q, it should be all random players. No Duos or Stacks on either team.
I want draft ranked as much as the next person, but a great point I've heard is we lose out on accessibility. If we have draft ranked from the very start, a ranked player must own at least 11-12 Unite licenses. That's a lot of coins that new ftp players won't have. What Unite does well that makes it stand out compared to other MOBAs is making competitive very accessible to new players. The way I understand it, accessibility and competitiveness are on a continuum: the more accessible the less competitive, and the more competitive the less accessible. Clearly the players want more competitive ranked, but that means we have to sacrifice some accessibility. How much do we want to sacrifice? Draft ranked from the start appeals to me as a player who has played since the game first released, but it will hinder the experience for newer players who want to start learning competitive.
One easy fix is to incentivise Standard games. If standard is more appealing to play, players will be happier to wait until they have all the coins and enough skill to play ranked. Not to mention, more casual players who currently play in ranked will move to Standard games.
Another idea is to give more free licenses to new players, so they don't have to grind for coins as much. Currently, the game gives at least 5 free licenses (please correct me I'm not sure): Ninetails, Cinderace, Greninja, Slowbro, and one free starting license. Even if you get the cheapest ones in the shop (the 4 remaining starter 6k coin licenses and 3 8k ones), that is 4,800 coins. Assuming a new player hits the cap every week, it will take 3 weeks to obtain all of them. And that is before we even consider the coins needed to get held items and enhancers, so perhaps we are looking at over one month to play ranked at minimum. Again this is assuming the player hits the coin cap weekly, which is a sizable time investment for a month already. If the game allows a new player to obtain maybe the remaining starter licenses as a reward for playing, that cuts the coin cost in half, and just under two weeks of coin capping to have the minimum licenses to start ranked (but assume more time for decent lvl20 items). So more free licenses can help ensure the game retains the accessibility it has been so great at.
Anyways this is just my pipe dream for Unite. :( I doubt these will actually happen.
the worst part about the game by far for me is the community. 80% of everyone always complaining, ranting, thinking they know whats best/foreseeing things, rarely looking at the positives never good enough,overly sensitive and making the most niche game their entire personality. instead of just trying to improve and accept that sometimes you win AND lose, its nobody elses fault. sucks the fun out of everything. but this game will continue to develop like every other MOBA regardless. and i wish the best for whats to come
draft should be a different queue altogether. let's be honest: unlocking pokemon while being f2p is an arduous process. being dead weight on my team bc I don't own glaceon, and therefore can't pick it for them is a serious handicap.
You should be able to de-rank from one rank to the lesser as well. A player could somehow rank up to a higher rank and then get stuck on it, considering how easy it is to rank-up with carry pokemons. Solo queue players are also forced to play carry pokemons because they can't rank up easily if they don't, this makes other pokemons like those under defender and support classes picked lesser, which also makes you less powerful against coordinated players (mostly trios or sometimes a whole team). PU developers definitely need to see this video.
I dont get the reason of this vid is literally only bots . Even if they were real players i wouldve get same 100 wr master but is kinda disapointing there are 0 real persons (on wild rift i got master in 1 year , pokemon unite 2 days ahah difference is wild rift is completely alive and 100 x cent real people playing it)
8:05 THATS what i said when People try to validate nerfing Inteleon LOL 😅
I quit back in December I’m just done with this game unfortunately the match making is atrocious and to call ranked a joke would be an understatement and also the player base i just can’t do it anymore I’m tired of people who intentionally abuse the Meta to get wins like I was so tired of going against people with like 44%-48% wins rates literally every other character they own but than they abuse characters like mewtwo Y and zacian and have like 55%-61% win rates on them I’m just so tired of them prioritizing on making over powered brain dead characters that’s soul purpose is to generate massive amounts of money for them intentionally leaving those mons in a unbalanced state for months on end and until they realize those certain mons aren’t making them money anymore they nerf them like they left mewtwo Y in that state for a little over 2 months and when they did that honestly it was the beginning of the end for me
The game is very fun but it feels like the game itself is trying to stop me from having fun. The monetization is horrible, the UI is laggy, cluttered, and ugly, and for me atleast, the bot games in ranked especially but I think overall should be removed unless the gamemode is labeled as a bot gamemode. I recently started playing ranked after off and on casually playing since it came out and even though im winning over and over I keep getting mostly bot games and it feels boring and a waste of time when I wanna play against humans and I keep getting useless AI that both suck as teammates and arent fun to kill
Nothing really happened. It’s still the same game we’ve always had. If anything, it probably got worse when we switched to another dev team.
You forgot to mention they need to hurry up and release Gen 2 Typhlosion and Lugia would be nice but Typhlosion is a must.
I dont mind getting CC tbh, ofc it is a bad thing when it can be a strategy low skill players can use to try to compete against more skillfull players, but it is fun atleast XD, way better than fighting against glaceon such a silly pokemon XD
Food for thought... the highest elo I ever hit in a moba on league of legends was plat 3 and in the first season of PU I hit Masters in 2.5-3weeks not even playing everyday smh. Way too easy to climb.
Another thing I really need to bring up that I havent seen is to remove the bushes! There are way too many bush campers that just really annoyingly ruin your game with the same repetitive strategy. Oh? Were you walking somewhere? Must suck that a Decidueye was able to hit you invisibly from off the screen. Range is one thing, but you also can't even hit or see them? That's ridiculous, at least to me, a casual player.
The bushes are not needed whatsoever. It's not really.. fun to constantly see them get abused by the fact that it 100% hides you entirely, and even if you see them, your aiming acts like nobody was there in the first place. And to add to this, it just really sucks that all it takes is for them to see you, and then boom, use both of their moves, and kill you in a single second. Seriously, even if I was playing a bulky defender this would be somewhat of an issue. Bushes as they stand are just way too stupid overpowered and get abused by any pokemon with slight range or high damage output.
idk man, just look at how the replay get implemented.. very pay to win, in my experience playing mobas.. i've never seen dev put the pay wall at replays, it doesn't make any sense
i think 1400 min elo is for experimenting only. they are not sure what soloq draft will become.
Tencent owns league of legend, i dont understand why rank is such an issue. Just copy league of legend's so rank means something.
Krashy pointed a lot of this stuff out very early when the game came out. This video will have almost no effect and the game will continue to be what it is....a cash grab.
As much as i would like longer matches, im more often thankful for 10 minute matches with how awful the matchmaking creates the matches to be
Also some rewards for free to play players
Cheap holowears and clothes
And don't make me start on tickets and prize machine
My buddy told me about this game 2 days ago and I’m already 1500 rank. I think it a just way 2 easy
I want this game to be good so badly but find myself so annoyed when playing id rather put my time to other games. Been playing since release
90% of my matches I would be top 2 on my team and I'd always end up with worst 3 people in the matches
Yessss we need 15 minute matches. 10 minutes feels too short especially when you play mons that evolve late. It feels like you can’t be those mons for long
He made a video about solo Q. It mentions not using Pokemon like Garchomp, Dragonite, etc they take too long to become useful.
@@xapriliztheshizzlex I personally don't feel it takes too long for me to be useful as a garchomp. Sure, level 9 for that unite move and final evolve is a big power spike but as soon as I hit level 5 I can yoink farm to my side of the map, or catch out a player who facechecks a bush I'm hiding in with it.
Its just not brainless power. Doesn't mean it isn't useful.
- I've been speaking on making sections of Master Rank for since Season 1. Accessing Master doesn't feel like that huge of a feat and global rank doesn't even feel like much either.
- Draft Rank SHOULDN'T EVEN REQUIRE YOU TO BE 1400 OR MORE. Just do exactly how they tried us with EX License; Ultra - Master games should be forced into Draft or......or....make Rank entire format as Draft. Leave what we are dealing with now in STANDARD.
They should learn from Mobile moba giant like Mobil legends
Ngl the community is just as bad as the game, giving them weird ideas just like this video
I love the scoring idea . Every other moba feels like copy of mobile legend ,lol,dota
im not against draft, however i really wish it would let ppl use the same pokemon. right now if u play competitive u will know draft forces players to use different mons with the excuse that is promoting diversity, but i really like to find out whos the better player between two players using the same mon. i feel it adds competitiveness to the game.
True, I personally dislike the mirror matches 😅
@UniteClimbing don't worry bro everyone has their preferences.
Play standards
You can't even see the amount that you've scored in this game and you expect any amount of clarity to be given 😅
I wish the game matched you on skill and experience rather than Elo
I absolutely hate that objectives are literally a coin flip 90% of the time, i wish they would change it into zones that you and your team have to occupy to get the buffs
na i hate sure hit moves take them out the game
So you are asking for is old MMR system where it would match players based off the highest rank players. However this lead to multiple games having 5 stacks fight duo and trio queues more often than not while in Solo queue as well.
He's not asking for that at all. "I don't like how it is now" isn't "I want what came before".
In an ideal world 5 stacks are a separate ranked ladder so you have 2 ranks, one for solo/duo and one for 5 stacks, and both queues have their own leader board.
The games systems have always been dumb. Both matchmaking systems were turds, it's kinda pointless to just go "eh, the turd we currently got is less turdy than the previous turd, so we should be grateful!".
Raise your standards man. Considerably better matchmaking and ranked already exists, in other games. It really isn't that hard to make happen.
The only way to make them stop is stop giving them money
Biggest problem are the bot matches in my opinion.
I see your points here. I agree with some of them. One thing i will tell you is that i play multple games that have teirs in their ranking. I think most games have 5 to 7 teirs. Ive seen games with more than that. As someone that wants to play more than just one game and get somewhere, when you sign into a game and the season starts and you have been reset back to start, then you start to wonder "do i even want to grind back to the top?" " Do i want to become a lifer on one game that doesn't change that often or keep my interest?" Is there more incentive to grind back to the top? Or is it the same outfit, just a different color this time?. Adding more tiers and not creating better prizes is dull and uninteresting. Id grind to the top each season for a premium holowear. Or top out another help item. Nice prizes like that. It would give the player a tatse of premium stuff without loosing sales. If you ask me. I guess im saying that i dont like grinding to the top and getting reset if the game doesn't change and offer better items for each season. You get better items for logging in for 16 days for a certain even through your event menu. I got a cinderace premium skin and it was a 2 week event. You know?
Pokemon unite has its the worst condition
5:50 Didn't we use to be able to tell who is friends with each other with the heart?
I agree and want the game to be a more Competitive MOBA
Ya dev communication is necessary 🙂
The way returning players are handled should be changed. I reached Ultra 1 in season one of Unite and took a break until season 13. When I came back, I was only down to Veteran. By then, so many new pokemon were out and the game was played so much differently but because I ended at a higher rank, I came back almost the same level and so it was easy to get to Ultra 1 again/ get into Masters.
I feel accounts should drop 1 or 2 classes every season whether they logged in or not. So someone that hasn’t played in a long time should definitely climb the ladder from the bottom.
It’s the first season of draft this will change
This is a perfect analysis!
Great video I totally agree,
underrated channel keep up the good work ✌️
@pokemonunite implement the ideas💡
The map changed , don’t you see Shiny Rayquaza wink wink 😊, Also RIP Natu , bring back Natu top lane lol
Lmfao yes, my bad. I forgot
It has no sneasel thats the problem.😢
Honestly, this is a video that the unite devs should watch....I think they do, but not sure? They should increase the communication with the top content creators and the unite community itself
They might watch, but they almost never listen. Video will have minuscule effect on the game devs thought processes.
Just pointing out about the game not telling you about duos and trios. The game does tell you actually, mostly. If you flip over the trainer cards, and you see hearts, that means those players are queued together. If there is two hearts, its a duo, three hearts, a trio, 4 hearts, two duos, 5 hearts, trio and a duo (assuming you're not 5 stacking). The only limitation to this system is that if they're playing for the first time, the heart doesn't appear. However, if you are playing as a duo or trio, its pretty much almost guaranteed that the other team has a duo or trio as well.
Yes, and if you play on a switch it will load 2 cards at most before a match starts 🤣
Good video overall.
Why do u think full heal sucks? It and eject button r the most commonly used held items in the pro league
@@Lollamo R u talking to me?
It has a very high cooldown and its effects have a very short duration. For the amount of CC that many pokemon can spam it's not enough. You didn't get hit by superpower thanks to full heal? Great, what about smack down followed by a second superpower now that you have no full heal.
@@estebanarias5558 sure but the reality is there's too much strong cc not that full heal sucks as an item
edit: if cc was generally worse outside of Unite moves or just less omnipresent full heal wouldn't need any changes
@@sentientmeat96 The item still needs buffs, it was unnecesarily nerfed before and it's not worthy of being used for most pokemon, just a few exceptions. It's CD is too high, even X speed has 5 s less cd than it. It also should make you inmune to CC for at least twice the time it does RN, some moves and passive abilities are better than this item in this aspect.
Poor person
Not opinion
I agree its to easy to hit Masters. Its like ranked is designed for casual players' egos...
Yeah. Everybody gets a medal kind of format 🥲
Bro they must add atleast discount copuns on aeos coinns and not for aeos gems😢😢
Yeah agree to this!
Basic Attacks need a 'drag' option like other Moba.
I hate having to choose between 3 choices of "closest' 'hp' & 'hp%' these are wonky.
Also Hero Target doesnt work for basic attacks.
Basic attack "drag' option would give players more choices in who they attack when near multiple pokemon (including enemy mons)
I played for a couple hours yesterday after not playing for over a year and while I had a lot of fun, having a background in other mobas, I hate how watered down the game feels.
The matches are so short and the maps are so small, I can already feel the staleness. I wish there was a map/gamemode of 1.5x-2x larger or even bigger with 3 lanes and longer match time, 15m is realistic but I'd love to see a 20-30 min match. It feels like I'm monotonously playing the same match over and over again and the only way to keep things interesting is to play many different Pokemon, which while fun makes it hard to really wrap my head around and get good at a certain Pokemon or role, especially being low level and only having so many coins to get new Pokemon.
The short match time was probably to keep player attention span and make the game easier, but in some ways it ironically makes things more overwhelming. I always enjoyed the early laning phase in the first 10m of other MOBAs, the slow paced dance with high pace bursts of poking and farming and fighting. But in that's game it's a few minutes before the first big objectives spawn, and its like everything happens so fast its hard for me to keep up, and it's hard for me to really zone into my Pokemon and learn them because I have to constantly be shifting my focus around, there's a lot to juggle at once when you're not as familiar with everything.
Also, in my opinion there should be a whole point talking about the need for the balancing of some relatively, overly powerful Superman-like characters (Umbreon, Glaceon, Espeon, clef, mimikyu, the list continues) who make the game un-fun for other players. These are pretty mid to play and are def terrible to play against bec of overtuned stats or move effectiveness
that absol game was neat!! Especially handling those invades from talon & dnite👌🔥
as for changes to rank, I agree it's necessary, but they would never make it harder for trash players to reach the top. Those players are their fave; they're more predictable. Skilled players make them work more (eg: when a pokemon that wasn't _supposed_ to be broken but top players *_made it_* broken, now the devs "have" to patch it)
The worse the player base, the easier the job.
Love this explanation of the state of Unite. You hit quite a few things that have been rolling around my head but haven't heard other content makers mention too much. Thanks for explaining the average team ELO (I think it's really avg hidden MMR score). But this is exactly the reason why I assume we will rarely get draft games UNLESS they redefine the match making after 1400. Thank you for mentioning the extra Masters tiers with narrowed match making. I am hoping that they do this by making 1400 a new tier next season (without actually calling it one) and exclude ultra and maybe lower rank masters players from it to increase the possibility of draft games. You hit all the good points with this vid, and I wholeheartedly agree with all of your points.
There should be another parameters to get into a match, as K/D/A ratio. Cause it doesn't matter if I kill 10+ for each death, and they pair me with a 0.2 K/D ratio Cinderace
Disagree with the removal of full heal, with how rampant cc is in this game and full heal being nerfed again I’d rather have cc get tackled where you can’t chain cc together. As soon as you get locked into one you’re guaranteed dead
That wasn't what my point was? I said full heal sucks, and we need a better item to reduce cc effects
@@UniteClimbing oh, mb then! I misunderstood that 😅 but yeah we need something to deal with it. I wish pink emblems actually mattered but they can’t suffice
