The idea that you can't do multiple things is how you convince people to do nothing instead.

I can almost live with that.

What I can't abide is the fact that they sell COIN BOOSTS in a game with a weekly limit on COINS. And they cost more than the XP Boosts!

I know it's 82 from 1-10 and an additional 485 from 10-20 but I don't have a link for that.

So you can take nearly 5 more items to 10 in the cost to take one up to 20.

And there is no sense going past 20 until you have everything you want there.

Once you get access to Held Items you can pick up a Float Stone. And then once you hit level 9 you can start to upgrade your held items and you'll want to get your Float Stone to level 10 before putting points into anything else. That will help a lot with the movement speed issues.

So you would just see an opponent has "eevee" on the load screen and they would have options for which form to take? Or would they be committed from the beginning?

I don't think so, because when the XP stops rolling in I notice a blue lightbulb show up above my characters head, which I think is the animation letting me know that it stopped? I certainly didn't see the animation when I was gaining xp.

Public Service Announcement:

(Unless they make changes,) NEVER use EXP-Share.

It's effect is that if you are the lowest level person on your team you will steadily gain XP over time. The trade off is that you dont even get partial XP when your allies kill neutral pokemon. Seems fair, right?

Well the other trade off is that if you have an ally on the other side of the map who is just doing terrible then you will be limited by their progress, so that can be bad. But it's a gamble and otherwise it seems manageable, right?

Wrong. Because the OTHER trade off that they don't tell you about is that it will just STOP WORKING even IF you are still the lowest on your team because there seems to be some kind of hard-coded CAP to how much XP you can get with it. I don't know if that cap is on a per-level basis or over a set period of time but it's definitely there. So it's just actual garbage that has a negative effect (no partial XP from neutral minion kills) WITHOUT the positive effect of being able to stay on the same level as your lowest level ally. I was stuck on level 3 for like 3 minutes wondering what the hell was going on.

The amount of shit that this game doesn't tell you about is mountainous.

My winrates aren't quite as absurd as your gengar so I'm not getting a ton of the win streak bonuses, but I'm consistently putting up 100+ points even on losses now so I get the bonus stars about as frequently as I can which helps with the climb.

Yeah it basically just boils down to "spellcasty and hitting from range = special" and "punchy = physical" as just as overall brush to paint the pokemon, which I'm fine with, but they could easily put a "Physical" or "Special" label on the pokemon screen just so we know.

I'm hoping these are the quality of life improvements we can expect.

I like today's Quick map tbh. There's a lot of incentive to play cagey and dunk when the 2x modifier appears.

The only thing I don't care for much is how infrequently abra shows up since you have to kill 10 of them for one of the rewards.

Also this UI feels so gross to navigate. I can't stand the half second delay between everything.

Yeah it's very clunky. I would imagine at some point they will learn how to optimize the MENU of the game.

Bah, just had a frustrating loss in ranked where I almost single handedly won the game for my team.



The gross thing is I turned in 100 points when there was still TWO seconds left and it didn't count. Like I did the dunk, and then the word "two" finished being said, and THEN the word "one" and it didn't count. There was so much freaking time.

I started the game by winning a 1v2 lane bottom vs Gastly and Slowpoke, making plays to get kills pretty regularly and then using escape button to narrowly survive when a 3rd person would roam, I turned in 30, 40 and 50 points throughout the mid game to account for my 120 points. I dealt 106,000 damage which was more than double the next person on my team, and quite a bit more than the highest damage dealer on the opposing team (69,000). I felt like i was everywhere doing everything, always showing up just in the nick of time to save my allies or at least avenge them. But then nope, I didn't get credit for my final dunk.

To red's point if they are just "teaming up" with you on fighting the jungle they might think it's a good thing to do and not realize how inefficient it is versus taking camps separately, but I've already encountered examples of what ermine is saying where it is definitely not that. They see you fighting a thing, they want the XP, they don't attack until they time the last hit and walk away with your XP.

Might give this a shot today even though Ive never played League or any kind of MOBA.

It's such a simplified version of the genre that experience is honestly not necessary.

My main takeaway is that you virtually want to always be farming neutrals. 2 people farming the ones around the top/bottom lane each and 1 person farming in the middle. And you can engage when they overextend, but there is not much reason to sacrifice XP/Levels to get into a standoff with your opponents unless you have a clearly favorable matchup. Hell even if they stack 4 people top and 1 person bottom, it's better for your two top to just poke at them and maybe fight on/behind the platform where you can reach the healing berries, and just count on your 1+2 to make things happen bottom. You just need to always be farming XP and you steamroll.

It's just typical GOP bullshit.

"When trump won, you questioned the results, this is just us doing the SAME THING".

Nevermind the fact that the focus of the questioning wasn't on the votes themselves (most people generally agreed the votes themselves were correctly calculated) but rather that a foreign government had deliberately attempted to sway voters in our presidential election and people involved with the trump campaign knew about this interference and even attempted to coordinate the release of false information from certain sources.

So they are saying "We allowed you to voice your 1 credible line of questioning, therefore you should allow us to voice our 1,000 dubious lines of questioning".

Which ignores the fact that they did NOT even allow or facilitate an investigation into the 2016 election. They blocked it at every conceivable turn and threw a damn fit and called IT a conspiracy theory despite multiple intelligence agencies agreeing it occurred.

It's just false comparison bullshit.
And revisionist bullshit.
But when you smush two turds together it becomes impossible to tell where one lie begins and the other lie ends and it just becomes more difficult to articulate why they are wrong because you have to dissect the wrongness in layers.

Me: running away
Me: clearly holding the stick away from battle
Me: activating my dash ability (to run away)
Talonflame: *dashes into nearest enemy the opposite direction I have my stick held*

That is my one pet peeve so far. And I know you can use the right stick to aim your abilities, but even when you are doing it that way the area of effect that you have to drag into position will only slowly move from where it was trying to aim by default, so in the situation I'm describing you can either dash IMMEDIATELY, but in the wrong direction, or you can dash in the correct direction but it will take a full second to aim which is an eternity.
