It wasn't really made clear that you don't share exp. I guess if I paid attention to the level bar I'd notice it, but I never looked that closely. When I see teammates attacking something I simply joined them to help kill it faster.

Lol yeah, i've been making that same mistake too. now i know to attack someone else

---

I think I'll avoid doing ranked for now until I find other people to play with for it. It's not really fun playing with 4 random people with no coordination against a full team of 5 that know what they're doing.

---

The fact that you can team up for ranked is stupid. Kinda defeats the point.

Anyway I'm enjoying this way more than I anticipated. My old League skills are coming in handy so it's been nice curb-stomping kids. I've really warmed up to Cinderace which is interesting since I haven't played SwSh. But he's a ranged auto attacker and it's so much easier to kite people around than with the mouse since it auto targets lol.

---

Cinderace seems very strong to me. I have him in my personal top tier with Gengar and the yellow spiky guy (not pika)

---

Started a ranked game just to get a quest out of the way. Immediately 1 DC and then 1 person just straight up idle so we couldnt even drag the AI. Fun.

---

I don't love how this game controls

---

Yeah the auto aim sucks, I constantly am trying to clear a camp with Gengar and it teleports me to some random dude 20 feet away instead

---

yeah it's definitely annoying with Gengar if the auto-attack goes to a non-inflicted mon then his hex chain is broken

I've got my auto-attac targeter set to Closest now so I'll just try sticking close by to who I'm trying to hex

---

Ill probably need to go and.make that change when I get home. Good idea

I also want to turn on the notifier of when your next auto will be empowered, with Gengar his 3rd auto gets a lot of bonus range which can be bad if you're not expecting it

---

Playing ranked with FD earlier was fun.

Had a game where we were definitely about to lose after they wiped most our team and had 4 people on Zapdos. I'm waiting in the wings for it to get low enough where I dash in, smack zapdos for the last hit and then jump back out, running to their base to drop the 100 in.

:)

---

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.

---

Where do you go to see the damage you dealt?

---

Your profile, you can see your battle results and then the details from there. It's a big of a pain, but i assume at some point they will give you the same information on the result screen.

---

Yeah I think you should get points if you've already started the process even if the time runs out. Kinda bs.

---

Just stole a Zapdos kill from an entire team with a perfectly-timed Fly as Talonflame to come back and win from a 300 point deficit

---

the fact zapdos hasnt been hotfixed is just sad

---

just hit expert 1 with a 75% winrate playing only solo. i wish there was an mvp rate stat because that has to be like 95%

---

average score of 175!

---

i have 24 ranked games so far so 18-6. and 2 of those losses were when a teammate took gengar from me (and fed obviously) so really my gengar is 18-4.

---

We should duo sometime stingers, Im a bit busy for the next day or so but maybe sat or sun evening :)

---

another game where gengar gets taken from me, another loss :( being a one trick is hard in this game

---

whats your name on switch? ill add you

---

I was going to ask how we add each other.

My name in game is TheFD but I'm not sure if tray suffices

---

SW-5307-7209-7309

I just had a game where I did 114k on gengar. I think thats a personal record

---

Ill add ya when I get a chance stingers

---

up to expert 2 2/3. gonna take a break for now

---

weeks i actually had a mach starting when i got distracted and went afk

team still won and i got points for it, but I feel bad :(

8 point fair-play deduction well deserved

---

im wondering how this fair play system will pan out. what if you get griefed by a 4 man and they all report you? could you just get banned for no fault of your own? having no oversight is kind of suspect

---

Is this any good?

---

ive been enjoying it a good bit, but I also played a lot of league. if you dont like mobas i dont think this will be the one to change your mind. the barrier to entry is a lot lower if thats your main concern with the genre though

---

I've never bothered with MOBAs before but I've been enjoying my time with it, along with multiplayer teaming with my brother, and even getting my sister to join and she's enjoying it.

Today'd certainly be a fun day for the 3 of us to play later seeing how the Auroma Quick Battle map is 3-v-3

In Game: TheFD
Switch: SW-4280-4270-9153


---

I'm so fucking tired of these idiots that won't surrender when the other team was already ahead and then kills Zapdos. Stop wasting my fucking time!

---

How do you surrender?

added you on switch

---

surrender is +, -, X in that order

---

and if somebody else initiates a surrender vote, hold + and press ZL to vote yes and ZR to vote no

---

Tried this out

Zapdos is the most broken comeback mechanic in any game I've ever seen

---

yes it is indeed the golden snitch

---

Is there a way to block other players? I've had the exact same Snorlax on my team twice in Ranked who decides that he would like to accompany me in the jungle and steal all my kills.

I'm not sure if this works in Unite. But the Switch itself lets you block players you have met online.

Very fun game. Been enjoying Machamp, Cinderace, and Crustle.

I think the Garchomp bug has something to do with Zeraora's Wild Charge attack. The bug wasn't happening when I was playing Absol, but when I played a Zeraora game just now, I used Wild Charge on Garchomp and when I came out of it I went from 90%hp to 0 instantly. And in the battle overview, it would say Garchomp's regular attack did all the damage.

I got this same bug btw

---

I think I've had that bug before too. Because I was very very confused how a very underleveled Garchomp stomped me so suddenly.

---

Gengar with Sludge Bomb + Hex is obscenely strong. Seems like an outright broken Pokemon for anyone with a decent degree of prior MOBA experience.

---

yeah thats what ive been saying dude. the easiest elo ive ever gotten

---

When do the free mons change?

---

Just got stomped in a Ranked match because one of my randoms instalocked Gengar and then did nothing

...Except we stole Zapdos at the last second and got 300 points in the last minute and won. Balanced!

---

Wow, Crustle rules

I mean in league your team can be getting stomped and a well timed baron steal can win you the game.
