For like 10 seconds before that I was aiming the move in front of me. Idk if the analog stick flicked back too hard right during the input or something but I lost my loving mind finally.

You can try the move aim setting where the default direction a move aims is wherever you're pointing your left joystick

I still haven’t learned how to understand the flow of these kinds of games so I need to know to things. One is what the he’ll am I supposed to worry about the most for the first quarter and also if I’m a Defender am I supposed to be starting poo poo off. And if so how do I know when that’s appropriate. Something I always find about these games is I feel like I miss what I’m supposed to pay attention to and then I’m always doing the wrong thing or my timing is bad. Am I just supposed to use the wall and then let other people go in and mop up before entering myself. I’m struggling to know how I could Defend someone if I had to besides a stun or a wall or if that’s it. I have the concept of tanking in these games all wrong.

Playing these games is kind of like driving, you have to pay attention to everything as it comes up or else you risk crashing from a small error that snowballs. As a defender I'd stick to using your crowd control to protect your high dmg mons or shut down an enemy mon if its applicable. It usually depends if your team is good at blowing targets up quickly or if you just need time for everyone to rev up to win the damage race

Being in the right place is probably the most important thing to learn in a game like this. Like if Zapdos is up you should probably be at Zapdos, if there's a big fight happening you should probably be at the fight, etc.

10 minutes is a reasonable amount of time to just gently caress around experimenting which is how I usually learn games but it’s still too long if your playing with friends and ruining there game. :sigh:

this, you can't be attached to the outcome. think of it like gambling with your time and focus on having fun and/or pissing the enemy team off instead

What makes him better? I haven't been able to try him yet because nobody else on my teams ever wants to play defender, so I've been playing a lot of Crustle.

the ability to flip a switch and do huge damage to everyone in melee distance, and also extreme mobility with his jump move, and his ult, all seem to be like twice as good as crustle’s. the huge damage output seems to massively outweigh crustle’s increased hp, and it seems like his power snowballs a lot harder

pikachu is also def top toet and slowbro is good when you link up with multiple attackers the whole game. being able to paralyze ppl lets you set up good ambushes
