There does seem like an obvious optimal build for most characters. I play Talonflame and was spamming Fly until I realised Brave Bird was Fly but doing a shitload more damage

mfcrocker posted:I'm seeing rumbles that Zeraora might actually be physical, not special Seeing more and more info suggesting that Zeraora is physical, so stick with physical items. I might go test it in a minute. Also yeah, as a hardened DOTA support I'm having to come around to the fact that I'm going to need to play carry as someone with MOBA experience in a game played by a bunch of kids. At least early doors, you're going to need to be that person who can pro-actively get poo poo done, start engagements etc.

Space Fish posted:Only a few matches in, but my best role (as Talonflame, so far) seems to be guarding whichever lane my team neglects, having slapfights in No 'Mon's Land between bases, healing, and hunting npc pokemon to evolve and build up a charge for whenever the enemy team forgets I was in the neglected lane. Try Talonflame as a jungler/central area dude, it really needs to hit level 7 to start murdering people. Also please please take Brave Bird over Fly, the movement bit of it is the same, the self-damage is negligible and it does an absolute poo poo-ton more damage. Talonflame is basically all I've played so far, might try to get into Machamp too

Michaellaneous posted:So how P2W is this game? At the top levels, potentially pretty bad. The main culprit is being able to level up your held items to 30 which takes a lot of resources. It's conjecture on how many people will actually bother thought and if you're just jamming unranked or aren't pushing for Master in ranked, I highly doubt it's going to be a problem at all. E;F,B

There's nothing particularly amazing in the gacha anyway beyond the holo. Only other item I wanted was the pink hoodie and that's come out for me too. Most of the stuff in there is available for fashion tickets too

It gives a huge advantage early game that I can snowball with. The trick is to get just one point. Any more and it takes too long to dunkachino. Yeah, it's basically guaranteed if you have the Score Shield too. It stacks up to 6 times by the way

Phenotype posted:Yeah, I don't know how many times I've seen a teammate just walk on past a fight going on, like welp, nothing to do with me! I understand if newbies aren't watching the minimap, but I'll be fighting someone in lane or defending a goal and just over the wall there's a teammate fighting a jungle creep, and he's gotta be able to see me right on his screen! I also had one particularly infuriating moment when I had 50 points and was waddling over with two other teammates to score, and an enemy Gengar and Machomp jump on me out of a bush... and my two teammates keep on walking like nothing's happening while they beat me to a pulp and steal my lunch money. On the flip side to this, I'll often stick to hitting creeps if my lane partner is taking a dumb-poo poo fight that will lead to them getting killed and would lead to me getting killed if I joined in

The proper comparison to do would be between someone with level 30 items and someone with level 10 or 20, both of which are totally achievable without dropping a dime on the game. The stats between 20 and 30 in particular are very marginal and won't make any real difference, certainly not enough to overcome skill or tactical superiority. The monetisation in the game is definitely on the aggressive side, but folks moaning about P2W are being reactionary.

gay_crimes posted:Dunno if you all played other MOBAs, but small percentages are huge when it gets more competitive and you are ladder climbing I do play other MOBAs and this stuff matters at a much higher rank than most people are (or the rank they think they “should” be). If Unite ever gets an esports thing going on it’ll be a problem but the vast vast majority of players have way more to improve on before the marginal benefit of the last 10 item levels

RazzleDazzleHour posted:I've been doing jungle Cinderace and yeah he rules. I think the build is Blaze Kick (makes you invincible during the attack itself and then increases your attack speed afterwards) and Feint (more invincibility). Pyro Ball just takes too long to cast and leaves you vulnerable during the animation. You could maybe take Flame Charge against Crustle, I've killed enemy Cinderaces with Rock Tomb a fair few times. Attack Weight, Muscle Band, Buddy Barrier I'm not super sold on Attack Weight, I think Scope Lens might be better. Attack Weight is a little bit "win harder when you're ahead"

Phenotype posted:I honestly don't know why the other supporters are considered supporters, honestly. Neither of them have heals or team shields except in their ult as far as I know, and not much in the way of support buffs either. They've got CC and walls, but you see that in defenders and attackers too, like Crustle and Ninetails. I would have thought Wigglytuff would have been a defender with the kit she has, but maybe she doesn't have enough health to make the cut? And Mr. Mime is kind of a weird attacker type that can make walls and do AOE damage and steal enemy pokemon's defense? IDK. Eldegoss is the only pokemon that really seems like a support, currently. Traditionally, a MOBA support would be someone who is strong early game and can "support" their carries to get them to the point where they wreck face. Honestly it feels like the biggest traditional supports in the game are pokémon like A-Ninetales

RazzleDazzleHour posted:Man Veteran rank games are somehow even worse than Elite. Seems like all the things I was finally starting to see (competing for enemy creeps, not fighting under the enemy bubble) are now just back out the window. Had a Snorlax that died three times in the first three minutes, and the enemies just totally scaled out of control from him. After the game I took a break so I wouldnt get him on my team again, but he apparently took a break of the exact same amount of time because I got him again and he did the exact same thing. Next game my Ralts just went AFK for three minutes, came back and started jungling I had a lot of this today when trying to rank up to Veteran. Got there in the end but just some of the worst teammates I've had so far

Phenotype posted:I generally do not give a single gently caress and farm everything I can even with Snorlax or Eldegoss. I will try to split the opening minions with my lanemate, but anytime I walk anywhere on the map, I'm gonna kill every single wild pokemon on my way there. If I'm strong enough early, I can just poo poo all over the enemy laners and then the attackers on my team can level up easily enough. I'm only Expert rank -- maybe this gets better at Ultra or Master rank when you don't get nearly as many useless lumps masquerading as teammates, but I consider an extra level on my own character, whoever I'm playing, as way more valuable than a level on some random jerk that picked Cinderace but doesn't give a gently caress about objectives or scoring goals and doesn't pay enough attention to the minimap to notice a teamfight happening just offscreen. Sure, though this is pretty similar to the players running for personal glory that you're moaning about (though nowhere near as dumb as that Bulbasaur)

Phenotype posted:That wasn't me! I'm of the mind that you have to play to carry at lower ranks, which is not exactly "personal glory" but being a little more selfish so you can handle more fights without help from your team. I would leave the second berry for the other laner though haha. Oh I know the Bulba wasn't you, don't worry! I agree with needing to play carry somewhat at lower ranks but you should probably be doing that from the carry role and not hamstringing your actual (bad) carries by nicking their last hits. Contrary to popular belief, everyone needs some farm in MOBAs and moreso Unite than others but falling behind as an actual carry is utterly miserable and pretty game-losing

Jerk McJerkface posted:I'm a little tired of playing p5 support and then being abandoned in lane to die. I bought Gengar. Any builds/tips? I'm going to take him into practice for a bit and learn. Which lane are you in? If you're bottom yeah, your team shouldn't be abandoning you pretty much at any point. If you're top, it's pretty common to leave a defender there (usually Snorlax) whilst the rest of the team fucks off to go get Drednaw. If you're top playing a non-defender support, consider bottom lane instead if you can or go join in the Drednaw fight and let your top goal get killed
