I emailed Pokemon Unite a list of changes and requests..
I just emailed Pokémon Unite with feedback about the game, and here are all the changes and requests I placed within my submission.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Before you roll out with the new season for 2024, please consider implementing these changes to the game to make it more balanced and fairer, because as of right now, these issues are killing the game and making the game unplayable.
1. ❤ 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 - Health Regeneration is ABSOLUTELY BROKEN! Self-explanatory. Pokémon like Scizor and Goodra (the main two) are recovering way too much hp. This is not an exaggeration, they are literally UNKILLABLE! Four of my teammates can be fighting one of these mentioned above and that player still won't die. It's not fair, and it's a cheap gimmick and becomes an easy win for the enemy team to use as an unfair advantage... As a 33-year-old, I'm begging you to PLEASE NERF the health regeneration! I believe the healing items should also be nerfed as well.
2. 𝙄𝙙𝙡𝙚 / 𝘼𝙁𝙆 𝙋𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙍𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨 - Player consequences should be more severe, because players are still continuing to abandon their teammates in the end game, and until some serious punishments are embedded into Pokémon Unite, this will unfortunately continue. Players idling causes other players to lose the game, which effects their win rate, and with that said, the other teammates on the team should not have to drop a rank or lose a "diamond" within their rank due to others / their negligence. The chances of winning may well rely on those 1-2 players helping out with the team fight around or after 2:00, but that team (usually yours) won't win, because those other two teammates are purposely "giving up" or just straight up helping the enemy team win. This is called "Trolling." Meaning, they intended to betray or quit on their teammates just for fun or just to be a lowlife loser. Once again, each individual player's rank or points (experience) should not be affected when a player decides to go afk / idle at any time within the game. Losing the game should ONLY affect the player(s) that abandoned their team.
On the other hand, I feel you should implement a reward system to those that lose because of this. For example, when your in-game prompt to surrender due to a teammate being idle pops up, the game should end, and each player that was still playing should receive a "diamond." This is truly fair, because as of right now, if a player or team loses due to one player being idle in early game, they all lose a "diamond."
3. 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙣 & 𝙃𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 - The only Pokémon that seem to have their stun skills balanced are Mamoswine, Comfey and Snorlax. Pokémon like Wigglytuff, Umbreon, Alolan Ninetails and Slowbro have ridiculous wait (stall) times for their stun / hindrance effects to end. It feels like FOREVER! It's SO ANNOYING! Please fix this.
4. 𝙈𝙚𝙬𝙩𝙬𝙤 (𝙔) - There are a lot of players trolling that believe spamming the "A Button" over and over until they mega evolve is a guaranteed win. It's super easy, cheap and lame. Please fix this, or at least nerf something related to this. For example, make the mega evolution happen on a later level like 8.
5. 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 - Here are some ideas that can give new players hints and seasoned players the tools they need to communicate with random players / their team.
• Join together so we can vanquish Rayquaza!
• Don't give up, we need your help.
• At (Insert Exact Spawn Time) help me at Regice / Regirock / Regieleki / Registeel.
• Where is my team?
• Stay in your chosen lanes.
• No, don't score. Help me over here.
• I can't win by myself.
• You need to help more.
6. 𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙄𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 - The costs for majority of the top tier Pokémon outfits are too high, even for the Pokémon licenses. I feel there should be a reward to unlock a free license each season which can be obtained at any time. Either that or allow players to choose a free gold / silver / bronze emblem or give players a FREE SUPER ITEM ENHANCER. Speaking of which, to not make your consumers go completely broke 😔, how about giving us a reward system to obtain a Super Item Enhancer. Yeah, that sounds like something people will work hard for! 🙂
7. 𝘼𝙙𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙇𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙨 (𝙏𝙮𝙥𝙚𝙨 𝙄𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙙) - Here are some Pokemon I know would be a great addition to the game:
• Steelix (Defender)
• Deoxys (Attacker / Defender / Speedster) - Depending Upon Items Held
• Miltank (Support)
• Delibird (Support)
• Samurrot (Attacker)
• Thundurus or Landorus
• Mudsdale (Defender)
• Chien-Pao (Speedster)
• Miraidon (Speedster)
[𝘾𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨] - I hope you at least consider some of these suggestions and fix the issues mentioned in this feedback. Not just for me, but for the Pokémon Unite community. Happy Holidays and thank you for making such a great game! Keep up the amazing work everyone.
