Ranked matchmaking ISSUES

- We Understand that while Pokémon is aimed at a younger audience your older audience who grew up with it have a few words to say about match making and it’s terrible impact it’s had on the game for the last few matchmaking fixes
- YOUVE made it easy for anyone and everyone to make it into masters - which means that there’s no actual skill being displayed In higher ranks.
- Increase the level cap to enter ranked- the level cap to enter rank is so abysmally low that anyone can start playing rank in almost 1-2 hours. Which means someone who just started the game is now playing on serious tiered ceiling flooring without that experience.
- bring back demotions- the idea of demotions and struggling to get into masters separates casual players who are learning a new mon, new players who are just starting the game and serious players who are trying to get into 1600 plus.
- rank protection cards- once again another easy way for people to just waltz into masters with no awareness for what fights to take or avoid, how to stop a certain problem mon, etc. maybe not offering 10+ rank protection cards for losing, buying from the store, and buying them from the season passes. OR offer a masters ELO protection so players who are trying to grind don’t have to lose points because players are not actually trying or are throwing the game cause they lost one fight….
- Rank protection 2- bringing back demotions and allowing the rank protections from stopping you from being DEMOTED into a lower tier or class and not just losing a Diamond on your climb up to master would be the better way to deal with on a growth to mastery in playing this game.
- FIX YOUR REPORTING SYSTEM - there’s so many players throwing the game and dying purposely and reports flying around in game and there’s NO actual punishment or bans on that player .
- Players that don’t move- yes we can report players for not moving but they need to be unresponsive for 70+ seconds. WHICH IN THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME MAKES SENSE- but not WHEN THERES A MINUTE (60 SECONDS) left in the game, a team loses a ray fight, AND A MEMBER OF THE TEAM LEAVES. The game doesn’t register them as leaving for a REPORT TO GO THROUGH SUCCESSFULLY, but it knows there’s only 4 players in the game…. That’s a bit SILLY. Which means teams are down a player, they still lose points for losing, the report doesn’t go through and that player who left only loses 5 points for his good boy points which he gets back for completing the next game.
- a separate masters bracket- separate players who’ve been playing the game for 3+’years from accounts that have been playing for a month. Players are just automatically losing being paired with players who are still literally learning the map, don’t know timers, and have no actual technical skill while playing in the game. - you have so many new players or accounts being made or joining unite that you offer no way to actually enjoy matches from a high level ceiling or a low ceiling.
- Making a game enjoyable for everyone is possible. But not at the cost of allowing everyone to make it into masters so easily and disrupting the entire premise of RANKED. Players including myself are dropping 100s of points because of being paired up with MATCHES PLAYED 200 players or TIMES MADE IT TO MASTERS 1….
everyone has to start somewhere, we all did, and everyone deserves to enjoy the game- but it’s not enjoyable when players are getting crushed cause they’re new, or when you’re doing everything to win a fight and your new guy is scared to fight, or going after wild Pokémon and not helping the fight.
- Be better unite. You mean to tell me YOUVE made millions off this game alone and you don’t have a team to monitor gameplay before during or after the game to verify if someone is dying purposely, or not helping at all?
