About the "Thanks" ping. A QOL change I'd LOVE to see is to have a "Sorry" ping as well. Because sometimes you make a wrong decission or accidentally steal a farm from your mates. And often I feel an apology would prevent them from retaliating for no other reason that to quit pro quo. Which is stupid, yes, but a "sorry" would often prevent that.

I wish you would have touched upon the other side of the positioning coin. If you're an attacker, don't YOLO in ahead of your defender. If you're going to a fight together and the attacker is in front, they need to stop and let the defender go past. No matter how much the defender wants to be in front, that's not going to happen if the attacker tapes down their control stick and charges full speed ahead, they aren't just going to magically appear in front. Also if you're an attacker and your defender is engaging in a fight, please participate in that fight. Unless you're at critical health, the defender is there to draw aggro and get vision to help you attack the enemy. Not to draw aggro and die in a 2v1 so the attacker could run back and hide in a bush. Defenders are friends, not bait. Or they're kind of bait, but you need to be the hook and not just throw the bait out, shrug and walk away.
@MusicComet4 ай бұрын
So true! Had that time where I was defender and wanted to go first to defend but chandy was just zooming past me for no reason. And the amount of times either of your allies just don't try to engage the ray fight and just wait to be hit by a stray move is frustrating.

Not sure how well known this is - one of my favorite communication tools is opening the chat wheel then pressing the score button. When you have no points, it will ping “I need some energy!” which is great for stacking mons to remind their allies to leave the stray Aeos energy on the ground or allow the stacker to get a last hit. Alternatively, if you have points in your pocket, that ping will say “I can score a goal for [number] points!” which is great when you push a goal zone and have a chance to set up a big overcap.
@sirwhoa4 ай бұрын
For my fellow toxic gamers out there, this can also be used passive aggressively lol. If I’m about to drop 50 into a goal and my teammate walks up to break that goal with 7 while my score is still charging, chances are I’m gonna stop and look at them, then ping “my Unite Ball is full with 50 points of energy!” Since losing out on an overcap like that is a game-throwing play in many cases, the people need to learn!
@gr8vegetables4 ай бұрын
As someone who fills roles I've been playing defender or support mons a majority of the time. I tend to be the cheerleader for the team. I love pinging "Keep the pressure on!" when we are taking objectives, breaking goal zones, or just winning fights. I also enjoy spinning with my allies. I have ADHD and even in my games I can't sit still and wait for my farm. If we clearly won the match, nothing is better than doin' the dancey dance :)

I think the one I have the most problems among these is map awareness and Rayquaza. The first is an easy trap when you panic from not scoring, meaning you try to get a score as quickly as possible and your team goes down because you aren’t helping and the opponent is a higher level. I have been on both sides. For Ray, I just have moments when I forget to watch the timer and I am scoring after the 2:30 mark without knowing. ADHD brain goes brrrrrrrrrr! I am also slowly learning the communication thing off solo play. I especially need it at times when I am trying to hold off opponents on a side no one is noticing.
