BUFFING LIQUIDATION INTELEON is a Massive MISTAKE | Pokemon Unite

[@Cosob13]

Whoever thought buffing point and click moves was okay at Timi’s headquarters need to get fired. But I’m going to assume it was a collective idea so they all need to get fired

[@DaFlyingSeal]

Should’ve just reworked this boring ass move

[@RemeTiers]

point and clicks are such a horrible subclass of a move

[@ciranopunalesvigliarolo3788]

They don't play the game, they probably did beacuse of it having low winrate/pick rate.

Amazing how Inteleon received only a single buff and it instantly became a major threat again.

[@hundredfireify]

It was dog crap before. But Cris is cracked at the game, so even a tiny buff let him make it shine

[@rajerrrmuahhh5466]

Out of the water and ice roster, they decided to buff the auto clickers 😭

Snipe shot doesn't need to be easy to hit or else it removes the skill expression of the move

The opponents team's Inteleons HP was full and got halved in a few seconds by Liquidation. 😭

[@KaiTheMemeKing]

IMO liquidation would be fair as a sure-hit if it A, had a max range, and B, did less damage the farther away you are from your target. Give icicle spear the same treatment and unite will feel way better

[@halvsketchy9293]

Idk why they buffed inteleon and glaceon instead of pokemon that actually need it. Now point and click adventure will just be even more miserable to play against

[@InteleonEnjoyer]

it’s a small patch we don’t know what the bigger one has yet

[@Prince_Icarus]

Title is greatly exaggerated because rn Liquidation is just “pretty good” I’d say Glaceon is a bigger issue atm than Pond

[@halvsketchy9293]

@@Prince_Icarus ah yeah, glaceon getting the buff was even worse. But they should have left both were they were. Both were already slightly overtuned (inteleons mostly due to fell stinger+snipe shot though)

[@lloydter]

Instead of buffing point and click moves with things like damage or cool down they should have changes thing around those movesets. Like they could have buffed acrobatics and maybe reduce the speed debuff it gets in liquidation. Another example is the new change pikachu would be getting with it's volt tackle that is the speed buff after the move, tho they should also take this as an opportunity and nerf it's CD by 1sec bcoz it's a stupid move but the speed buff is definitely cool. Glad they realized this with the glaceon changes and didn't buff the damage of ice spear, tho it's still a stupid moveset.

[@DaFlyingSeal]

8:50 minor misplay he should’ve fell stingered wall parallel to t2 instead of basic attacking.

[@toemtoma3941]

I think type adventage would be funny for a quick battle side mode or something, that way they don't have to think about balance

[@sunrisevibes7638]

Pokemon typing applying to the in game battle introduced into pokemon unite as a hypothetical, would have to have a type advantage balance system of some sorts, also it have to be something like each team would have a counter to one another, so maybe a set combo of each typing for each to select, and it's rerolled every game but balanced? idk tho..

[@whaleboyykyogre6063]

I think im gonna still play snipe shot, cuz damage is absolutely mental on that move

[@fortnitehero3579]

The good things Pokemon unite did:...... The bad things Pokemon unite did:Pokemon unite.....

[@4maire]

Hot take. I actually agree with this buff. The new releases (Ceruledge, Gyarados, and even Mimikyu) as well as every speedster can still easily jump on Inteleon. Liquidation was HEAVILY nerfed and I feel like it definitely needed that buff.

[@bruh_moment2833]

Well if you play snipe shot and back line from afar you wouldn’t suffer those problems as frequently

[@4maire]

@@bruh_moment2833 Not quite. Pokémon like Absol still have a pretty big chance of running you down and kiting. But I don’t play much Snipe Shot so ig i’m bad at it lmao

[@Grahamster1999]

I wish they would make inteleon's stealth less clunky. If sableye can sprint around in stealth I wish inteleon could just walk at a normal pace while in stealth

[@nopt1861]

I still prefer snipe shot because it is so satisfying seeing attacker HP get cut in half in one shot and being able to check bushes without getting ko by the enemy speedster

[@yahata5699]

They should've reworked liquidation before buffing it. It's broken for a point and click

[@melodylove99]

why a rework?

[@AriesSheep]

I just hope liquidation doesn't outperform Snipe shot and I just hope they dont nerf inteleons crit damage because of Liquidation

[@liquidglitch1244]

Yeah I mean I complain a lot about my play rough Mimikyu but then I see stuff like this and I’m like is it really so bad? (It is but man this game loves its bs lol)

[@AnkitSharma-ik9ob]

We got inteleon as james bond before gta 6

[@joshuakoh1291]

James Pond* Or James Porn 😂

[@KaiTheMemeKing]

We got the OG James Pond, then it got nerfed, THEN JAMES POND CAME BACK before we got GTA 6

[@jakiru8783]

Definitely feels back again. Ehh I don't think Wigglytuff is great so can't say I'm surprised it wasn't used competitively. Hopefully we can see those Rollout/Dazzling-Gleam changes soon but mostly I'm hoping for a unite buff or rework.

[@fen_u9401]

bro, liquidation back then was so broken losing about half or over half hp from a sure hit as an attacker was... traumatizing i think if they wanted to buff liquidation, i would buff the cooldown, so that it can do consistent medium damage from the back (something similar to e-ball pikachu, without volt tackle). dunno if they needed to do a damage buff like they did🥲

[@neighborhood_nova]

We are so back, Intel boys eating!

[@toocasual7255]

[@redbunn2282]

I like how the devs way of thinking to 'Balance' characters is by buffing them to the point they will do absurd amount of Damage

[@thefreshvince879]

its literally icicle spear that u dont have to charge, its insane

[@xxearth_angelxxmixes2612]

As an intel main im not the happiest... just means not being able to play him anymore cuz of draft.

Same here buddy 🫂

They should've buffed the self slow or acrobatics or literally anything but the damage on this move.

[@nikunjkhangwal]

Good thing Talonflame is my favourite pokemon Fly is eternal

[@miketheperformer5972]

I think type matchups could work if it was a special mode. Like full fury was. Something for fun, not necessarily balanced.

[@AzoiatheCobra]

Honestly i would love the type advantages to have an effect, but in a casual mode

[@BeastPoke777]

Congratulations for 150k cris🎉

[@BRAWL_Joker0]

liquidation buffs are fine and all but man Inteleon basics do crazy damage

[@smokeybandit3787]

The only thing that's unbalanced is peoples brains & matchmaking. I had a charizard judge our team comp whilst playing drain crown & x attack

[@nightfrost3041]

Jumped on it right away and think it’s good. Still not good though when your whole team is attackers and others refuse to play defender/support haha. Often the curse of first picking in draft for me

[@zachpayne4478]

Liquidation would be more fun as a skill shot like water shirkin

[@rosenbergbenadretti]

It's finally playable again, not OP at all. I hate it when content creators, who do this for a living (therefore, excel at the game), think that an average-to-good player would do this numbers (with all due respect)

[@jordandindyal1622]

Buffed because snipe shot is easy to dodge and it’s the only build that was viable since the last liquidation nerfs

[@pro_kasla]

Welp now we gonna see alot of inteleon again bc ever since liquidation was nerfed Noone played it like it was bad even tho snipe shot of op asf unite players fr these days like yesturday I've seen glaceon like alot almost every single round again after the buff

[@pro_kasla]

[@kuroginava8498]

they buffed it for the same reason they buffed Blaziken and Slowbro the battlepass.

[@miguelangelmendez7767]

That's a funny looking Glaceon.

[@melodylove99]

everyone was saying it's bad so it's fair they buffed it

[@Reshikrom_]

I feel like they should nerf how often you’re able to get the guaranteed crit counter. It’s way too easy to keep the amount up, and would also force people to think more about how and when to use them

[@UniteMemeMan]

Whatever cris or the ppl say, liquidation needed a buff. Against speedsters and attackers it was alright but facing tanks was horrible.

[@picochupi]

*Deep inhale* I'm gonna say it, I think Inteleon deserves the love. Honestly, there are WAY more annoying pokemon since his debut. It is true there are definitely more Pokemon that deserve it, but I'm glad the sniper lizard is finally getting love considering they practically went extinct in battles

[@benny-yj1fw]

Snipe shot still better....especially with mimrikryu and cereludge in meta

[@avianjones4886]

Watching this is way more entertaining than watching him play snipe shot

[@jicsboli06]

Oh noo, not this bullshit again. Liquidation is one of the most obnoxious moves with no counterplay, much like Icicle spear. I can't believe they buffed this move again.

[@razzzzzzzerc2905]

Love how moves you don't have to control or aim, and that can't be blocked, avoided or out run are balanced in this game, they feel very balanced and fair, not frustrating at all, and they have a lot of skill expression, i love just clicking moves. They surely need to be stronger than skill moves as well, i mean, they need to be rewarded for not having to aim at all right?

[@mr.saints7026]

Crisheroes got 25 K.O. with a character in SoloQ, wow, never seen something like this. With the same logic Greninja had to be NERFED months and months ago. Here we go again. Liquidation was one of the worst and most unpopular set in the entire game after nerf: really no possible reason for using it over snipe shot. Now the damage is back reasonable again and it still worse than other point-and-click moves like icicle spear of psystrike: can be interrupted so easily, no AOE, slow by 60%, good damage not easy to land in group fight. And I thing Acrobatics should be buffed as well, reducing CD by 1 sec (charging critical counter without fell stinger is too slow and unfun). I really cannot understand why you hate this pokemon so much. This time it's undefensible your complaining about this buff, you're talking about it like if they just buffed mimik...... oh...

[@Skeletonpie.]

no

[@morliist1413]

Smart players also will stay in wall directions, preventing you from using Fell stinger and escaping🤕. People not even played this pokemon and know nothing about it, but still yapping.

Bruh people need to stop crying about the liquidation buff 😂 inteleon is still easy to dive and ko.

Stacking makes liquidation cruel. Tho it's hard to stack with intel and getting higher levels is more beneficial for liquidation which might be hindered by going for stacks and not getting enough exp bcoz of the high chance of failure it carries.

Whoever is genuinely mad about this one mediocre buff needs to get a grip. This is 2 matches of a good player with a huge level lead playing against idiots. Go play Inteleon in your own matches and youll see how barely different the damage is.

[@SergalCheeseHead]

You're asking too much of people Streamer posted his le epic curb stomp with *insert Pokemon using insert move* so it's OP and needs nerf Meanwhile in reality, the buff simply made Liquidation viable again. Inteleon still mainly relies on his boosted basic attacks and Unite move for KO.
