Can this ITEM save MEW from being MEDIOCRE?! | Pokemon Unite

[@isnanesavant]

Mew just takes so much effort compared to....anyone else. She doesnt even do exceptionally more damage even with full accurate inputs and aim.

[@toasteroven6761]

Mew is the prime example of how individual high skill/input in this game is punished, this becomes obvious when you compare it's input vs reward (as Cris stated near the end of the video) to many other Pokémon, most of which require less skill and input for the same or more reward/stats/value.

They just need to give Mew some damage buffs in it's solar beam because it barely does even half the damage that Venusaur's solar beam can do Buff their unite move to provide some kind of other buff like maybe some extra SP Defense to near by team mates whilst they are inside it They could lower the cool down to agility slightly due to it being an escape tool as well so it's not too broken Along with multiple others so that Mew can finally compare in power to the rest of the Attacker roster like Delphox and Pikachu

The problem isn't Mew being weak. Its that the Attacker role for it in Unite while that versatile and being a Support hybrid is too hard to balance in a way that is also just generally fun. If they accentuated its Support aspects followed by any necessary nerfs it should be in a much more playable spot while adding variety to the game, as we have too little Supports and more than enough Attackers.

Speedsters like Zoroark and Dodrio were hard to use for awhile but had incredible impact (especially with a pocket letting them control the entire game and play safely) when they landed their combos and players got better.

Mew should have more normal attack speed, and movement speed. To compensate for the lack of damage and hp. Give him back some of the hp recover from solar beam. Or more boosted damage. Compare to aramaruge or miraidon that have absurd range and power, speed and are more chunky and brain dead.

[@thomasne7901]

Yes exactly. Mew year 1 is one of the most toxic things I have ever seen in a video game. Solar beam nerfs helped make it less toxic. And the expert difficulty… Just takes a while to learn. Mew uses mostly sure hit moves so it’s probably the most reliable Pokémon in unite

[@Oliver-uz1fs]

@@thomasne7901 the only sure hit move mew has is e-ball though, mew takes a lot more effort than the best attackers atm, I would probably undo some solar beam nerfs in exchange of nerfing light screen, surf, agility, coaching and it's unite, not nerfing its damage apartment though since a mage is supposed to do damage, not being extremely mobile

Allow us to switch moves and combo, use our Unite Move strategically (especially since it had a damage nerf). Like...

imo it'd be more fun reworked into a Support, seeing as it already has the kit to accomplish this.

[@yalegreninja]

I still think that Mew is one of the most failed 'mons in the game. They just copied and pasted 5/6 moves of its kit from previous Pokémon and just added the "you can change your moves" gimmick. And after its nerfs, Electro Ball Pikachu, Solar Beam Venusaur and Surf Blastoise just do Mew's jobs better

[@niknat0073]

FAILED?? I CANT 😭You have shit like Duraludon or Gengar which are actually failed concepts. Mew is not meant to be stronger than Venusaur, Pikachu, and Blast combined since it is ONE mon. That's how it was on release, and it's been obviously nerfed as a result. The versatility it offers will never allow it to be "bad" - nerfs just end up raising the skill floor and reduce it's viability for solo carrying. Mew has been ever-present in comp since it was release, and is widely regarded as an S tier in that format. Mew is not a "failed" character lol

[@yalegreninja]

@@niknat0073 I don't know how to properly explain myself, but I'll try: I don't think Mew is failed in a "utility" way. I just think that Mew's kit is not "accurately designed" for it. I mean, I would've loved to see Mew using his iconic moves like Psychic or even Transform in the game, but we got a "boring" set formed by other 'mons' moves (only Coaching is Mew's "signature" move in this game). I know that for balancing reasons Mew should not be stronger than Pikachu, Venusaur etc. (that would be an issue), but I think that it should at least provide something different than these ones beside versatility, which is Mew's whole concept. But right now I just consider Mew as a "bad designed" Pokémon if i think about all the potential its kit could have according to the main games. Also I agree with you: there are Pokémon that are designed much worse than Mew... ...(two)

[@niknat0073]

@@yalegreninja Transform is equivalent to move reset in this game. Your moveset can transform into another one that serves a different purpose and acts like a different mon. Asking for a transform in a moba sounds pure cope. Psychic is also not mew's iconic imo and the unite move reminds me of the Z move. Versatility means providing a lot and it does provide more than pika/venu/etc with supportive abilities. For a mon that is supposed to be an ancestor of pokemon, doing a bit of everything and being a jack of all trades sounds pretty good to me Also there are far more failed examples. Mewtwos, Gengar, Duraludon, Goodra, Greedent, Azu and more

[@StudiousTome]

Came to find this comment when I saw is. I get it, mew is badly designed. It's not failed the way it is. It just doesn't represent Mew. Infinite options, no thought process. Mew is the mother of all mons. It should have Clefable Unite randomization for both if not all of its moves. You should be playing a grab bag and having fun playing it bcuz that's Mew. At least, imo. Unite moves could be the same, do no dmg itself, but give you a random other Unite move after stealth. Mew should be where you learn mixing moves is hard, but worth it sometimes.

Ppl say mew is weak now. I say it is a skill issue. Because we have all met that enemy mew that's just impossible to ko. That mew who just unites and see u watching as u curse the ppl who give him a 100% free escape. The problem with buffing mew is that i can not only escape everyone and everything, it can also hunt anyone in the game and there's no one who can tell him no. With the exception of mymikyu or slowbro unite. Guys, do u remember all the tournaments that mew literally decided the game because it could murder duotrio like nothing. That thing could run a duotrio down on full sprint and kill it with a combo of electro ball and basic and/or surf. The only reason new isn't doing all that now is because they lowered the dmg. But remember they literally didn't touch any of mews passives. If they buff it's dmg or cooldowns is going to be tournament mew all over again.

[@jakiru8783]

I agree it shouldn't be buffed. Its passive has been nerfed a couple times. Once was to the moveswap cooldown. Another was to the speed buff which also applies to allies. Personally I think it should just be reworked into a Support. It'd be more fun for more people and Mew already has the kit to make it work if they tweaked all its support aspects.
