You should only level your items up to 20 when you're new. Held items stop gaining additional effects at 20 and the difference between 20 to 30 is usually like, 10 attack out of hundreds. In addition, the item enhancer cost goes up exponentially.

I'm not sure what dota allows in their economy so maybe they do something similar but I've never seen a moba where you can pay for real money and get months worth of work that give you an in game advantage. Wolfey says that grinding out the item upgrades is easier now so maybe as you say it is no longer a big deal. Just existing is a problem. Let players pay for all the skins and drip they want for their pokemon. The whole point of a moba is to be the better skilled team. This requires.... no demands a level playing field. MMR systems try to label you and rank you against others so that you do have a chance to win against similar opponents. Are you telling me if I make a new account and play a game maybe i'll be matched with newer players. Will some of those new players be smurfs? Probably. Can the smurf buy max items and play against new players who don't have that? Seems like it. The playing field is not even. Money gives advantages in some cases even if they are few so yeah it's just greedy design and to me says that they don't really give a shit about a healthy game community. So does that 40 dollar skin lol. The game can be fun and you can enjoy it. But don't defend bad game design practices. If you've been paying attention more and more games keep getting away with this and it's going to become common place because we let it and defend it. There were literally people paying 10s of thousands of dollars on diablo immortal because it made their characters better. I would rather the game be 5 bucks if they so desperately need the money. Everyone pays one price. Everyone gets the same stats and advantages.

This isn't even me defending the system, this is me stating that it makes no practical difference to a new player with zero meta knowledge because level 20/30 held items and high tier emblem builds aren't going to drastically alter how they play the game. Comparing this to DIablo Immortal is laughable because it costs approximately $0 to be competitive in Unite.

You can't buy coins at all, they're just doing it because they're little dipshits who can't do anything right 2. tencent owns 5-10 gacha games that have been around for years, on top of COD Mobile which in and of itself has become their main cash cow.

i love this game so much, I'm grateful that so many people feel the same way! i wish the custom skins were a bit cheaper, seems like they should cost about 1/4 to 1/2 as much as they are now. you also forgot to mention that leveling a held item past 20 (which getting from 20 to 30 is like 5x the item enhancers you need to get from 1 to 20) doesn't really change much about most items, except maybe muscle band and scope lens for two very different reasons: muscle band's auto attack cooldown reduction only works when it's past a certain threshold which is different for different pokemon, i think it's because they only programmed in so many basic attack animation lengths. whereas scope lens is an item with no effect except crit rate enhancement, which is entirely linear with what level the item is at, so level 9 to level 10 has just as big of an impact as level 29 to level 30. i think maybe the held items got nerfed? because they don't seem to be very OP anymore, and I'm someone who joined maybe three months ago and have never spent a cent on leveling up items or anything like that, just unite licenses and a few of the 120-gem (~$2) skins. i managed to maintain a >2/3 winrate for three months without spending one red cent on iten enhancers. i would really love to see the smash community or top VGC players or some other video game community doing a big pokemon unite tournament, like the "smasher's gambit" chess tournament at smash summit a few years back, it's absolutely delightful to see people i know from VGC like you, people i know from melee like mang0 or lucky, people i know from ultimate like VoiD, etc. playing another one of my favorite games and having so much fun with it. this game rocks.

It's really not like making a game NOT pay-to-win is particularly hard. If you have a PvP multiplayer video game, never make something that you can buy with money able to make your character stronger. And don't make any characters that you can buy objectively, statistically better than others. That second one is admittedly harder to do than the first, especially when you end up with dozens, or even hundreds of characters, but seriously, it is ASTONISHING how often companies do the first one so shamelessly, decade after decade.

I came into unite as someone who had already been playing dota 2 for about 9 years at the time and was pleasantly surprised. It was pretty simplistic compared to what I was used to, sure, but that was kind of a nice accessibility and charm. Then around 2 months after the release I stopped playing and haven't touched it since cause I got bored of the simplicity lol. Well, that and got tired of how little teamwork there was and the frequency of afk or just outright bad teammates. Sometimes consider going back to try unite again, but at the end of the day I just much prefer dota. Still, if you don't want your mobas to take 600 hours to achieve baseline competency, then unite seems a pretty good choice, and it got some of my more casual friends to put quite a bit of time into it.

I remember being happy about the trailer. My then boyfriend loved mobas and I thought it would be a game we could play together since lol was way too hard for me to pick up. He never played long though. And playing alone felt not satisfying enough, so I stopped. Nearly a year later and after we broke up I just randomly decided to play again. And I fell in love with it (again?) Soon after I got back into the game, espeon was added. And espeon is one of my very favourite pokemon. I think the game can still improve a lot of stuff. But I am also very happy about the improvements that already happened. More diverse objectives outside of the matches, more creative characters, more fun game modes... But I think there are some things that will never be perfect. Like the balancing. buzzwhole for example. I heard many people say it really needed the recent buff, while I felt like it was an unkillable bug since release. (Never played it, only fought it) Matchmaking is another thing. I feel like every moba like game gets criticised for it. But I don't mind the matchmaking at all. I think I get a fair amount of games where I have higher ranked players and games where I am the highest ranked player. It feels evenly mixed. Afk players. Since I started playing on mobile I have way more compassion for afk players. Sometimes I just lose connection (not due to the game) and have to wait until I can rejoin the fight. That's because the only time I really get to play is while commuting from and to school. I get lag spikes on my way and walk into walls. I miss what lanes got called because the bus arrived earlier than anticipated. I don't try to make my team lose and I give it my all and I want to win. It just happens to be that life gets in the way sometimes. I also have more understanding for giving up early. Sometimes when I get tilted because of problems with my teammates, I just have no fun anymore. It's not fun being left behind not bei g supported to score or just plainly being griefed by your teammates. I dislike matches like that and ask for surrendering early, if we also happen to be losing. I think this game gets a lot of bad rep for the wrong reasons. I think a free to play game has every right to make cosmetics pricey. Even if its "for kids" (I think unite is more for teens) The energy lottery doesn't even come close to a loot box and the medals are nice and fun to collect. Pokemon unite is special to me. I never had a moba so cute and fun and easy to play. There is no toxic chat putting you down and there is not a mountain of things to know to have fun. And it's pokemon. So far for my thoughts. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

My experience with Unite: Downloaded it last week, started of with a Pikachu since I heard he is really good. Win 2 games in a row in regulars and wondering why the hell electroball is so powerful. Game throws money at me for various easy challenges I done, and I decide to look what's in store. I had money to buy any pokemon, and I chose without even looking up how good he is: Garchomp. Why him? He is my absolute favorite pokemon. So far, I build myself a comfortable for me build where I play very aggressively, killing players left and right and scoring a lot of points. Unlocked quite a few pokemon, even tho I don't use many of them. 42 (29 of them as Garchomp) battles, 3 loses (one of them beacuse of disconect). Most of the games I am the mvp. And I didn't even once lost while playing as a Garchomp. I am not disappointed in my pick
