Bro, you're already a legend. You don't need a silly badge to verify that

I give free wins sometimes. If they are clearly in the set that would help them rank up, I will try to top left before the end of the battle if I am in a winning position. Trainer was veteran trying to hit expert yesterday and was at like 2730s- final matchup I got skarmory aligned on their wiggly and it was over lol, threw 4 steel wings and top-lefted. If you are out there.. hope you made it dude!! And get to legend next!!

@alibimcjohnson6929 You get expert rank for instance at 2750. Therefore if I face someone who's anywhere from 2700-2750, and they aren't expert yet, I know it could be the set that they rank up if they go positive. Same for legend. If I face someone at 2990 ELO, I know this set would be their legend set if they go positive. So likely to give the free win at that ELO.

For the last almost 2 months, at least 2 battles every set has some point where the game lags in such a way that it becomes almost impossible to come back and pull off a win. I have a year old device, great Internet connection, I turn off almost every app on my device, I restart the phone every couple sets, nothing changes the issues at hand. I haven't spent money on this game in a couple years now, and have thousands of coins because I refuse to invest in the game when it can't keep itself straight from update to update.

I have also only hit Legend through special cups. I find that the limited metas make the games more about matchup knowledge and identifying win conditions. Not to say that the open leagues don't require those, but the teams in open leagues are so varied that you can't always make correct predictions.

QOTD: Lanturn being unnerfed is good for the meta. Taking Lanturn out of the meta, as the Remix Cup showed me, has lead to such a funneled experience that causes way too little diversity. Since Lanturn ends up being the only water people want to use, it keeps other obnoxious threats at bay.

QOTD: I feel like, once you hit legend rank, you should only be able to battle those in the same rank as you, some trainers tank on purpose to get to the lowers ELOs and then basically gatekeep the ranks and not play, but toy with the trainers, making them think they have a chance. I think it's pretty unfair for trainers in lower ranks to battle against those who tank on purpose.
@mattsumpter34973 ай бұрын
Qotd: when deciding between optimal move timing versus quicker debuff-say, Steelix versus Mantine-do you opt for immediate debuff with poor dragon-tail timing, or do you stick with optimal timing, even if it means two or three dragon tails that don’t hit with an opponent’s defense debuffed? HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL.
