    Pvp Rewards 25s

    I would actually prefer if they made it 2x31 and 4x29 like how it is being offered as CC prizes.  This implementation would in no way make CC's less desirable because CCs have a monetary reward in addition to the comp prize + require lesser number of wins to obtain such prizes.

     

    These current comps are not useful for PvP.

    Agreed, it's not like they're "giving" people these PvP comps neither. You still have to win 35 games or whatever it is to get it. Hell if it's that much of a deal, increase it to 50 wins or whatever. I'm sure people wouldnt mind as long as they're getting a comp they can actually use at the end of it.

    I agree, but the thing is: right there lies the skill of counter building, anyone can randomly pick mons that beat your opponents previous team, however it takes skill to build something on the spot that beats your opponents previous teams (not just the one from the very previous round but also the other teams they might’ve used in earlier ones) while having your build not insta losing to other metagame cores.

    I guess so - but I feel like if youre good enough at making teams you should have multiple teams made in advance, and be able to freely switch between those. I get that some people may not have that option, as they may not have access to all the comps etc. But this argument could also be pushed the other way too  - someone who hasnt got all the comps doesnt have to worry about being counter teamed because their opponent knows theyre playing them next and just counter teams them. I just cant see how it's a bad thing for the game to have the shuffle brackets honestly other than the whole "glorified matchmaking" argument which honestly to me isn't really an argument because you're gonna know after a certain amount of rounds anyways that you're either gonna be playing like 1/7 or 1/3 people etc.

    Like it was stated before, now ppl will just run one team they believe will cover the most, making tournaments way more monotone and boring.

    I can see this yeah, but at the same time even tiers like OU are kinda stale and in the old bracket system even the same cores/or like 4/6 mons in a specific team were ran a lot. So I dont think this is a great basis for an argument as it was somewhat similar in the old meta too. An example is that screens setup team that SO MANY people ran in UU before this update. This is just one example of a team, but theres obviously countless examples of actual cores that people use and just switch out 1-2 mons. This is pretty boring too, the issue isnt the bracket - the issue is that the people who play this game lack creativity in their team builds most of the time.

    Lmao for starters, I don’t even counterbuild.I enter tournaments with 4 or 5 already solid prebuilt teams and I just pick whichever one seems to be better against what my opponent has been using. The closest to counter building I’ve done in recent years is changing a single mon in an already built team (like one time I ran se ferrothorn va orange in my hail room team). 

    Even though I don’t really counterbuild per se, I think that saying that doing it is skilless is one of the worst arguments I’ve seen in the entire thread (and to be fair I haven’t seen many at all) but don’t take it from me:

    Referring to what Rendi says about "making an effective cteam to your oppo and not losing the rest of your meta" That's just not the case at all. I'd say in alot of cases when people make these counter teams, their teams they make are insanely weak to another core, or even another mon sometimes also. It's impossible to cover everything when you're building thats just how it is. But if you're confident enough in your ability to build teams and understand the teams you're making then you should be able to win against any team as long as you play properly.

    @Kyu please revert this. Some offensive matchups in dubs games with speed control (trick room, tailwind) and strong spread moves (chandelures heatwave, abomasnows blizzard) can end match really really quickly, sometimes in as few as 5 turns. 
     

    I dont think it should be reverted completely, because I've seen a few times where people have matched either friends/teammates and just gave them the win. Imo this isnt right, but I also agree that for dubs it's a bit much, I'd say lower it in doubles to like 7 turns maybe. 

    Dev why did you add sylveon hat as limited time reward? and not tradeable?

    The hat (this could LITERALLY be any item though) is there as an incentive to keep people engaged with PvP over the 3 month period of the season. Otherwise people wont want to grind for it because why would they if theres nothing to work towards at the end? 

     

    It works the same way as you (I assume if you dont play PvP) grind money ingame to get something you want, whether it be a shiny, or a vanity, or even money to hatch for an OT shiny. These are all examples - then it gives incentive to keep going to the end point, because without that whats the point? 

     

    Just like you, PvP players need something to grind towards also. Plus honestly, over a 3 month period, that's like less than 6 wins a day on average to get the hat assuming you play everyday like most of us do. So it's really not that hard to get when you think about it either way.

    @Kyu Can we at least get the rest of the other IVs to be like 29+, most of us use comps already with those IVs (if not better) So grinding to 35 wins etc is literally pointless to get a gift mon that's gonna sit in your box and get no use at all. I get that it's there to give us incentive etc to play, but this just seems kinda stupid when youre grinding for no reason when you can just make a better IV'd comp for about 300K.
