0 Quinn010 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 the tier is slowly dying, why would a new player choose lc over other tier when you can play 2 tours a week. Link to comment
0 hannahtaylor Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 LC is/potentially can be (saying it's not at the moment because of matchmaking) more popular than doubles. Why was doubles added and not LC? kuplion, HumongousNoodle, NoNouGatine and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Were that the case, though I highly doubt it is not, then what better way to completely kill a tier than not support it with the new features all the other tiers get..? Surely if the tier was dying then a better option would be to reinvigorate it with easier access to matches and ranking, and compensate the players who have invested in the tier in the same manner as the other tiers receive.

How is it dying when you get more and more players on tournaments ? Also that is the point, adding a way to play more than 2 times a week would give it more popularity TheFrenchiestFry and hannahtaylor 2 Link to comment
0 OrangeManiac Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'm all for Little Cup matchmaking, I think it absolutely should be added. but... Can we just stop throwing unnecessary shade at Doubles and try to sacrifice Doubles in the name of Little Cup? Doubles clearly is not even the least popular format in matchmaking, as getting in the top 100 requires the 2nd highest rating of all 4 formats. You can hate Doubles all you want but at least get some facts straight. Why not focus on the point that matchmaking for all 4 formats has been successful for the most part, therefor you can argue there's room for one more possibly.

Thanks for your support, will be needed if we want to get this matchmaking ! Also, I, personnaly, think that Dubs is as popular as LC, there is no point in shading Dubs to get LC matchmaking since we know it's possible to get them all at the same time. My point was only to ask why we're getting Dubs and no LC yet. I don't know how it's supposed to work but I don't really get why we got a huge update adding NU UU and Dubs matchmaking, ignoring the fact LC exist. I'm not playing Dubs because I don't understand the tier at all, and I'm not interested to focus into it but I still support the fact players are able to have a real and stable matchmaking about that.

0 LifeStyleNORE Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 What Orange said and imo the least active tier in matchmaking seems to be NU. Couldn't get a match in 5 queues in a row (with 0 games happening while at it), while UU had 8+ games going on and Dubs had 10+. I also feel LC kinda has its own playerbase just like Doubles, usually people who play OU also venture into UU/NU but there are lots of people who only play Doubles or LC.

The thing is, imo, it's hard for a new player to get into LC with only 2 tours a week, unless you know someone who play LC, it's kinda hard to step up, build your teams etc.. I think LC Matchmaking would be a great add about that, and could also maybe give a new source of training for actual LC players who might need/want it TheFrenchiestFry and kuplion 2 Link to comment

0 GasaiYunoSan Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 We all know that the reason why UU and DUBS have overshadowed NU this season were the awards, the UU and DUBS hats are in my opinion (and almost everyone's I think) the best of this season, they will think it is absurd , but no, I have seen how many people have dedicated to UU and DUBS just because of the hat, it will sound absurd but it is the truth, the NU hat attracts few players. This is not the only reason, of course, but it is a big reason this season. Link to comment

0 Guest Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Bloody hell, people wetting themselves about Porygon in the December Tier thread for a tier still not in the matchmaking system for whatever reason, buuump Edited November 29, 2020 by Guest It won't ruin the economy staff, I swear xD Link to comment
0 hannahtaylor Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Having matchmaking will definitely get us a more accurate view of what pokemon are troublesome and running the tier. They would be more battles to help add to the statistics. Playing a tier with no matchmaking is hard, matchmaking would bring in a lot more players and therefore actually help with the economy as people breed new mons.

0 xSparkie Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Bump, please add LC matchmaking. It's hard to test out teams since majority of them are during work hours (at least for EST ppl) TohnR, Quinn010 and Laz 3 Link to comment

0 NoNouGatine Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Despite all the efforts made by @Poufilou, LC Matchmaking would be really huge for any reason that has been called on this thread. There are like 2 (sometimes 3) LC tournaments in a week, and unless you know people who play LC, it's really hard to get into it without being breaked by litteraly every single player who knows the tier already. It would solve the issue of this tier being so hard to start, and aswell would solve the issue of popularity. I see no good reason to avoid this matchmaking, but maybe there are, can you atleast give an answer to our expectations ? We've been waiting a lot now. Link to comment
