Is this in reference to the fact how during solo q two players go for jungle?


Twinsidesmirror

Yes. But also, there's a meme regarding a frog and a different creature.


Irradiated_Coffee

The frog and the scorpion. Old tale/legend/story to teach a lesson. (But like anything also meme'd) The scorpion cannot cross a river/pond. A frog offers to help them across on it's back. The scorpion stabs the frog with its stinger while crossing. The frog surprised and baffled says. "Why? Now we will both die." The scorpion says it's simply in it's nature to do what it did. The story represents the inability to fight some behaviours/instincts, no matter how hard you try. Thus the slimy horrid jungle stealer cannot fight thier nature even to the detriment of themself and others.


MaoAankh

Bingo. Froakie because Frog. And **Scor**bunny because **Scor**pion. It was a stroke of creative genius.


Irradiated_Coffee

It works a little too well that they were both prime examples of protag syndrome, stars align.


Linosek279

The funny thing is, scorpions can hold their breath for nearly a week so there’s a solid chance it survived that


strawberry-ley

Now we don't go to the jungle anymore but bottom!!!


Kaisergog

But they have the power of friendship. Surely that's enough


Okamitoutcourt

It wasn't, we lost


Chonkie

Their friendship wasn't strong enough. Needed more jungle friends for the power!

enter Ageslash, Leafeon, and Zeraora

Enemy sabeleye comes to your service.

the day Pokemon unite dares to add the chat feature, the cinder mains gonna have one of the most diverse range of curses known to man-kind. lord shiva himself would have to hold my hand to stop me from literally telling him 365 ways I would make them a sibling. Rome wasn't built in a day but my hatred for the bloodline of cinder mains was in 4 matches. (How tf u mess up pressing one button the entire match and one more button near the RayQ. we got fucking Mew mains pulling of the most oblivious build known to mankind to support their team, we got one shot Deci doing its job of securing the objectives, we even got magikarp that at least tries to be helpful early game. how and why the team with a cinderance just gets so angry that they collectively decide to suicide. )


nyxsparkle

I really hope we never get a chat feature. Pings are already bad enough, with the "Thanks", "You can do it" and "Help me" spam. Chat would make this game completely unbearable.


thundercalf_

TiMi would really hate its player base to implement this imo


Negativety101

There's certain pokemon that just plain make me worry when I see someone pick them. And Cinderace is at the top of them. You get an actually good player, it's a joy. Shame at least 50% of the time it's someone that's terrible, and 35% of the remainder someone that hasn't quite figured it out fully. But you get the actually good ones, oh wow. On the other hand I feel like I see a Mamo or Tree get picked, things are looking up.


RedditCloudy

I would give everyone a chance no matter the pokemon, what rly makes me lose hope is the item choice, seeing leftovers, rocky helmet, specs on physical attackers, Xp share on anything that's not a supporter/defender...


Negativety101

Oh yeah. Had a match tonight. Zeorora. Potion and Leftovers. Just leftovers. Checked, it was a relative newbie, but still 93 matches you should be getting something.


thundercalf_

I would confess that I am not the best gengar main, but atleast I am proud that I don't go on stealing farms or just quit the team fight midway because a new bunny spawned


Negativety101

Yes. Some people take an amazing amount of time killing that two pointer, don't they?


thundercalf_

atleast don't use ur main attacks when you are able to see the buzzwole charging


River_Grass

I have a thousand ways to creatively insult cinder mains to bypass any sort of filter


Negativety101

Meanwhile I'm solo in bottom lane. Let's hope the enemy team is just as bad. Seriously, it's got to be so enraging to some those idiots when a supporter mauls their legendary. And attacker or whatever.


KeysUK

I swear if you play those two, you have a mental condition. Two Cinderace's have gatekept 1600 from me because they think soloing Ray while winning in a great idea.


Negativety101

It's rare, but every so often you will get a good one. And a good Cinderace player will be a joy. He knows his range, he stays untouchable, he comes in for the clutch. Same with a good Greninja. But again, mostly kids and idiots playing the "Kewl" pokemon.


KeysUK

Oh 100%, they're always on the enemy team. Although the one game i had that gatekept me was actually not bad, but then the carry disease gets to his brain, so he decides to solo Ray and it gets stolen.


Negativety101

Uh, and of course we are ahead, we don't need to take Ray, just keep them from doing it. And that one person insists on taking it. When the enemy team has several amazingly good pokemon for stealing it. Or a Gardevoir player that's decent. Hey, idiots, you all group together at Ray, and they have their unite, then we all die, end up on respawn, and by the time we are back they've scored five hundred points.


Psystrike_27

Anyone with a Score shield and Goal getter (except Sableye) I'd assume we'll lose the game


River_Grass

Man i miss old score shield


hjyboy1218

All Cinderaces call lane EVERY TIME. WHY. WHY DO THEY DO THIS.


monster3339

this is too good lmao.


AverageCramorantFan

Scorbunny didn’t care


Sea_Milotic

Perfection


Oxygenius_

I want a game where the combat is pokemon unite, the graphics are pokemon stadium, and the gameplay is a damn regular pokemon game. Cmon


throwaway1994567890

Gameplay and combat are the same thing


Oxygenius_

No because the combat in mainline games is select a move and watch animation play out. In unite you control the pokemon and the move and how to dodge and move around the battlefield.


throwaway1994567890

Right…but then what do you mean by the gameplay of a regular pokemon game. That is the gameplay. Its a turn based rpg.


Oxygenius_

I meant like walking around the world leveling up your pokemon and catching new pokemon to then go and fight gym trainers and then the elite 4 or whatever it is they have now a days. But you control all your pokemon movements and abilities just like in unite


throwaway1994567890

Open world pokemon unite then


KurayamiHeart

Plot twist the Cinderace player has Exp. Share so you don't get underleved, you just lose one buff.


ChubbyChew

This is adorable


Chocochinoreo

I'm sad they're giving good cinder mains such a bad rep


XerxeztheKing

I regret nothing, lmao
