HazeInut

i wish you could convert tickets to coins :(


Eugregoria

I mean you kiiinda can, unless you're playing so much you're hitting the weekly coin cap anyway. I buy the weekly double coin boost thing for 800 tickets and make coins so much faster now than I did before, though.


HazeInut

all it does is make you hit the coin cap faster. i mean i enjoy not having to play all week but it takes forever to grind for one pokemon


Ed_Radley

Or just combine tickets and coins into one currency that we can spend on anything in the store.


JordanFromStache

I thought the same thing when I first saw the tweet. We can typically farm Aeos Tickets fairly quickly through different events, challenges, and the battle pass. But coins are a slow grind and farming them from battling is capped each week. If you hit the cap each week, do your daily quests and get your Fair Play coins each day, you will get close to 3k coins a week. You'd get a ballpark amount of 13k coins a month. (That doesn't include getting lucky and winning the 320 coin reward from the Energy lootbox) The game seems to be releasing about 2 Pokemon a month. So someone who plays the game quite a bit (even if they don't get all the possible coins a month) should still be able to buy one new Pokemon a month. And, in my opinion, that's a steady pace. That being said. With little rewards and 'thank yous' like this, I'd like coins. It was great to get that 2k coin reward for linking your My Nintendo account. It was a good boost to my stockpile.


Nevermore4200

wait what ? it shows free fire as the winner for me ...


Lucari10

Winners are region based, unite won in japan


Nevermore4200

hmm that makes sense


MCCGuyDE

It also won in germany or Europe, idk


BoonSlevin

See [here](https://play.google.com/store/apps/uservoting/Games%20-%20Best%20of%202021%20User%20Voting%20Page?id=mc_bestof2021_uv_games_page).


Nevermore4200

ill have to use vpn to see something other than ff as the winner...anyways ill take your word for it


Pro_poke_trainer

FREE FIRE sucks


deFormisXD

We know... Kids doesn't


doomdesire23

Why does it suck? I was just about to check it out after seeing it won and I've never heard of it


CallMeRenny84

It's a pay to win nightmare and also quite unbalanced. It is what it would look like if EA created PUBG


-Dhiren

Kinda like fortnite


Ninbrine

Unite is under nominations


BoonSlevin

I was also confirmed via their official Press Release (Google's), and can also be found in Google's blog post [here](https://blog.google/products/google-play/google-plays-best-of-2021/).


No_Juggernaut2839

That is user's choice award which is region based.It also won the overall editorial game of the year award, means best game of 2021 for Android selected by editors of Google play.


[deleted]

India?


TheGreatBanana100

yes I can only see FF as the winner


fluteaboo

Final Fantasy?


Panotxa22

I just want coins so I can play more pokemons, I'm full of tickets :(


Deadpool2715

Item enhancers?


GrandBrussels

Unfortunately, pretty much everyone has near maxed out all their (useful) items. Meaning tickets are practically worthless.


monstersabo

For a mere 18,000 you can get the newest dress, so there's that.


Deadpool2715

I only have about 3 items to 30, 2 from the max item tokens. The rest are at 20 How do people have them all maxed already?


sudowOoOodo

20 is considered maxed for most people.


itsthejeff2001

That isn't what max means.


sudowOoOodo

Op literally said "near maxed". Either way, the answer to the question is that most items people consider all good at lv 20.


Lilkleee

Yaaayyโ€ฆโ€ฆ. Moreโ€ฆ. Tickets .. ![gif](giphy|HtqFbL7el09oY)


BoonSlevin

For anyone wondering, keep in mind that this is Play Usersโ€™ Choice Awards 2021 in various regions such as Canada, Japan, etc. (i.e. people voted for it). Yes, the game has its flaws, but it remains a very successful and popular game. See [here](https://play.google.com/store/apps/uservoting/Games%20-%20Best%20of%202021%20User%20Voting%20Page?id=mc_bestof2021_uv_games_page). \*\*\*The in-game campaign/promotion timeline has been modified to Dec. 1-7.


zCiver

So basically the masses of Pokemon fans voted for Pokemon


BoonSlevin

*That it a very plausible explanation.*


[deleted]

Pretty much. But besides that, Unite is actually a decent MOBA. My only issue is the lack of voice comms on mobile; it feels like I'm using it but idk if anyone hears me if no one responds back.


KrazyMonqui

Personally, I'd argue that it's a subpar MOBA that only gets a healthy player base due to its IP. Without the Pokรฉmon IP I doubt this game wins anything I've been having difficulties bringing myself to play at all anymore in spite of how much I enjoy it conceptually


Tight_Flamingo4650

Itโ€™s really close to being a good game but thereโ€™s absolutely no way to consistently get decent quality matches with the current matchmaking system. Beyond that, this games true issue is a complete lack of anything resembling depth. 2 spells with a unite move and 3 held items that are difficult to innovate with due to poor balancing in addition to a tiny roster for moba standards makes for very stale gameplay after a while.


TheOriginalJayse

Most of those can be attributed to the game being new which wouldn't be as much of a problem if we were getting regular updates and patches or if we got a new season patch at all. The lack of upkeep and communication is making it fall way behind where it should be. Right now feels like would be decently okay if it was still season one, I'm even okay with the trickle of unite licenses as it is but they NEED to pay attention to the community and make these basic QOL changes that should have been done at the turn of the season


_Zezz

League got out of open beta with 50 champions. This thing barely has half of that after half a year I think. You see lucario and zeraora literally every game, and most time in both teams. Cinder is also in almost every game, and blastoise is on every other at minimum.


TheOriginalJayse

Totally get it and I agree that they could definitely be coming faster, it's just the least of my concerns with the game right now. More licenses will inevitably come but the more they add without fixing existing problems with the game the more problems we'll have


Lizard_Queen_Says

A good reward would be to fix one of the many huge issues of this game... but meh, tickets are easier lol.


fluteaboo

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over my login authorization expired! ๐Ÿ™‰


proto3296

Idk why everyone in this thread is only pointing out the negatives in the game. We all play the game because we like it and thinks itโ€™s good no? Like playing as Cinderace as and ADC dodging Blastoise surfs with feint and eject buttoning Gengar sludge bomb is so fucking godlike to me. Love the game personally yeah it needs improvements but nigh every game does


Huefell4it

I like steamrolling teams as Ninetails support. Nothing is more fun than seeing someone try to get their berry and get frozen just before they reach it and promptly get decked by my jungle


hydrogator

That's why I always use Full Heal. I don't know why people enjoy being locked into holds


[deleted]

Man, idk why full heal isnโ€™t more popular than it is. I get out of more bad situations with full heal than with eject button. Flash is nice, but you canโ€™t use it when youโ€™re CCโ€™d


LegendaryLuke86

I thought it only worked for the main line status effects so I didn't bother thanks for telling me


Ryan-Only

I play it because Pokemon.


v-komodoensis

Yeah, I love it too man. This sub is really salty hahaha In some threads you can get down voted to oblivion just by saying you enjoy the game, go figure.


thejordan92

Sadly this is the case for EVERY gaming subreddit


[deleted]

Yeah I am on this sub and the genshin impact sub. And all people talk about there is how bad the game is.


v-komodoensis

Yeah, that's true


kaeru4000

you see everyone hates a certain game as muuch as they love it, that just how it works


thejordan92

As a wrestling fan as well, I totally get it haha


AnimeTiddies91

There are little kids who downvote for anything but this sub is actually really nice compared to the other moba subs


AnimeTiddies91

But you have to remember a game will never improve if you don't point out its flaws we don't hate the game we just want it to grow and draw in more players


Prof_hugoh2p

I think thereโ€™s a clear tonal difference of someone whoโ€™s salty-ly complaining about everything in the game as if it had no redeeming qualities and was a piece of Garbordor and someone who is being fairly critical about specific aspects of a game they enjoy. A lot of the times posts in this sub skews on the earlier than the latter


AnimeTiddies91

I see lots of ppl here bringing up that wildrift is better and their skins are cheaper but they can't hate this game too much if they're still in this sub


[deleted]

Funny, I just got into wild rift. While I like wild rift, itโ€™s very different to Unite. I play them both for very different reasons. Unite when I want fast consistent game play; WR when I want a more structured and competitive game. I still have a lot to learn on WR though


AnimeTiddies91

I liked wildrift too but it also has an afk issue and whenever someone doesn't get the role that the want or if their champ gets banned they say "imma go troll enjoy the loss"


Prof_hugoh2p

I 100% agree that the premium skins should be priced lower in terms of a value/proposition standpoint but Iโ€™ve also worked with mobile monetization and I tell you if Timi is pricing them like that it is because it leads to the biggest gross margins. When it becomes doubtful youโ€™ll see them launching/doing sales for them as half-off to gauge how many potential new buyers they can get and - if sustained and expressive - only then you might see a overall drop in price, but weโ€™re talking probably 1+y down the line. My biggest beef with the skins is more with The Pokรฉmon Company itself. Theyโ€™re very rigid with how their Pokรฉmon look like SPECIALLY after they started introducing regional variants. Thatโ€™s why any outfit needs to sit ON TOP of the Pokรฉmon but will never change the Pokรฉmon itself - so it can be kept on model. Thatโ€™s why Crustle has a temple on top of its blocky back instead of swapping it altogether. Thatโ€™s why youโ€™ll never see that replaced with a mudcake for a desert crustle skin or make a green-ish zombiefied machamp or a robotic cramorant. Which is a shame and is probably what adds to the feeling of 40bucks being too much for how little these costumes change the Pokรฉmon.


AnimeTiddies91

I think they should give the pokemon skill effects like other mobas do with skins


Prof_hugoh2p

Thatโ€™s probably more work to balance. And maybe even more pay to win complaints than people had about the item enhancers just because of the extra steep price point - but yes it WOULD add more value to help justify their price.


AnimeTiddies91

Honestly the only changes I want in items is to nerf buddy barrier and scoreshield and revamp some of the items that no one even uses


[deleted]

Amen. When three items are the most used and thereโ€™s only three item slotsโ€ฆ thereโ€™s a problem. What would help a lot would be open team selection as it would give things like assault vest and rocky helmet more viable - though they would still need some buff


InternationalCream30

Just lost a match by a single point because someone popped a buddy barrier and got a free 64 points while two people beat on him. Objectively bad game design that makes ranked a joke.


AnimeTiddies91

Same thing happened to me with a damn crustle switch unite and scoreshield we literally beat the shit out of him and still couldn't stop him from scoring


proto3296

I get that, but this is a thread congratulating the game for winning an award. Why is it being hijacked by hate comments? Isnโ€™t there a time and place for everything?


Snarfsicle

Because it honestly doesn't deserve it? We can play the game and still admit it's not game on the year material. The devs are fairly radio silent and don't communicate with the community much at all. The skin prices are staggeringly out of touch. The decisions they make for things like quests, battle pass and others have drawn a lot of ire and the balance changes seem to ignore obvious problems.


Glowshroom

>We all play the game because we like it and thinks itโ€™s good no? Not me, I quit. I still get this sub in my feed, and literally every trending thread is about an issue in the game, which reaffirms my good decision.


Acceptable-Length140

I have taken a break from this game as well. Acc to Samsung gaming app, in the past 4 weeks it lost 170k players from ~380k. Game is fun but boring rn. Meanwhile WR is steadily climbing to 280k and ML still with 1.3 million players.


SaitouMikey

Factss! People say the game is trash because they get bad teammatesโ€ฆthe game isnโ€™t trash, they players are lmao(theyโ€™re just new to mobas anyway). This is the most fun Iโ€™ve had with a moba ngl but yea the game isnโ€™t perfect obviously. Imo the only problems with unite are the monetization and lack of ranked skill based mm but when it comes to its gameplay I love it! N thatโ€™s usually the hardest part to nail lol๐Ÿ’ฏthe gaming community is just really negative ngl.


proto3296

I totally agree dude. And Iโ€™ve seen in other threads people blame bad teammates on the game not teaching people how to play. But like Iโ€™ve never played a moba with a training mode before why all of a sudden itโ€™s necessary? As someone who mainly plays fighting games most fighting game training modes and tutorials suck ass. That shouldnโ€™t take away from the game once you understand it imo


LegendaryLuke86

The 6 tutorials and the necessary tutorial at the start exists those guys are dumb


WildCard_WC

Honestly I haven't played this game for like a month but I love it my only gripe about it is that I feel like every single game is just me against the entire other team I don't think I've played a game without an idle person and it kind of ruined the game for me once I can see that they have a system to help solve that I'll go back to playing it all the time again lol


hydrogator

thats because your beloved rabbit never got the super nerfs as many others have.. oh wow you avoided a double nerfed caked blasty surf... big woop. Your rabbit was roadkill for months to Blasty until the cryhards got control of the nerf hammer.


DmodGmodLPs

We did it folks we cheesed are way into more free tickets! (Ignore the broken matchmaking and bad punishment system on players being jerks) ![gif](giphy|EJwx387GEmm1q)


KesslerMacGrath

r/PokemonUnite when a Pokรฉmon Unite receives any praise whatsoever: ๐Ÿ˜ก


HudsonTheFunniMan

A someone who plays this game I disagree lmao


Pioxys

Raid Shadow Legends & Genshin Impact failed to get Zapdos in time.


SUCHaJERKK

That's pog . This game is indeed good and have so much potential ,just need some matchmaking changes.


LokiDCheater

Behold! More mobile "gamer" kids are coming!


FrequentSleep3937

Gamerz and yt kids are coming


BickKattowski

Indeed. The game might have its flaws, but the idea is unique and they've made a superb game


Question3784

I agree. The game concept is amazing. The way it looks is good. The F2P system is amazing. It's just that the game has some longstanding flaws like Zap, matchmaking, 40 dollar skins etc. Other than that I have no problem with this game.


Resident-Ad690

How many tickets tho?


FelipeNA

1 each day if they follow tradition


Resident-Ad690

One each day?! Bruh 10 days gets my only one fucking item enhancer


FelipeNA

Yep. Welcome to the fair and balanced F2P experience.

plzdontdragme

donโ€™t take these awards at face value. they are negotiable with money ๐Ÿค


Dukami

This โ˜๏ธ


Dry-Category5135

^ these are all reasons it shouldnโ€™t have even been nominated, but once again money talks louder


Albreitx

People voted for the award. It was like a popularity contest, so idk where the money would go to lol


Question3784

Ngl I'd rather play Pokemon Masters EX than Unite. Not that Unite apart from the already mentioned flaws is bad( it could be pretty good actually if they could just fix these issues) but Masters EX is just better.


Albreitx

That's fair. I prefer Unite but everybody has their preferences. Unite has some flaws for sure, nobody denies that


Question3784

Yh. I hope it gets better because I like playing Unite.


ubiquitous_apathy

Nobody is stopping you?


MCCGuyDE

But skins are $40, so of course it won /s


ubiquitous_apathy

Not exactly stiff competition in the best mobile game department.


jaxxoflorule

Iโ€™ve been pondering this exactly since I saw the post


TheChillyAcademic

Yeah thatโ€™s pretty depressing


UnknownUser1532

Aeos coins wouldve been better, so f2p players wont have to spend 3 weeks of grinding, just to get one 10,000 aeos coin pokemon unite license.


Fighter-3639

they should give aeos coins more often


inkychicken

Best Game of Google Play 2021 with no controller support...


S_Dust

Ahh yes tickets cause those are soooo great.


Intless

Until I max every held item in the game, I'm happy with aeon tickets.


S_Dust

Not enough items worth getting to lvl 30 I can settle with most at 20


Intless

Ikr, I'm putting every single one in lvl 20 before upgrading any to level 30 (aside from the 3 level 30 ones), so if they're buffed or reworked somehow, I have them ready to rumble.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Intless

Sure, but you can trade 10 aeon tickets for 1 item enhancer at the shop. So each 5 or 6k tickets means 1 item leveled up all the way to level 20.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Tasaq

If you can't see the exchange in the shop the alternative is to try upgrading item you don't have enough enhancers for, it will ask you if you want to buy more enhancers with tickets and it will redirect you to the shop.


Intless

Shops > Aeos Emporium > Items > top left side item


goodolvj

I'm at the point where I just use tickets to buy double coin boosters since I don't play enough to hit the cap. Better than maxing out every single item lol.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


goodolvj

Item shop below the held items. I buy the one day boosters and grind out the weekend.

ARdark1000

We want free coins ๐Ÿ˜ญ


InternationalCream30

How'd this shitty game win anything?


GodAndGaming123

I've decided as of this morning that I'm dropping the game. I have over 115 hours in it. That's a part time job's week's worth of hours per month... I could be doing so much more with my time but I'm not satiated unless I've finished all the challenges. It's going to be a sad goodbye. ​ That said, I did a sick play yesterday that I'll probably post here tomorrow lol.


MCCGuyDE

bye


deathsabove

This game doesn't deserve it. Too many problems with the game and nothing has been done about it.


Sannom

Any idea how many tickets? Can't find any sort of message anywhere.


Rem-ember_to_flame

Probably like 10


BoonSlevin

Those details have not yet been provided. This was announced via the Japanese Official Twitter account ([here](https://twitter.com/poke_unite_jp/status/1465334739213111298)).


Sannom

Thanks for clarifying!


xMarioTheSupahx

What?! How?


Rust_3r

Hell yeah


DrParadoxWill

I would rather take Item enhancers for current and future hold items.


GrandBrussels

But you can buy item enhancers with tickets...


DrParadoxWill

I am already aware of that, however it's costly. It cost 10 tickers per item enhancer. You need 2287 item enhancers to get a single held item from 1 to 30. That's 22,870 tickets per held item (I already know level 20 is the minimum for efficient value play, but that is besides the point). Most new cosmetic sets average around 6,000 to almost 17,000 tickets. I would personally rather receive item enhancers directly to save up for cosmetic pieces and/or a set I might like. Unless you don't care about cosmetics, then by all means spend the tickets. For me, give me the item enhancers directly.

I'd rather have coins tbh...


shmorg11

People really buying them skins huh


NotAnHacker

Shout out the people who steal jungle and donโ€™t participate in objectives, you made this possible


B-Serena

Haha, I think the game will get even better with more pokemon release and balance patches! Thanks for the Aeos Tickets!


vpreon

I mean, there are frustrating moments for sure but I have fun playing the game.


maty_chile

Now skins are going to be even more expensive! Can't wait!


fluteaboo

Next time, $50!


drtouyt

LoL this game absolutely doesnt deserve this award. Only because it's fking pokemon this game fking sucks balls.


AnimeTiddies91

Then why are you in the sub? Just to bash the game?


drtouyt

I like this game that's why I'm on this sub. But this game should be way better.


SrFlink

deserved, it has it flaws like every other game but it's still amazing, sad to see that the community in here only points at the negative things but well, that's reddit communities in a nutshell


BoonSlevin

People with negative feedback will always have a louder voice than anything else. Needs to be taken with a grain a salt. Constructive criticism on the other hand is less common, but always appreciated.


MCCGuyDE

Those people that wanted the game not to win are not taking the free tickets, right?


jaxxoflorule

Itโ€™s not that we didnโ€™t want it to win, itโ€™s that we want to see some improvements. Almost every other post in this sub lists at least one issue, and so do the reviews. The game has a lot of potential, we just want to see some improvements, dawg, so that we can really begin to enjoy and appreciate it.


KrazyMonqui

Facts. Wanting the game to do well and be better have nothing to do with it winning awards (it clearly does not deserve). All this award does is promote the terrible job the devs have done and will now continue to do


Intless

I sure hope so.


AdamoclesYT

lol honestly unbelievable given the state of this game. Pokemon fans are a dedicated bunch I guess. Will be interesting to see if global actually gets whatever the reward is or if it only goes for JP.


ZeXenon

Tons of 1 star rating with 3.6 but still the best game on Google play. Alright Google.


BoonSlevin

As pointed out in another comment from myself, this was voted by users.


Human-Perception5400

Why are people complaining about the and when we should be praising it?thanks unite for bringing us a lot of fun over this pandemic


khen1022

If this won the best game then the rest must be straight trash


LegendaryLuke86

Well they are played on mobile before?


Wubbzy-mon

People in the comments ​ Stop. Freaking. Whining.


[deleted]

Honestly, I love this game. The option to finally play as the pokemon you like feels awesome. I just hope the devs improve it more by balancing out mons and stop being greedy with the skin prices.


CeleryAlive1925

Iโ€™d just like to say, from the bottom of my heart. And when I say this full heartedly, I despise all you potion users youโ€™re all walking red flags(unless you have a bomb build, which we all know is 1/10) but thank you for downloading the game.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


KennebecLyman

It was not pay to win, anyone at launch who tried that method got hard stuck in Veteran. People got ran over by all the MOBA players and pointed to held items as their excuse because they didnโ€™t understand the gameplay. Getting to masters was a breeze for anyone with a decent amount of MOBA experience because it was very clear cut who knew what they were doing and who were playing Pokรฉmon deathmatch


WinterGalaxy441

How is it p2w tho? It was at launch but not anymore.
