    Those teams you describe around the 9 minute mark do make a lot of sense. Hard win the lead and then two opposites to counter alignement. Top players in the world use it a lot that strategy, hence the appearance of Shadow Dragonite and Shadow Dragonair for example. Done by the top players.

    I think since Medi & Licki is such a common core, Pidgeot has quite a bit of play, especially with AA. I've been trying to get AA on it, but I keep on getting other moves

I only see hardcounters or weird teams now. Lets see what tomorrow brings. Next station is Expert rank.:D

    All of the lickitung teams probably ranked up out of my ELO because I had the same idea of hard countering licki with noctowl and i havent seen one since. I did drop from 2600 to 2300 once great league came back

    Every season that passes i feel more and more compelled to believe there is an "algorithm" XD, but i don't think "algorithm" is the right word for it. It's just the word that was given to this phenomenon by the player base because it sounds good. However i do think there is a calculated matchmaking system. Not sure how to explain it, but there is no way in absolute hell that an A-Slash lead should run into 7 counter using leads in a row (im malding, but its true). then when you switch up the team, no counter using leads at all for 2 sets. this is a repeating occurrence btw. its not like this just happened to me once and I'm upset about it. the exact scenario I've explained happens all the time. Countered repeatedly, switch team, stops seeing original opponent lead immediately. and i have to switch to an extremely safe lead pokemon to make it go away. its just a bit fishy and i think all of us agree.

      All big companies use algorithms to manipulate you to keep on being active and playing. They literally give you info or videos, or in this cases battles, that you don't like, then give you some they do like to keep you hooked. It's all push and pull. From Facebook, tik tok, to Instagram yiu name it.
      Saying there is no algo is naive like a child.

  • @lute4729
    @lute4729 Рік тому +2

    The easiest argument against the algorithm is the fact that in order for someone to get “hard countered because algorithm” someone on the other end is getting the good end of the deal😂 so it doesn’t make sense that Niantic hard counters your teams because it’s literally impossible to do for more than half of players lol

    • @jankees4037
      @jankees4037 Рік тому +3

      The back to front matching, is common knowledge even among the worlds best players (although some don't like to talk about it) and you can see it clearly which pokemon they stick in the back and in the middle. Whole ABB line scenario is made based on that already.
      Say if you have Azu in the back with Water/Ice/Fairy moves. You know in the front Fighting, Fire, Grass, Steel, Flying, Poison, Dark. Ground, Electric moves will appear. Can be still a lot of pokemon whose moves match that. So Azu in the back is tough to make up what will appear in the front from the opponent. Sticking Umbreon in the back is easier, then only Fighting, Ghost, Fairy, Psychic will appear in the front. So it is easier for what front pokemon you can put there, what it will encounter. Run a Ground pokemon to be neutral against this all for example. Or say a Carbink does do well against all these types of moves.
      So if with the Umbreon in the back and you see for example a Venusaur in the front from the opponent, you know it didn't match. One sided algorithm because only their third pokemon matched your front pokemon. If that happens a lot, then you know you haven't been lucky with selections.

    • @jankees4037
      @jankees4037 Рік тому

      Added say if you run Galvantula, it can win tons of battles in the two shields, really it can beat 80% of the meta. Except for some mons. Galv beats: Deoxys, Medicham, Lickitung, Mandibuzz, Lanturn, Venusaur, Jellicent, Charizard, Frosslas, Cresselia, Registeel, Azumaril, Poliwraith, Greninja, Scrafty, Obstagoon etc. etc.
      But it has trouble against Carbink, Gligar, Charm Ninetails, Steelix, Bastion and a few others. 20% of the meta.
      It is not funny when you see these 20% way more often than those 80%. Then you know you are hated by the algorithm, because it can't be that you see these few in games more than those other 80%, chansewise it is so wrong already. Especially as those 80% list show also way more lead pokemon.

    I've been a little confused as to why "the algorithm" seems to be such a hot topic lately. Even if it did try to hard counter your team, that would mean that it also is trying to hard counter other people's teams and will have to use you to do that. So statistically it should benefit you as much as it hurts you. It could be the case, but it seems pretty unlikely to me. And I guess that's also where a lot of the discussion comes from - people like to disagree, especially on things that are difficult to prove/disprove in the eyes of the average person.

    • @Torste0908
      @Torste0908 Рік тому +1

      It's the same argument as religion, some people think the universe is watching them and that they are the main character, they can't concieve of a world where other people also have experiences.
      It's simple people who refuse to admit their own limitations for one reason or another.
      Because they don't adress the underlying problem, they don't improve, so they need a perpetual scapegoat in the sky that absorbs their frustrations, the almighty omnipresent algorithm.
      It really reminds me of Andrew Tate talking about "the matrix"

    • @turkey2003
      @turkey2003 Рік тому

      ​@@Torste0908ehh I heard the exact same things your saying when I was playing jurrasic world alive and then it turned out that such a algorithm did exist in the game and the top players had a private discord channel where they discussed how to exploit said algorithm while publicly denying its existence. Not saying pogo is the same but we do know that the exploit that allows you to see someone's team and moves has been active since at least 2020 and is still active and being used now and was hotly denied before being made public (sliphroad reddit banned people for bringing it up before it became public)

      I'm very aware everything in this game, or any game, is built on many algorithms that do different things.
      I just don't think an algorithm that is purposefully matching me up against hardcounters exists.
      The matchmaking algorithm matches me up against players around my Elo. And that's it.
