Why would any cash transactions for performance bonuses EVER be put in a MOBA? Let alone one specifically targeting little kids? This is disgusting. If this existed in League of Legends that franchise would die overnight, but the little kiddies won't have the knowledge or context/background to understand how incredibly corrupt this is.
League had runes/rune pages that were p2w in essence because it took a long ass time to grind them, and the flat bonuses especially in jungle were massive early game. The item effect are the main part of the item and u can level 10 everything really easy, and level 20 is comparable to the rune grind
i grind this game frequently, due to a recent update anyone playing before mobile release (and i think some mobile players idk) got 3 special tokens that upgrade any item to grade 30 instantly. there is also a quest/task/event that gives 150-160 grade tokens for playing different roles (Support, attacker, speedster- so and so) the pay to win aspect is still apparent but thanks to this update a lot more players can catch up. that or Nintendo saw this video and got spooked

The sad thing is Nintendo is merely licensing its brand Tencent is running the operations and destroying Pokémon’s/Nintendo’s image. (Although it already going downhill due to recent games)
Nah. We will be okay. Truly competitive games will not ever do this because it ruins competitive integrity. Who wants to grind a ranked mode when you can literally spend money to be better? Stuff like League lets you unlock more characters with real money as well as in game currency but most people only play a handful of champions anyway. Even when Paladins tried to do this they made ranked mode not use the system, and players got so mad they removed the p2w system all together. There is hope.
no no no.. 7.5% attack speed AND +15 AD. like wtf thats fucking ridiculous. from the start of the fucking game too. you literally come out of the gates 1 shotting lanes.
Yet league (their biggest money making game) doesn’t have pay to with stuff. Best fucking player in the world didn’t even use skins. Sadly this gives advantages to the player in pokemon, when i saw the items i instantly knew people would do this. But over time people will have items maxed.
@@xxargonautxx9790 that's because tencent bought league after it was already established, they actually made this one and they have NO concept of restraint when it comes to pay to win.

Even if you couldn't spend real money on it, having items upgraded outside of gameplay is just a terrible system. Will only create a wall for new players to overcome that gets worse as the games life goes on, worse than unlocking different characters in other MOBAs.
like I rememebr back with League of Legend's old rune system there was SOME pay to win with ya know...having run pages and innate power just by spawning in over new palyers but like. it was mostly just a few early game stats to make surviving the laning phase easier. this is literally just...pay or dont be new (but still if you pay you're better) to ACTUALLY play the cahracter

Paying to upgrade items a massive mark on an otherwise really fun game, i'd say I hope they walk it back but there's no way they will now after people are already spending money on it. Microtransactions should be cosmetic only, it'd still make bank
Ratio, Pat mate
The sad thing is Nintendo is merely licensing its brand Tencent is running the operations and destroying Pokémon’s/Nintendo’s image. (Although it already going downhill due to recent games)
IMO, this kills any potential this game had of being a competitive e-sport, not that the potential was high to begin with.

Nah. We will be okay. Truly competitive games will not ever do this because it ruins competitive integrity. Who wants to grind a ranked mode when you can literally spend money to be better? Stuff like League lets you unlock more characters with real money as well as in game currency but most people only play a handful of champions anyway. Even when Paladins tried to do this they made ranked mode not use the system, and players got so mad they removed the p2w system all together. There is hope.

Even if you couldn't spend real money on it, having items upgraded outside of gameplay is just a terrible system. Will only create a wall for new players to overcome that gets worse as the games life goes on, worse than unlocking different characters in other MOBAs.
THIS is the bulls-eye. Nice shot.
like I rememebr back with League of Legend's old rune system there was SOME pay to win with ya know...having run pages and innate power just by spawning in over new palyers but like.
