every day is paradise

@dreamswgh overall, it’s a decent game with flaws. VP grind and box restrictions are lame (home included). ranch recruitment system kinda lame. battles and ease of customization are good. lack of items kinda lame. i’m sure with patches a few of those will be fixed but i don’t love freemium

@MagicManChance i know you were indifferent on Champions. How you feeling about it now gangy?

STALL OUT THESE 4 EXTRA TURNS BITCH 🗣️🗣️

@VelocityVGC hey

Have to relearn how to play Pokemon without a nuke button that nobody in the format prepares for (regidrago)

@l0s3rg1rlie WAIT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A COUNTING DISCORD??? we have a bot to stop that problem from happening do you want in?? yes we’ve manually made it to 42k

tragedy has struck the counting channel

can we bring back real items so i stop getting quick clawed

@GetMadAdam @VelocityVGC

@MagicManChance @VelocityVGC Floette is not the best pokemon in the game… literally just beat a prima and Floette 2v1 with a venusaur… Paywalls really? To get Calyrex and Zamazenta (which just won a regional) you need to buy SwSh and the DLC for it. Then beat the game and DLC to obtain it. Worse than this

Nuanced thoughts after a few days playing champions

@GetMadAdam @VelocityVGC

@VelocityVGC @MagicManChance Such a disingenuous argument. Champions will be the face of twitch and will be advertised at every event… 🤦🏻‍♂️ just trying to fear monger and generate hate with no evidence to back your claims

@GetMadAdam @VelocityVGC you don’t realize you’re talking to someone who’s been around longer than you lol we definitely had a player fall off after x/y

@VelocityVGC Player count has risen with each new gen. This gen of VGC will stay fresh and new Pokemon games mean new metas in Champions. I’ve been around since 2016 and it’s much larger now. Plus most people didn’t know about VGC, casual players, and have gotten into it now cause of this

@wellspringmask gib team

@MagicManChance Let’s get on it twin….

Going to be honest and say I haven’t attempted champions yet. The doom posting day 1 and the cases of HOME pokemon being stuck in limbo at launch really turned me off. If I was a newer player, I wonder if the negative traction would have turned me off from VGC

holy fuck the weeknd went from nier automata to nier replicant to persona 5 this guy is just having the best year in gaming right now

so you’re telling me i have to pay for more than 30 slots in pokemon home and then pay more for additional boxes in champions yeah bffr im outta here lol

anyone got a pokemon champs legal team i can start building so i don’t waste my precious vp

@Frodan @SilentKnightTCG goated take

@SilentKnightTCG Length of turns feel muuuch better now. Riftbound feels best when its snappy with all its divergent lines you can take. Draven is prob still BDIF but he feels like regular BS as opposed to alrightnothx BS.

In your opinion, how is the #riftboundmeta feeling post ban?

@ImpetuousPanda something i’d like to see here is if BIS varies based on mech selector (thinking asol). also riven can be either AP or AD right? so what would AP BIS be?

🟪Day 3 PBE Itemization Cheatsheet 🟨 Quick cheatsheet for ALL 4 & 5 Costs 📚 🧂Take with grain of salt, just meant to help quickly identify unit archtypes and learn unit itemization 💡 Biggest Takeaways 💡 -Consider the impact of Akali granting precision or Aatrox granting sunder to better understand some of the itemization conclusions(Kindred, Fiora, Yi, etc) -Xayah gets AS steroid with ability, Red Buff seems to be considerably better than Rageblade(but 4 bows is unrealistic outside of Replication, same for Kindred) -Riven's dual type kit and her mana cost has some interesting synergies with Lich Bane as well as Bastion Emblem -Corki's Meep Bonus part of his kit will have him deal a considerable amount of DMG irrespective of cast timing so forgoeing a casting item might seem unintuitive but I think it's correct -Asol recommendations are for MECHA MODE -Blitz/Shen have some interesting itemization considerations, but it seems a mix of tankiness/casting/utility is ideal for both outside of full DMG/bruiser build/tank build -Graves will be hard to recommend specific builds for as it will change depending on how you build him -Zed has some interesting itemization considerations as well with the possibility for a tank item like Vow to be very effective for cloning purposes Will update final cheatsheet with more reliable data at end of PBE cycle!🐼

@robinsongz no way bro left the gemini watermark in the pic

A New Beginning

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to retire from competitive TFT. The tournament grind and the 2 AM start times have just become too much to balance. I’m not going anywhere, though—I’m shifting all my focus to full-time content creation and growing the stream. Excited to finally play for fun again. ❤️

@KinkyBedBugs @RedVGC banned for genning didn’t happen until the new hack check system in SV (unless the stats were illegal to your point). here’s an example from worlds 2023. and here’s proof of me playing and earning my worlds invite in 2015. pokemon.com/us/play-pokemo… lmk if you have more questions.

@MagicManChance @RedVGC Also Mr 2015 is cap you’ve seen 3-5 people in that slammed with obviously genned mobs get to world and win it or get to the last stages

there still dweebs crying about genned mons nigga you suck regardless genned mons do not help anyone battle at all nobody wants to waste time riding around in circles feeding sandwiches or whatever the fuck you gotta do for shinies and iv spreads

@KinkyBedBugs @RedVGC i’ve been playing since 2015 and have seen the entire life cycle. you probably didn’t do well enough to get hack checked. everyone going into day 2 gets it so you outed yourself 😂📷🫵🏻

@MagicManChance @RedVGC I went to one when the game first came out in like 23 up in Seattle and played with genned mons bro lol it’s not that deep people been complaining about this for years and yet there’s guys winning the events with them 😂 get good man

@KinkyBedBugs @RedVGC not to be that guy but this screams you haven’t been to a regional in years. event coordinators force you to make your team a rental and now run their own hack checks and can pick up “trash bytes” and other metadata to identify legality. tons of DQ’s over the SV era.

"Legal" checks is just making sure the caught location and levels /ivs are all correct the app does that for you lmaooooo there is no such thing as an illegal mon i cannot bring a hydro pump using inceneroar online this is all cope from people who cant battle or think them wasting time on shinies is worth anything

@Mortdog how many hours?? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

PBE should be up in the next 6 or 7 hours, which means it's time for my list of things you should know if you plan on participating in PBE. Here we go! 1) Don't fall for Robinsongz or anyone else retweeting an old tweet saying PBE is up. Wait for an official "Space Gods PBE is up" post. Don't let them get away with it! 2) There will be bugs! Please report them on the various social media platforms and the team will be getting them fixed quickly. PBE helps us get that last bit of polish and edge cases solved, so thank you for reporting them. 3) The balance won't be perfect. Please feel free to pass on feedback around units that are too strong or too weak, but also be aware that it can take a while for people to truly understand the power of things. Figure out BIS and what not. Don't overreact! 4) If you take the Booster Pack augment and low roll, blame Kent. Be sure to tweet at him. He wants to know every time this augment is taken :P 5) Each morning I'll be doing posts around the changes you can expect each day. Those changes happen around noon PST each day when the PBE goes down. This happens M-F, not on weekends. 6) Have fun! It's another new set of TFT, and it's a great time to join. Be welcoming to anyone who is diving in and let's explore the Space Gods together. TFT is a great community and game, so let's keep that. Ok that's it for now. On behalf of the entire TFT team, thanks for participating in PBE, and we can't wait for you to enjoy the set. Have fun, and take it easy :)
