Losers of the latest Pokemon Unite patch update
Pokemon Unite Licences with major debuffs
1) Mewtwo (Y)
One of the most significant changes in this patch is the substantial nerf to Mewtwo Y. Mewtwo Y, often considered a dominant force in the game, has received significant reductions in its power. Here are the key changes:
- No Critical Hit Rate anymore: Mewtwo's critical hit rate has been reduced from 10% to 0%, meaning it no longer scores critical hits.
- Future Sight: Opponents take lesser damage from Mewtwo Y when this skill is active
- Recover: The Mega gauge has been decreased by 50%. Additionally, both shield damage absorption and movement speed are reduced
- Special Attack: Mewtwo's base stat Special Attack has been lowered.
This extensive list of nerfs indicates a considerable shift in the balance of power. Mewtwo, once a dominant choice, is now less imposing, particularly with its critical hit rate completely removed.
2) Blissey
Blissey was considered one of the best supports in the game completely ruining the balance of the game. But the community has now shown support for the significant nerfs it got.
- Helping Hand: The boosted attack speed and movement speed buff has been reduced
- Safeguard: The shield's damage absorption has reduced
- Bliss Assistance: The shield provided by the Unite Move's damage absorption has been reduced by 20%
Pokemon Unite Licences with minor debuffs
1) Urshifu: Lapras's surging strikes have seen a damage reduction, and its HP recovery from basic attacks has been reduced to 2%. Additionally, its Defense is lowered.
2) Lapras: Lapras' Shell Armor gained a damage reduction decrease. It also recovers less HP from boosted attacks now. Additionally, Perish Song damage is also reduced.
3) Leafeon: Leafeon's Unite Move has seen a damage reduction and more energy is needed to charge it.
It's clear from the patch notes that the development team is actively working to balance the game and create a more enjoyable experience for all players. Some of the nerfs and buffs are surprising, while others are long-awaited changes that will likely shake up the metagame, especially with the nerfs involving Mewtwo Y.
As the update rolls out, the Pokemon Unite community will undoubtedly be experimenting with new Pokemon choices and strategies. Keep an eye on how these changes affect the game and adapt your gameplay accordingly.
