Pokemon Unite Has A Weird Way Of Dealing With Ties
Despite the Pokemon Unite fandom being divided on whether the game is pay-to-win or if Zapdos should be nerfed, everyone has agreed that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the way the game handles ties is odd. Instead of actually including any ties, Pokemon Unite is structured so that whoever scores the tied score first wins. In other words, if the other team has 100 points and your team gets to 100 points afterwards, resulting in a tie, your team would lose t🅺he game. To be fair, ties aren’t really a thing in other Nintendo g🧔ames either, including Splatoon and Super Smash Bros.
Apex Legends Will Nerf Seer In The Next Update
Not that we’re terribly surprised to see it, but Seer will be nerfed in the ne﷽xt Apex Legends upda🍬te for being overpowered.

There aren’t specifics yet on which abilities or stats of Seer’s will be getting nerfed, but we expect that the game will become much more balanced after the nextꦜ update.
