Pokemon Unite Tournament Mode Looks Great, But Where's The Matchmaking Fix?
Trevenant may have missed the mark, but there are some exciting things in the latest Pokemon Unite patch. Charizard and Garchomp got major reworks, communication tools have been improved significantly, and some of the lesser-used Battle Items got much needed buffs. Perhaps the most exciting update in Patch 1.4.1.2 is the introduction of Tournament Mode, a new custom game feature that will be used in the upcoming Pokemon Unite Championship Series at Worlds. Tournament Mode shows a commitment to both esports and the future of Unite, so it’s great to see this kind of official integration. At the same time, I can’t help but wonder why a competitive mode almost no one will use is more important than fixing ranked, which is currently ruining the game for everyone.
