Unfortunately, your submission has been **removed** for the following reason(s):
---
Rule 2: Excessive flaming, toxicity, harassment, insults, derogatory/disallowed verbiage, posts/comments intended to incite drama and cause conflict, or rants and complaints that aren't constructive in nature will be removed. Suggestive posts and excessively adult themes are not allowed. Posts calling out other players or the usage of slurs will result in an automatic ban.
Rule 4: Please use the applicable Megathreads. We currently have Megathreads for Basic game questions and [looking for players](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonUnite/comments/1b03ljh/looking_for_group_friend_code_unite_squad/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). Both Megathreads are typically pinned at the top of the subreddit. We also occasionally create new megathreads for events such as Pokémon releases, balance patches, or friend campaigns. A recently available rage thread will be linked in the pinned general megathread, where you can let out your frustrations.
Rule 5: No low-quality or repetitive content. In order to ensure content diversity and allow new topics visibility, we do not allow duplicate or repetitive submissions. This does not necessarily mean you have submitted a post multiple times, but the same content you are attempting to post has already been made before.
**We do not allow rants on topics if nothing has changed in the game since the last time someone posted a rant on this topic.** The game isn't perfect and it never will be able to make everyone happy, and we understand that. Negative posts about certain aspects of the game are fine, as long as they are constructive and not overly repetitive. As such, rants are only allowed as their own post if they have not been discussed recently or they are otherwise contributing something new. If they don't fit that description, please use the rage thread.
If you want your feedback to be seen by the right people, you'll have **far** more luck using the [Official Feedback Forums](https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/categories/unite-bugs-feedback) and the in-game surveys while they're available than hoping they happen to come across your Reddit post.

I usually take a break for a day or a few hours if I keep getting paired with bad teams.
The key is to remind yourself that it’s just a game and it’s not that serious. Matchmaking is a joke, so it’s often you’ll get paired with noobs and low skill players. That being said, I’m very sure you’re not a 100% perfect player and make occasional mistakes. And that’s ok! It’s all part of the game
When I play, I feel really anxious, especially when Pokémon selection screen before the match. My heart beats faster, and I can really feel it. To calm down, I remind myself to relax when the game gets intense. Sometimes, I even notice I've moved to the edge of my seat, so I'll scoot back and try to sit more comfortably. It might seem silly, but it helps me stay focused and calm during the game! It does wonders for me as a Support main lol
That's a good strategy indeed; the mind always reflect what the body enacts, Smart folk you are.
I'm a Support player too and I've been trying Comfey lately. They fk with me so bad sometimes I wonder if I'm in the enemy team, lol
I usually play 1-2 games every now and then. Im not that good, so I dont mind if others are bad as well :)
Thus I never get angry when I play the game.
I consider a test of my emotional control. Working under unfavorable conditions
But yeah the game isn't balanced and moderation is to rare so it becomes a toxic cesspool. Dota and league are better
There's other pokemon mobile games if you are stuck
First off, gotta remember it's just a game. It's meant to be fun and getting stressed over it won't do you any favours.
Second, the moment you feel you are not having fun, you need to step back and take a break. Maybe watch a match in Spectator or go take a bathroom break or grab a snack. Just go and do something else for 5-10 mins and give yourself a cooldown.
Third, don't take it so seriously. As is, this game is a joke. So sit back and have fun with it. Roll with the punches, clip funny things for your own enjoyment or to post to share. Take some time to learn mon you have but don't use much that you think would be cool to learn like a Zoroark, Goodra, Falinks, Gyarados, Mr.Mime, or Sableye. Maybe run something cooky like Submission Machamp with an X Speed or something with the goal to chase down and suplex people.
Finally, you gotta find fun where you can. You won't win every match, you will get a lot of people who aren't good at the game on your team, and you will get trolls who intentionally throw. You just gotta roll with it, find your own fun, and have fun doing it.
>Every effing thing players do incorrectly make feel like getting them all killed in real life.
I sure hope you play absolutely 1000% perfect with comments like that....
News flash! You don't, everyone makes mistakes..get over yourself

Sure thing, I do make several mistakes but the ones I see are maddening. Ultra-Masters players that still don't know how to use the fkn map, man 🥲
You don’t…you just…suffer
I usually only play while I’m doing a run on my treadmill. So even if I have a string of horrible games, I’ve at least got in some exercise anyways. 😂
If the misplays of your teammates inspire murderous desires, you’re probably not well-suited for competitive multiplayer games in general.
You couldn't be more correct, yet I love competitive play 🤣
throwing my phone across the room helps a little
Thanks

Will my teammates pick 4 attackers Will my teammates fight together Will my teammates wear strange items
I just stop taking it serious when I lose
Take a break, maybe play a less stressful video game.
Main Slowbro. Turn brain off. Enjoy the vibes 😎
Seek professional help
Stop playing for 3 days or abuse the 2 week off for the 2-week Returning Player. Though the 2-Week Returning Player does have a month long cooldown.

My therapist tells me I shouldn't play this...but what does she know
Were you really told that? My wife says that every day.

Good luck, hope things are better
Thats what the voice chat is for! /s
Thank god there's no mic on Switch... I don't like to offend people, though, I'd likely suffer in silence 🥲

i play other stuff that’s not unite , game’s fun sometimes but i still need a break every now and then
I don't
I’m still on my break because of this! It’s been a month and a half so far…
By setting the game down for two seconds and breathing before I snap my phone in half.

I curse myself too so it’s all good 🤣
