notmudkip0 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 So it was (very) recently discovered that USUM changed the base crit rate from 1/16 to 1/24. I'm wondering if this change will be implemented here, since many changes in the new gen were implemented.

Zymogen Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I'd like to see some form of attenuation on all sources of randomness in this game to be honest. I understand crits and misses are fundamental to Pokemon but competitive play would be so much more enjoyable (and competitive) without it.

True, but getting a crit at the right moment does feel Very satisfying. Especially when you battling against a wall team. Idk not that agree they should change or not. But i just felt like mentioning that. Besides crits and hax both suck. (I don't even know what I'm saying don't over think it xD) Now that im thinking a bit more it is true some new gen moves are highly increasing the crit rate Edited January 17, 2018 by jerryzoo Link to comment

fredrichnietze Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 crits do have a valid use. without them you can send out a curse/cm/bulk ect user with healing and spend 20 turns alternating healing and buffs. yes phasing and and such exist, however the risk of doing this is a lot greater when you have to tank 10 hits at 1/16 to curse up and sweep. makes set up more risky and changing the risk levels WILL effect the meta. you got to take time to look at the domios before knocking them over because you feel like it.

suigin Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I support the idea of lowering crit chance since crits suck wee wee. Hopefully Gamefreak also guts flinch next gen so we can cull more wee wee suckage. Link to comment
Perry Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Please keep the discussion in this thread related to the topic of discussion. Take any personal conflict into PMs or just drop it altogether as it isn't worth it. Discrimination based on one's sexual orientation is plain dumb and won't be tolerated. notmudkip0 1 Link to comment
Maelstrom Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) I don't think this is any helpful to the discussion, but I find the critical hit occurrence pretty high when I play, like having 2 or 3 critical hits in a row not being anormal (accounting both sides). Of course, this is relative, since we are just talking about rates. PS: I am not supporting any sides here, whatever you guys do is fine for me. RNG is still RNG after all...

Johnnicles Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Personally, I wish the console games would have made it so that every hit against one enemy Pokemon increases your chance against THAT Pokemon to critical hit. Like, first hit has a 0% chance. Next hit has a 3% chance, next hit has a 6% chance, etc. up to a max of like 24% or something. If the enemy switches out, the crit % would reset. In the scenario against someone spending 30 turns setting up, it would make that be a lot more risky which is like the only place where you NEED a critical hit (unless you have Haze or Clear Smog, which are a lot less common than setting up, and if your shutdown Pokemon dies, then you're screwed lol). It's super hard to balance RNG, though. It'll either be too weak or too good and it's impossible to find an in between imo. Even though what I wish would have been -better- imo, it wouldn't be perfect and it's the best I can think of. I do hate getting crit on my Stored Power Clefable, but in all reality it's the only way to shut it down (besides Haze/Clear Smog [if Clear Smog is working here]).

Ghartark Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 That change only changes the fact that getting crit at the worst time would make you even saltier because the rate has been decreased and yet you are still being "haxed" to death. I don't really see how changing the rate would make any happier the people always complaining about rng in a game designed to operate under high variance. Toupi 1 Link to comment
