Pls change a rank system in next patch i have 2200 pkt and play with 1300 pkt :( In my opinion master rank should be more difficult

4 Anonymousover 1 year

Zacian is still OP as hell, in conjunction with duoing up with Comfey (while nerfed, is still a the top of the Support tier. Glaceon gets buffs just because it gets a new skin is, quite frankly dumb. A 25% to now 50% speed increase to base Ice Shard is absurd, it's basically Ice Shard + in base trim. I'm going to sit on the fence and shelve Unite until some real changes are made. Because as it stands, Tencent/TiMi aren't doing enough.
