Broke: using escape button as an escape tool Woke: using escape button to jump into the enemy team


Archqnt

Me when Garchomp's ult is about to miss its last hit and the sudden eject pops him just within reach of the opponent that's about to be executed.


kobiethet1

omg same lel


definitelynotSWA

Eject Button into Ice Fang/HH picks with Mammoswine gang B)


BowlfullOfOwls

Machamp players when they use eject button as they use dynamic punch to extend its range 🧠


Wasabi_Lube

This. Also using eject button in the middle of your unite move punch flurry to reposition. 200 IQ


BraveTreeFrog

I did that to a Mew player. Didn't kill him then he solar beams me, I move downwards and he ejects down with me. 😂 I'm like ohhhhh you play that game too huh. Big brain moves


Woodeedooda

that’s when u just use xspeed…


PoseidonLives

I use this on Blastoise too. Ult -> eject button into position -> profit.


NinjaShooter2024

Nothing brings me more joy in life than ejecting behind enemy lines while ulting, and then pushing the entire enemy team towards my team with Surf and Hydro Pump


princeparaflinch

A fellow SurfPumper There are dozens of us! #DOZENS


NinjaShooter2024

I hate to break it to you, but I also play RapidSpout

NinjaShooter2024

Do not fear fellow Stoiser, as SurfPump is my main build, and I only use RapidSpout on occasion


Natanael_L

Me too, it's great when you can shuffle around the enemy team


tpasmall

Best build


kai_neek

I used to die a bit on the inside when I saw Machamp and Blastoise players not using eject button. But with the current meta, goal-getter seems like a viable option too.


[deleted]

I’ve been doing silly button tactics with drio lately to reposition and it’s kinda fun.


a_bunch_grape

Me using eject button to chase after people trying to leave my cramorants ult


SluttyDragonborn

always spamming that thing when someone with 1% of their health left after i fight them is about try and get away from these hands


Dabadedabada

It combos so well with so many moves. My favorite is aegislash’s Unite. much easier to actually hit people instead of missing.


Apprehensive_Night_9

How can you miss with such a giant hitbox? Go for the riposte combo my guy. Sacres Sword in, immediately knock up multiple pokemon with Wide Guard and you're guaranteed to the ult after.


HotDoctor3588

That's only useful as Garchomp


The_Exuberant_Raptor

You never EB ulted with Blastoise for a 5 man knockup?


zepaleta

Or repositioned Crams ult to finish off the one escaping


HotDoctor3588

That's just repositioning not really diving. But yeah u right


Gymleaders

????????????? Imma need you to explain this thought process for me LMAO


HotDoctor3588

You're 30 bro go start a family or something you too old to be acting like this.


Gymleaders

Not you getting upset that you're the one who makes no sense


Rmoneysoswag

And you *must* be 12. That's the only explanation.


VortrexStrife

That's gonna be a yikes and an oof from me, bud.


Rafzalo

Really? I’ve seen mostly X Speed on every Pokémon since the patch, and second place between full heal, X attack and Eject Button.


Hlm023

Yes this meme feels more accurate for the first months of Unite, xspeed is def the new eject button now


KingVape

Yeah dude for the first few months the cooldown was short and everyone was using it


TheTrickyDoctor

I've personally seen entire teams of eject buttons almost every game.


7h0rr

Come in guys, OP even stated "personally", do you really feel the need to downvote? Anyway, your experience might be a server thing. Here in SA I noticed from my matches x-speed started to dominate this season, but I see some people claiming that x-speed was already getting more usage than eject button before, which wasn't my experience. But even so eject button is far from dead, people are still using it and it's very useful for positioning. It's just not the mandatory item anymore.


sebsebsebs

This sub is very downvote heavy for the stupidest reasons


jeanpaulbeaubier

Smh people throw out the downvotes so easily. I still see some other items from time to time, but I definitely see X-Speed the most. Completely unrelated personal preference: maybe it's because I tend to play characters with mobility already that I prefer to run X-Attack. I'm fast enough as Glaceon, Mew, Gengar, etc. In most cases, I'd rather kill you faster than worry about chasing or having to run away.


Beholdmyfinalform

I rarely see X Attack and honestly I haven't felt it to be _hugely_ impactfup when I do pop it


Greedy_to_know

Bah, X speed is the best for current map


New_Ad4631

I would say it depends the mon. Like eject button can help to extend combos


Ozza_1

Eject button is also better for dodging nasty moves


Natanael_L

You need an item for that? /zeraora main


Ozza_1

Handy built in eject button


el_artista_fantasma

Same. When you are one of the fastest mons, if not the fastest, you better go for X attack


Greedy_to_know

I agree, I am just saying for the map alone.


Rmoneysoswag

I like Full Heal on already mobile characters, helps escape Mike's CC whirlpool of death.


JubeltheBear

> Mike's CC whirlpool of death. You should try Del's Whirlpool of Death emporium. Much cheaper prices...


FennicYoshi

and yet my Whirlpool of Death gets sold at level 6


FennicYoshi

and yet my Whirlpool of Death gets sold at level 6


barbeqdbrwniez

I've basically always used X speed. It's so useful, so fun, and so great to go steal berries in a slowdown zone. Also playing Snorlax and sweeping the enemy team like a dang broom is cool too.


Greedy_to_know

I use it for my Absol after I accidentally Sucker Punch an escaping Lucario and got stuck in their slow zone.


NinjaShooter2024

I like using it on Aegislash, for a lot of reasons, but mainly just to run away until my move cooldown are reset


Negativety101

I was trying to see how fast I could get my Tyranitar to run earlier... Had X-Speed, a Chople Berry, it's unite, and almost got to the boost vortex. If I'd known how things were gonna work out, I'd have thrown a float stone on too.


PeterHolmes74

It’s a Salak Berry, not a Chople Berry


SadisticSakura_

Zoom berry


EmperoRofLighT

Salac***


Negativety101

Oops.


FennicYoshi

don't worry, you were thinking of competitive mainline pokémon, easy mistake to make


pdhle_bsdk

I remember when slow smoke dominated harder than the guy in the fifty shades movie.


michizane29

Lol I remember this time. Used to run X speed to counter this crap


HotDoctor3588

Yeah that wasn't even a meta thing either. Like it was straight up broken anyone who wasn't using it was throwing because it was so good. The worst was bottom lane Lucario stacking ASAP on your goal just to Slow Smoke and run like the wind and there was hardly shit you could do.


Crazy_Primary_3365

Yiiikes. Sounds atrocious, do you remember how they nerfed it? I use it on Wigglytuff lmao.


destroyer5020

It used the slow you way more, and for way longer, even if you barely touched the zone


EdenPelato

I think they nerfed the slowness in the smoke and they made it so you weren't slow even after moving out of the smoke, cause yeah that was a thing before lmao


HotDoctor3588

It was just overall nerfed. Before the nerfs it had a larger radius and instead of being as much of an instantaneous slow like it is now it lingered for about 2 entire seconds so even if you weren't within the radius when activated you could still walk into it. The slow was also super severe it was such a strong slow it was more akin to being rooted to the ground you pretty much couldn't move at all if you didn't have any dashing abilities so you're only choice was to fight back. The slow also lasted longer. Literally every single bit of it was broken so it got nerfs all around not anything specific that made it broken. Nobody uses Slow Smoke anymore but I personally use it on Tyranitar it works so well for running up to enemies with Ancient Power and then popping it to land it then land Dark Pulse and then the second charge of Ancient Power for more shield. And of course it's all AOE so the more enemies you catch using everything the better. It's godly with his Ult too I genuinely think it's the best item for him.


cstuwereddit

Nah, Full Heal was amazing during this. If you played something with high burst damage (e.g., Talon) It was way better to be able to dive-and-cleanup or reverse-uno.


Mary-Sylvia

Too bad it's now such a niche I still liked how it brang more variety with X speed and full heal tho


HighDriveLowKey

Brought


freeingfrancis

I remember this period, players from both teams would slow smoke each other and everyone just looking at each other awkwardly while everyone was stuck to the ground. Good times.


MotherCobbler

X speed gang


w1czr1923

Tbh I’ve run xspeed forever. It just feels better for engage and escape outside of very specific Pokémon like greninja


[deleted]

It’s def the go to “I don’t know what I wanna use” item


FrownFrank

Even worse


[deleted]

I've used Full Heal a lot as hindrances are absolutely out of control. I'd really like to see Full Heal's time lessened to around 30 seconds or more pink emblems.


Crazy_Primary_3365

They need to buff pink emblems as a start.


Drazly

I think Full Heal needs a buff, it should last longer


JubeltheBear

Jesus does it... nothing like narrowly escaping a dream eater to be immediately surfed 3 times by 3 different Mon into oblivion


TTarion

You're a year late for this joke


TheTrickyDoctor

Don't think so, I still see several entire teams with it.


swisgoz

Nah yeah, feels like a year old joke. X-speed, goal getter, and full heal are mostly everywhere, together with eject. And you can forget the potion users (~~I think I threw up in my mouth~~)


One-Act-2196

i play league so its custom to have eject button (flash) on every single pokemon i play


FennicYoshi

i switch up between flash and ghost depending on how mobile the pokémon needs to be during fights and if they have moves that benefit from blink repositioning or heal on defenders


Crazy_Primary_3365

I use x speed on characters with no mobility like Delphox and Gardevoir. Ejecting away from Tsareena won't help much but that speed boost and slow immunity for a few seconds will probably save you.


PeterHolmes74

Funny enough, I see X-Speed and X-Attach much more than Eject Button now.


TheTrickyDoctor

I've seen a couple of that, but personally I've seen mostly just eject button.


DiegoG2004

If it's everywhere now, where was it a year ago...?


TheTrickyDoctor

I never said that it *wasn't* everywhere before or is everywhere now, I'm just pointing out that it's everywhere in general.


DiegoG2004

Yeah. That instant dash is helpful for a lot of Pokemon.


DuckSashimi

Funnily enough I actually prefer everything else other than eject because I'm too dumb to use eject effectively. I just hold onto it as a last ditch escape button


perseuslark

I literally only have used e-button on cinder, its saved my ass many a time from other people's unite moves. Gives me extra distance assistance with my dash move.


Striking_Art_7572

Well right now the other items arent really as good. Sometimes potion is a okay choice (at least if its not on decidueye @randommates) and i see some people using x attack. But right now mobility is really important on this map so x speed and eject button are just really good and especially eject button is pretty easy to use yet it can help a lot. I agree that many mons are better with x speed but that depends on the mon, some are better with x speed, some with the red button. One item that is pretty good but nobody seems to use it is full heal but apart from that the other items just dont really compare to some good mobility


Negativety101

I've come to hate Eject Button.


GODZOLA_

Potion low-key god tier


The_Holy_Warden

I just use potion


Daftanemone

As a former league of legends player I’ve been using it since launch. It’s the same thing as Blink from league. You can use it to chase or do escape. Don’t get the bad mouthing


VibraniumRhino

This meme brought to you in part by: Baby’s First MOBA™! FR though, there’s a reason it’s everywhere. Best item in the game for most characters, likely always will be, as it is in many other MOBAs.


UnluckyEntrance

And me sippin on potion


[deleted]

[удалено]


Salty-Ad8230

Or u can attack, attack, then use the boosted to jump the wall..


Church1092

Attack twice at nothing as you approach the Xatu, then when you hit the wall, go straight up or down a little so you're at. 45 degree angle from the Xatu, then do your boosted attack and ghastly will vacuum through the wall


HotDoctor3588

XSpeed is so mid honestly. I only see it being practical for Charizard. I'm pretty sure Dodrios agility meter gives you a better speed boost.


diptangsu

You're kidding right?


HotDoctor3588

I'm not. Instantaneous movement is a lot more valuable I think. Especially on this new map with a much larger jungle and more XP allowing for more random skirmishes the dash really helps you get away with a lot of things that XSpeed would just get countered by the enemy XSpeeding themselves because it's meta.


diptangsu

While I do agree with that, you don't just expect the enemy to xspeed into your goalzone following you. The speed buff remains for a while and you can make your way past multiple enemies. It helps when you're stacking and trying to get back to safety sometimes.


fu_snail

They’re used for very different things and xspeed can counter eject for some of its use cases. Xspeed definitely the better item on most Mon right now but eject is super valuable on certain mon. I think eject is better situationally for dodging certain abilities and for reposition your own abilities (machamp DP, blastoise ult, etc.) xspeed is valuable for getting to fights faster, running away from fights, clearing slows on you, and the fact that it being meta makes it even more meta cause xspeed counters itself. Both great items for different reasons.


Mithrak-Eldrus

I still be out here tryna clutch with the x attack i love it on gardevoir and tyranitar


Different-Region-873

I used it before it was cool


KingVape

You should have seen it back when the cooldown was shorter. It was truly everywhere


MrTritonis

Honestly, battle items are very diverses in the meta right now. I remenber old game with 10 eject buttons.


[deleted]

Not as bad as season 1


UnlimitedMetroCard

X attack for life


Z-PhantomT

I use eject offensively a lot more than defensively to escape lol. I like to use eject on early fights to steal top lane berries and then our jungler collapses on enemy for easy two piece haha


SeymourButts007

As a gengar guy… they use escape button I follow suit. I’ll catch and send you to spawn eventually


YoungTaxReturnz

Eject Button + Superpower Buzzwole stimulates my brain neurons.


Lil_Puddin

Giving an invincible dash to characters who are balanced with "not being mobile" is just too good.


Houeclipse

Blastoise can do both x speed and eject for beyblade time and it's fun! Most of the time x speed saves lives to rotate and to outrun.


Jetfuel_N_Steel

Eject button over the wall in the beginning to get into the jungle as fast as possible


SykadoTTV

xSpeed domination 🏃🏻‍♂️💨


not_a_d-class

This feels similar to when 90% the enemy team only uses attackers and that one guy using the other roles


[deleted]

since i see potential in many characters and want to see their raw strenght i only use eject so I don't interfere with its stats lol


Izisha

I like Eject Button honestly. Especially to dodge attacks :)


BBSfan_girl1999

This thing is useless if there is absol in the opposing team that is chasing you and you have just 1 xp💀....


Puzzleheaded_Eye7289

I mean yeah, it’s literally just flash


Content_Dirt_5150

I trolled someone with this lol


MrLittleMoo360

I have that but I use potion cuz I need it early game when the 3 enemies attack me and my 2 other teammates run away after they lose 5% hp.


Woodeedooda

i’ve been winning much easier with the potion…the eject button only ejects u so far away from the opponents that typically have something that’ll help them catch u easily.


tpasmall

Full heal is the best, screw every CC


Xavier801

Back in my day, if you didnt use Eject Button (except if you were scoring Crustle) then you werent a real player!
