Admin decisions are final
Ignoring farm for pointless fights:
Avoid ignoring farm for pointless fights. It’s tempting to join every skirmish, but engaging in unnecessary battles wastes valuable time and experience. Prioritize farming to hit your power spikes and charge your Unite Move, this will make you more impactful in the important fights that actually decide the game.
​
Leaving lane EXP for no reason:
Don’t leave lane EXP unclaimed for no reason. Every wild Pokémon you miss means lost experience and a slower level progression. Unless you’re rotating for an objective or contesting high-value farm, make sure to clear your lane efficiently to keep your levels on track.
Taking jungler’s buffs without communication:
Avoid taking the jungler’s buffs without communication. Red and Blue Buffs are vital resources that help junglers maintain map control and impact teamfights. Always coordinate with your jungler before taking these buffs to prevent disrupting their farm path and to keep team synergy strong.
​
Overcommitting and dying before key spawns:
Avoid overcommitting and dying before key spawns. Losing players right before major objectives like Regieleki or Rayquaza can cost your team map control and valuable experience. Play smart, prioritize survival, and only commit when you have a clear advantage or support from your team. Staying alive ensures you’re ready to contest and capitalize on these crucial moments.
​
Wasting your cooldowns:
Don’t waste your cooldowns before contesting farm or key objectives. Save important abilities and crowd control to secure last hits on wild Pokémon or to outplay opponents during smite-style fights. Using your cooldowns too early can leave you vulnerable and reduce your chances of winning critical contests.
