You guys ever feel like quitting?

I'm close to that point now and I'm just not enjoying it.

Let me preface this by saying I've been masterball rank 107 as early as last week so I'm by no means a bad player simply salty he's taking L's.

In any competitive online video game there's always going to be metas. OP and annoying stuff the majority of players use. However I feel the current meta is at an all time cheese high that sucks the fun out of the game.

You get nuked by expanding force (seriously why did GF give this move three separate huge buffs in the most powerful terrain?) and you adapt. Lead with dark types, wide guard etc. But then the next game it's the Maushold/Archaludon duo. You adapt. Then the next game it's some other busted gimmick.

Before you know it you've tried to build a team that can counter everything in the meta but is a master of nothing. I feel like I can't even be creative. I'll spend hours trying to innovate and build a unique, fun team...and then first game trying it I come up against choice specs, tera fire, helping hand boosted Eruption Typhlosion and even my mons who resist fire get OHKO'd.

It's not to say I don't overcome all this. Sometimes I do. But even when I win I don't feel a sense of triumph. I just think "that player wasn't even skillful but I almost lost purely off them using the most OP s**t they could".

I'm sure someone will tell me to "get good" or adopt the "if you cant beat em, join em" mantra but I needed to vent. Maybe I just need a break.

Thanks for reading.
