Attack Weight fried the playerbase's brain and the damage can not be recovered from. This item is so popular that my teammates will always play it with any attack-based mon, jungle or lane, adc included. Now, this is already a bad thing in and of itself, as teammates will throw with troll picks all the time. But the damage is much, much greater than that...
It also taught players to continue throwing for useless 2-pointers the entire game to get to 6 stacks, as you can bet your sweet ass that they got max 1 stack with their double stacking cinderace, leading to this teammate spending the game dunking 2 pointers instead of helping for objectives. But this is not all quite yet! Because it is not just an issue if your teammates pick random attack-based pokemon, and this is where the malicious side of Attack Weight kicks in: because it is the only item (except other stacking items) that actively encourages a different playstyle early, it gives confidence to shitty players by giving them the illusion of being smart ; and they will, for once in their pokemon UNITE career, have a single thought about their playstyle: "If I don't have attack weight, then that must mean I should stick to getting the farm from my side of the lane if I don't stack !". And that, friends, is when all was lost for Pokemon UNITE, and all players now operate like bots. Have you noticed yet? Indeed, when your random solo queue teammate picks a non-stacking Pokemon, they will never, EVER try to contest farm in laning phase. they will only stick to getting that back baltoy while the mid Indeedee gets raped in 4k UHD by the opposing team (same goes for the farm on their side of the map). And this is why, friends, games snowball out of hand so quickly ; as the first 3 minutes in your lane has effectively become a 2v1 in the favor of the opposing team. So, next time your teammate doesnt contest a single creep, remember this post. Take a deep breath, enable voice chat and say "kys espeon".
