This is my current favorite ongoing RUclips series. I get Krashy streams at night, and Spragels videos by day. It doesn’t get much better than this.
Hey Jake, I was the Aipom in that bot match. GG
haha nice!
NO WAY????? I WAS THE CORPHISH!!!!!
I was the ludicolo
No way,i was the Rotom :0
I was the left Combee on the bottom path on the 2nd spawn.
1:10:45 I don’t say this very often, but mangoluver’s fashion is on point. They also played an excellent Slowbro, like at 1:17:06 when they stood in the goal for you to score faster. And at 1:19:07 when they Telekinesised a spinning Blastoise
Yeah that was good. I didn’t even think you could telekinesis on rapid spin
Been watching the grind since day 1, loving the series! The solo-queue grind is REAL, this has been giving me tips and hope to keep pushing! Ultra C2 rn… so close… but SO FAR
As a Blissey main, I feel your pain. Though I'm already noticing my winrate increase as I push into Veteran. There is just a 50/50 chance that my lanemate has down syndrome.
You got this!
Nice! I’m still popping between veteran classes… such a hard grind! Gonna try to join Jake’s twitch streams to get a consistent win lol
Was there a couple days ago, just made it to Master tonight. Just keep swimming!
Sad but funny irony... this is why people are having to resort to playing Carries & try to not suck at actually Carrying till they can get to Master, THEN they can actually try havin fun with other Pokes, thus ya see Master Players in Master Games runnin around on Pokes they aren't used to & lookin derpy as Beginner Ranks... cause they couldn't get any chance to try out new Pokes & Strats in the actual lower ranks where it belongs cause ya can't get any valid Mad Science Data when ya got Allies actin dumber than Bots. :P
I'm really enjoying these!
Thank you
just had a match with you earlier today. I had never heard of you until 2 people in my chat said they watched you lol. i was the Gardevoir named SkepTV. That was a wild game, but thanks to it I finally got master so thanks for that. I was ping ponging around back and forth up and down ultra rank 5 until then, and it was stressing me out something fierce.
Ohh yeah that was a wild one! GG
@@spragels yeah GG. I swore I threw the game when I got killed before the Zapdos fight. T-T
I wish I had all the knowledge from the beginning, I upgrade "The Snorlax Items" I read a crappy guide and since I played The main games I though Leftovers would be awesome, same for rocky helmet I was like: "No way Snorlax could use booth of them" A waste of resources until I figure out and follow nice channels like yours. Thanks for your help buddy.
Yeppp I have the Rocky helmet and assault vest upgraded a lot more than they need to be… finally got my focus band and BB to 20, now working on score shield.
Leftovers needs help, bad... but I still can't help but to wonder if the Rocky Helm is underrated just cause only a few Pokes & Strats to go with them can put them to use... & cause BB & FS spotlight steal.
I love when my teammates are nowhere to be found when you need help to secure a ko or an objective. Then they spam the backup option for 3 minutes. Its my favorite feature.
I'm excited when I see another one of these dropped. It's like watching a series on Netflix I love it.
I got a quickplay bot match, didn't even know those existed..
Keep up the great content Jake 😉
That eldigoss when you played ninetails was a great support in that match
YEEHAW! Happy to see Jake still on the Master grind!
WOooooooOOOO
It says "translate to English" under spragels comment lol
I really love this Series ive watched almost every episode and it’s really chill while i shiny Hunt, love it🤠
I said this in a previous video, but next time you get a bot match, pick a strong carry/jungler and rush straight to the enemy jungle. Kill their jungler and stay in their jungle stealing everything and repeatedly killing the jungler (and scoring/wiping a lane when you need to score). They will surrender very early doing this.
The solo grind was fun for me, it was rather quick, but I always picked Lucario top so I could rotate to Drednaw timely, games got a bit better in the higher ranks (not too much though)
Anyway, love the series, keep it up! :D
Thank you!!
That’s a good idea. I need to get better with Lucario
Hi Jake, I remember commenting something about trying not to lose instead of trying to win. What I meant was that in these low ranks nobody knows what's going on, so it's like babysitting your teammates. They think they are helping but they are actually making you lose 😄. It's like that Tom & Jerry episode where Jerry is dropping all that fancy china to the floor and Tom is desperately running around the house trying to prevent it from breaking. You are Tom.
Hey a tip when starting as Zera, take Slash as first ability. You can use slash to jump over the starting wall :)
In that Absol game where you got stomped, idk why you're having like an existential crisis about him not jungling... I'll give junglers like 10 seconds from their buffs spawning before I call fair game on them. The jungle has to be taken- it's the single fastest and most important xp on the entire map outside of dred. If the jungler doesn't take it, you have to take it. Not taking your own jungle is a losing strategy, even if it feels like you shouldn't be taking them you just have to. If the jungler wants his jungle he'll be on time for it. Don't snatch it in front of his face or kill steal from him, but if he's on the other side of the map and there's buffs up those are yours or your teammates buffs. Every single time... 10 seconds- that's the grace period. God speed Jake, keep up the good work. Love the aggression on Machamp btw, if you take cross chop and eject button you can go even harder in the paint due to the increased mobility that allows you to exit overextended positions (like when your teammates just dont follow you).
That's not always the case. Sometimes I go to help gank a lane and then the teammates both die and instead of coming right back to the lane i'm left defending the goal while they're in my jungle stealing my buffs that has been up longer than 10 seconds.
very entertaining videos. i am having a hard time right now and your long videos help me a lot. thanks for the effort and for your entertaining comments :)
You’re welcome!
I'm in Expert 5 and I feel your pain with your Charizard match. I've had matched where our jungler just stayed top lane all match and never really rotated.
I feel ya!
Not only am I learning how to be a better player, I’m also learning how to explain the game to my friends who are far less experienced with MOBAs. So I really enjoy this specific series!
I also had Unite dreams, though they usually happen after I play before sleeping. In my last one I stopped matchmaking because I was aware I was asleep and didn’t want to afk
Keep up the grind Jake, you'll get there, I know you will, I believe in you. YEE HAW!
My mnemonic for remembering which way Lillipup goes is: Sand down, grass up.
Sand down sounds like "man down" or "stand down" and grass up sounds like "ass up" or "arse up".
Jake I love your videos but more than that, I love you. It is nice to see a person just unapologetically and authentically being themselves. I relate so much to so many of your quirks.
Also, when you brought up married at first sight I died! Everything you said about the people on the show are thoughts I have had on multiple occasions.
this stream is a good insight into the realities of the grind lol. not like some people who just pick their best game to post.
Love the vibe!! Thank you for doing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
About what to use those item enhancers on, my vote goes for score shield, it's just so fun to score in peoples faces
Score shield OP scales better than muscle band at level 20. I'd recomend upgrading that one first.
Upgrade the score shield. Loving the series 👌
The "ugh...what are you doing?" has been said SOOO many times from me in my solo climb to Ultra
That's it mate. I hate playing with Zera and it's also a sub-optimal pick, but I did my way up to Masters playing more than 70% of the matches with him. The reason why I did it is because it's a sure pick in lower ranks and I don't wanna a not so skilled guy playing a sub-optimal pkm. It worked for me and now I may play my matches with the pokémon I like (and are part of the meta).
First I want to say your videos have been helping me out a lot. My gameplay and matches have improved and I finally got to Ultra thanks to your help. Second, powdered GFuel is ssssooooo much better. Third is I started viewing bot matches as an opportunity to practice. So whenever I got one I started experimenting different builds, pokemon, etc. And that also added to my improvement :)
I personally really enjoy the score shield strategy. Love using that with defenders and an aeos cookie, scoring as much as possible and just getting a ton of health
I really liked your master grind vids, it doesn't just show the win but also the struggles. Keep it up. YEE-HAW!
I got master last week honestly didn’t expect it and thought I’d stop at ultra but I managed to keep going.
Keep going :)!
Solo queue too. Except for max 10 games with a friend who’s still in great.
How is it possible that Jake 4 can't get sponsors?
Thank you for showcasing the struggles. I've been stuck in Expert 2 for the past few weeks..disheartening.
these are always great, thanks for the nice distraction from the hell of senior year of high school
Upgrade Muscle Band, I'd love to see more scoring without the use of Score Shield (I can never score without Score Shield and could really use the help here!)
Advice: only fight battles that are either totally necessary like objective fights or when the fight gets brought to your goal zones. Try to only engage if you have at least one teammate with you and you feel like you have a good chance of winning the engagement. Then score after those wipes.
25:38 I laughed out loud from that Slowbro in the bot match.
Just a quick tip, if you use Slash in the beginning against the Lillipup, you will automatically jump over the wall. Love your videos 😄
Great video as always!! Also they NEED to add a recall thing for the item enhancers, I have so many wasted enhancers on bad items from the start
RE: Which items to upgrade, I'd suggest muscleband. While scoreshield is great for securing scores, it's not useful for teamfights. Unfortunate that so many UNITE players seem to not know how to MOBA
You win the game directly
By scoring ….. team fights may or may not help , if you win a team fight doesn’t gaurentee you score …. And ultimately scoring wins , not team fights . I feel too many people forget this …. Or don’t fully appreciate it … I’d rather have 0 kills and 250 points than 11 kills winning team fights and 80 points. P.S. scoring gives you extra xp to level up AND recharges your ult 10% every time you score .
Every time . Scoring is SO important . Team fights are
Important to a lesser degree but scoring wins !
Unrelated comment to my last one but I love when you talk about you daughter, I can tell how happy she makes you
Just a little heads-up: You had multiple occasions where your abilities targeted the wrong person! Try to play with the target cursor on yout screen, it can be really helpful especially in these smurf games since you need to focus the enemy carry or support first! ^^
these eps are like a mini movie to relax n watch. thanks for doing them! yeeehaw😂🤠
One match away from Expert Class 5! These vids have been super helpful and fun!
As someone who's played a ton of greninja, I personally think water shuriken is by far the easier moveset to go with since it's easier to just maintain distance as a squishy. It's also more popular I think for that reason but I like surf way better because of the executes and team kos which I think ultimately makes it higher skill ceiling
Hey Mr. Dr. Professor Content cowboy quick tip on bot games: they surrender if your team scored enough before the 5 minute mark if it hits 5 minutes and they dont surrender the next time they'll surrender is when all of their goals except the unbreakable goal is broken so if they dont surrender at 5 just try and break all goals ASAP!
I play a ton of Venosaur in solo queue and I’ve found that survivability is key in a lot of matches, especially if you cant rely on your time. So I usually go with giga drain instead of sludge bomb, it can keep you alive for twice as long which is worth more than possibly getting an extra kill IMO
I personally love the extra help it can give your team in a big fight. Just hang back and lob a sludge bomb. They either have to hold their ground and try winning the engagement, or they have to push back out of the poison puddle with our team at their back. I want to try giga drain though. I've only used it once :D
@@OscarSanchez-nk3uw the more I use sludge bomb the more I see the benefits of having it, especially if your team is capable of utilizing it with you. Giga Drain is really nice though! I think it allows you to play more aggressive if that’s your thing
These are always so much fun to watch! Keep it up Jake 4. You’re doing great. Lead us to victory
The question I have is, if they will add mega evolutions as skins
So I've done some research. I've found that playing epic music in the background actually improves your chance at winning by a significant margin. I find that playing the pokemon black and white rival music helps the best.
Source:
before playing music: losing every other game
After: win streak
haha love it
Upgrade score shield. Muscle is probably better, but score shield is such a game changing item, its fun, i like that item a lot
Muscle Band just gives you so much more value from 10 > 20 than other items.
I'd say once you have them all at lvl 10 the upgrade order should be Muscle Band > Buddy Barrier > Score Shield > Focus Band. Focus Band is already very good at lvl 10 and the upgrade bonus isn't that significant. Obviously you DO want to get it to 20 but the other items of the 'core four' just give you more value, in my opinion.
Score shield for melee Pokemon or ranged defenders, muscle band for all other ranged Pokemon. But if I had to pick one for this series, I'd say score shield because it's hype
i have a 74% WR right now with Venusaur with over 50 games in masters.. i agree with the sniping thing. there's give and take with it though - sometimes you are gonna lose the fight so its better to sit back and wait. fight when you're not worried about losing the fight/zap.. but when you solar beam the enemy team and then they kill zap before you can even wait the 5s cd for it.. that feels bad
That venusaur bot death had a 55 second respawn timer. That's horrendous!
37:04 "I'm definitely gonna try to Unite them if they're all together. That's for sure."
Ah, the unintentional puns.
Haha perfect
You are my favorite RUclipsr! You are good at the game and just chill while having fun. YEEHAW
Love these longer videos! Let's me do some chores and errands while wearing my earbuds and listening to your masterful commentary and humor.
imo I feel like as long as you focus on farming and helping out teammates when they (inevitably) start fights, then I think score shield is the way to go
I wish I had someone good and chill like you to play with, would actually want to play because being alone always stuck with the worst possible makes it not even fun to play
Also, these matches make me feel a lot better about my ranked matches. I'm not the best Unite player but I always try to stick to the basics. Even so, my teammates are often like the Absol match. I do my best to gain exp in these cases but I'm just not good enough to carry.
update your portrait frame with the newly talon pilot frame :) .. i want you to see use it ingame :) at least at your small account :)
Ok will do
@@spragels you can be proud and happy with it .. i still didn't got it 😔
btw: i really like your pokemon unite content 👍😎 its helpful and entertaining with nice jokes 😊 keep up your good work, content cowawboy (or how you spelled it in the first episode 😅)
@@robinerlacher679 Thank you!! sounds like how i'd spell something
Score Shield is very likely the best item in the game. While Muscle helps win fights, scoring helps win games.
Thank you for giving us lots of daily videos!
Hi thanks for this new video ! The problem with Venausor is larger than them doing something else than helping the team. To me, the pokemon get destroyed in two seconds, his poisonous move is the easiest one to dodge (or one of) while he makes low dammage. So each time I see one, it's like we are 4vs5.
I wish real Donald was as cool and funny as your impersonation!
I lost Zapdos in a bot match before and thought I was actually going to lose the game because I was in respawn. However, to my surprise, the AI opponents didn't even try to score until I respawned and had time to stop them.
Hey Jake, I’ve started using fluffy tail more after watching these R2M videos. Great strategy to help with objectives.
Killing yourself off in your own headcanon movie 😭 pretty brutal jake 😆
Hey, I love watching these as always :)
Just a little thing, start with slash, you can still jump over the wall and will be much faster!
18:35ish... I vote Muscle Band! :D
27:30ish... Ya also know it's a Bot Match when a foe loses a 1 V 1 vs Laning Rotom... LOL XD
40:15ish... I dunno if that kinda Retreat Signal would cut it for me. If I was at Dread & saw ya do that same thing, i'd assume ya were warning us that there was deadly force in that area & avoid it for now, or something like that...
Speakin of Greninja's Water Shuriken Skill, wouldn't it be cool if they worked like Overwatch Genji's Shurikens where ya could choose how ya throw a Barrage between 'sequence of 3' & 'wide spread'? :)
57:16 Yeah, noticed that bug a lot, where the pose doesn’t appear properly
Love these grind videos! In the Ninetales match that you had a Elde supp, I was kinda cringing at the fact that it needed one kill to evolve and you did't give one to it ._.
Lmaoo no kidding. I had a nightmare that I was a Pokemon unite trainer and all of my teammates were down, and look up to see nothing but orange glowing people running at me with Pokemon.
I stopped playing Pokemon Unite for 2 days after that. It was traumatizing.
Hahah wow that’s a wild one
As your sponsor, I'd like to suggest that you keep up the good work buddy.
I wasn't actually expecting them to give you a bot match at expert!
You have such a cool vibe and kind personality btw
I don’t really know. Both items are very good. If I have to choose, I’ll say score shield. In low ranks it’s all about “to make my team feels like is winning, so it plays better”. Score shield helps you to do it
About the Zapdos dilemma: when my team is scattered around the map and we are only 2 vs 5 fighting for zap, I usually hide and try to steal it, even if my teammate choose to fight enemies. Probabilities of stealing are higher than probabilities that we win 2 vs 5. But I don’t know, too, if this is the best strategy.
but how beautiful is the animation of charmander turning his head in the direction of the enemy when he spits fire?
Proud to say I got to Masters myself before you did in this series haha, I was a little worried you’d lap me
I'm a simple man, I see a Jake video and I click it.
I’d probably go with upgrading the muscle band.
Nice!
Struggling on expert 4/5. The struggle is realllllll solo queuing is addicting and self destructing at the same time
Same but in ultra
you should get talonflame as you got the skin last ep
Yes. He does not even play talon much so why not
It’s honestly crazy how sometimes you would rather die just to have a shorter respawn cooldown
Also thanks for the videos, learning alot from them!
I'd also like to see how many times you can pull off the Zeraora combo and put the team in a good position to win the team fight.
You should upgrade Muscle Band to help secure Zap and carry more in general
Howdy Content Cowboy! I think you should go for Score Shield! It'll help with clutch plays scoring in late games!
Dude you have to use the score shield and crustle
i'd rather see score shield upgraded. it's better for late game - which is when you need the extra scoring power to help secure the game
Best way to last hit zap is either with surf greninja, or pup lucario but u should k ow that Jake 4, if that even is Jake 4 🤯
Also I vote score shield, I think it's one of the best passive skills you can have
I lost the battle to get into Master because my teammate tried to take Zapdos even though we were way ahead and it was stolen, then I went on such a bad losing streak that I’m now Ultra 2 or something. I think I may give up on my own Road to Masters lol
Check out the Discord and get a group together. My final push through Ultra took almost as long as the initial climb, having some people to hang out with and coordinate team comps and fights helped a ton.
Upgrade the score shield bro so you can "score right in there facee" I watch you everyday! How can I be a member or subscribe! Keep it up dude
The absol sticker is on top of my head
I think you should upgrade Muscle band just for the extra damage and then score shield for the defenders
Great!
Upgrade the muscle band! You have to take Zapdos anyway!
That “oh boy” after the single dad bit felt like you knew that joke was gonna get you sent to the dog house 😂
