I watch these videos for two reasons and two reasons alone: 1. To hear you sing your songs, and 2. To make sure you don’t think my trainer card is boring if you had a random match against me
@@spragels I was the Eldegoss in your 4:47 game on the enemy team. When you looked at my trainer card and said it was cool I was like omg that's weird that is the outfit I used to wear and then I noticed it was actually me! I'm in masters now as an eldegoss main, this was back when I first started playing pokemon unite. So cool knowing that I've played against you in the past! haha
It's good to see that team dynamics like this happens to everyone.. cause this is the type of game that will have me put this game down for a few days 😩
I flew from Ultra 1 to Ultra 4 with a crazy win streak. I was one win away from hitting Ultra 5, then I lost three games in a row in a similar way, where the opposing team was just demolishing us at our goal. So frustrating.
Maybe you should try Talonflame since you got the Pilot Holowear Or play some hard carries/people you’re good with, it is unfortunate when your team isn’t able to secure objectives
Hard to imagine anyone getting bothered with your occasional sing-songiness. Out of all the random personality quirks that a person could have, that's probably among the coolest and least offensive.
Instead of a bagillion comments I'll put the rest in one. -Keep singing man, it's not just entertaining but it's you and it wouldn't be the same without song. -When it comes to the camera position, the only problem I see is you can't see which lane or character the bottom person chooses. Other than that no complaints -Your Dr. Seuss rant had me roaring! XD It reminds me of the rants Rick Mercer used to do on the Rick Mercer report. If you don't know him but he's a Canadian icon, you should look his rants up -Great vid as always, sorry you had some pretty hard losses. But at least you had that one Ninetails match with the decent Machamp partner. Keep it up man!
Love the videos! Just finished my grind to masters solo in 3 weeks. Your videos as well as a few others helped immensely. Pushed up to low-Ultra filling but maining Wigglytuff/Slowbro. Hit pretty much my only wall there and turned to the dark side that is Blastoise. Thanks for all of the content man
Just so you know, most of the time when you look at the trainer cards the character pose doesn’t load. So it looks like they are standing there for no reason when they should be doing the peace sign or something.
You mention not doing quick battles but id recommend to do your quick battle every day. Its not much but you get 50 tickets which you can use to get 5 item enhancers. Do it every day and there's a bonus 35 enhancers a week so it is definitely worth doing on a free to play account
Regarding blaze kick, for some reason if you time a blaze kick at the right moment you can cancel some pokemons unite move activation, I cant count the number of times where I attempt to use cram's unite only for a blaze kick from a cinderace to completely halt it and reduce my ult charge down to 0
BIG OOF. That sucks considering Pyro Ball will probably be the move of choice now. Idk though. We will see. I wanna play a totally long distance ADC jungler if the meta will allow for it, and the PB buff makes it sound possible 👏🏻
I just played against you on your main account!!! I have been grinding for a while now trying to get into masters, then I finally get put into a masters match and I’m playing against my favorite RUclips!
I love watching your videos while I play the game! I've been trying to grind to Master rank by using only Talonflame. It's been a tough road but me and Flame are on Expert rank right now.
1:18:38 Slowbro actually didn’t successfully score, it still had 26 after the bar filled and they jumped up. You’d have won if it had started scoring half a second earlier. (Or if you had gotten there earlier, since scores go faster with teammates in the goal)
Are you sure it's also when teammates are in the goal, and not just when another teammate is scoring? I'd check the tutorial again if I was at the game right now.
I remember doing what the lucario did XD. Me and my brother were teamed up with randoms and the score on both side were even. I managed to make it to the base and score right before the timer end, giving us a 89 oints lead, despite the opposing team getting Zapdos and managed to win it for us lol.
I feel like since you lose quite a few games to 30+ second respawn timers during a zap team fight it might be worth experimenting with purposely getting kod around 3 mins so you might be able to get back in a fight (only at the low levels obv, giving up the exp seems terrible at higher ranks)
Whoa! Nice. I can usually tell when there’s two on top of each other but that’s a good tactic especially if you haven’t increased the size of your minimap
I rose through the ranks once I started insta-locking venusaur (I used to fill all the time) since I can usually reliably steal major objectives with it. Once the objective fights, especially zap, were more in my control, I stopped losing as much
I’ve been waiting for you to play Venusaur. You’ve barely touched them in your R2M, which has made me sad as a Venusaur main. So glad it happened this video
This is definitely happening more frequently in ELITE than in the lower ranks. I haven't made it past Elite for a week. Where there's a losing streak due to the team not doing what MOBAs need them to do, team having players that are try hards and subbornly go for goals even though they're gonna die.
The thing about try harding is you actually gotta try hard and not just give up KOs like that. It happens a lot in Great too, I’ve been hardstuck there. Course I don’t get to play as much as I’d like but yeah.
I just played two games in a row that looked like your first two games, but all the players on my team were master rank. So you're right, nothing changes as you rise in rank!
Pushing/overextending is a big mistake that I try to always avoid and tell my teammates to retreat when they do it. Especially if you’re ahead, even if their opposing carry gets 1-2 kills it can make a big difference and they can catch up fast
Climbing out of expert in Solo queue is tough. I floated forever in between expert 3 and 4. Barely making it to 5. Most matches are like your game as Machamp. A lot of my teammates don't rotate objectives or for whatever reason they think they can push hard when the smarter play is to move back and stay safe
Idk if you recall, but AOC actually played Among Us a couple times with Disguised Toast, Jacksepticeye, Valkyrae, and a few others. Lmao. It was a fun time! Politics weren’t mentioned at all from what I recall. 😸
The moment you got that border and didn't realise I burst out laughing, I've been unlucky enough to have it twice - still waiting on the berry lax. (I know I could get it with the 88 holowear tickets it gave, but that's admitting defeat)
How to carry: - Purely play hardcarry Pokémon like Cinderace/Greninja - Only lock Top/Jungle since then you have atleast +1 rotating to Dreadnaw - Don't use your unite move in the last 3minutes unless you contest Zapdos
I’d also add that 90% of the time, unless you’re in a coordinated team with friends or something, at Zapdos just take out as many as you can and then do Zap. The average SoloQ team is either going to fight him anyway or do a terrible job defending (seen in Jake’s last match of this vid) Just give yourself the best odds of getting it and then roll the dice. Better than trying a half ass defend imo
I don't know how much time I've spent in Veteran Class 1-3. I had a streak of losses and stopped playing ranked altogether until the Season ends so I can get the Veteran rewards instead of dropping rank and getting Expert rewards.
I wanna play with you but I am still a low rank because I'll play games super well but then since I'm in a low rank my team just does not know what they are doing
Hey cowboy, got a question, I've now gotten into ultra (free to play) but I don't have a support or all rounder yet. I try to fill if needed, so what would be good pokemon to pick to fill those roles a bit
@@spragels oh yeah I was already planning on getting wiggly and lucario, I more so meant which mon to pick as a replacement for the time being as I don't have them yet
@@armoka9470 Ohhh my bad. I don't think anyone fully replaces them but the closest would be a defender in some respects. If your team needs an all rounder you could use a carry and if the team needs a support you could go defender.
Um very interested in seeing how many matches you need to get to master rank, I got there today after my 149th ranked match and I also played solo queue almost every match. Anyway great video:)
@@spragels definitely but I always played pokémon I like not nessesarily meta, at least before I became ultra. After being ultra I played greninja and blastoise most games. :D
Should you figure out why you are the way your are or should you just embrace the way you are? Well, one thing I can say for sure is that other people will insist you do the former and let them do the latter. Every single time regardless of what that means for you or for them.
did they make a new zapdos change? because I died once at zapdos and was out for 50 seconds. if they did that's a horrible change, fyi I was playing ranked.
No, idk if you saw the video, but you must have been getting a lot of kills that game. Death timer is based on a few factors; time left in the match, how many kills you got since the last time you died, and a few other things I can’t remember but I know those two were weighted heavily. Maybe number of points scored also
I watch these videos for two reasons and two reasons alone:
1. To hear you sing your songs, and
2. To make sure you don’t think my trainer card is boring if you had a random match against me
NGL, seeing a master player going through the same difficulties as I do makes me more confident and motivates me to try harder to get to masters
Love to hear it

@@aussypat that’s pretty cool! Haha
That's a mighty fancy pair of socks you unlocked in the beginning, Mr. Spragels.
so glad these are longer and more frequent, still loving this series
Awesome
There is something comforting about Jake going through the same road blocks as I do at this stage
It's good to see that team dynamics like this happens to everyone.. cause this is the type of game that will have me put this game down for a few days 😩

Hard to imagine anyone getting bothered with your occasional sing-songiness. Out of all the random personality quirks that a person could have, that's probably among the coolest and least offensive.
Considering other personality traits people could have (and frequently do these days) instead, I 100% agree.
Instead of a bagillion comments I'll put the rest in one.
-Keep singing man, it's not just entertaining but it's you and it wouldn't be the same without song.
-When it comes to the camera position, the only problem I see is you can't see which lane or character the bottom person chooses. Other than that no complaints

-Great vid as always, sorry you had some pretty hard losses. But at least you had that one Ninetails match with the decent Machamp partner. Keep it up man!
Although... more comments = better algorithm... Maybe I'll keep them all separate next time : )
Love it thank you
I appreciate the random songs. "welcome to the jungle, we got cinderace" is pure gold

Jake, just want to say I do like it when you sing the songs :)
Love your content! I just made it to Master rank and your videos have been a huge help in getting there. Keep up everything you’re doing. Yeehaw!!
never stop singing the songs pls
Now I'm imaging a Jigglypuff with a mustache.
Stoked for another part of the series! Also keep the songs coming :)
Regarding blaze kick, for some reason if you time a blaze kick at the right moment you can cancel some pokemons unite move activation, I cant count the number of times where I attempt to use cram's unite only for a blaze kick from a cinderace to completely halt it and reduce my ult charge down to 0

wow im early, love the content!! cant wit for the teeds and krashy collab!
love the 1hr+ videos, allows me to watch it bit by bit while eating food :D
Went on a crazy 8 game win streak from ultra 1 to ultra 4. Thanks for the lessons cowboy!
Love the bounce back game 3, those 2 (or more) lose streaks are demoralizing mentally!
I just played against you on your main account!!! I have been grinding for a while now trying to get into masters, then I finally get put into a masters match and I’m playing against my favorite RUclips!
I love watching your videos while I play the game! I've been trying to grind to Master rank by using only Talonflame. It's been a tough road but me and Flame are on Expert rank right now.

Oof that sounds rough. Maybe the patch will help ya :)
YES! Another hour of Jake

Are you sure it's also when teammates are in the goal, and not just when another teammate is scoring?
I'd check the tutorial again if I was at the game right now.
@@Pslamist I watched a video from SuperTeeds yesterday testing this, and they just need to be within the goal
@@awesomeperson5150 only problem about this is that they need to be ON the goal BEFORE you start scoring. It doesn’t increase speed halfway thru
GGs on the Talonflame! Lil jelly ngl
Jake I personally LOVE your songs, when you say they should be real songs im with ya cowboy
Maybe try talonflame: first of all you got that fancy holowear and second with fly your able to steal every objective easily
That first game! That exact situation at the end happens to me all the time.
I remember doing what the lucario did XD. Me and my brother were teamed up with randoms and the score on both side were even. I managed to make it to the base and score right before the timer end, giving us a 89 oints lead, despite the opposing team getting Zapdos and managed to win it for us lol.
I am in awe of that "Master rank" reflex. For real no joke, wow.
Nice!
Just what I needed
1:11 What a roll my guy!! I'd play Talonflame if I had that skin.
I feel like since you lose quite a few games to 30+ second respawn timers during a zap team fight it might be worth experimenting with purposely getting kod around 3 mins so you might be able to get back in a fight (only at the low levels obv, giving up the exp seems terrible at higher ranks)
Crustle hides friendly sprites when overlapping. Saw a duo using crustle to sneak zeraora into fights/goalposts
Whoa! Nice. I can usually tell when there’s two on top of each other but that’s a good tactic especially if you haven’t increased the size of your minimap
Jake, I run score shield on Venusaur. Muscle Band is good, but you need Score Shield for the last 2 minutes.
Pilot Talon POG. Now Talon has the hidden 5% additional damage when Talon is wearing the pilot gear. Congrats!
I rose through the ranks once I started insta-locking venusaur (I used to fill all the time) since I can usually reliably steal major objectives with it. Once the objective fights, especially zap, were more in my control, I stopped losing as much
Interesting. I might try Vena once the new patch goes up. Maybe Giga Drain/Solar Beam since Giga is gonna give more health now
I’ve been waiting for you to play Venusaur. You’ve barely touched them in your R2M, which has made me sad as a Venusaur main. So glad it happened this video
Venasaur may be even more effective as of tomorrow/time the patch going live your time zone
This is definitely happening more frequently in ELITE than in the lower ranks. I haven't made it past Elite for a week. Where there's a losing streak due to the team not doing what MOBAs need them to do, team having players that are try hards and subbornly go for goals even though they're gonna die.
The thing about try harding is you actually gotta try hard and not just give up KOs like that. It happens a lot in Great too, I’ve been hardstuck there. Course I don’t get to play as much as I’d like but yeah.
Err sorry. I’m in Expert
That Lucario scoring at the end was brutal lol
1:05:00 the sad part is that your team was ahead and then all together decide to score instead of defending...that happens to me quite often
I just played two games in a row that looked like your first two games, but all the players on my team were master rank. So you're right, nothing changes as you rise in rank!
When I play I make many tactical mistakes, pushing to hard, etc. It is comforting to see that good players sometimes make mistakes also
Pushing/overextending is a big mistake that I try to always avoid and tell my teammates to retreat when they do it. Especially if you’re ahead, even if their opposing carry gets 1-2 kills it can make a big difference and they can catch up fast
What I can’t believe people hate your songs I love them. Btw will there be a jake and krashy song?
I felt your pain when Lucario scored last second been there brother
I'm gonna be one of those people that comments before the video is done. I think that's something Jake 7 would appreciate.
Climbing out of expert in Solo queue is tough. I floated forever in between expert 3 and 4. Barely making it to 5.
Most matches are like your game as Machamp. A lot of my teammates don't rotate objectives or for whatever reason they think they can push hard when the smarter play is to move back and stay safe
THIS. they overextend constantly in low-ish ranks
Idk if you recall, but AOC actually played Among Us a couple times with Disguised Toast, Jacksepticeye, Valkyrae, and a few others. Lmao. It was a fun time! Politics weren’t mentioned at all from what I recall. 😸
I can't wait 😭
What pokemon do you enjoy playing the most? (I like Venasaur, crustle, and greninja)
I would love if u uploaded some group gameplay to youtube. Like you and some other content creators queuing in masters. Love your content btw!!
Might have something happening soon!
That talon flame skin was the first thing I ever got from that .. nothing but socks ever since
I went from veteran class 3 to bottom of class 1 then back to veteran class 3 in 1 day. I seem to go on losing or winning streaks.
The next Jake will be the content karate master and yell Heeyaw while doing a kick, that's my prediction
He really likes to hold on to those unite moves
no one:
jake at 1:23 : no way-**evil french laugh**
The moment you got that border and didn't realise I burst out laughing, I've been unlucky enough to have it twice - still waiting on the berry lax. (I know I could get it with the 88 holowear tickets it gave, but that's admitting defeat)
Hahaha I had no idea what it meant
see now you gotta main talonflame on this! You got the skin lmao
I personal take blaze kick on cinderace when they got engage which kills me and pyroball if they got AoE which kills me.
I also got Talonflame's Holowear! There's a high chance that you will got the holowear if you don't have Talonflame license.
SUS
Blastoise is a good pick for these games. Your team almost always needs bulk and you can 1v5 and steal zap.
How to carry:
- Purely play hardcarry Pokémon like Cinderace/Greninja
- Only lock Top/Jungle since then you have atleast +1 rotating to Dreadnaw
- Don't use your unite move in the last 3minutes unless you contest Zapdos
I’d also add that 90% of the time, unless you’re in a coordinated team with friends or something, at Zapdos just take out as many as you can and then do Zap. The average SoloQ team is either going to fight him anyway or do a terrible job defending (seen in Jake’s last match of this vid)
Just give yourself the best odds of getting it and then roll the dice. Better than trying a half ass defend imo
For the record, I love the songs.
Bout to go hard in the paint on this report while I listen to this unitecast
Luv the series. Pls can you play lucario. Its a ranked carry.
Jake, play Venusaur. You can secure objectives from a mile away. He's not the best carry, but pretty good low ranks
Made it to masters today, free to play solo queue! The most frustrating grind ever!
I got to master rank from expert by using mostly machamp. He is really good with my playstyle. Very versatile which is fair since he is an all rounder
With fluffy tail in the jungle, I use it on the lillipup to get that faster, then it's up again for the bouffalant.
Good call!
Man climbing out of expert has been so frustrating, I feel like I win three lose four constantly. Been class 2 for a week...
Been the same for me at veteran 3, dont know how long ive been stuck anymore
Yes!!! Expert is trash!! It's like they put you with literally the worst people when you are about to rank up!
I don't know how much time I've spent in Veteran Class 1-3. I had a streak of losses and stopped playing ranked altogether until the Season ends so I can get the Veteran rewards instead of dropping rank and getting Expert rewards.
@@tarkus1056 hey just so you know, the rewards you get are based on highest rank achieved all season
@@wolfiemuse Are you for real? So I've been losing my sanity at the chaos that is Standard for no reason?
I wanna play with you but I am still a low rank because I'll play games super well but then since I'm in a low rank my team just does not know what they are doing
I'm f2p 2 at ultra lvl 2 atm. Would be great if I make it to master before mobile cuz I need the rewards :D
My free account rolled berry Snorlax on first roll.... Was unreal lol
Expert was the hardest rank for me to get out of because of games like these
Give this man an oscar
This video makes me feel a lot better about spending as much time in Expert as I have.
I’m at Expert Class 5 (as of writing this) here’s to hoping I rank up to Veteran!
@@Flaming_Saturn I've clawed my way back to Class 4 a couple times now.
sadly veteran is way harder because the enemies start to get organised but your mates stay really bad
When you unlock crustle, he can carry you to masters quick. He is best boi
just got mobile and with the free item boots they give you it seems the least ptw moba, mobile legends take forever to get 60 emblems
Hey cowboy, got a question, I've now gotten into ultra (free to play) but I don't have a support or all rounder yet. I try to fill if needed, so what would be good pokemon to pick to fill those roles a bit
Wiggly and lucario are both so good. Eldegoss is next for support because I think it’s so fun to play.

Jake, there has to be a better place for your camera. Like lower left?

Um very interested in seeing how many matches you need to get to master rank, I got there today after my 149th ranked match and I also played solo queue almost every match. Anyway great video:)
I wonder how many it took me on my main. I think if I just played hard carries it would take less time.
@@spragels definitely but I always played pokémon I like not nessesarily meta, at least before I became ultra. After being ultra I played greninja and blastoise most games. :D
Yeah Trevor
Thanks! I’m here in the second minute!
You can have AOC on your squad, it's ok, really. 😅 Still love your content, my gameplay has gotten much better watching this.
Spragels: opens one aeos energy, gets talon flame
Me: Reeeeeeeeeeeee
Main account I’ve got no skins and probably opened a few hundred
Not having a scoreboard during game is good so people don't give up early but that ending is why we really need it lol
I wanna run a few with you !!!!!
Finish your rewards so you can get crustle!!!!
Looks like you should get Talonflame now 😂
You got so shocked at pilot talonflame and I got after like 6-7 weeks of playing daily I got pilot and berry snrolax back to back
Welp, now you gotta get talonflame XD
I’m down for you to play talon with that skin
Need submission cross chop for machamp
Should you figure out why you are the way your are or should you just embrace the way you are?
Well, one thing I can say for sure is that other people will insist you do the former and let them do the latter. Every single time regardless of what that means for you or for them.
One of my favorite sayings: “The people who matter don’t care, and the people who care don’t matter.”
jake is a based AOC fan confirmed
Rough day. You'll get it tomorrow Jake! Yeehaw!
did they make a new zapdos change?
because I died once at zapdos and was out for 50 seconds.
if they did that's a horrible change, fyi I was playing ranked.
No, idk if you saw the video, but you must have been getting a lot of kills that game. Death timer is based on a few factors; time left in the match, how many kills you got since the last time you died, and a few other things I can’t remember but I know those two were weighted heavily. Maybe number of points scored also
