the most frustrating thing isn't even losing the game because of these people, it's reporting them and understanding that it's useless. the punishment should be more severe, taking away points from a player so that they avoid playing ranked for some days is useless because they recharge very quickly. punishments for those who troll or have a generally toxic attitude in the game should be punished more severely and for longer, otherwise players will never learn the lesson and will continue to behave like this.

This is why I quit Unite after playing daily for a year. Not even the balance issues fully broke me. It was the frequency of the toxic players/griefers that did it. I feel the opposite about the game than I did 6 months ago and it's so unfortunate because I truly loved Unite

The fact that he was spinning like the victory was well earned

I recognize that the mewtwo player is trolling in the midgame but I think we also need to callout the goodra that started it. The goodra switched to top after dying and left the decidueye to lane by himself in the bot, where he got destroyed and forced mewtwo to switch to a losing lane. So both the decidueye and the mewtwo were frustrated by someone not doing their early game role. Again, doesn't excuse the mewtwo player's behavior midgame but we really need to call out the toxic behavior of the goodra too.

Why does Jake look like a high school tennis coach that seen too many students fail and is desperately trying to harden his heart as the new star prospect takes the court and actually looks promising?

The amount of players I team with on randoms that never try to fight for objectives or help teammates score is atrocious

It's so hard when this happens because even if you report them it's so hard for them to actually get counted since they were technically moving so your rank goes down even though you did everything right

leaving a match because something urgent happens irl is totally excusable but this is just pathetic I can't fathom actually doing that just to grief

The triple unite on spragels was the biggest throw in history of this game. The enemy team deserved to lose the game after that.

Poor spragels had to deal with the bad mewtwo and still helped him win 😭 Did all the extra credit and got graded on a curve.

8:35 - They threw triple unite because Spragels was obviously the biggest threat lol. They probably pressed their unite button simultaneously too.

I had to stop playing last night I had two games in a row with teammates fighting over jungle then the guy out of position goes to the wrong lane when he does decide to leave jungle....... then they would die and afk and spam "Thanks!"

I bet half of this comment section will be like "i hate having players that don't help!" Knowing damn well they don't help their team mates either 💀

that's why I don't really look at win rate anymore cause one person can sabotage the whole match and there's way too many people like this

They need to remove the unstoppable effect from both mewtwos when they use qsy strike

Playing ranked this season is hard, there's always those idiotic teammates who pick glasscannons that doesn't work well earlygame I fear no man, but that thing *Attack Weight Cinderace/Greninja in Lane* It scares me

I miss the days when Jake had chill positive vibes and just treated his bad teammates naturally 😔 I'm sad that such bad metas and bad players are shaping the optimism of our favourite cowboy into sarcastic frustration

The experience isnt the same when you mute the pings

I’ve had this same thing with a M2 player that quit a minute into the game, pinged me and another guy, and invited me after to tell me I sucked… I wasn’t up to a M2 player’s standards apparently… they walked into the enemy all game though to give them free kills. We did pretty good too up until the Ray fight where we lost but this guy had the audacity to get mad at the rest of us when they could even handle a full 2 minutes of the game before getting in their feels and trying to lose it. Some people just need to get off the game or eat a Snickers or something.

Feels lole a good place to rsnt about a bad game I had recently. The enemy team had 3 defenders, a jungle Goodra that went afk for a few minutes after failing the first gank, a Trev that took forever to evolve, and all of them were farming almost nonstop all game. We secured both bottom regis and maybe both top ones, they secured Rayquaza with only one alive who got koed almost immediately, but then we lost one fight in the last minute and they got in enough points to beat out several hundred point lead. Felt absolutely terrible, no idea how my team got wiped so easily at the end there

The worst ones are the ones that intentionally try to lose. I had a venu hover our jungle all game and they stole it all game while spamming retreat. Like this match, i also managed to carry just hard enough to secure ray and win the game when the rest of the team had given up. They scored when i died securing. Then we almost still lost because the Venu was just running circles in our base. They never fought and it was a 4v6 the whole game without jungle... And we WON. God i hate players like that. In other Mobas, 1 person lagging behind isnt enough to bring the whole team down but in Unite it completely ruins the game.

Thanks for the vid Jake! I consider buying D-pult recently but seeing it kinda weak in this meta, I just prefer buying Trevenant because oh boy, Attacker sure fill the team a lot more than Defender. Maybe in I will buy D-pult much sooner if Unite decided to buff it a little because it's too squish.

10:07 Basically everyone dealing with AFK players. Sad to see for sure, glad you gave the other members of the team and yourself the W though 👊🏼

Reporting players that throw matches and seeing them go unpunished is the worst. Also, a ten point deduction? They have to be harsher. Otherwise, bad players know that they'll easily get away with it. So sad.

Still stand by my statement that timing should move quick battles then standard, then ranked in menu. That will alleviate those who just pick the first mode because they want to just play the game.

Cliff Notes Version: Never invite Mewtwo to Raising Canes.

"Mewtwo players pee in the pool" 100% accurate

I paused the video at the start to look at the team comp, and made a confident guess who the problem would be. I was not wrong.

What made the Mewtwo player start trolling (not justifying) is the Goodra who left the owl alone in bot lane. If you're not a tank you should stay in your lane until first objective appears and let the owl die alone, but he swapped lanes with the Goodra and chaos started.

At least he came back. I've had griefers who decide that they will troll the team by stealing all the farm on our side. It's especially frustrating because I don't even realize it's happening until we show up crazy under leveld at Ray and he's still farming the Indeedees and then in the data screen after the game it shows he did like 200 damage. Worst part is, these players never get punished.

I had experience like these yesterday were a player with there mic who chose blissey was so mean that calling people trash and being so rude, Becuase a zacian player took jungle which I called and then went to bottom which already had three people because the mimyiku got fed up of dying in top lane and switch bottom. I then my zacian, mimyiku started to fight with the blissey, and some how I got caught cross fire because the blissey thought it was me(I was playing delphox ) because I didn't do that well in the game, but here is the thing that makes me upset, I didn't do well literally because there was not team work. I was a level 11 delphox because they kept being selfish and stealing the farm, and the other team azumarill would keep on uniting me because no would help protect the lane because they were in their feelings, lastly the blissey didn't want to heal anybody and would pretend to try to heal wouldn't do it, I was like omg way are so petty it is just a game there so many other things should be upset about than pokemon unite.

Worst part of it all is whether you win or lose, these people will never change nor will attempt to learn of theor mistakes. They'll keep repeating it over and over because timi is horrible at managing these things

does anyone just forget some pokemon are in unite and then see them in the roster and think oh I forgot they where a thing

I’ve lost count how often that happens to me in my games

Two afk/feeder losses in a row and I'm done with ranked for the day!

IMO, the important issue is the ranking system. It's really easy for most to climb to Master rank so it make the ones that truly play have to played with the troll and grief. For higher rank there should be a different match format and more balance in rank point, I mean I can troll for 2 match and only need to win 1 match to balance out.

Resonant guard on mamo absolutely slaps, muscle and rapid fire scarf makes him a menace.

I had a Mewtwo Y player that did the same thing but it was pre-patch so it was still a very broken Pokémon to play. At the end of the game the Mewtwo Y player did a grand total of 17k damage. I thought it would be the same player I played with but the account name is different here, it could be the same player with a different account name but either way it's very frustrating to deal with.

that ending is the closest ive ever seen you to forgoing your wholesome dadness 😂😂 rightfully so. yeehaw

Picking Dragapult jungle is straight to grieving team because even if you get lead in early game, there's no way you can't die as a dragapult and give opponents comback experience, I mean it literally dies on 1 mew solar beam, and has no unstoppable on dragon dance, volt tackle Pikachu's favorite pokemon is dragapult, and it's not just Pikachu all the stunners would love to see dragapult 😂😂😂

Hi spragels I absolutely loved your in depth guide on tyranitar, I was wondering if you could maybe do one for Machamp?

Thats the bad thing in game some players quit then afk never been punish after the game 😞

What I’ll never understand is 1. How these players who lack such a fundamental misunderstanding of the game can get to masters, since the players who actually know how to play have to get ranked against competent ones to get into masters instead of being carried. 2. Why once they get into masters, people just pretend like rank doesn’t exist anymore, making it HELL to get to 1600… like if you are just gonna act as if the games don’t matter once you hit master’s, stop playing and making it worse for us who want to rank up.

i had a troll from when i was still ultra last week. i was very happy at first cuz we had a hoopa in our team. but they had a leftover tho so a bit of mixed feelings. but then into the game, not only they're just using HSH for damaging and not considering the utilities, but they straight up trolled and stole our jungle in the 2nd jungle rotation just because their lane got wrecked early game. and we lost obviously

Glad it's not just my games this season!

It's strange. Usually when they afk they stay in base the whole time but this player stays in base for like a minute and then continues to play including the ray fight he was attacking with the goodra at the end. Very odd. Maybe to just make sure they can't be reported against?

I didn't know that Ted Lasso played unite. That is actually Pog

Yes, I keep seeing the same players again and again

This has been problem for years like even if you report they do nothing, the only punishment is for afk players

This always happens to me when i use drafapult

Bro i can understand ur pain today i played a game with my friend we had a really good team but literally all the guys went afk except my frisnd fpr staright 2 minutes like bro we did a 2 v5 for 2 minutes and we eventually lost ;-;

Hear me out, Phantom force and dragon breath with x attack. It’s not the best combo but it’s fun, especially with a good frontline

It wouldn't even be so bad if this only happened once every 50 games or something, but this is just how Unite is nearly every game. If your team doesn't have the AFK troll then it's on the other team and that's why you had such an easy game. There's just no reason not to do it. You either luck into a win or nothing happens to you. Game doesn't even detect an afk most of the time.

I don't even know how to report players on the switch. You'd think they'd make it known or maybe they did and I just didn't pay attention

Looks like around 8:30ish on the clock mewtwo dove into a 1v2 bottom lane and got rekt. Afk for about a minute. Troll farmed for the rest of the game then showed up for Ray then win. Astounding how often I see this exact kind of crap. Most often end in loss tho

i had the exact same m2, he wasn't afkieng enough bcs he's punching on the side and we made him won 😀

I'm Glad to see i didn't get clipped for this video because the yesterday was not on my and tree it definitely had a little more to do with a sareena but that's all I'll say

I would have surrendered just so that he wouldn’t get a win

To players that sit in base moving around or auto attacking.....that won't prevent idling punishment. Also Mewtwo didn't quit the match, there's till 5 dots in the surrender box

i love how the afk mewtwo is spinning around at the enemy to BM them as if the mewtwo did something LOL

I recently just quit too, the match making is too bad. my big account got banned because I typed the word trash in the chatbox, 2 years of playing, account gone forever, I had everything in that account, everything. and after starting a new account, oh boy, nothing changed, i still carry 2-4 people every game, with items are not even fully leveled up, emblems that are not even close to the best fit, and I still carry. not only people can't help, they make it worse, they walk up get killed, give free exp, instead of a 5v5, its always a 4v6, or 3v7 most of the time, and what do they do? they ping non-stop, and you can't say anything because you get voice banned... this game is fucking ridiculous.

how can you not tilt in these situations pls teach me

Amend spagels prefect video. We all feel the same way. What do you think about taking away 40 to 80 fair play points for afkers?(can't be connection error afk) So that they can't play ranked for a couple of games. To stop them from continuing to troll other games

What timi needs to do is a proper Block button to never get paired with People cursing forever NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY WITH BAD LOSERS.. And look how toxic they are and they got super carried what a nasty fanbase

What does phantom force do?

The beginning of the match was insane. Everybody was upset and pinging like crazy. What happened? 🤣

Great now I wanna go play dragapult

What a piece oooofshhhhappy Halloween!! 😅🥲🥴

OMG FINALLY SOMEONE USING THE SAME DRAGAPULT SET

The way that mewtwo was “ t bagging “ the slow to at the end was just as embarrassing as their afk behavior..someday maybe we will unite and play together as a team.

They are never punished and when you lose a game that's been 4v5 for 8 minutes, you lose the win streak and get -10 instead of 0 But wanna know what's even worse? The other day my 4 teammates surrendered 50 seconds before the end, with our team winning and having donde Rayquaza

6:32 wtf was your ally Mewtwo doing there?

After that match i would instant report such players 😂

We need more requirements to play on ranked. We also need better region pairing. I NEVER get paired with anyone speaking english. I highly doubt my teammates are even from my region. So theres 0 communication. Theres a constant of teammates having Leftovers, Score Shield, Drain Crown, on Gardevoir as an example. The lack of actual knowledge of the game coming from so many players in ranked is crazy. THEN comes the matchmaking over, who thought it was a good idea to pair players using achievement score? If you actual look at it during matchmaking you'll see that the achievement score plays a part in who you're matched with and who you're matched against. Which should NOT be the case. This game is slowly dying out anyway. Half ass balance patches, the worst match making, half ass penalties to players screwing off during ranked matches, and the lack of any recognition to the player base besides a video of the devs rubbing their nipples saying "we're sorry". If it wasn't for me playing on a competitive team I wouldn't play this game.

Im not disapointed in the Mewtwo player, Im disapointed in Spragles. I thought he'd be different from the other youtubers that post negativity. Everyone gets trolls, as evident by the comment section alone. I also had a game with 2 speedster teammates fighting for jungle the entire game!! and never helped objectives!! And I'm not out here bitching about it!! Because that was ONE game with full-on trolls. Every other game that's "bad" is made by "bad plays" not necessarily "bad players". Not all players that make bad plays are bad players. Good players make bad plays, as evident by that one vid where Crisheros was farming at Ray. You need to distinguish bad plays from bad players. And full on trolls are NOT IN EVERY game. So rather than being pissed at EVERY game, and then pissed at the whole game, learn to differenciate trolls from bad plays. And stop being negative ALL THE FRIKING TIME. Not all bad games are made by bad players. But if YOU are CONSTANTLY bitching then you're more of a problem than any bad player out there. By constantly putting blame on others every single game, you are in fact turning yourself into a worse player instead of looking at what YOU could have done better. Why did you lose? Because YOU could have stolen Ray. Because YOU could have scored. Because YOU could have KO'ed them and DIDN'T!! You are not gonna get better at the game by blaming others. Just FYI

He was mashing his A button clearly indicating he was still playing lol

Mewtwo players are the sort to take dump in a urnial sober

I'll bet the reason why Mewtwo players are akfing/griefing now is because they actually have to think about what they're doing instead of mindlessly pressing the A Button constantly to win matches. They're more than likely salty over Mewtwo being hit hard with nerfs, especially Mewtwo Y. To them it was way more fun when Mewtwo (both of them) were absurdly broken and busted.

Raising Canes slander will not be tolerated

Mewtwo Y players are that one person that never ready up.

Did you know spragels that if you click phantom force and click to base no one will see you when you return to base🤫

I have so many problems with mewtwo: 1. The achievment "getting 160 kills with the unite" is absurd cuz i gotta do it for both mewtwos 2. If the other team has a mewtwo and we dont, i know we lost 3. When both teams get mewtwos, im always stuck with the one that doesnt know how to play the game in general 4. They always seem to go AFK for no reason at all, like you didnt just steal one of the strongest characters to play from the team just to sit there 5. I forgot another reason to be mad 😠

If dragapult gets hindrance resistance to its dragon dance, it's over for everyone.

I had an Absol today who basically quit in less than one minute because they weren't allowed to steal the jungle they didn't even claim first. It's insane. But yeah, on average the Mewtwo players are awful. This Pokemon is such an annoying design in Unite, too.

so i got a little confused... the part that made spragels disapointed was in the end ,where after he gave the team a win the mewtwo was being toxic to wigglytuff?

There's a lot of things about this game that made me sad and disappointed. From the fact that you can be destroying the enemy team, only to have them last hit Ray, get that HUGE shield and that speedy scoring. (Even though you can do 99% of the damage yourself.) To the caps on coins, energy and emblem rolls. Speaking of emblem rolls, idk who made that whole system and thought it was a good idea. The more I play this game the more I see those little things that bug me.

one time i had a gengar player so was just running around the map doing nothing, i checked the team voice chat and he was just roleplaying, smh to those a hole players

Wait.... You disabled voice chat and that also disables the pinging???? That's a total game changer if that works

What’s more frustrating is not getting rewarded after winning with an afk teammate

what do we learn from this video: become as cracked at the game as spragels so you can win on your own even with a teammate trying to ruin you😎😎😎😎

this pokemon needs a buff badly

Not the Mewtwo dancing after being AFK and getting carried smh 🤦‍♂️

5:45 really cracks me up🤣 that mewtwo is ridiculous. He needs to be banned for like two weeks at least. This type of players should be able to get away with this

What a piece of killed me. I was like, there is no way!

Pokémon company probably didn’t expect the game to be that popular during mobile release which already put a huge issue of long term players thinking this game would be big

OHMYGODJAKESPLAYINGMYDRAGAPULTBUILD thank you man, I've loved this pokemon recently and it's super underrated. I do think it's slightly unfair to criticize the mewtwo player when the elephant in the room is Unite's shitty matchmaking and rank system that put the mewtwo into your game in the first place

I just wish solo que is solo que only

They should add different game modes too. Would be fun to play Pokemon chess or something.

I feel like the game puts good soloq players like me with trash players together so they can win more I played 1 singular ranked match today and every enemy had 4000+ matches but all of my teammates combined had 1100 matches (I have 6k)

Mewtwo players are the types of people to microwave pizza Mewtwo players are the types of players to wear socks with sandles Mewtwo players are the types of people to bully someone and then act like they're the victim Mewtwo players are the types of people to remind the teacher about homework Mewtwo players are the types of people to buy cheap objects that will slowly ruin their home Mewtwo players are the types of people who will become koraidon / miraidon players bc we all know they're gonna be cracked
