ROAD TO MASTERS PREMIER! Season 9 COMFEY ONLY!

At first I was upset that he started at Ultra 5 but after watching this video... my man is going to suffer enough through this series

[@turquoisemoss5689]

Starting at ultra 5 is nothing basically starting at masters your 1 rank away. Should've just started from the bottom that's way entertaining.

[@weewer3369]

@@alinac5512 not to be too harsh, but Jake really is not great with this mon. He wants people to stop being passive, but he also hangs out on individual targets for way too long, especially when he himself is at full health WITH Aeos Cookie. He can soak up some hits and distract people.

[@kplayer2000]

@Weewer He has aeos cookie to increase the scaling on his shields and healing like he said at the start of the video. Literally every time he got off and took hits he almost got obliterated

[@soulflareon]

@@weewer3369 Comfey has absolutely terrible base stats. Her durability is comparable to a mage or ADC. Even with Aeos Cookie her defenses are paper thin and you can't really soak up hits, especially late game.

I appreiciate you for keepin the matches un-edited, it reminds me of the old road to masters, but I do understand that the reason that the matches last season were edited was for retention so i'm not that upset. love ya jake, Ps you have to try Crit Comfey :)

[@spragels]

Oh wow yes I do

[@Mr_BB_Man]

i love how the first 2 games are just Jake doing mental gymnastics about bots 😂😂

[@Daniel52289]

Right? The first 5 seconds of the first match were telltale bot behavior. The new bots never go bottom lane to open the match. Watching Jake struggle to figure out the first match was a bot match was supreme entertainment for me.

[@jaf6821]

Having comfey on ur team is basically 4 vs 5 with extra potions and some chances of stuns 😔

[@jarokier]

Unsure if Jake realized this yet, haven't watched it fully through yet, just watching the first match now. But when you are in the higher ranks near masters, they for some reason use stronger bots. These bots use some significantly different code and they are quite a lot harder than regular bots. A good way to tell from my experience is players on ranged characters generally don't stop moving when auto-attacking, whereas bots will if they are within range. Players also attack-walk when moving back and bots just run straight back or like before stand still and attack. (edit: Oh and they also will path very weirdly when picking up aeos energy on the ground. This is probably the most noticeable thing of all.) ((Edit edit: Just wanted to laugh at the fake bots account having 7 games played total. xD))

[@bdellovibrioo5242]

I don't think you need to be too worried about Comfey getting buffs during your run. Even if it does, it will still be an incredibly difficult Pokemon to use in full solo queue, and it will be interesting to see how you contribute to matches where your character doesn't give you very much control of the outcome.

[@humourlessjester3584]

This series is like the opposite of a highlight clips reel where instead of watching the best plays you get all the sloppy gameplay outside of that one good play.

[@JorgeGonzalezC10]

This was hilarious!!! Usually in bot games at the begining of the game bots take a while to start walking right? They HAVE to either tell you this is a bot game on the character selection lobby or preferably remove them entirely. Can't tell you how many times I've picked Slowbro, because all bots pick attackers or something, only to realize once the game has begun it's a bot game. Can't promise I'll watch the entirety of this series! I'll watch a funny moments compilation though :)

[@fen_u9401]

holy moly this will be painful if you need a road to master idea thats even more painful I'd suggest road to masters with only no synergy movesets (like stored power, psybeam espeon; sludge bomb, dreameater gengar, hydro pump, water spout blastoise. you get what i'm sayin for now, good luck.🥦

[@starvedrock314]

I have never once encountered a Comfey in ranked who actually knew what they were doing. They're either letting their mates get picked off then running around doing nothing, or sticking on what Mon the whole time, not jumping in bushes so they do zero healing. Every match with one feels like a 4v5. What REALLY kills me is I'm an Elde main and for whatever reason some genius will pick a Comfey even tho I've already picked a healer! One who can actually contribute to a fight, at that! God I wish more Comfey had a clue

[@sonicshadow77]

[@znerd3664]

...ish. Rescue Hood is gonna be a bait item on everyone but comfey. 10% increase to healing/shielding on allies isn't actually very much compared to the items we already have. It's an optimal item pick for comfey but that's it

[@toryplays7776]

Would you rather . . . Comfey to Masters Or PTS to Masters?

Jake: does this challenge 1st game: he's left alone bot by his team Me: so is this the definition of cursed?

[@toryplays7776]

Jake! The reason why you couldn't score while you had points while attatched to an ally sometimes is because you either used a move or were already one at rhat moment!

Comfy is the WORST Pokémon. It’s completely useless and takes up a slot. You’re basically playing 4v5 with a comfy on your team.

[@Professor_Ethical]

If you ever want to confirm a bot game, check if the Lillipup is still alive. If it is, it's 100% a bot game. Bots don't pick lanes nore pokemon before you. If 4 or more allies go top, bot game. If you lose a goal in lane while the enemies first is still up, bot game. They do have a tendency to rotate and meet objectives, but not protect or steal it. Pray the enemy doesn't show up with 2 or more at low objective HP. They wint stop Regieleki if the enemy gets it. They also may jungle, but moreso as an act leaving a living Lillipup 100% of the time. They even steal Lillipup if you keep hitting it. They will also at Ray, just move around it, but never really pursue, unless they are in the direct spawn. I've had to face this BS when I would lose standard and in ranked after de-rank.

This is my same climb to masters. Crappy teammates composed of backcappers, zero-map-awareness players, passive carries, passive defenders, and players who forgot the game is about coming together, to unite. They have their own little world instead. After hitting masters, I think I aged 30 years.

[@sahruvaak_]

The first two matches seems to be those new kind of bots, im not sure what determines when someone gets those kind of bots, but i noticed sometimes i get them in ranked, rarely in standard tho. They have no delay at the beginning like most bots would, they can see you when youre invisible or in grass, and many times theyll have 3 go to the top lane and one go to center even if you called it, unlike the normal bots. And sometimes they have the enemy invade your central. Also they sometimes have profiles you can view. I first started getting these kind of bots on my 6th account when dragapult was released.

[@nimedhel09]

[@lukasmihara]

To be honest, the first two matches were hard to distinguish from real solo/duo-Q games. I don't know what it is this season, but the players seem worse than ever. It's heartbreaking. The matchmaking is all over the place. Most of the time I'm getting to masters in under 50 matches with a winrate of something in the 60% range, but this time I think I'm already at over 100 matches and still not there yet... it's like people turn off their brain when the 2 minute mark is around the corner. It's really just so sad and painful... PS: Nice surprise encounter!

[@kenwayfudo3952]

I have NEVER seen bots act like that.. in masters if you hit a losing streak and youre out below 1400 youll get a chance to hit a bot match. And its the full no picked lanes, stutter start, stand in middle of goal to score etc. Etc. My only guess is theres a special kinda bot mstch for returning players or something and youll play with REAL people but against bots but ohhh my... 4 top lane.. smh not even bots would do that lmao. Ntm bots dont really aim for ray at the end of the game and the fact that your team did and the opposing team didnt supports this theory

[@Omar.O.M]

Well that's weird.. According to UniteAPI the first two matches were bot matches. I know a bunch of characteristics for bots, but they didn't act like that in your games. Seems they did re-design them as you said.

[@furybugs]

I wish they would just TELL you when it's a bot match, so at least you can pick a carry. I'm a supporter main and I hate bot matches, it feels like they're designed to discourage supporters

[@cristianalarcon9071]

The third match is interesting to watch, your trio was awful... they weren't using good items, nobody farmed anything and their decision making was questionable, and somehow they have over 60% winrate xD which clearly they don't deserve but their opponents tend to be even worse when on ultra, we need a more strict ranked system Nowadays, getting into masters is finishing a tutorial in which you learn to do what you shouldn't be doing, and then we wonder why people are so bad in solo queue

I hate when ur team picks 2 speedsters or picks talon or absol when someone already opted for a carry like deci or greyninja like ppl don't know what a lane pokemon is so they jst end up picking heavily exp relient pokemons like zeraora or zoroark and then proceed to do 30K dmg like bruh, and you can't even pick a carry pokemon since sumone else already picked it and you jst know he doesn't know how to carry at all so u end up picking a defender giving ur best and still end up loosing.

@@MonochromeChara they said in posts you are not allowed to score double in the last minute so peopel can't instascore 200 on a forward zone. So maybe it works on the final zone and not the forward/mid ones?

you were absolutely in a bot game in the first match, as proven by the profile you checked after the match with 7 games played...7 games wouldn't even get you close to ultra rank from beginner, and they also wouldn't be able to queue with an ultra ranked friend because you can't be that far behind someone in rank and queue up with them, it doesn't let you. sometimes bot games sneakily throw checkable profiles into the postgame lobby, but it's easy to tell from the gameplay that you're in a bot game no matter what weirdness they pull. hope this helps!
