[@masonsunderland8126]

Im a c2 div 4 peak(Like 9 times and I cant get into c3 lmao) and I 1v2d my too C1 friends and beat them by a goal. granted I was sweating my ass off and fully warmed up. The difference between C1-C2-and C3 has gotta be some of the most drastic differences in the game tbh.

[@Denileism]

@@masonsunderland8126 Trust me with each rank increase the gap is even bigger. SSL vs gc3, even gc2 vs gc1 is a massive difference. But yea c3 to c2 is also a gap for sure. Also, the tough part is champ contains so many different players, mechanical, game sense, etc. So you can get weird mixes. I'd say in gc though everyone likely has fundamentals and some good mechanics. Definitely gc2 and above.

[@Tech-ye1ul]

Diamond is the wonkiest rank in the game. A lot think it’s plat but in my experience as a perma-diamond it’s the most random rank. Some people can’t hit the ball at all. Some can musty double tap. Some position well. Some have no concept of positioning and possession. I 100% believe up to like 30% of diamonds have the skill to be in champ. To clarify I mean in 3v3s.

[@WindReader]

Ngl Mattdog is clearly as a diamond. His mechanics and game sense are definitely good enough. Like those saves are definitely like what I make. Here’s why I think he’s in plat. He has yet to understand how to play with bad players. Honestly, I struggled with that too, and you either have to learn that, or just find tm8 to queue with instead of solo queuing.

[@OGabrielFaria]

1v1 fixes it by a lot. Now I can at least avoid to get scored even if I'm 2v1ning.

Yes Im Platnium 2 and I think I got the same problem. I just get mad, when I get stupid ball chaser as teamate with iq of 80 who does not even consentrate that well on his plays, while my two opponents are players with good mechanics and smart playing style, so why cant I get teamate like that, when instead I get lazy trash ball chasing teamate who just like to do his freestyle shite, while giving no fock at all of defense and his freestyling shite is so lazy, that he keeps missing the ball and so I say nice shot and wow, while my opponents with their mechanics play well and smart and so can score, when alone I cant defend my goal that well.

[@dennisdegennaro7459]

Yeah, I've solo queued to peak rank of champ 2, you just have to let ballchasers ballchase while you defend and don't overcommit

[@InfiniXCat]

[@evanmico]

As a champ 2 that has played with GC's, I always definitely understand why I'm c2 cause I can just tell how I'm a bit slower in some spots and how I'm just not doing quite as much with the ball as the GC'S. It's really interesting tbh

[@emalontrack]

yesterday i was in 6mans (i dont have a rank in rankeds but i was gc2 some months ago and stoped playin regularly, now only 6mans or fp) and one mate in my team was a c2 that said his peak was like 1360 mmr, and yeah, the bigger thing is positions and decision making, being too passive or just mechs, i dont mean flip resets just like, knowing how to shot properly, we ended up with a win but yeah, you can see the diference between a c3 and a gc2 or just solid gc with c3

[@nicok8203]

gamesense makes them look faster but theyre actually going slower. 12:37 is a nice example. The gcs challenge cause theyre both behind the ball. Doesnt work out so last man is calmly going to wait for his mate to get back. The champ doesnt understand this and tries to go fast, losing the ball. The gc doesnt rush a shot because he has a tough angle and theres a goalie, so he tries to control it (instead of flipping into the ball and ending up upside down in the goal leaving his mate in a 1v2) He fails to control it but because he took it slow, his mate, who also went slow instead of rushing to get boost, is ready and finishes it. And note how the gc who lost the ball is already back before his mate shoots despite being 0 boost

[@nicok8203]

then look at the champs gamesense (not at mechanics or consistancy) 9:40 the champ tries to shoot through 2 defenders and immediately nearly get scored on by diamonds. 9:50 yeebees gets in the way of his mate and doesnt even go back but remains beneath the ball. 9:58 missing boost yet still wasting more of it to challenge while his mate is too far away 10:02 like before but this time Carry me legend gets in the way of his mate with bad rotation 10:12 hard to see what happens before it, but looks like yeebees tried to challenge fast instead of controlling it into the corner 10:30 double commit tho that wouldve happened in gc too, ball was perfectly in between 11:00 throwing the ball away 11:04 going for a demo for no reason while his mate is low boost im gc2 and these things still happen, but not constantly like this

[@nicok8203]

since i started anyway xD gc gamesense mistakes 12:23 dreckls is too late to shoot but still commits with a flip. not too bad tho cause his mate is circling back with full boost 12:30 if it was intended to be a solo play its fine, if its a pass on his mate whos low boost and going back, its bad 13:40 beach goes all the way back when he shouldve applied pressure, resulting in a difficult challenge where he gets launched out of the game. 13:45 dreckls tries to beat the 1v2 with an early challenge. shouldve stalled for his mate who was already almost there

[@wallysan31]

Even in Plat, playing with randoms hurts

[@jacobc9316]

Id be down to do this as Ive always been bouncing between Champ and high Diamond. The thing is, most of these players do not seem cocky or wanting to put others down outside of their messages which might be an attempt to get into the video itself. Most of them were wholesome and worked well (or attempted to) with their tm8. Honestly, looking at it, many of them that complain about tm8s may need to look and see if they can find someone to partner up with more and have some voice comms.... as much as general voice comms in RL are aids, it still helps.

[@kiiturii]

I think a large part of how they were acting here is that they're being recorded and they're in voice comms with their teammate, when they're solo queing they don't think about the other person that's their teammate at all. I'd even bet a large part of why mattdog might not be higher rank is becaue of his tendency to get toxic towards teammates (but that's just speculation)

[@Knav_XD]

I wish too as I'm more then 100% sure I deserve a higher rank it's just that that is all done on NA servers and I am in EU. I hope they do an EU version

A video idea: you should do the same thing you’re doing in this vid but make it a beat out of three so that both teams can try to understand each others play style while also playing and you can still win if ur losing the first game

[@Brick_RL]

Not how it works if you’re solo queueing. Realistically this is how it should be

I deserve a lower rank :/

honestly this vid is the first time i’ve seen CBell’s face and i didn’t expect him to look like that. not in a bad way, was just surprised

[@ElysiumAX]

Normally platinums are nowhere near as good as diamonds but Mattdog was insane

[@RealNaisuCinema]

I knew diamond vs champ was gonna be a letdown for the diamonds because the difference between diamond and champ is bigger than diamonds think. You have to be much more accurate with your shots, faster to the ball, way better at defending those accurate shots. If you deserve champ you’ll easily be able to carry in diamond

[@RealNaisuCinema]

@Clooxi it’s not about how badly you lose it’s about whether or not you lose. Barely not winning doesn’t mean you deserved to win lol. If they barely lose 55% of their games in diamond they won’t hit champ.

[@FlyingParrot225]

As for playing while being recorded, the nerves are real. My high school was a little odd and had an esports club where we would compete with schools in the area, in fact the are thinking of turning it into an actual sport for the school. When going to the matches i always had nerves set in and it reflected in my gameplay (for close matchups they would stream on twitch). Funny part is that when i got home after losing a match id be able to go on a decent win streak in ranked. For the players in this vid to play as well as they did while being recorded, regardless of what their ranks should be, props to them.

[@AkaRetribution]

I never usually blame my teammates, because I know there intentions are good. they want to win just as much as I do but of course we are human and make silly mistakes. So unless my teammate(s) are trying on purpose to throw ..I just blame myself.

[@prestochango9879]

Mattdog was insane props to him

[@keccakec]

This is funny from the perspective of a hoops main. Back when I was champs in hoops, getting GC from other modes or the occasional SSL was WAY more common than getting people who were only champ in other modes. I'm curious how the average diamond hoops main for example would pair against a champ lobby in doubles.

[@oakesclassic6294]

A big issue can be toxicity too which likely isn’t captured as well when these people are paired up for a KZbin video. You can have the skill and knowledge to rank up but if you’re toxic to your teammate then that’s a huge setback.

[@FlightsCanceledOutdoors]

In all honesty there definitely are people who deserve a higher rank, I feel like I’m one of them, never have had a consistent 2s partner and I’ve been in Diamond for 3 years, hit champ once and held it for a while but solo Q in almost every game and get inconsistent teammates

[@scarfacegaming3371]

As a champ, I feel like the biggest jump in skill is from champ to GC (other than learning arials) GC requires a lot more refinement in all areas of gameplay

[@EliLuvsPokemon]

I have 730 hours on Rocket League and if I had any advice for these people it would either be trust the process, work on your training, or find some friends or discord people to play with, that is honestly what helped me get to where I am.

[@ExoticRLShorts]

One thing I should mention is the lower ranked people have champ team mates and not really in a gc or what ever lobby if there team is the same rank as them, what I'm saying is, is that ur just playing 2s with ur champ team in a gc lobby. But the plat had a diamond tm8 and won and maybe if the rest had that they could have won.

[@bark827]

You cant judge the lower ranks preformance off of 1 game, they said it themselves. If u wanna get an accurate rank for them have them 2v2 the rank above not just once but 4 or 3 times and get their win/loss ratio...

[@CamdenNotThePlace]

I truly think me and my duo deserve a higher rank. However the issue with diamond is how unbelievably unbalanced the matches are. You can go from a diamond level game with fast gameplay and good hits from each team and then go to a game where the team are smurfs or have gc tags and you’re wondering why they are in the rank. Also we somehow lose every 50/50😭😭

[@emjayygleghorn9173]

I'm ranked gold 3 in 3's solo queueing and plat 2 in duos, not the greatest of players by a clear country mile but it was painful watching them 2 first gold players 😅

[@gdashers4703]

I peaked diamond but after that, kinda gave up the game and gained new interests

[@rudrapatel9205]

These diamonds kinda suck i wanna see matt dog get better and see if. He can beat the champs lol

[@yojeremyali]

I'm the most efficient D2 but I'll be stuck until my teammates can figure out how to play with me. It's always hit or miss if they can understand my dynamic rotations. I also would never succumb to pressure of being recorded, that's dumb

[@mansongamingz7559]

At the end , I'm the 2th type of person LOL . From the start , I was a bit surprised to see MattDog playing like a diamond 1 player .

[@licence1182]

In my honesty I am a silver 2 and at first i felt like i should have been a bronze but since i have improved and now i feel a little more comfortable in silver, people may think that it's a little low but i recently switched from KBM to Controller and noticed a massive improvement.

[@MQrko13]

Kytocx is gonna hate his teammates even more after this

[@asharkey3]

Theres a pretty easy explanation for why Mattdog is still in plat. The people who think the only reason theyre down is bad teammates 100% throw when they think they have one. Id bet a paycheck its the case with him. Clearly he's a decent player, maybe not Diamond 2, but decent.

[@FreezingPoint32]

I was heart stuck at diamond one and couldn’t really work well with teammates that I couldn’t communicate with because parental controls stop me from using voice chat, so when I played with my other gold three friends who I could call, I got all the way up to diamonds with him

[@nicht_nice]

I love it when i fight my self up to high d2 and then play comp with my gold buddy just to drop out of d2 imediatly😂😂😂

[@mahyar1798]

idk why people think blaming teammates is when you miss or mess something. like when i was air dribbling bro just defends my shot for opponent

[@joshuamurza8005]

Sign me up I'm better than bad gold 2s, I deserve plat for sure. and yes, because of the teammates. Try me cbell. I deserve that rank in plat.

[@andrewwalsh2753]

subbed right away after you got the kid the drone man, that was an awesome move

[@crabbydood933]

I think a better way to compare is not by if they win but if a different person of the same rank as them goes against the higher rank as a control group.

[@spencerrichardson539]

I fully accept the rank I’m currently at. I’m at Gold 2. Yeah, I have bad teammates sometimes, but honestly, I am just inconsistent. Some games I play like a Plat, and some games I play like a bronze 😅

[@gdashers4703]

It's so true though 😭

[@parallax_xix]

A real comparison is the Mattdogg game, using 2 diamond 2's that both think they should be champ against 2 champs isn't a fair comparison imo

[@zaccatron2865]

I’m diamond 2 and I deserve it. I get to high d3 and choke fairly often. Gotta work on my mechanics and rotation timing. Great video

[@tylertwotoms9640]

Diamond to champ 2-3 is a HUGE jump, if youre diamond you have to work on aerials and challenging and proper positioning, also you can no longer be really slow as youll get challenged too fast, you dont need flip resets or crazy high skill moves but you need high consistency and on the backboard very good defense and most of all CLEARS clearing the ball to alleviate pressure is a game changer, if youre stuck in diamond its most certainly not your teammates its an element of the game you are not doing right

[@_JkattGaming_]

I love watching your content and honestly believe my rank isn't accurate either I'm currently gold 2 or 3 this season, but with much respect to those in ur vids I truly deserve a higher rank. I am consistently playing with high Plat and low diamond players just fine. Typically I solo que alot which honestly may be my cause for lower rank

[@danieltojzan6869]

I saw two players in silver with the "SSL Tournament Winner" title. They deserve higher rank, for sure.
