Dear Platinums, I was wrong... (im sorry)

Dear Rocket League platinum players, I am so sorry. I was completely wrong. I used to always call platinum the worst rank in Rocket League. From now on, I promise to no longer do that. I had an experience that made me rethink everything I know about platinum as a rank. Today, I share my story of that experience that changed my perspective completely.

For the longest time, I have always called platinum the worst rank in Rocket League. Today, that changes. This is the story of the single game that changed my perspective on platinum as a rank entirely. I am truly sorry for everything negative I have said about platinum as a rank in the past. I thought I knew what you all were going through and that all of your claims for false, but I was wrong. I hope you will forgive me.
Even though it's already blatantly obvious, I would like to clarify that this entire video is satire. Please don't take anything too seriously. Thanks for watching!

Yes its like he anyway got to champion in the long term. Its just that in some games your teamates can be so unbelivebly terrible, that you have no chance to win matter how good you are and then after regonizing your teamates are terrible. You start playing the passive gameplay tactic of defending goal all time, until you get counter attack and so you can push to try score, but them your teamates are even more annoying, when they as terrible players copy the same tactic, when they should be better and not copy you, if you are better, than them, when it just increase your loosing chance, so its sad how terrible mechanics and terrible brains they literally got. Its that maybe some players never improve in mechanics, when their brains are just so terrible, while some players got very good rotation, but bad mechanics, when got big brains, but still not put enough hours into the game to become better with mechanics, but thats why they so high rank early, because simpy their brain rotation, while lack the mechanics that they will get over time, but these certain players got way too small iq and so I dont think theit mechanics ever improve, when its just so stupid and mindless rotation from them. If you better, than the average player in the lobby. Overall in the long term of playing you should improve your rank, while some games your teamates can be so terrible and opponents so good that you got no chance to win the game, but its okay, when you still get mechanical experience anyway from the game, so to next games you have better mechanics and larger chance to rise up rank, but Rocket League is just playing a lot games and, if you better, than average you should rank up, but you will not always, when sometimes its simply being unlucky, but the game has the same chances for making you great teamates and make the opponets have terrible mindless players, that got terrible mechanics and terrible brains to play the game.

I'm diamond in 2v2s and plat in 3v3, I can say, this is accurate. I had a game a while back where we were 1-4. We had one lucky goal at a kickoff but all goals against us were mistakes from all of us. Suddenly one teammate leaves and me and my other teammate completely turn it around to 4-4 and won in overtime. Sometimes 2 bad players is better than 3 bad players.

Just got out of Plat in 2s. And was soloqueing 3s in Plat yesterday. The amount of times I looked up and saw both of my teammates aerialing for a ball that wasn't event scoreable is beyond me. I know for a fact that if I hadn't developed a brain in 2s, there would've been 3 of us up for it.

I agree with @thunderstorm that not all aerials need to be shots. People need to open their mind up more to the idea of passing plays, it is a team game after all. Does that mean that the aerials that the original comment was referring to are passes? No. They probably weren’t. But there is obviously a barrier in communication and it is difficult to tell the intentions of your teammates, so just stop finding faults and start finding opportunities. Some of my favorite games are the ones where I don’t constantly second guess my teammates and instead just go for what is available, and usually that is a better way of adapting to a new kind of playstyle than to insist that everyone plays in a way that makes sense to you.

In my experience I've realised that most RL players are not into soccer/football at all and dont understand that you need a goalie as much as a striker... and that you cant have 2 men on the ball.. and so on..

I myself will curse my teammates, of course, but I also realise, there is a reason why I am there teammate, I am platinum also and therefore just as bad as they are.

Dear Wayton, Hearing what you thought of me and my fellow Platinums truly hurt something deep inside my heart.

However, after some deep thought, I've managed to accept what you have said and have started to focus on the better parts of myself. What you said has started a journey of personal growth, and I have learned a lot about life and how to make things better for myself and others around me. For this, I do not accept your apology.

I remember feeling the exact same way. Originally, I blamed my teammates because I would constantly get bad teammates while the other team passes as if there in champion. However, once I actually trained my mechanics and positioning I went on a 12 game win streak from plat 2 to d1. The sad truth that I learned back then is that if you wanna get out of a rank you gotta be better than everyone there. I'm c1 now.

[@WesManGuitar]

I'm GC1 and I've been smurfing in plat since I was probably C1-C2 because that's where I practice my mechanics. Me and my doubles partner ff and give wins to everyone who stays to play against us. I'm much more of a mental/rotation-minded player and not mechanical whatsoever for my rank, so it helps me to put mechanics to the test that I practice in training because if I can land it on plats, then I'm ready to try it against GCs. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with it. I can practice against real people and get better in the process, and they get a free win. And if someone goes afk or leaves the match, we instantly ff to give the other person the dub. Plat has got to be the most toxic rank there is (champ 2 is a *close* 2nd) and I honestly just don't feel bad for them because it's so easy to get out of it once you learn to pass the ball and watch enemy cars. If you disagree or hate me, please respond telling me why.

[@jeffc9840]

There’s one thing missing in these plat vids: The fact that you’re always being challenged at this level. Even if it’s not a smart time for your opponent to challenge, they do anyway, which results in a 50/50 or them hitting your car. Makes it very difficult to get good, intentional touches. This constant pressure makes it really tough to pass or control the ball, so basically everyone booms the ball away when they get the chance. Often goals are a result of the ball ping-ponging around the net until someone knocks it in.

[@Zel-Veraan]

Not to mention your own teammates dunking on you.

[@TheEmolano]

Yep, those matches are really frustrating, just ping pong the ball until someone opens the net and the game ends in 1-0.

[@stebermon9648]

In my experience as a plat. The games are interesting as you get games where your teammates are not bad and games where you get teammates like wayton's. Also you do end up with a lot of high ranked smurfs in plat making it also harder. Half my games I wonder how my teammates can't even hit the ball while the other half I can't get my teammates to stop hitting the ball. I do however think I am not stuck in plat. Wayton is right mechanics don't matter to an extent. I watched wayton's stream of him playing with the piano, and I will say his mechanics even with piano were better than plat players just saying...

[@compszn]

i got out of plat by hitting nutty stuff and going backpost because i like to hit clips

[@iverson7x]

I was stuck in platinum for like a year. Would consistently get to plat 3 and get stuck. The way I got out of it was (1) training enough to be consistent with open shots from different angles and (2) learning to hit or clear the ball off the wall. I don’t mean shooting the wall hits into the net either; I mean hitting them just enough to either stop/slow a drive from the opponent, or to help push a clear from a tm8 further out. Good luck!

[@christiantaylor1495]

mrknapkin says mechanics do matter in plat and he said it should be the priority

[@tophmyster]

@@christiantaylor1495 Yeah, basic mechanics. As in, learn how to control the ball, and hit the ball *how* you want and *where* you want. Basic aerials involving getting to the ball fast and putting it where you want it. Plus learning how to move aorund the field effeiciently (recovers, wave dash, etc.) NOT mechanics in the sense most people mean, i.e. double taps, resets, ceiling shots, flicks, air roll, etc. Mechanics are absolutely a priority, but once you feel confident in your basic control of the ball, it's 90% game sense and decision making that will get you up to champ.

This kind of play really irritates me. Team mates who are never in position to take passes, always chasing after the ball in the most impractical of places, never actually doing anything with the ball when they have it, slamming into me while I have a good shot, freaking out and letting in easily saveable goals... Sometimes there's really not much you can do. I tend to play more passively if I have chaser team mates, but even then at times, I can't do shit if my team mates are behaving unpredictably. I never know when to go for the ball sometimes because, even though my team mate looks like they're going back, there's no guessing whether or not they're just gonna suddenly turn around again and go for a shit play. Cannot deal! And this is in Diamond! Anyway, rant over. Love your videos, Wayton. The narrative-style of them keeps me engaged. I literally threw my ams in the air when you just missed that 0-second shot. Just realised I wasn't subscribed so gone ahead and done that. Looking forward to your others!

The "teammate theory" is spot on... However, it's not just Plat. It's in Gold as well. I am a solo queue, regularly. I am an older guy who started playing for my son (he no longer plays, but I am addicted). Therefore (being older) I have no friends who play regularly and have to depend on random teammates. If I push up, they let the other team score. If I hang back, they ball chase in random corners (with no scoring). Super frustrating. I want to get better and rank up. But there is no help being a solo player.

Two or three seasons ago I decided to take Ranked a little more seriously and started a bit of a grind to move beyond plat. I had been watching Lethamyr, CBell, and Sunless a lot and had picked up on many things concerning smart Rocket League as opposed to mechanical RL. Spent a whole evening queuing twos, just to end up only a division above where I started, practically in tears, saying "God almighty, you know I don't belong with these people, this is terrible". Ended up getting to champ a week later. Many streamers and KZbinrs love to say it's not about teammates, but it really can be, plus having a bad day is killer.

[@clowdyathv1916]

I am a platinum 1 and I agree with this video's conclusion. I used to be in D2, but ever since my teammate left me, its been all down hill with randoms. And no, my not random tm8 didnt carry me, we 1v1ed as a part of our warmup and I beat him almost every time. We both did deserve our rank, but he quit to move onto an fps game. I hate platinum, and its official. I started to main 1's since it doesnt depend on tm8's skill as much.

[@normal_kid8274]

I can’t get over WaytonOnDaKeys😂

[@eggsforpedro]

A couple of things: 1) Your opinion about ranking up is a bit distorted because you're on a new account with a high sigma value, which means you will rank up very quickly when winstreaking. For 'normal' plats, it takes a lot more wins because their sigma value is already settled. 2) Yes, if you are patient and position well, you will eventually get out of plat. 3) However, you must be willing to play passively and defensively. Most of the time this is pretty boring and not very fun. You're sacrificing fun gameplay for purely winning. Not to mention you need a high tolerance level for dumb teammates. When solo queing, you need to be quite a bit better than the rank you are currently at (either mechanically or positionally) to actually grind out of it, just because of teammates who are actually stuck at that rank.

[@ejax1457]

I relate to 3 on a spiritual level

[@EthanTate44]

When your rank is settled you still get ~ +10 MMR per win. His point is not that it’s not okay to be in plat. It’s just that it’s the worst rank. “Anyone with half a brain would get out of it.” If you really think it’s such a sacrifice of “fun” to position well and play defense then that’s why you’re stuck in diamond/plat.

[@JustSaiyajin]

Lmao well edited. This was hilarious

[@fauzanaziz6365]

Even though diamond is the middle of all ranks, platinum is what I would consider the "interim period" Players start developing their own styles of play, whether to focus more on mechanics or strategy. Though it's pretty much redundant to do so since once you reach diamond, you'll have to start focusing on the one you didn't back in plat.

[@zelow5833]

There was this one time i got a good tm8 after a few bad tm8s and he was good at passing, rotations, and playing as a team and me and him ended up ranking up from plat 3 to diamond 2 without a loss. I had been stuck in plat 2 and 3 for about 3 weeks

[@TheHoff757]

This isn't a plat curse. This is a placement match curse. Bot teammates, toxic teammates, afk teammates, smurf opponents... This also applies to matches where a win would mean a rank up.

[@Jaxznyy98]

I have made an experiment where I played on a brand new account 10 placements and in 4 of the games I was against a party/team of smurfs, or my team mates did not simply "have a brain" quoting Wayton. They go for challenges, aerials, boost!! without thinking of the consequences, tunnel visioning on showing off their mechanics or just ballchasing like its freeplay. It is very rare to find a team mate who actually understands the basics of the game! Once you get them on the team though, it is instantly noticable and even lost games but with a good team feel good, as we feel like we performed well but still can look at what to improve on. Whereas in an unfair matchup that is impossible due to the variables.

THIS VIDEO EXACTLY, Plat 1 here struggling to get out and this video summarizes it perfectly. You can play everything seemingly perfectly (positioning wise not mechanic wise i'm not gonna pretend I can triple reset) and STILL lose because of bad teammates. As a soloq'er, It really feels like a roll of the dice for teammates whether you win or not. My hypothesis is that it's this way because Plat is the "base" rank everyone starts in, at 600mmr. After my first 10 placement games I calibrated as a Plat 1 and then lost games all the way down to gold 2. I lost these games because I was simply new, bad and threw. Afterwards I got better, learning about positioning and improving my mechanics. I developed a brain to claw my way back to platinum. Herein lies the problem as your teammates could either be learned players who climbed their way out of lower ranks or complete newbies who're actually worse than bots (yea Smurfs exist too but they won't be as common as the prior 2 groups). Because of this, it honestly feels like you need to either be extremely lucky to get out of plat or ascended enough to 1v5 the lobby and win.

Have about 300 hours on the game. Started in 3's and got stuck in low plat, that's when I migrated to 2s and found that mitigating 1 bad team mates mistakes was much easier than 2. I found myself then rotating much better around the play because I was mega aware of my team mate and their positioning. After struggling for about a week getting used to 2s play style I started blasting through plat and made it to Diamond where the speed killed me a little. Rotations weren't enough, my decision making needed to be faster. This only comes with time. So I Played for a few more weeks climbing through Diamond and eventually to C2. My decision making now is no longer the issue, my mechanics and my ability to be consistent is. Each rank comes with a new challenge. To rank up you need to identify the challenge and work on it in your games all the time. I've now returned to 3s and found myself ranking up easily through Diamond and just popped through the C1. For someone who never plays games on controller and is usually KBM I've gotta say I'm surprised at my own progress and if I can do it y'all can too.
