I would say that #2 isn't necessarily confirmed because your reaction times may have been slightly different so the distance is well within the margin of error.

[@orangedeveloper7994]

That's what I was thinking

[@yearntolearntech2800]

To answer said boost is slightly more than twelve with a more technical explanation: this I believe is due to float point numbers being assigned and calculated by the cpu. Cpu has finite amount of resources available. And yet dividing 100/12 you yield an infinite 8.3333 with the 3 repeating so cpus use floating point numbers to calculate to the nearest representative state. At least this is my best guess.

#6 Actually true, because you get teammates that are close to deranking but still in the rank youd get if you win (means they just have a rough time at that moment). BUT the opposing team is most of the time in the same situation which just results in a bad game. Every time in my case (even when i win in the end, its always a weird game)

Some of these would be (extra) interesting with large sample size comparisons. Like do 200 matches alternating quiet vs. quickchatting a lot and look at points/goals/shots etc for you and your teammates.

[@aestheticcorsa3377]

But none of them would lead to fact considering quick chat doesn't change how the game plays, it's literally rng or pulled down to the smaller factor of maybe winning an extra game here and there because you made the opponent play trash or try to hard.

Why didn’t they redo the air rolling makes you faster cuz Striped started out with less than 100 boost so Wayton probs had more, that’s why he went farther. And then he counted it as busted anyways? Just odd

[@too-bright]

myth 1 i can fully agree on. I am Champ 3 and play with my D3 friend in 2s. Every game we play is against two other champ 3s unless they are partied up. If they are partied up it seems like it might be more balanced with a champ 3 and a champ 1 or something. But if you are playing 2 randoms they will be the highest rank if not higher to balance it. I have ran into GCs while playing with a D3 and thats just dumb

[@redlinegaming3612]

Actually I have already seen evidence on dozens of occasions that your ranked teammates AND opponents are not chosen by mmr but rather superseded by similarities in usernames. For instance if I have a username that's a fruit like "banana" I will end up with someone on the field who has the name of another food like "bread" maker. This proves true with names of famous people, ideology, geological places etc. And yes, when you are about to rank up a tier you are placed with a mate that is on a losing streak or has lower mmr than you and the opponents. You can confirm this in TRN.

[@illTeK23]

Interesting! Had similar toughts about the names but its really true? ^^

[@marcxb1953]

Wait... demo backward at 9:22.... how to you boost in reverse?

[@ohw_lll]

backsmode

[@Adisypher]

The reason boosting while supersonic is faster is that supersonic is not max speed. theres a tiny bit of speed increase when you hit supersonic so you don't need to hold boost, but boosting for a second after going supersonic will result in faster speed (however negligible that speed is)

[@JCHammer]

Boost is actually 0-255 it just displays as 0-100 so it has to deal with the rounding. Tldr coding is weird

[@pseudoiq2039]

4:53 striped says you move quicker in the air based on where your nose is pointed. Then shows a rocket science video proving it. Then the next myth is about moving quicker in the air if you hold accelerate and says it's false... What? You do move quicker in the air if you hold accelerate, you proved it already, but you and wayton where both boosting to start and were supersonic/top speed so you landed pretty much next to each other because you couldn't go any faster

For the duo queue one it will put you against a party that is similar spread but against soloq players they will both normally be at the higher players level but it will extend the search range lower rather than up the longer the queue takes...

[@squaresarerectangles6294]

The age one actually kind of makes sense. While it may not be 100% true, usually kids under 13 don't have quite as much time to play, or their parents don't let them. Once you get to teen and college ages you start doing like whatever you want, and in your 20's living away from your childhood home. This makes it so that they can practice more, and because of that they get better.

How the matchmaking works is simple, if you are in a party with a lower-ranked player the matchmaker will prioritize other parties that has a player around you're mmr and one with a lower one. If the game doesn't find a party that is suitable, it will put you in a game with two players that are on you're mmr.

[@ctvaughan6623]

Bruh. At 5:08 you said that even when you were in the air holding forwards makes you a little bit faster then in the next myth you said it didn’t.

[@baggelissonic]

When partying with players of different ranks there is a higher chance that you are put up against teams of similar composition. For example, if there is a gold and a diamond playing 2v2 there is a higher chance that their opponents will also be a mixed ranked team.

i do believe in "Quick chatting makes you win". Only if you are positive, of course. Boosting the confidence of your teammates when they do good saves or shots actually makes a difference.

The small margin of boosting while supersonic is 100% the margin that was made by human error. Its near impossible to make you two start at the EXACT same time.

[@bestmirapro7672]

11:09 I think age is a factor to be better, because up untill 20s your brain is still developing, so it is like a line that starts in 0 when you are 0 years old, and as years go on, the line will go up as your brain develops, then after you turn 20 it will slowly start going down as your brain starts lowering it's capabilities of couse some people's skill lines at 10 years old will be higher than other 10 years old skill lines, so it is a factor that does not define your skill but has some effects on it. thats how I see it :)

Fall faster with nose pointed down: Not technically correct (Even after their correction). This only holds true if you are holding the accelerator while pointing down. If you have your nose pointing up and hold the reverse, you would fall just as fast or close to it. I can't say for certain that the acceleration forwards and in reverse have the same strength while in the air. You can observe this the same way the video shows the player moving forward while horizontal. Try it in reverse and be amazed.
