Rocket League Players vs The Rank They Think They Deserve (again)

The beautiful continuation of one of the greatest Rocket League series is here. I thought by now that most people would understand that they are the rank they are for a reason, but we still have cocky players thinking otherwise. Mechanics are not everything, yet every rank has people who can hit crazy shots and now believe they deserve a higher rank. Will the diamonds be able to prove they deserve champ? Let's find out.

[@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

[@emmanuel6604]

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

yeah, tbh a decent c2 could probably 1v2 a d2 duo if they were focussed and warmed up

[@Denileism]

@@rhyspettitt4290 yea I have friends in D2 and it would be close but probably possible to 1v2. I mean I’ve 1v2’d in champ on accident sometimes. They’d still have advantage if they worked together. But 2v2 should be pretty free.

[@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.

[@darenscadlock5614]

I think a lot of it is consistency. When I’m playing well I feel I’m playing around around high diamond low champ. When I’m off, I’m probably around diamond 1. Sure I get bad teammates, but I also get teammates that make me feel godly.

[@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)

[@macgyveriii2818]

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.

[@danielpopielarczyk7352]

amazing video man. keep up the great work. i have watched this channel since lockdown but never really took it to heart, but after this video i will stop blaming my team8's and work on consistency

Mattdog was insane props to him

[@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.

CRAZY AHHHHH BT

[@davidkosiba624]

I am stuck in Gold 3 for some reason but looking at these diamond gameplays I am probably at a similar level usually , I do get matched a lot with plats and diamonds and it is 50/50 who wins so idk why I am stuck at gold 3 tbh , I only play 1on1 in ranked

[@Trulynaeem]

I’m so happy CBells bringing this series back 🙏🏽

[@Z3X1FY]

I used to be super toxic to teammates, but since then ive changed my mentality and instead of blaming them and getting mad I just chill out and relax, and i can actually notice my mistakes.

[@Kareemle]

that's hard for me rn, i'm stuck in plat 3 because my teamates are usually horrendous. (I say usually because every once in a while i do get good tm8's). By the end of the games i have 500-700 points while they have less than 100.

[@ClixityBladeBall]

I can prove it... in silver, can half flip, air dribble (sometimes), wave dash side and forward.

[@Puffa_RLSS]

I remember being s3 and saying i deserved a better rank but my teammates were just ass. I then made a new account and placed p1 and ranked up to p2 and managed to stay there fine.

Reaching c1 just a couple of months ago makes me realize how big the skill gap is between champ and gc

[@emmanuel6604]

its the same between gc and ssl hahaha

[@wazar4501]

these types of videos are great. So many in this community blaims their teammates. I would guesss they never looked at their own gameplay. You get nowhere with a big ego, but you get somewhere if you can learn from your mistakes and play as a team.

[@jaydeward8596]

i hover champ high champ 1 and low champ two at the moment and I can say there is a big difference between diamond 3 and champ 1. however I love playing in champ 2 because most people are pretty consistent and most have really good mechanics.

I don’t think enough has been looked into the struggles of solo queuing. I’d like to see some people that only play in a known team try do only do solo queuing

[@chrimony]

I don't have stats, but I'm guessing most people solo queue.

[@vhwft]

@@chrimony yet most videos people put out are in teams. I think there is a skill difference ( good and bad) between players that play in teams compared to those who solo queue.

[@rhysoulton1785]

@@vhwft its all about the synergy to be honest.. if i play 2's... its exclusively with the same person so we know each others playstyles and abilities.. 3s is harder if we get a random.. because we are used to playing our game and adding a 3rd we arent able to communicate with is rough.. especially if theyre more mechanically minded as opposed to rotational.. but if they stay after game 1 (win or lose) the second is usually far better as we can all adapt and learn from the 1st game. completely solo queing sucks though

[@vhwft]

@@rhysoulton1785 I agree. That is my point. Playing 2 with the same person all the time gives you good team play with each other. But trying to play on your own 100% in 2s and 3s with random teammates while still trying to progress is a different skill set on its own. Trying to identify and compliment your teammates play style as fast as you can each round makes for a truely unique experience

[@waaaafle7134]

It was satisfying seeing the c3 miss the open net

[@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

[@satisfaire]

Leth’s road to SSL series showed that you really dont need top tier mechanics until ur at like GC2 so if you can hit flip resets but ur still plat then you might wanna work on other aspects of ur gameplay

[@Ardaceran112]

Hi cbell keep up the great content 👍🏻

You should do one of these but with players that think they deserve a lower rank than what they have. More uplifting watching some prove to themself that they deserve that rank.

honestly matt dog is the type of plat who is better than anyone else in his lobbies but his teammates make him. lose because they like , steal a play from him or deprive him of boost

[@monarier7200]

No, he is the player who is better than anyone else in his lobby, but he flames his teammates after one little mistake and starts to actively play worse. Worst kind of player, not realizing that in the long run, your teammates play NO role whatsoever in wether your'e gonna climb or not. weak mental

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.

[@edwardseverinsen5598]

Up until very recently I just blamed teammates. I'm in champ and to be fair I'd usually get MVP on my team. However much I felt I was doing I wasn't backing up my teammates properly, being ready for whiffs, etc. Now I plan for the worst case scenario. If you plan for the worst there's not much of an excuse for getting scored on anymore. Total responsibility will change the way you play for the better.

[@PantsofVance]

If you're teammate can't finish goals you're gonna lose. Can't play back all the time and expect to win. Just play goalie in that case.
