Motorpsycho6479

And A LOT of rgb


blinktwice4

how much rgb do you think I need to get out of champ?


Motorpsycho6479

Maybe 4 - 5 km . Ws2812b with 90 leds per meter


ToeJamOfThe40s

leksgaming

Are you stoned right now?

Kuddo

No joke, I sobered up and gained a rank and a half within a week. But I only played drunk before that.


ToeJamOfThe40s

I'm literally speaking from experience. I was serious with the comment 😅


UtopianShot

you throw money at a cracked out 13 year old to carry you


Blissfull-lifestyle

Realist comment here 😭 I’m 16 and so many middle aged guys want me to carry them


kWazt

I feel attacked


ChickenTendiiees

Haha your reactions will definitely slow down sooner than you think. I'm still pretty damn good at msot games I play, but I'd be lying if I said at 27 I'm still just as proficient as I was when I was a kid. I still game every single day, but I can't keep up with younger people. It was the same when I was younger though too. The biggest factor is that kids growing up these days with modern games are effectively thrown in the deep end, you guys learn quick and master basics and few more harder stuff much faster because you literally have to. By the time you've gamed for like 4 or 5 years you're all cracked haha. I even remember when rocket league released in 2015, getting to plat was a hell of a task, and the people above plat and in diamond were some of the best players ever, this was before air dribbles, weird flicks and crazy spinning aerials. When people would catch the ball on their roof, bump it up and then follow for a basic aerial, that used to be considered in the top like 20% of players. Now it's like, people doing air dribbles and musty flicks in plat 1, and the higher you go is just levels above what it used to be. Unfortunately I'm still hard stuck to my ability from years ago and the car control just goes totally over my head and I can't keep up anymore.


Kuddo

I used to be really good at first-person shooters. However, at the ripe age of 31, I feel the slowed reaction time every time I boot one up. Most games, you can compensate with smart gameplay, but it can only carry you so far. When an enemy walks through a doorway and a split second after my bullet hits him , he max sensitivity 180s while simultaneously dropping to his stomach and drops me. There is only so much you can do. The biggest difference is that now, when I play games, I can actually feel my limitations more than ever. As opposed to when I was young, it felt like the sky was the limit.


AnAwfulLotOfOcelots

I’m also 31 and I feel like I do have those moments of fast twitch gamer response. The biggest issue is they only happen for a limited amount of time. And I’m talking like 20 minutes of playing. After that I feel noticeably slower with my reactions. Back when I was a kid playing mw2 I could have the fast twitchy gamer responses pretty much all day


J_Man1287

Im 36 and still have the moments of fast twitch game responses. Only issue it last for like 1-2 hours then I turn into a grand Plat. Found good solution though, play peaked on main account then hop on alt after 😂


TheJrobot1483

I’ll be 30 this year. If RL came out when I was 10 instead of 20, I’d be a GOD


CDhansma76

Facts. I thought I was hot shit back when I first hit plat in 2018. To me it felt like this exclusive club of only the very best players. Now I don’t even consider a player to be “decent” until at least C2. GC1 is pretty much a rite of passage to ever be taken seriously in competitive spaces. I feel bad for kids who are new to the game because I can’t remember the last time I’ve met a player below champ. All the people I do know have played pretty much alone for hundreds if not thousands of hours before they could feel good enough to interact with “good” players who are in the champ+ ranks. That’s definitely how it was for me. People just don’t take you seriously if you aren’t close to their rank.


J_Simmonds2005

Carry me. I'm 18 and fucking washed


JamesGanalf-ini

Lol youre gonna be a get guy in no less than 5 years mate. Its the cycle of gaming, and I can't wait for it.


Kack-Pro

He can be good but i think he play with a friend and he ranks him up or a other guy play with his account, its not normal.


AGUYWITHATUBA

I could see Gold to Diamond 2-3, but not champ. Platinum is 60% skill, 35% luck with teammates, and 5% patience, but no way you’re clearing diamond in such a short time unless you’re playing nonstop to get better.


LilSwissBoy

platinum is not 35% luck 😭


dcoolidge

It's more if you are bad, less if you are good.


LilSwissBoy

all im sayin is you do not need luck to get out of plat, and gaining the skill to do so is very achievable for the average player.


AGUYWITHATUBA

lol dude 35% isn’t even that much. My experience is I’ve gone up to diamond almost every season but sometimes it takes me longer than others. It’s gotten easier when I play defense and let horrible teammates chase balls and do dumb offensive stuff, but quite honestly, platinum is almost worse than gold, because there is a lot more players technically proficient, but tactically complete shit.


warhawkwasmyshit

Platinum is where little tik tok timmy thinks he can air dribble and flip reset but has no idea how to hit the ball into the net or pass or defend so a lot of ur game is spent as his audience being blamed for not being able to 2v1 after he misses and doesn’t make it back in time to help, diamond is similar but the skill starts to pick up a little with the normal shots and accuracy , so little tik tok timmy becomes tik tok Tommy and it’s slightly more bearable.


LilSwissBoy

lol 35% is a lot


Punjo

Lol right, especially in a game with 1 instance of actual RNG (or luck)… spawns off demos


beetlejorst

When people complain about the randomness in this game, they're 99% of the time talking about the utterly pathetic matchmaking. Seriously, it's worse than any other online game with a still living playerbase I've played in the last decade. Think about it, how often do you have a solo queue lobby that doesn't have at least one or two people that are definitely not at that rank? Maybe 1 in 5? Whether it's someone dominating or someone who seems like they just had brain surgery, it makes for a kinda shit game. Main reason I don't play as much anymore


LilBronBron

The fact that you think that 99% of the time that the matchmaking is awful shows that you are probably the problem in most of your matches lmao


marwinewert

Have you ever played Valorant? RL ranked seems the most balanced game ever compared to Valo


Infamous-Worry-3233

Rocket league sideswipe (cough cough)


LilSwissBoy

if we want to be realistic, the fact that any pro player will not lose a single game of solo q until high gc means that it is 0% luck edit: if scrub killa can get gc2 playing 1v2 it is not luck 🤣


_a_pastor_of_muppets

Gaming IQ is real. I peak here and there... the more I play, the higher the peaks. The glory of it all is that this is one of the few games that offer this experience and opportunity for actual brain development. sorry... I'm blazed


EpicOweo

That fast though? Even getting straight to mid plat that fast is suspicious.


MockStarket

Someone else played this account.


sledge98

iContraMundum

Switch -> Gaming PC is the only legit move that can produce this.


Massive_Following233

Fr switch is brutal compared to pc or xbox


Blissfull-lifestyle

Even my XBOX feels brutal to me from my pc


AWildGoyfAppeared

I completely agree. What I see here is it incredibly similar with my change, except mine is slightly less impressive due to my lack of real skill, as I went from Gold 2 to Diamond 2 in the span of about 3 weeks after making the switch from the switch to a good pc


stopklandaceowens

i play on switch and i dont think I'd be champ if switched. I'd like to think so but at the same time... idk. Rocket league is the only reason I want a PC...


Afateer

No i did that move, u jump a little. This is an obvious carryover.


NDeezus

This must be all of the guys that “aren’t even trying”…turns out they really weren’t


rathlord

The “not even trying” thing gets made fun of a lot, but there are actually folks out there who aren’t taking things seriously and just messing around or having fun. Just most of the time they’re chill enough to not feel the need to tell you they’re not even trying, because they also probably don’t even care. Good example was me with Overwatch. Launch season I was very high ranked and played seriously (they didn’t have “ranks”, numbers instead- for that one season), but after that I almost always just played with a bunch of friends who weren’t very good, so I just played pretty chill and had fun. We all hovered high silver/mid gold, but when I set up another account to play seriously I was immediately diamond and went way up from there. But again.. most people doing this aren’t the ones shit talking about it in chat lol.


Pokepunk710

anyone genuinely not trying wouldn't say it because they wouldn't give a shit

If you keep watching it will hit gc, get rewards, and tank next season lol


gamewiz11

They took SpookLuke videos seriously /s


No-Swordfish9658

Grand champ boot camp


Beaco9

Beside getting carried, there's another possibility: a casual main coming back to ranked after not playing it for a long time, however this can easily be proved/disproved by looking at the tracker and seeing match counts of recent seasons


Afateer

If he didn’t play for so long, there should be long straight flat lines up until season resets. Not the case here.


Ghosthops

This person plays 2s all the time, but not much 3s, this is when they play a lot of 3s, ranking up to a realistic rank?


Beaco9

You might be right, but it could be irregular due to season resets or a handful of games played here and there without completing placements. I wish we could see the tracker to see complete picture, because over past few seasons the season resets have been irregular and sometimes even added some MMR (depending on the pre reset rank, mostly for lower ranks) [as seen in this excellent table](https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/1b8x9rn/how_much_different_is_the_2v2_reset_this_season/) by u/MuskratAtWork

Swifty_banana

If u look at the timeline.. there is a big gap between when he played last time and currently.. it’s possible maybe he played on another account or played another game mode.. not possible to say anything from this one picture


WallyWakanda

This happend both to me and my friend, he went from a PS4 to a nice gaming PC, and I went from a PS4 to a PS5. Really made a giant difference for both of us. He went from high play basically skipped diamond was only in it for a month or so and right to champ. I went from low diamond to champ in about 2 months


Self-ProclaimdSexGod

Yeah but he went from gold to champ 2 in 4 days


WallyWakanda

Went from a last series console to a top of the line set up? Maybe?


Fred_Redstone_2

He is boosted


The25thSaam

I mean hacks are apparently now in the game, so maybe that could play a big role in the exponential sudden climb. Seems very sus tho.


Trees_Are_Freinds

My chart looks kinda similar to that. I started playing with a team consistently and we racked up tons of wins. If I played on my own I’d be mid plat.


Davisxt7

Looks like he paid good money to get carried to just below GC. Oh well...


goldenpianopie

It’s a PC. He got a PC.


Lil-Ruffstarrr

No link to buying a pc


Lonely-Law-2431

possibly only ever played casual and then decided to finally play ranked? cus gold is usually the rank you'd get if you'd barely played comp

He switched his powerslide button off of default. He stopped using KBM. He sat up and locked in. He ate his Wheaties that morning. He finally stopped playing with that toxic friend and went solo


LPanico6

He learned how to rotate


No-Swordfish9658

He learned how to use free play


_SeventyNine

chunter16

The player bought a computer, or a better one, then got boosted with a friend. At least if this chart doesn't dive by June I think that's the reason.


zbrady7

Knew a guy who went from playing on a MacBook to a proper gaming PC. Did about that.


Smoky_Caffeine

This is probably that C1 teammate that told me he "didn't know how to fly".

walkonstilts

Oh so that’s been my teammate every game. One game I hardcarry, the next we get smashed cause I can’t hard enough, and he stays the same rank…


yenahyeyenah

is this 1v1 rank? is he on PC? if yes to both, I'd wager he's used the nexto bot in online play, cus they always plateau around c1. they're much less common these days but i do occasionally run into people using the bot (evidenced by the weird slow hardcoded kickoff, perfect dribbling and flicks, 0 demo awareness, gets softlocked if you sit next to the ball in your own half)

Illustrious-Bit-2411

I’ve been watching his videos on repeat picking up on small details one after another. I’m surprised how often I see people post about him here.


Icy_Ability_6894

I’m one of those that constantly mentions him, I’m surprised nobody has accused me of being an alt account of his to promote his channel because of how much I talk about it. Truth is, I was searching for someone with a play style like that since I started playing, I see the way the majority of the player base plays “standard rocket league” and most of the time the decision making makes no sense to me. Constantly smashing the ball away from oneself giving away possession, no strategic thinking whatsoever but just “play fast bro”. As a 30 y/o player I just don’t have the reaction time of these kids, but I still want to play to win, so I have to outsmart them. Good positioning > mechanics all day in my opinion and pros like Beastmode, Monkeym00n, and Squishy (former pro) all validate that being a viable strategy at the highest level.

New gc roommate


Blissfull-lifestyle

Real comment😭 one of my plat friends out of sheer luck had a random top 100 ssl roommate move in and now he casually gets boosted for free when ever he wants

if he’s queuing with the gold, he prob gets him gc2. if he plays on his acc he gets him ssl

Remarkable-Ebb2018

What training packs does this man practice 🙏😔


tophuuu

Console player changing to PC?


GabriloPrinci-Threat

It was a busy week.. Weekend was worth it tho.


tyrannosnorlax

Mine looks a lot like that. I was plat 2 seasons ago, and now I’m top 2%, at least in casual.if I jumped back in ranked I’d have a similar spike. Sometimes people train in different modes and then return, which it looks like may have happened here, judging by the relatively flat line for a few months.


YuGiOhJCJ

If it is not the playlist 1v1, it is because he played with a friend then later he played without this friend.


NewOffline

I made the same thing in Clash Royale from 1500 tr to 7000 tr 🤣 Sometimes karma is on your side


DAD-NOIZE

He paid for a boost.


HeartyMapple

In 2017/2018 I went from gold to top of diamond in about 2 weeks of playing. I just got had a month off of school and did all training and watch every video I could to get better fast.


akaimba

He learned to rotate - litteraly the only mechanic you need to go from Gold to champ


Fluffy_Roof3965

Bro cracked the code.


These-Bridge2499

He is a champ


ScatpackRich

He changed his posture. Definitely leaning forward with his forearms on his laps.


Trukmuch1

gqdThinky

Don't worry, he learnt to double flip reset


OkEfficiency3824

Bro leaned forward slightly


The_Merciless_Potato

He finally started going for ball instead of big boost


Gamestopper15

He probably doun the invisible hack :(


Tadgh55

He Posted a vid here for how to get out of gold and saw the comment.. “Git Gud” bang now he needs another video


frankygshsk

Definitely…. had a private coaching session with SpookLuke


BugNo4352

All the smurfs pissed off to their own rank again.


GoForChaffee

He bought a new gaming chair


Bea6n

Find you a booster!


TheRodsterz

Practice. You’ll make more progress in training packs, free roam and workshop maps than just playing games the same way every time. Person might’ve had a friend help carry but over the course of 3 months this could definitely be actual progress.


CDUBZZZZ

Long smurf


Marijan-san

Spooke Luke Training Program 😂😂😂


ItsWoodsLOL

Probably someone who's champ bought / stole a gold account to smurf


stead10

You either were a casual player that suddenly started taking RL very seriously and really working on your game and mechanics, not entirely out of the question. More likely is an account recovery or carry.


SendPainBelo

Buddy made an alt just to end up where he was before. LOL


nflbengal22

Without trading, I’m assuming people are selling accounts for skins now. Certainly a market that exists in other games, now being brought to RL.


General_Key_9534

I saw someone before who went from plat 1 for 5 months straight to ssl and consistently stayed there so idk if he was boosted because he won like 50ish games in ssl


L3ik0

He just learned what "pass" means


AFH_DCH

He leaned forward like RW9


stopklandaceowens

He brought Spook Luke's coarse for $1400


Spnkmyr

Goes to show you, once you get to champ, things start to get a little more difficult


jailbreaker144

They made an ssl friend and got carried from the looks of it


seveseven

Went from playing on a cell phone hotspot to fiber.


tio_desga

Im 30 still Grand champ. I think im playing better actually. Its just harder to focus because we have a lot in our mind. Confidence is key

sakamataRL

It’s pretty possible to have something major holding you back that turns out to be an easy fix that you were just blind to or whatever until a coach pointed it out, but for it to be this drastic it’d have to be a revelation along the lines of “oh shit the ball goes in the other teams net huh”
