Can confirm. I actually did something like this at the end of last season. Then by the end of the season, when i was getting annoyed by the whole lobby - opponents and teammates, I was annoyed because most games generally had people missing the ball and was just slow to taking their turn on the ball. So, i turned it back on. I was totally blown away by what i've seen. I was sitting at 200+ general MMR higher than my previous. Something i'd never achieved for the last 3 seasons. And the guys that i was annoyed at turned out to be 1.6 - 1.7k MMR A real eye opener for me.
I personally feel like that has more to do with mmr inflation, everyone I know that was gc in like the first week or 2 of last season ended up in like 1700-1800. But it just makes sense, with people getting 2.3k or even 2.4k people like us have to fill the mid gc ranks. and people in c3 or so will get low gc
@@TheColdestplay i don't think it has to do with inflation at all, being honest here im only plat 3 div 4 in 3v3 and i m currently almost 1500mmr in casual game modes. I did a similar test and when i started this season i was only 900. I had an increase of about 600mmr from the beginning of this season to the end of last season. He's talking about casual game mode and not comp so if someone like me who's not even diamond can hit 1500 in casuals, more than likely it has nothing to do with inflation and more to do with the mental state of the brain. In my personal opinion the brain operates in stress mode or relaxed mode in various ways. When i play with 1800s all the time my brain drives into panic mode and i have no idea what im doing, but if im playing with people lower than me i tend to just play worse. Its something your brain can not fix unless you don't know the rank your playing at. 2 seasons ago i was sitting in low silver in 1v1. Today my peak rank has been plat 1 division 4. After i turned on mmr ratings and saw where i was i freaked out and dropped down to mid gold. I have been stable there for some time. So it makes sense to me.
@@metallix1731 inflation only happens in higher ranks. top 100 nowadays starts at almost 2.2k thanks to it. I am only a 1800 gc but even i dont think I should be that high. A lot of c3s get pushed into gc at the end of the season becuase of inflation
This video was awesome! It looks like this might be really helpful for people that get ranked anxiety or have problems "pigeon holing" themselves as a certain rank. Also, I loved the little "game time" animation at 2:00
I did this a lot last season and I catch myself doing it again this season. I was plat 1-2 in my 3s, rumble, and hoops playlists, (so half my playlists) but mid-gold to mid-silver in everything else. My friends and I were previously all the same ranks, where high gold was considered the rank of the gods. That was just the season before last. I would catch myself in 1s thinking things like "I'm a plat 2 right now, this silver 2 should be getting slapped silly. Why am I down 3-2?" and then I'd tilt myself and lose worse. Which would make me more tilted and eventually lead me to just quit playing ranked for the entire second half of last season. I would forget that this was 1s, not 3s, and that we're actually an even match. I would dive hard into my mechanics in a match and try to out-pace or out-play my opponents, instead of playing to my own strengths, which was my positioning and frequent demos.

Great video. I also recommend turning off chat in 1s and focusing on gameplay as you're not waiting for your opponent to talk S#@T every time you make a bad touch or miss a save.
thanks for this GREAT video. I had this feeling about pressure to lose against lower rank or to have not skill to win against higher rank. and also, to lose against opponent doing shit.... I'll definitivly go back to hide everything....
Very nice video! I did something similar two seasons ago. I had been promoted to Champion I in 2s and Plat II in 1s (I dont play 3s). I was really wishing to get Champion reward at the end of season but got demoted back to D3. I tilted so hard that I falled to D2 in 2s and Gold III at 1s. It was really frustating because I perceived that I was significantly mechanically better to the rest of the lobby in 2s and my opponents on 1s. I realized that I needed to take some steps back and I hid my ranking with bakkesmod and just played the game. After some days I thought that I was playing well and when I revealed my rank, I was back at C1 and Plat 2, my peak. So it really worked for me. I guess tha doing it for an entire season is too much, but I am considering to alternate playing with hidden and shown ranks. Thanks Rocket Science, great vid, I had the same impressions you had about being at a lower rank, it really helps to play more relaxed. EDIT: Also, playing with anonymized cars and names made me feel like playing an offline game and I found it nice.
Thanks for this video. I recently reached GC for the first time ever in S13 and was proud of myself. When the new season started, I began to feel nervous when I'm not in form and miss a few shots etc. My own title started to make me feel nervous, because I don't like people to say stuff like "aah youre just boosted" and stuff like that. Other peoples opinion/ or skill can make me feel really down all the time. I should really turn the rank information off and see how I'm gonna improve
Yeah I don’t have the title but I agree. I see people with the title all the time and I tell my friends that those guys can have bad games too. Not being arrogant but I know I can be gc I just love playing with my friends in ranked to help them out more than I want gc. You got this bro and we should play sometime if u want
I'm doing something similar, I've unbound the scoreboard so I can't see it during games - I don't want points to lead me to think me or others are playing good and bad. I've noticed this increased my focus on the game and plays instead of the people and scores. So much more fun, no matter if winning or losing.
The only reason I keep mine around for ping checks. I don't like the performance graphs, and that way I can see if one of my teammates is having some ping issues.
I have an unhealthy addiction of spamming scoreboard during all dead times during games, so idk if I could do this. Idec what the scoreboard says I just need something to do for those 3 seconds before kickoff haha
This is so true, I'm C3 right now and anytime I have someone with a grand champ title either on my team or the opposing team I always play worse. It just gets in my head and I overthink everything I wish I could hide those tll
@@redwarrior2963 yeah me too, im in low diamond but in unranked every 3rd person has a gc title. at first it made me play way worse but got used to it and i play like i normally would.
I started doing something similar on a smaller scale a while ago. I removed the bind to check the scoreboard during a match because I kept looking at it and valuing players simply by their points. After taking it off I realized that I was playing a lot better because I stopped worrying about who was "carrying" the team and just focused on the game.
Also the points are given out pretty arbitrarily. You can catch a ball in the mid-field and get no points for it, or you can let it get almost into your net and save it and get 75 points for that... Throwing the ball directly at your opponent can get you points for "shot on goal" even though all you did was giving up possession. Basically, the more you chase the ball, the more points you usually have, no matter if your touches were strategically meaningful or just plain stupid.
I did this for all my ranks this season, although I mostly focused on 2v2. The end result was that I gained 170mmr in 2s in 5 weeks with no conscious change in playstyle, going from c2 div 4 to hitting gc for the 1st time. Thanks for sharing this, helped me a ton!
I really like the idea tbh, now that I shifted to PC I really look at the MMR and it very much affects how I go into a match. I'll try it out. Thanks and cool videos, I subbed
As soon as I start caring about my rank it drops, when I don't care and have funa a whole session I hit my peaks then I come back worried about losing ground but throw it all away anyways
Holy shit man, I am honestly flabbergasted at how low your subscribers is. I've been watching you from the beginning, and your vids have always been really high quality and unique. Anyone who hasn't seen all the past videos on this channel, go and watch them, really great stuff.
I know this is about 1s, but for Doubles and Standard Squishy kind of explained it in one of his videos; when you’re on a winning streak the game sees you as possibly stronger than your actual rank, so it matches you with weaker teammates, so as to not give your team an “unfair advantage” over the opponents. So if you, like it’s very very common in ranked, see your self climbing and then suddenly you go on a losing streak this is partially the reason. It’s the games way of “keeping you in the rank you belong.” I would think that the losing streak Rocket Science experienced could be partially due to that type of match making by the system.
That's what I don't get with RL. Why would you try to stop a player from climbing ranks if they're going to encounter better players naturally as they go along, and eventually stabilize anyway?
The thing you're describing did indeed exist in Rocket League at some point, however, it was removed long ago. This reddit comment sums it up www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/b2ofme/do_you_get_a_boost_from_having_a_big_win_streak/eiu6ino?
Great vid as usual. Video idea about the speed flip, I see many tutorials about it, but I still can't understand why cancelling the flip makes it faster...
The flip isn't faster. It's just that you can keep boosting throughout the flip and if you cancel it properly, the boost exhaust will always face in the right direction to get the maximum acceleration from boost rather than boosting in a direction that you don't want.
I would like to be able to see my win/loss per day or per week without looking at it every game or every session. Can you share how you did this tracking?
Unfortunately, the way that hiding ranks in bakkesmod works right now, is by overwriting the skilldata. That means it can't be logged. What I did for this video is a mod to only hide my rank in the main menu. In the game, I left once the podium came up. That way I never saw my rank. To log the rank in general, you can use a plugin like this bakkesplugins.com/plugins/view/58
@@RocketScience does overwriting skill data affect 3rd party trackers, or could you use something like RL tracker to to see the progression later on? I realize that wouldn't be precise enough for your purposes, but just wondering for my own purposes. Love your content btw :)
I've wondered the same, hiding rank.. That way placebo won't hit in... I thought I subbed long ago, but now I made sure of it. 10/10 content always flawlessly executed 👌
I feel like thats the case with many people I know myself included. I was so focused on getting to diamond that all I wanted todat was play ranked until I got it. Although I only got to diamond once I stopped focusing on my rank and actively tried to get better at the game.
I know what unranked casual isn't quite the same MMR system as Ranked, but playing that for a long time showed that I had some potential for improvement. In ranked, I would get constantly tilted, and was trapped in gold/plat limbo for a while. I recently checked a stat website that keeps track of your MMR, and my casual MMR was all the way up at the equivalent of Diamond 3. It's given me the strength to keep going, because I *know* that I have what it takes. Even if it's not D3, I am absolutely determined on hitting D1 by the end of this season in ranked
had something similar 2 years ago. i was playing the game only occasionally and was like plat 1 but started to play it all the time. within one season i got to diamond and in the next to champ. you just need to live this game lol
Lmao same i always played but last january i got tired of suckin and i went from gold 2 to diamond 3 in a month.. but ive been stuck at d3 ever since 😭
Before watching the video, I find that when I don't notice my rank between games I do better, leading to streaks of winning 5 or 6 games in a row before I notice I've gained a few divisions
Agreed. I just had my longest win streak in ages (9 games) during placements. Now that I can see my rank I just bounce back and forth where I was smashing players of this rank back when I couldn't see mine. I've even noticed that my higher mechanics are starting to go away in that playlist and I'm playing like the rest, instead of doing what I did to go 9-1 in placements.
In fifa it kinda is the same, you cant see oponnonent’s rating and when you’re playing I spot mistakes and think I should be able to win this one and end up losing. I think our mentalities are quite alike, great vid
Turning off ranks can help a lot. Nowadays you can even hide the divisions w/o having bakkes mod. That's what kinda triggers me the most... the freakin div up div down thing after almost every match.
I did this in 3's after being stuck at 1450-1500 and peaked 1650. I turned my ranks back on, lost gc, tilted off the face of the planet and now I play with ranks on most of the time, unless I really want to climb. Something else that was enlightening was the fact that I took my 374 games, took each win and loss and averaged the data. This shows what part of your games you need to work on, to reduce losses. Of those games 204 were wins and 170 were losses (54.5% WR), the most notable things that I did better in wins were: 34% higher score; scored 129% more goals; assisted 226% more; took 38% more shots (and got shot on 68% as much), but had a 41% down to 25% shooting percent (66% more converted shots in wins); I conceded 1/3 as many goals while last defender, but adjusting for the fact that I got scored on almost 3 times as much makes sense, so my saving can be worked on, but its not my weakest skill; I was massively consistent across the board with boost management, which is telling me that, even though my avg speed is lower than my rank average, I'm still rotating mostly well; however the data also shows that I spend 10% less time in front of the ball, but also spend 7% more time in the offensive 1/3. I took all the averages and did a (Naïve) Average % better in wins, and came out with the total: 5.88%, which is almost what I expect since I only won 4.5% more games than breaking even. I'm in the planning process for a more comprehensive program to analyse this data. The end idea is to make a "trainer" to help spot mistakes in a persons gameplay and then to offer (or create custom?) workshop/training packs that help train that skill. If anyone has any ideas I would be excited to hear them.
It has been around a year since I watched this video and after I had, I ALSO did this experiment and added turning on name randomizer and turning off ALL chat. I didn't get tilted NEARLY as much (unless I was just making horrible mistakes at which point I would stop playing) and ended up going from Plat I to Diamond II. I was so much more relaxed when I played and actually began to ENJOY 1s. I turned it back on and haven't moved much, staying around D1/2. May do this again as it really was the best way for me! Might turn off name randomizer and see the actual names this time, but we'll see.
Started back in May of 2020, almost been a full year for me, been stuck around the same rank for the past 3 seasons. Finished ranked Plat in my first And finished ranked Dia these last 2.
I was champ 3 last season but now I'm diamond 3 and I really feel the heavy car bug. My opinion is because I played fortnite for a week on very high sensitivity so when I switched back to rocket league my car and camera felt very slow... Obviously, heavy car bug cannot be proved. But dropping so many ranks and missing boosts etc because I feel so slow us ridiculous.
I feel you bro, same shit.. What I do is just turn all sounds except game sound, and put some chill music on my headphones. And just go at it, ballchase whole game if thats what you need to get the speed feel back into it..you'll probably lose the game but I guarantee speed will be back. I usually don't ballchase, but instead I play as fast as I can and go for weird, hard shots, instant aerials, I force myself to try harder shots and usually 2-3 games and I'm out of the slump.

MRR being visible doesn't trigger me... it's when the opponent watches every replay. When can I queue for a playlist with replays disabled? I wish replays could be skipped if 50% of the lobby voted to skip them. :P
Sometimes when I watch the replay, the opponents types "SKIP!!!" in chat. Of course I won't skip any replay afterwards, because I know the opponent will tilt and he is likely to make more mistakes. It almost always works.
What works for me is to completely disable the chat in 1s. Now, whenever an opponent keeps watching replays of him scoring, I give zero fucks because it makes me realize how stupid it actually is to purposefully try to tilt someone. If he trash talks, I can't see it. If he spams quick chat, I can't see it. And I just know that not responding to someone trash talking is making them rage even more. This way, I can concentrate much more on the actual gameplay. If it still bothers you when he watches replays, just look away from the screen for a second and take a deep breath. It's just a game after all, don't let toxic players annoy you :)
when i start playing i am very calm and dont care if my teammates suck then after few games i get really mad but still keep playing sometimes i play better when im angry because i want to win more than ever
I remember watching scrub run into you on his video, funny that you were making one at the same time. I've also thought of doing this too. One thing you could've added was making opponents anonymous through bakkesmod so even if they were elites you wouldn't know.
I completely confirm this, my main account is just a low platinum player ( all modes ) I create a new account just to farm crates, I don't wanted to boost any player or create unfair games, so just played 1vs1, at the early games I hold back a lot, but when I started to see platinum tournament titles I played as a usually. Fun think is I don't even knew what was my rank and end up winning my 10 placement with final rank diamond 1 div 1. Next season I'll use bakkesmod to hide everything. Summary: the power of mind
My highest rank ever was mid C2 in 3s. A couple weeks ago I went on a winning streak so amazing a ended up at 1496 mmr (4 points shy of gc). Then I started to get shy, thinking I was just a lucky mid-c2, and I didn't deserve to be here among all those great players. So I unconscious set myself for failure and went back to mid c3. Still way better than before, but I could have gone higher if I hadn't noticed my new rank.
How did you keep track of your MMR throughout the month? I want to turn it off for an entire month, but I want to be able to track it at the end. You talked about how you logged it in a spreadsheet, but how did you do that?

I see a lot of myself here. I had a hard time last season with my higher-ranked playlists. Those being my 3's, rumble, and hoops playlists. I was firmly plat 1-2 and the rank didn't budge all season. But, when I played in my lower ranked playlists (getting as bad as silver 2 in 1s) I would get very tilted at my losses because I knew I was a good player and thoughts like "I'm a plat, I should be able to beat a silver." I would also encounter diamond players quite frequently, and the occasional partied champ 1 + gold duo. Seeing one of these players would always make me play worse. I don't think I was nervous or going full try-hard, it was more like I was overly aware of how outmatched I was. I was mostly able to keep up, and I would still sometimes score, but I was never as good, consistent, or smart against higher ranked players. I was overall more passive, with my fast and aggressive playstyle gone without a trace whenever this happened. I remember one time I hit high plat 3 in hoops. I was 2 wins out of diamond. I came across a pair of diamond players in a match, both against me. I was instantly terrible. I was missing open shots and an easy save. I made awful challenges and found myself being way more passive than normal. I obviously lost that match, and my losing streak in hoops would go on to span a week and 17 games, dropping me all the way back in gold 2 where I finished the season. This season I played my 3s placements, and I was shocked to see that my rank is now SIlver 3, when at the same time last season it was gold 2. I don't know what's going on with that. I played extremely well in my placements, (I went on a 9-game win streak in one playlist).
U made me read all this to say that the match making is bad, yes its bad im currently c2 in 2s and three games in a row me and my tm8 who is the same rank as me played against gc titles not both of them only one but still won two games and lost the last one, and that is bad since they were mostly boosted up bye their tm8s soooo its till not good
@@realfeils4655 I'm not trying to say that matchmaking is to blame here. I am simply pointing out situations from last season's games and sharing my experience with them. I understand that I may seem upset at the matchmaking system, though I'm not really. Those diamond players were only a few mmr better than me and the champ + gold duo thing was a very rare occurrence, happening only a few times across over 100 games last season. I am simply trying to share my experience with others' ranks getting in my head, or myself getting in my own head and tilting myself. Sorry for the miscommunication.
I am c2 in 2v2 but in 1v1 I'm only plat 1. I know i can hit at least high diamond in 1s but that's why i cannot win. Every time I screw up something on the low rank I get completely tilted. I play even worse then the plat guys lol. But it's not only you thinking that you should do better, it's also sometimes bad matchmaking. I also see alot of players in 1s that have champion wheels and are plat 1 too. That does not make any sense. I am not very skilled mechanically but for sure I am better than most of plats and probably than most of diamonds but still cannot rank up. Mostly I just quit after playing 2 or 3 games because I get absolutely pissed and throw my controller away.
@@realfeils4655 Yeah that sucks. I only soloq in 2s and pretty often (maybe every 10th game) there are some GCs in the lobby. You can clearly see that they play alot faster and more consisten. Either you have luck and get them on your team or not. Not much you can do against it since they go for fast aerial shots, redirects, team pinches, ceiling shots... In c1/c2 99% of the players can't do that so you are not prepared for such shots. Also they defend much better. But I guess psyonix can do nothing about that. It's also not the GCs fault. They start the season, win maybe 8 games and place low champion and need to rank up again. Nothing you can do about it. I sometimes get boosted teammates / enemies and that really sucks. Having a low diamond in mid champ is just too much. They get carried and then try soloq and cost you the game.
Would be nice to know how to hide only one rank and not all of them. Would love to try it myself but i think i won't have the dicipline to do it for all the playlists
Actually if you think about it... Hiding your rank makes you better because you have a better mindset because you don't have to worry about your rank because you don't know it. I think this helps with noticing what you're doing wrong instead of freaking out over a rank.
This graph is my 1's career. Been as high as p2 div4 and oscillate between that and g3. My highest rank is d1 and I usually perform better when I see an opponent with champ rewards. I tend to get more physical and have a, get stuck in mentality.
I hang around plat 2 and plat 3 in duels and have champ rewards. I'm sure most of us get them from either 2v2 or rumble. I get mine from both. Working on getting c3/gc in rumble and c2/c3 in 2v2. I really need to work on my 1s though, because I find I struggle a lot in 1v2 or 1v1 situations.
I did the same thing the season before, I got a 12-game win streak; won and lost a bit like you, then ended, also, around 1 rank higher than where I started

Sebastian Price nice
Can confirm. I actually did something like this at the end of last season.
Then by the end of the season, when i was getting annoyed by the whole lobby - opponents and teammates, I was annoyed because most games generally had people missing the ball and was just slow to taking their turn on the ball.
So, i turned it back on. I was totally blown away by what i've seen.
I was sitting at 200+ general MMR higher than my previous. Something i'd never achieved for the last 3 seasons.
And the guys that i was annoyed at turned out to be 1.6 - 1.7k MMR
A real eye opener for me.
Damn, how much did you play in that time?
I personally feel like that has more to do with mmr inflation, everyone I know that was gc in like the first week or 2 of last season ended up in like 1700-1800. But it just makes sense, with people getting 2.3k or even 2.4k people like us have to fill the mid gc ranks. and people in c3 or so will get low gc
@@TheColdestplay i don't think it has to do with inflation at all, being honest here im only plat 3 div 4 in 3v3 and i m currently almost 1500mmr in casual game modes. I did a similar test and when i started this season i was only 900. I had an increase of about 600mmr from the beginning of this season to the end of last season. He's talking about casual game mode and not comp so if someone like me who's not even diamond can hit 1500 in casuals, more than likely it has nothing to do with inflation and more to do with the mental state of the brain. In my personal opinion the brain operates in stress mode or relaxed mode in various ways. When i play with 1800s all the time my brain drives into panic mode and i have no idea what im doing, but if im playing with people lower than me i tend to just play worse. Its something your brain can not fix unless you don't know the rank your playing at. 2 seasons ago i was sitting in low silver in 1v1. Today my peak rank has been plat 1 division 4. After i turned on mmr ratings and saw where i was i freaked out and dropped down to mid gold. I have been stable there for some time. So it makes sense to me.
@@metallix1731 inflation only happens in higher ranks. top 100 nowadays starts at almost 2.2k thanks to it. I am only a 1800 gc but even i dont think I should be that high. A lot of c3s get pushed into gc at the end of the season becuase of inflation
@@TheColdestplay thanks for the information. Ill make sure to keep that in mind.
Got recommended a whole year after being uploaded but you now have my attention
Its been a while year but I bearly am at c3, smh this dude way better 😞

I mainly get tilted from losing to someone who makes big mistakes that I spot but I'm just to slow to punish - I can relate so much
Ah yes, BananaMan. The world's greatest hurdle
Thats like the option to enable the quickchat only for the team at every kickoffs, thats one of the most useful thing of bakkesmod
Wait that exists?! How did i not notice...
@@tibhamel Yea i was mind blowned when Ive discovered it :D
Theres also the team tactical quickchat option now which does the same thing
This video was awesome! It looks like this might be really helpful for people that get ranked anxiety or have problems "pigeon holing" themselves as a certain rank.
Also, I loved the little "game time" animation at 2:00
I did this a lot last season and I catch myself doing it again this season. I was plat 1-2 in my 3s, rumble, and hoops playlists, (so half my playlists) but mid-gold to mid-silver in everything else. My friends and I were previously all the same ranks, where high gold was considered the rank of the gods. That was just the season before last.
I would catch myself in 1s thinking things like "I'm a plat 2 right now, this silver 2 should be getting slapped silly. Why am I down 3-2?" and then I'd tilt myself and lose worse. Which would make me more tilted and eventually lead me to just quit playing ranked for the entire second half of last season.
I would forget that this was 1s, not 3s, and that we're actually an even match. I would dive hard into my mechanics in a match and try to out-pace or out-play my opponents, instead of playing to my own strengths, which was my positioning and frequent demos.

Blyzz you’re right, sounds like the other people are so scarred from mainstream YT or clickbait that they just assumed to place you in that stigma 😂
No. Stop. Dont do that...
Dont give me hope
Great video.
I also recommend turning off chat in 1s and focusing on gameplay as you're not waiting for your opponent to talk S#@T every time you make a bad touch or miss a save.
thanks for this GREAT video. I had this feeling about pressure to lose against lower rank or to have not skill to win against higher rank. and also, to lose against opponent doing shit.... I'll definitivly go back to hide everything....
Very nice video! I did something similar two seasons ago. I had been promoted to Champion I in 2s and Plat II in 1s (I dont play 3s). I was really wishing to get Champion reward at the end of season but got demoted back to D3. I tilted so hard that I falled to D2 in 2s and Gold III at 1s. It was really frustating because I perceived that I was significantly mechanically better to the rest of the lobby in 2s and my opponents on 1s.
I realized that I needed to take some steps back and I hid my ranking with bakkesmod and just played the game. After some days I thought that I was playing well and when I revealed my rank, I was back at C1 and Plat 2, my peak. So it really worked for me.
I guess tha doing it for an entire season is too much, but I am considering to alternate playing with hidden and shown ranks. Thanks Rocket Science, great vid, I had the same impressions you had about being at a lower rank, it really helps to play more relaxed.
EDIT: Also, playing with anonymized cars and names made me feel like playing an offline game and I found it nice.
Thanks for this video. I recently reached GC for the first time ever in S13 and was proud of myself. When the new season started, I began to feel nervous when I'm not in form and miss a few shots etc. My own title started to make me feel nervous, because I don't like people to say stuff like "aah youre just boosted" and stuff like that. Other peoples opinion/ or skill can make me feel really down all the time. I should really turn the rank information off and see how I'm gonna improve
Yeah I don’t have the title but I agree. I see people with the title all the time and I tell my friends that those guys can have bad games too. Not being arrogant but I know I can be gc I just love playing with my friends in ranked to help them out more than I want gc. You got this bro and we should play sometime if u want
I'm doing something similar, I've unbound the scoreboard so I can't see it during games - I don't want points to lead me to think me or others are playing good and bad. I've noticed this increased my focus on the game and plays instead of the people and scores. So much more fun, no matter if winning or losing.
you can remove the scoreboard in bakkesmod?
@@andreasmoyseos5980 he unbinded the button on his controler to view it
@@andreasmoyseos5980 It's a good tip, thank you :)
The only reason I keep mine around for ping checks. I don't like the performance graphs, and that way I can see if one of my teammates is having some ping issues.
I have an unhealthy addiction of spamming scoreboard during all dead times during games, so idk if I could do this. Idec what the scoreboard says I just need something to do for those 3 seconds before kickoff haha
4:43 that’s pickapixel’s friend!
Really cool one !! Keep these experiments up ✊
This is so true, I'm C3 right now and anytime I have someone with a grand champ title either on my team or the opposing team I always play worse. It just gets in my head and I overthink everything I wish I could hide those tll
I just got used to people having those tags and I just think of them as any other person in my current skill level. They don't scare me anymore.
@@redwarrior2963 yeah me too, im in low diamond but in unranked every 3rd person has a gc title. at first it made me play way worse but got used to it and i play like i normally would.
I am the same rank and have the same issue. Anytime I see a title, for some reason I play worse
Really cool experiment! Loved it.
I started doing something similar on a smaller scale a while ago. I removed the bind to check the scoreboard during a match because I kept looking at it and valuing players simply by their points. After taking it off I realized that I was playing a lot better because I stopped worrying about who was "carrying" the team and just focused on the game.
Also the points are given out pretty arbitrarily. You can catch a ball in the mid-field and get no points for it, or you can let it get almost into your net and save it and get 75 points for that... Throwing the ball directly at your opponent can get you points for "shot on goal" even though all you did was giving up possession. Basically, the more you chase the ball, the more points you usually have, no matter if your touches were strategically meaningful or just plain stupid.
I did this for all my ranks this season, although I mostly focused on 2v2. The end result was that I gained 170mmr in 2s in 5 weeks with no conscious change in playstyle, going from c2 div 4 to hitting gc for the 1st time. Thanks for sharing this, helped me a ton!
I really like the idea tbh, now that I shifted to PC I really look at the MMR and it very much affects how I go into a match. I'll try it out. Thanks and cool videos, I subbed
This is the first of your videos I have watched and I really enjoyed! Subbed and liked.
Nice concept and interesting results. Thanks for a Good video!
As soon as I start caring about my rank it drops, when I don't care and have funa a whole session I hit my peaks then I come back worried about losing ground but throw it all away anyways
Holy shit man, I am honestly flabbergasted at how low your subscribers is. I've been watching you from the beginning, and your vids have always been really high quality and unique.
Anyone who hasn't seen all the past videos on this channel, go and watch them, really great stuff.
Very interesting to see :D + very high quality video!
Dude I legit saw you in one of scrubs videos he even made a comment about you and how good your vids are, it’s crazy seeing your POV
I know this is about 1s, but for Doubles and Standard Squishy kind of explained it in one of his videos; when you’re on a winning streak the game sees you as possibly stronger than your actual rank, so it matches you with weaker teammates, so as to not give your team an “unfair advantage” over the opponents. So if you, like it’s very very common in ranked, see your self climbing and then suddenly you go on a losing streak this is partially the reason. It’s the games way of “keeping you in the rank you belong.”
I would think that the losing streak Rocket Science experienced could be partially due to that type of match making by the system.
That's what I don't get with RL. Why would you try to stop a player from climbing ranks if they're going to encounter better players naturally as they go along, and eventually stabilize anyway?
The thing you're describing did indeed exist in Rocket League at some point, however, it was removed long ago. This reddit comment sums it up www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/b2ofme/do_you_get_a_boost_from_having_a_big_win_streak/eiu6ino?
Great vid as usual. Video idea about the speed flip, I see many tutorials about it, but I still can't understand why cancelling the flip makes it faster...
The flip isn't faster. It's just that you can keep boosting throughout the flip and if you cancel it properly, the boost exhaust will always face in the right direction to get the maximum acceleration from boost rather than boosting in a direction that you don't want.
@@RocketScience Wow finally, I understand, thx,
I would like to be able to see my win/loss per day or per week without looking at it every game or every session. Can you share how you did this tracking?
Unfortunately, the way that hiding ranks in bakkesmod works right now, is by overwriting the skilldata. That means it can't be logged. What I did for this video is a mod to only hide my rank in the main menu. In the game, I left once the podium came up. That way I never saw my rank. To log the rank in general, you can use a plugin like this bakkesplugins.com/plugins/view/58
Rocket Science smart
@@RocketScience does overwriting skill data affect 3rd party trackers, or could you use something like RL tracker to to see the progression later on? I realize that wouldn't be precise enough for your purposes, but just wondering for my own purposes. Love your content btw :)
I've wondered the same, hiding rank.. That way placebo won't hit in...
I thought I subbed long ago, but now I made sure of it. 10/10 content always flawlessly executed 👌
I feel like thats the case with many people I know myself included. I was so focused on getting to diamond that all I wanted todat was play ranked until I got it. Although I only got to diamond once I stopped focusing on my rank and actively tried to get better at the game.
ok im sorry but the wave dash at 3:00 was something I would've never thought of. It just seems so perfect.
was lookin for this
4:59 holy shit you played kazalex haha! He’s a british RL youtuber, funny dude
Roofio thought I was the only one who remembered kaz, “Bloody Lag Man” 😂
Irrelevant
Yeah I noticed too
@@twentyfour4222 what does that make you?
one of the most useful channels for RL should have more subs
I know what unranked casual isn't quite the same MMR system as Ranked, but playing that for a long time showed that I had some potential for improvement.
In ranked, I would get constantly tilted, and was trapped in gold/plat limbo for a while.
I recently checked a stat website that keeps track of your MMR, and my casual MMR was all the way up at the equivalent of Diamond 3.
It's given me the strength to keep going, because I *know* that I have what it takes. Even if it's not D3, I am absolutely determined on hitting D1 by the end of this season in ranked
Ever since the worlds been closed I’ve gone from gold 3 to diamond 2.
had something similar 2 years ago. i was playing the game only occasionally and was like plat 1 but started to play it all the time. within one season i got to diamond and in the next to champ. you just need to live this game lol
Lmao same i always played but last january i got tired of suckin and i went from gold 2 to diamond 3 in a month.. but ive been stuck at d3 ever since 😭
Ever since the worlds been closed I’ve gone from gold 3 to gold 2
Went from d3/c1 to c2 div 4 in just 2 weeks with my 2s teammate. Something clicked and we are pushing to gc now! 🙂
I have 3 days of match time and went from g3 to p3
Before watching the video, I find that when I don't notice my rank between games I do better, leading to streaks of winning 5 or 6 games in a row before I notice I've gained a few divisions
Agreed. I just had my longest win streak in ages (9 games) during placements. Now that I can see my rank I just bounce back and forth where I was smashing players of this rank back when I couldn't see mine. I've even noticed that my higher mechanics are starting to go away in that playlist and I'm playing like the rest, instead of doing what I did to go 9-1 in placements.
I saw you and Bakkes in one of OSM's clips on the most recent OSMOMENTS and I was so hype. Keep it up bro, love your videos!
I subbed because you just sound like a nice guy Sweer video!
Been waiting for you to ask, you get my sub bro
Always wondered about this. Very interesting experiment, I'll have to try myself. :)
I've subbed so hopefully you can reach 1 million one day!
Yesss hope to see u keep making more content now
In fifa it kinda is the same, you cant see oponnonent’s rating and when you’re playing I spot mistakes and think I should be able to win this one and end up losing. I think our mentalities are quite alike, great vid
I sincerely hope you get to 1 mil subs next!
I remember watching those games vs Scrub on his stream.
Turning off ranks can help a lot. Nowadays you can even hide the divisions w/o having bakkes mod. That's what kinda triggers me the most... the freakin div up div down thing after almost every match.
I did this in 3's after being stuck at 1450-1500 and peaked 1650. I turned my ranks back on, lost gc, tilted off the face of the planet and now I play with ranks on most of the time, unless I really want to climb. Something else that was enlightening was the fact that I took my 374 games, took each win and loss and averaged the data. This shows what part of your games you need to work on, to reduce losses. Of those games 204 were wins and 170 were losses (54.5% WR), the most notable things that I did better in wins were: 34% higher score; scored 129% more goals; assisted 226% more; took 38% more shots (and got shot on 68% as much), but had a 41% down to 25% shooting percent (66% more converted shots in wins); I conceded 1/3 as many goals while last defender, but adjusting for the fact that I got scored on almost 3 times as much makes sense, so my saving can be worked on, but its not my weakest skill; I was massively consistent across the board with boost management, which is telling me that, even though my avg speed is lower than my rank average, I'm still rotating mostly well; however the data also shows that I spend 10% less time in front of the ball, but also spend 7% more time in the offensive 1/3. I took all the averages and did a (Naïve) Average % better in wins, and came out with the total: 5.88%, which is almost what I expect since I only won 4.5% more games than breaking even. I'm in the planning process for a more comprehensive program to analyse this data. The end idea is to make a "trainer" to help spot mistakes in a persons gameplay and then to offer (or create custom?) workshop/training packs that help train that skill. If anyone has any ideas I would be excited to hear them.
@Mason Forness bakkesmod
Get This Man to 1 Million!
It has been around a year since I watched this video and after I had, I ALSO did this experiment and added turning on name randomizer and turning off ALL chat. I didn't get tilted NEARLY as much (unless I was just making horrible mistakes at which point I would stop playing) and ended up going from Plat I to Diamond II. I was so much more relaxed when I played and actually began to ENJOY 1s. I turned it back on and haven't moved much, staying around D1/2. May do this again as it really was the best way for me! Might turn off name randomizer and see the actual names this time, but we'll see.
Started back in May of 2020, almost been a full year for me, been stuck around the same rank for the past 3 seasons.
Finished ranked Plat in my first
And finished ranked Dia these last 2.
I was champ 3 last season but now I'm diamond 3 and I really feel the heavy car bug.
My opinion is because I played fortnite for a week on very high sensitivity so when I switched back to rocket league my car and camera felt very slow...
Obviously, heavy car bug cannot be proved. But dropping so many ranks and missing boosts etc because I feel so slow us ridiculous.
I feel you bro, same shit..
What I do is just turn all sounds except game sound, and put some chill music on my headphones.
And just go at it, ballchase whole game if thats what you need to get the speed feel back into it..you'll probably lose the game but I guarantee speed will be back.
I usually don't ballchase, but instead I play as fast as I can and go for weird, hard shots, instant aerials, I force myself to try harder shots and usually 2-3 games and I'm out of the slump.
I think you should make this video again. I really liked it.
Great video!
I liked the video just for the great concept
I think might try this in my 1s matches. I'e always wanted to get goo at 1s but just hate it and this might help me actually do it.
Love your videos
how do you automatically save your mmr in an excel file?
7353. I would love to know how to do that too, I’d love to see the difference from the beginning to end of season on a match to match basis

@@RocketScience Can you also only log, that would be enough for me, cause I like Excel :D
MRR being visible doesn't trigger me... it's when the opponent watches every replay. When can I queue for a playlist with replays disabled? I wish replays could be skipped if 50% of the lobby voted to skip them. :P
Have a sip of water and take a deep breath and the replay will be over. No reason to get mad about that.
You can't fool me, bot.
Sometimes this is me, it's not that neccesarily I want to watch the replay, more like shoot of a quick text to a friend.
Sometimes when I watch the replay, the opponents types "SKIP!!!" in chat. Of course I won't skip any replay afterwards, because I know the opponent will tilt and he is likely to make more mistakes. It almost always works.
What works for me is to completely disable the chat in 1s. Now, whenever an opponent keeps watching replays of him scoring, I give zero fucks because it makes me realize how stupid it actually is to purposefully try to tilt someone. If he trash talks, I can't see it. If he spams quick chat, I can't see it. And I just know that not responding to someone trash talking is making them rage even more. This way, I can concentrate much more on the actual gameplay. If it still bothers you when he watches replays, just look away from the screen for a second and take a deep breath. It's just a game after all, don't let toxic players annoy you :)
when i start playing i am very calm and dont care if my teammates suck
then after few games i get really mad but still keep playing
sometimes i play better when im angry because i want to win more than ever
I remember watching scrub run into you on his video, funny that you were making one at the same time. I've also thought of doing this too. One thing you could've added was making opponents anonymous through bakkesmod so even if they were elites you wouldn't know.
I completely confirm this, my main account is just a low platinum player ( all modes )
I create a new account just to farm crates, I don't wanted to boost any player or create unfair games, so just played 1vs1, at the early games I hold back a lot, but when I started to see platinum tournament titles I played as a usually.
Fun think is I don't even knew what was my rank and end up winning my 10 placement with final rank diamond 1 div 1.
Next season I'll use bakkesmod to hide everything.
Summary: the power of mind
My highest rank ever was mid C2 in 3s. A couple weeks ago I went on a winning streak so amazing a ended up at 1496 mmr (4 points shy of gc). Then I started to get shy, thinking I was just a lucky mid-c2, and I didn't deserve to be here among all those great players. So I unconscious set myself for failure and went back to mid c3. Still way better than before, but I could have gone higher if I hadn't noticed my new rank.
MoiBis *1515 mmr For gc
You have such a positive voice. XD
How did you keep track of your MMR throughout the month? I want to turn it off for an entire month, but I want to be able to track it at the end. You talked about how you logged it in a spreadsheet, but how did you do that?

@@brandeeno2846 No difference for me
I have actually wondered this before. I feel like my experience in ones would be so much better if my rank was hidden.
The best scientist out there
I wish there was a way to do this in all other competitive games
This is exactly why I play casual in every game rather than a ranked game mode.
I’ll be on your side until you go viral on RUclips
Love tjat u used overdrive by monstercat 😊👌
I see a lot of myself here. I had a hard time last season with my higher-ranked playlists. Those being my 3's, rumble, and hoops playlists. I was firmly plat 1-2 and the rank didn't budge all season. But, when I played in my lower ranked playlists (getting as bad as silver 2 in 1s) I would get very tilted at my losses because I knew I was a good player and thoughts like "I'm a plat, I should be able to beat a silver."
I would also encounter diamond players quite frequently, and the occasional partied champ 1 + gold duo. Seeing one of these players would always make me play worse. I don't think I was nervous or going full try-hard, it was more like I was overly aware of how outmatched I was. I was mostly able to keep up, and I would still sometimes score, but I was never as good, consistent, or smart against higher ranked players. I was overall more passive, with my fast and aggressive playstyle gone without a trace whenever this happened.
I remember one time I hit high plat 3 in hoops. I was 2 wins out of diamond. I came across a pair of diamond players in a match, both against me. I was instantly terrible. I was missing open shots and an easy save. I made awful challenges and found myself being way more passive than normal. I obviously lost that match, and my losing streak in hoops would go on to span a week and 17 games, dropping me all the way back in gold 2 where I finished the season.
This season I played my 3s placements, and I was shocked to see that my rank is now SIlver 3, when at the same time last season it was gold 2. I don't know what's going on with that. I played extremely well in my placements, (I went on a 9-game win streak in one playlist).
U made me read all this to say that the match making is bad, yes its bad im currently c2 in 2s and three games in a row me and my tm8 who is the same rank as me played against gc titles not both of them only one but still won two games and lost the last one, and that is bad since they were mostly boosted up bye their tm8s soooo its till not good
@@realfeils4655 I'm not trying to say that matchmaking is to blame here. I am simply pointing out situations from last season's games and sharing my experience with them. I understand that I may seem upset at the matchmaking system, though I'm not really. Those diamond players were only a few mmr better than me and the champ + gold duo thing was a very rare occurrence, happening only a few times across over 100 games last season. I am simply trying to share my experience with others' ranks getting in my head, or myself getting in my own head and tilting myself. Sorry for the miscommunication.
I am c2 in 2v2 but in 1v1 I'm only plat 1. I know i can hit at least high diamond in 1s but that's why i cannot win. Every time I screw up something on the low rank I get completely tilted. I play even worse then the plat guys lol. But it's not only you thinking that you should do better, it's also sometimes bad matchmaking. I also see alot of players in 1s that have champion wheels and are plat 1 too. That does not make any sense. I am not very skilled mechanically but for sure I am better than most of plats and probably than most of diamonds but still cannot rank up. Mostly I just quit after playing 2 or 3 games because I get absolutely pissed and throw my controller away.
@@realfeils4655 Yeah that sucks. I only soloq in 2s and pretty often (maybe every 10th game) there are some GCs in the lobby. You can clearly see that they play alot faster and more consisten. Either you have luck and get them on your team or not. Not much you can do against it since they go for fast aerial shots, redirects, team pinches, ceiling shots... In c1/c2 99% of the players can't do that so you are not prepared for such shots. Also they defend much better. But I guess psyonix can do nothing about that. It's also not the GCs fault. They start the season, win maybe 8 games and place low champion and need to rank up again. Nothing you can do about it. I sometimes get boosted teammates / enemies and that really sucks. Having a low diamond in mid champ is just too much. They get carried and then try soloq and cost you the game.

How were you able to export your MMR information from bakkesmod/rocket league to an excel spreadsheet?
I have actually have scoreboard binded to my pause button so I never use it, helps a lot to focus on gameplay
I wish I could convince a couple of my friends to try this.
What is the name of the first track in the background? :)
Would be nice to know how to hide only one rank and not all of them. Would love to try it myself but i think i won't have the dicipline to do it for all the playlists
Can you make a how to so I can do this
didnt ever knew we could see ppl mmr, now i'll try that out bc i lived in blindness since i started playin
Also check out rocketleague.tracker.network and ballchasing.com
Actually if you think about it...
Hiding your rank makes you better because you have a better mindset because you don't have to worry about your rank because you don't know it. I think this helps with noticing what you're doing wrong instead of freaking out over a rank.
Nice vid!
This graph is my 1's career. Been as high as p2 div4 and oscillate between that and g3. My highest rank is d1 and I usually perform better when I see an opponent with champ rewards. I tend to get more physical and have a, get stuck in mentality.
I hang around plat 2 and plat 3 in duels and have champ rewards. I'm sure most of us get them from either 2v2 or rumble. I get mine from both. Working on getting c3/gc in rumble and c2/c3 in 2v2. I really need to work on my 1s though, because I find I struggle a lot in 1v2 or 1v1 situations.
whats your video and camera settings? those graphics are so smooth
I felt so bad for you when watching you play against scub Killa so many times in his channel, can believe it was you!

What specifically in bakkesmod did you use to hide ranks? I'd love to do that for solos
how do you save the mmr to the file pls let me know
To give the experimemt a little more credit:
If i turn off bakkesmod I play a slight bit better. Propably because i dont think op front: ez win or loss
“SCORED! SCORED!”

you should try this again but hiding names using bakkesmod also
Is the only way to turn the rank off bakkesmod cuz I’m console
gotta try this, im always stressed about my low ass rank
