Foxxy is def smurfing. His movement and ability to read where the ball will go and bounce is too good for a 50 hour plat. Anyone know his rank nowadays?
I don't think so. Maybe he's crazy good at hiding it, but it's pretty obvious how uncomfortable he is with the ball in that game. Maybe high plat? I don't remember if their ranks we mentioned exactly, but I could believe him being a mid to high plat player at best.
@@Chillz_OG I’m extremely uncomfortable with dribbles but i can shoot, redirect, pass and im d2-3 plus if you realize plat 1 is basically gold 3.. think to yourself would a gold 3 be doing this..? No.

Wavedashes and half flips are basically essential mechanics so a lot of newer players learn them. I have around 60 hours (Diamond 1 in 2s, plat 2 in 1s) and also wave dash off of walls. I personally picked it up after watching many pros do it

@@tychomol4670 I believe that's maybe why you can't see that it is not legit. I would not have been able to differenciate good players when I had only 2 days. I am now close to 2000 hours
To be fair tho, I guess the players with high hours didn't play continuously. I am expecting them to have streched their playtime over a long period with many breaks in between or one bulk and then a 2 year break or something.
Actually, some months ago I played with a friend who achieved plat with less than 50 hours and I had like 200 and he was beating me every time I played with him, I played daily and he played like once or twice a week.
I am that, fell in love with rocket league when it first came out. Took a break my first year of college and not playing at all. Then I started grinding up to around champ in season 13. I then proceeded to play once a month for about a year and I’m now very low diamond almost plat 3. I also think diamond now is harder then diamond even a year ago

I think a much more interesting video would be to analyze the difference between players with the same number of hours but different levels. like how does a 500 hours gold plays compared to how a 500 hours champ . same for 1000 hours , etc. that would be much more useful to understand what make some people rank up faster than other.
I'm guessing Striped only checked this one account foxxy is playing on, he probably has another account he had spent time on... Or maybe he is just good enough to be a plat, either is plausible 😂
There’s a lot of factors you have to consider. 1) Some of these guys might be their rank so fast because they got carried there 2) They could’ve gotten coached as opposed to the others who have pure play hours 3) A lot of players just play for fun with absolutely no agenda and reached their (low) rank with so many hours just because. And 4) some of these guys might be smurfing I’m not knocking if you actually have that little hours and achieved a high rank then kudos to you. Hope to see you all at SSL some day. Either way keep playing, RL is an amazing game.
I've got approx. 150 hours in game and I just made diamond 2. My mechanics are whack though, definitely need the hours to become a little more flashy and skilled. One day, one day, one day.....
I feel like these metrics mean less unless they are these ranks on 1s. I'm a diamond on 3s because that's all I play, but I got slapped by a Plat in 1s. They're completely different game modes
All gamemodes are kinda in sync from the ranking. Except 1v1.. im like d2-d3 on all gamemodes i have ranked in. But im in plat 2 i think in 1v1. And 90% of the ppl km facing are also like d3 or sth in 3s and 2s.. the ranking is just different there somehow.
I played the guessing game and I knew who would win and who would not based on my own experiences! I think these matches really showed who was more confident and who was not, despite how high or how low the hours are! Great video! :D
That 50 hour plat looking clean, learning all the right mechanics for the rank!! I just hit champ on 300 hours, used to play SARPB when I was younger which helped!
First game really shows how much you can be affected by your first impression. The 50 hours guy had demonstrably better mechanics and showed it repeatedly throughout the game, but it was ignored because striped had already made his conclusion that someone with 50 hours must've gotten there from game sense while someone with 1500 mist be stuck there because they only have mechanics
@@ad4lat Um unlike your friends i'm diamond which is mid rank .Basing your opinion on a few people makes no sense because unlike your friends I know what it is and your friends most likely just flay in the air to get a few touches. Plus air dribbling is quit basic sometimes very rarely people actually flip reset in my games. I also put in the time to learn the mechanic you cannot assume I don't know how just cuz i'm a low rank
Always impossible to measure like this, it's all individual. Some players with less hours are smarter/talented compared to others. And it's not always about the time you play, but with what you do with the time you play. So great video, but i hope people take this and other videos like giving players the rank they think they deserve etc with a grain of salt, it's all individually dependent
I'd say that's a yes at my level. I'm bronze 3 in ones and gold 3 in twos. I think having a teammate can really help or hinder you. In ones you have to use all your skills and game sense to win when in twos, you can be carried or get sabotaged.
@@TorvaElitE my point being that working with a teammate is a skill in itself. I'm champ1 in 2s but plat3 in 1s. My mechanics suck but with a decent teammate we can make up for each others weaknesses
I can confidently say this as a champ in 2's with only around 150 hours or so everyone improves at different rates but it most likely ALWAYS depends on if you want to push yourself outside of that rank. I was Plat 2 about 4 weeks ago and just keep climbing up the ranks and practicing. Watching videos. It's a grind but it is fun.
@@crwiin2691 actually i have like 170 and i just play every day and grind for it and idk my name and disco u guys bad and salty because I train and grind a loot, i actually won against champ 3s one day so
The funniest thing happened while watching this. So I was playing while watching and someone hit the ball and missed but at the exact second he hit it the little rubber ducky sound went off 😃 😀
There is literally no way that someone is plat 3 with 50 hours. I just came back after 2 years, and it looks like the bell curve in ranks had moved right. As in plats aren't what they used to be it seems. So this guy was lucky with placement matches, or carried. Otherwise he is lying about his hours;)
@@SwuaveWEB yes actually I was. You don’t have to believe it, but if your 150 hours in and your still in plat your just slow at progression or your focusing on the wrong mechanics.
I’ve been gc since I hit like 700 hours, almost gc 3 now at 1400 hours. I’ve noticed that most players who have a lot of hours but are still low in ranked never practice. During the first covid lockdown I grinded training for like an hour a day for 2 months and that brought me from 1400 to 1650 mmr in 2 months

@@sparkeo there isn’t 1 tip that works.. everybody has strengths and weaknesses in their playstyle. The best tip i can give you withouth knowing how you play is play to your strenghts in ranked and train on your weaknesses in freeplay.. don’t go for wall plays constantly if you’re not very consistent at them. Try to trust your teammates even if they’re bad. It’s easier to follow up on a m8’s mistake if you let him go to reposition yourself behind him. Spookluke gives really good tips about this.

I just think the way you phrased it is hilarious. "For those who don't know". Makes it sound like most people in the community were following your suggestion.
Sincerely, the plat guy has definitely more than 50 hours, probably a has a second account with many more hours at about the same rank. I'm currently between D3 and C1 and learned how to wavedash, speedflip, basic air dribble, etc at around 100 hours or less. Sure, but the game sense starts to improve only at around 200 hours or more (currently at 268 hours) . It is definitely possible that he can do all that rather simple mechanical stuff but to have a game sense like that in 50 hours? No shot, not a chance. in 50 hours of gameplay you still ram that ball like a bull when you see it in front of you. We've all been there, let's not hide it. Good thing that he doesn't start shooting the ball with the corner of the car and speedflipping on that field within those 50 hours. :)
I've watched Rocket League, and owned the game, since 2015 but never played until a month ago. First time playing I ranked Gold and then promoted to Plat within a week
This videos old but definitely nice to see. I know it’s not a big deal but I stress about hours a lot. I got c1 in under 300 and it feels good but I worry about continuing to rank up fast more than I should
above dimiond you can do almost all shots, so its the point where consistance matters more than skill someone like low hours dimiond can prolly do all the shots as the lot hours dimiond but just isnt confident
I have 2000 combined hours (from PS4 to PS5 then PC). C2 in 3s, C3 in 2s, not ranked in 1s., C3 Rumble. I was concerned that I’m not GC1 yet but if it took 4000 to get it, I’m now hopeful to get it in 3000-4500. I solo-queued GC tournaments and won 3. My ultimate goal is to get SSL (hopefully a pro) in under 10,000 hours. My main practice is playing ranked and freeplay while queuing. The best practice is to play the game as much as possible
well I have 2.2k hours and I'm D1 in ranked and I'm MUCH worse than the Diamonds in this video ... that's frightening To briefly outline how for anyone wondering ... HOW ... that's how: - started playing RL a few years ago with 2 friends (they had already a few hundred hours in when I started) - eventually we got to Diamond - they continually lost interest in the game - now we play a total of maybe 30 matches per season ... like 3-5 matches per month not enough to gain/drop ranks really we go down a few divisions but also up if we have a good day ... but always between Plat 3 and D1 - I'd say at least 1500 of my hours were spent in Casual mode where I have a waaaay too high MMR and where I'm always matched with GC+ and get called toxic for being bad ... but I'm just genuinely bad - I really like the game but my friends don't and don't wanna improve or train or anything ... they only play those few matches for me because that's what friends to ... without me I guess they'd never play Now I don't wanna play 3s ranked because that's what me and my friends play and I don't wanna outrank that (neither up nor down) 2s is hard because the game thinks oh you're good in 3s here have a Diamond Partner and go for it ... but as I said ... I'm really bad ... I would put my personal skill above Gold 1s would work but it's not fun ...
It makes perfect sense that people with less hours would possibly beat the players at same level with more hours.. better at gaming, naturals at this game.. naturally smart at the games.. whatever the case. It makes sense
Champ with 4000 hours: *butchers the wall aerial and passes it right to his opponent* Champ with 200 hours: *whiffs the free shot* Striped: "That shows you that consistency... he only has 200 hours in the game and it's just not always the most consistent." ???
I hit plat 1 at 30 hours and now at 60 i am plat 2-3 And to be honest, I don't know why haha, to me its just the experiences i make that make me improve, like reading fakes, trying to aerial, MISSING, improving aerials, actually hitting them, playing some workshop maps like the aim training one and so on I mean if you dont try to hit aerials or good shots then you cant get better at them right? Also I have some gc and ssl friends that in my first 10 hours introduced me to some very helpful mechanics like halfflip, boostcontrol etc which made me understand the game much faster Watching rlcs helps a lot too i think I think my gamesense is rly okayish, also speedflips in my elo dont mean that much of an advantage right now, since u can e.g. at kickoff kinda see where the enemy drive and just need to react properly to it Trainingspacks help a lot too at understanding physics, especially the crazy goalie ones where it just feels satisfying to save a hard shot
Honestly, i think some of these people lied about their ranks and hours. I have 200 hours and i am diamond 1 but the champ players looked lower than my rank, they were not playing like actual champs do and showed that they are clearly not as good as they say. Good vid tho striped!
to be fair playing in higher ranked lobbies straight away does help you rank up so so fast. i started playing in plat 2 ish lobbies right when i started ranked and im p3 with 50 or 60 hours
Rn im at 44 hours and im at plat 2, then I see this video and GamersRdy says that it takes 500-800 hours. HUUUUUUGE ego boost right there. Keep up the good work Striped ;)
it baffles me that people with 2.5k hours are still in champ while im chilling in ssl freestyling with 2.5k hours the difference is just so big sometimes
I spent over 100 hours playing against bots before I even touched online play. I have young when the game released, seeing my first Arial in ranked blew my mind 😂
You know ow the difference between the high hours and low hours being same rank. The lower hours have spent their whole time grinding nothing but live player matches. While the high hours are using the training mode and bots to practice mechanics. You can only get better by playing real players and you are only going to be able to practice so much in training with out a live opponent to to get good because once you add the live player opponent then all that you practice goes out the window unless you get the perfect setup.
Why would Striped assume that someone with more hours would be more mechanical? My observation from playing this game for 5 years is that it is the opposite. People with high hours for their rank don't put in very much practice learning mechanics. After that many hours they gain ball sense, and a sense of positioning. I would expect the lower hours player to have put a lot of time into mechanics so they can rank up quickly. A player with fewer hours will have less bad habits they need to break. It is hard for a diamond with 4000 hours to retrain their brain to fast aerial. That being said, the plat looks like a Smurf. It would be better if Striped actually verified these accounts in rl.tracker.
I’m a plat 3 with less than 30 hour of playtime (Reason why it’s less than 30 hour of playtime is because, I learn mechanics very fast depending on how I read it, and how the stuff works. I usually watch Rl youtubers on how they use the mechanics, and how they control the car.) Edit: I’m a pc player so it makes it a lot easier than using control (cause I’m more of a pc player than a control player)
a thing that I noticed in every game, is that the guys who tried to dribble normally all had on their ball cam. I learned from a video, to not have the ball cam turned on when dribbling
i am plat 3 right now after around 100 hours, over several years, playing this game on and off for fun with friends. was plat 1 the first time after about 50. i feel like i play like shit, but just being able to hit the ball and shooting in the general direction of the goal, while being able to block shots, seems to be enough to get to plat. i can fly a bit, i can do basic dribbling movements. i can shoot the ball and fly after it, to hit it again. but if there is anything done ON THE WALL i whiff. everything. i simply can't figure out how far i am away from the ball and just drive past it, or under it and whatnot. i am trying to hit it again and again on the walls, using ballcam and turning it off, but it all feels so incredibly weird and hard to do. i feel like i can't see what i want to see. seeing how long the average needs to be plat, was definitely surprising to me, i thought i was bad at the game. i tried learning fast kickoffs and i just can't do it. its way too many buttons and small movements. i am unable to tilt the stick like 30° or some shit. i either hit it full up, to the side or 45°, but no inbetweens and i honestly don't want to bother learning these things, but when i saw the 500-800 hours, i was thinking that i'd probably get the feeling for it all on my own in time lol.
I got to D1 my first season on this game. Got demoted to plat 1. Now I'm a little over 400 hours and I'm back to D1 but, I still feel out of place. While my game sense was good. I would freeze up when I saw a new mechanic. My goal is to hit Champ 1 before I get to 1000 hours.
The diamond game just shows how some people are just stuck carrying their teammates 😂 honestly diamond 3 has been awful for teammates I have to be on point to win games
Hey striped, after seeing this video, I wanted to say, I hit diamond 1 div 2 the other day, with 85hrs, and, after watching this video, I’m impressed with myself.
i feel like the majority of these ppl didn’t start playing ranked until 200-300 hours played. whereas someone like me who only played ranked hit C2 in 500 hours. so it’s all relative
Very clear to me that nobody in this video knows how to properly calculate hours. If you started playing after season 3: Time in game (in hours) * 2.1 If you started playing prior to season 3: number of matches played * 0.175. No chance some of these kids were the hours they said. NO CHANCE.
when I was 4 days in game or 88-90 hrs in I reached Plat 2 in 1v1 and 2v2. I was thinking that my progress is very slow as it was like 1.5 months irl. but recently I realized my progress is actually pretty good lol
To check hours played do you check profile ingame or steam hours played? Because my steam is at 700 and ingame says 120. I may have a habit of main menu lurking
is there a way to see how many hours you have in the game including freeplay and training packs? cuz ik that u can c ur hours in the in game stats but they only count the time spent in a casual/ranked match

True. Im d2 in 2s and im D1 div 1 in 1s and i really suck at it so i dont play it
I'm diamond 3 on 3's and 2's. Never spent time on 1's but I'd honestly say I'm like gold at best 😂
All gamemodes are kinda in sync from the ranking. Except 1v1.. im like d2-d3 on all gamemodes i have ranked in. But im in plat 2 i think in 1v1. And 90% of the ppl km facing are also like d3 or sth in 3s and 2s.. the ranking is just different there somehow.
So i think if you are diamond 3 in 3s and 2s. And get to d1 in 1s. You are really good at 1s

First game really shows how much you can be affected by your first impression. The 50 hours guy had demonstrably better mechanics and showed it repeatedly throughout the game, but it was ignored because striped had already made his conclusion that someone with 50 hours must've gotten there from game sense while someone with 1500 mist be stuck there because they only have mechanics
or maybe bc he a liar... no way that dude has 50 hours.just look at how he plays

Currently D3, got 24 days and a couple of hours. Literally learned all my mechanics always playing ranked.
Always impossible to measure like this, it's all individual. Some players with less hours are smarter/talented compared to others. And it's not always about the time you play, but with what you do with the time you play. So great video, but i hope people take this and other videos like giving players the rank they think they deserve etc with a grain of salt, it's all individually dependent
Is 1s the best way to test this though? I'd argue 2s is a better all-round test, I'd be interested to see how that would affect the results
I'd say that's a yes at my level. I'm bronze 3 in ones and gold 3 in twos. I think having a teammate can really help or hinder you. In ones you have to use all your skills and game sense to win when in twos, you can be carried or get sabotaged.
@@TorvaElitE my point being that working with a teammate is a skill in itself. I'm champ1 in 2s but plat3 in 1s. My mechanics suck but with a decent teammate we can make up for each others weaknesses
I can confidently say this as a champ in 2's with only around 150 hours or so everyone improves at different rates but it most likely ALWAYS depends on if you want to push yourself outside of that rank. I was Plat 2 about 4 weeks ago and just keep climbing up the ranks and practicing. Watching videos. It's a grind but it is fun.

There is literally no way that someone is plat 3 with 50 hours. I just came back after 2 years, and it looks like the bell curve in ranks had moved right. As in plats aren't what they used to be it seems.

@@sparkeo there isn’t 1 tip that works.. everybody has strengths and weaknesses in their playstyle. The best tip i can give you withouth knowing how you play is play to your strenghts in ranked and train on your weaknesses in freeplay.. don’t go for wall plays constantly if you’re not very consistent at them. Try to trust your teammates even if they’re bad. It’s easier to follow up on a m8’s mistake if you let him go to reposition yourself behind him. Spookluke gives really good tips about this.

The fact that defenestration actually means, “The action of throwing something out of the window”.
Sincerely, the plat guy has definitely more than 50 hours, probably a has a second account with many more hours at about the same rank. I'm currently between D3 and C1 and learned how to wavedash, speedflip, basic air dribble, etc at around 100 hours or less. Sure, but the game sense starts to improve only at around 200 hours or more (currently at 268 hours) . It is definitely possible that he can do all that rather simple mechanical stuff but to have a game sense like that in 50 hours? No shot, not a chance.
in 50 hours of gameplay you still ram that ball like a bull when you see it in front of you. We've all been there, let's not hide it.
Good thing that he doesn't start shooting the ball with the corner of the car and speedflipping on that field within those 50 hours. :)
I've watched Rocket League, and owned the game, since 2015 but never played until a month ago. First time playing I ranked Gold and then promoted to Plat within a week
This videos old but definitely nice to see. I know it’s not a big deal but I stress about hours a lot. I got c1 in under 300 and it feels good but I worry about continuing to rank up fast more than I should
above dimiond you can do almost all shots, so its the point where consistance matters more than skill
someone like low hours dimiond can prolly do all the shots as the lot hours dimiond but just isnt confident
The Less hours GC has lesser hours than the More hours Plat
Go back to school, that sentence didnt make much sense
I wish Striped could’ve gotten the 10k hours in gold guy to play
I have 2000 combined hours (from PS4 to PS5 then PC). C2 in 3s, C3 in 2s, not ranked in 1s., C3 Rumble. I was concerned that I’m not GC1 yet but if it took 4000 to get it, I’m now hopeful to get it in 3000-4500. I solo-queued GC tournaments and won 3.
My ultimate goal is to get SSL (hopefully a pro) in under 10,000 hours. My main practice is playing ranked and freeplay while queuing. The best practice is to play the game as much as possible
well I have 2.2k hours and I'm D1 in ranked and I'm MUCH worse than the Diamonds in this video ... that's frightening
To briefly outline how for anyone wondering ... HOW ... that's how:
- started playing RL a few years ago with 2 friends (they had already a few hundred hours in when I started)
- eventually we got to Diamond
- they continually lost interest in the game
- now we play a total of maybe 30 matches per season ... like 3-5 matches per month not enough to gain/drop ranks really we go down a few divisions but also up if we have a good day ... but always between Plat 3 and D1
- I'd say at least 1500 of my hours were spent in Casual mode where I have a waaaay too high MMR and where I'm always matched with GC+ and get called toxic for being bad ... but I'm just genuinely bad
- I really like the game but my friends don't and don't wanna improve or train or anything ... they only play those few matches for me because that's what friends to ... without me I guess they'd never play
Now I don't wanna play 3s ranked because that's what me and my friends play and I don't wanna outrank that (neither up nor down)
2s is hard because the game thinks oh you're good in 3s here have a Diamond Partner and go for it ... but as I said ... I'm really bad ... I would put my personal skill above Gold
1s would work but it's not fun ...
It makes perfect sense that people with less hours would possibly beat the players at same level with more hours.. better at gaming, naturals at this game.. naturally smart at the games.. whatever the case. It makes sense
Champ with 4000 hours: *butchers the wall aerial and passes it right to his opponent*
Champ with 200 hours: *whiffs the free shot*
Striped: "That shows you that consistency... he only has 200 hours in the game and it's just not always the most consistent." ???
I hit plat 1 at 30 hours and now at 60 i am plat 2-3
And to be honest, I don't know why haha, to me its just the experiences i make that make me improve, like reading fakes, trying to aerial, MISSING, improving aerials, actually hitting them, playing some workshop maps like the aim training one and so on
I mean if you dont try to hit aerials or good shots then you cant get better at them right?
Also I have some gc and ssl friends that in my first 10 hours introduced me to some very helpful mechanics like halfflip, boostcontrol etc which made me understand the game much faster
Watching rlcs helps a lot too i think
I think my gamesense is rly okayish, also speedflips in my elo dont mean that much of an advantage right now, since u can e.g. at kickoff kinda see where the enemy drive and just need to react properly to it
Trainingspacks help a lot too at understanding physics, especially the crazy goalie ones where it just feels satisfying to save a hard shot
Honestly, i think some of these people lied about their ranks and hours. I have 200 hours and i am diamond 1 but the champ players looked lower than my rank, they were not playing like actual champs do and showed that they are clearly not as good as they say. Good vid tho striped!
Woah awesome video!!👍👍
In 8th grade language arts I learned that autodefenestration is the act of throwing oneself out a window. Thank your Mrs. Adams.
i'm at plat with 15 hours of matches and 50 hours of game time. practice rings map, speed flips, and other random stuff. still getting better
No way these are diamond 3s LMAO
The only thing with having less hours than my team8s is really just being inconsistent in a lot of the complex mechanics.
Really good at conserving his boost.
Me: Almost never use mine.
King having a meltdown be like:
to be fair playing in higher ranked lobbies straight away does help you rank up so so fast. i started playing in plat 2 ish lobbies right when i started ranked and im p3 with 50 or 60 hours
Rn im at 44 hours and im at plat 2, then I see this video and GamersRdy says that it takes 500-800 hours. HUUUUUUGE ego boost right there. Keep up the good work Striped ;)
same species but such individual differences, it's crazy
it baffles me that people with 2.5k hours are still in champ while im chilling in ssl freestyling with 2.5k hours the difference is just so big sometimes
I spent over 100 hours playing against bots before I even touched online play. I have young when the game released, seeing my first Arial in ranked blew my mind 😂
You know ow the difference between the high hours and low hours being same rank.
The lower hours have spent their whole time grinding nothing but live player matches.
While the high hours are using the training mode and bots to practice mechanics.
You can only get better by playing real players and you are only going to be able to practice so much in training with out a live opponent to to get good because once you add the live player opponent then all that you practice goes out the window unless you get the perfect setup.
Is 160 hrs p3 close d1 any good? Im decent with mechanics but i make up for it with game sense and rotations.
Why would Striped assume that someone with more hours would be more mechanical? My observation from playing this game for 5 years is that it is the opposite. People with high hours for their rank don't put in very much practice learning mechanics. After that many hours they gain ball sense, and a sense of positioning. I would expect the lower hours player to have put a lot of time into mechanics so they can rank up quickly. A player with fewer hours will have less bad habits they need to break. It is hard for a diamond with 4000 hours to retrain their brain to fast aerial. That being said, the plat looks like a Smurf. It would be better if Striped actually verified these accounts in rl.tracker.
I’m a plat 3 with less than 30 hour of playtime
(Reason why it’s less than 30 hour of playtime is because, I learn mechanics very fast depending on how I read it, and how the stuff works. I usually watch Rl youtubers on how they use the mechanics, and how they control the car.)
Edit: I’m a pc player so it makes it a lot easier than using control (cause I’m more of a pc player than a control player)
a thing that I noticed in every game, is that the guys who tried to dribble normally all had on their ball cam. I learned from a video, to not have the ball cam turned on when dribbling
i am plat 3 right now after around 100 hours, over several years, playing this game on and off for fun with friends. was plat 1 the first time after about 50. i feel like i play like shit, but just being able to hit the ball and shooting in the general direction of the goal, while being able to block shots, seems to be enough to get to plat. i can fly a bit, i can do basic dribbling movements. i can shoot the ball and fly after it, to hit it again. but if there is anything done ON THE WALL i whiff. everything. i simply can't figure out how far i am away from the ball and just drive past it, or under it and whatnot. i am trying to hit it again and again on the walls, using ballcam and turning it off, but it all feels so incredibly weird and hard to do. i feel like i can't see what i want to see.
seeing how long the average needs to be plat, was definitely surprising to me, i thought i was bad at the game. i tried learning fast kickoffs and i just can't do it. its way too many buttons and small movements. i am unable to tilt the stick like 30° or some shit. i either hit it full up, to the side or 45°, but no inbetweens and i honestly don't want to bother learning these things, but when i saw the 500-800 hours, i was thinking that i'd probably get the feeling for it all on my own in time lol.
I got to D1 my first season on this game. Got demoted to plat 1. Now I'm a little over 400 hours and I'm back to D1 but, I still feel out of place.
While my game sense was good. I would freeze up when I saw a new mechanic.
My goal is to hit Champ 1 before I get to 1000 hours.
If these guys are champs then I'm a pro in disguise, chilling in p1
The diamond game just shows how some people are just stuck carrying their teammates 😂 honestly diamond 3 has been awful for teammates I have to be on point to win games
Hey striped, after seeing this video, I wanted to say, I hit diamond 1 div 2 the other day, with 85hrs, and, after watching this video, I’m impressed with myself.
Thats incredibly good
U defo have no mechs but still nice
The fact some people have spent straight 100’s days is mind boggling
i feel like the majority of these ppl didn’t start playing ranked until 200-300 hours played. whereas someone like me who only played ranked hit C2 in 500 hours. so it’s all relative
Very clear to me that nobody in this video knows how to properly calculate hours. If you started playing after season 3: Time in game (in hours) * 2.1 If you started playing prior to season 3: number of matches played * 0.175. No chance some of these kids were the hours they said. NO CHANCE.
