Dear Platinums, I was wrong... (im sorry) 

Okay.

I’m plat Wayton, and I accept your apology But do I?

Tes analyses sont uniques, je regrette de ne pas en saisir tout le sens du a mon niveau d anglais mais je dévore tes video avec grand enthousiasme a chaque fois !

Kind of mad I’m a plat, I watched this whole video thinking it was legit, then the ending pissed me off. Edit: I’m diamond now, you can stop giving me tips, though I broke my wrist, so I can’t sustain diamond. Another Edit: Now i’m champ, and people are still seeing this.

@@mythicvibes5871 spend more time in freeplay then and be the change you want.

@@mythicvibes5871 it's the truth, alot of people have hit plat before it's not hard to spend some time in Freeplay and learn rotations, you just gotta have that last braincell to get out, I hope you find it!

Yes its like he anyway got to champion in the long term. Its just that in some games your teamates can be so unbelivebly terrible, that you have no chance to win matter how good you are and then after regonizing your teamates are terrible. You start playing the passive gameplay tactic of defending goal all time, until you get counter attack and so you can push to try score, but them your teamates are even more annoying, when they as terrible players copy the same tactic, when they should be better and not copy you, if you are better, than them, when it just increase your loosing chance, so its sad how terrible mechanics and terrible brains they literally got. Its that maybe some players never improve in mechanics, when their brains are just so terrible, while some players got very good rotation, but bad mechanics, when got big brains, but still not put enough hours into the game to become better with mechanics, but thats why they so high rank early, because simpy their brain rotation, while lack the mechanics that they will get over time, but these certain players got way too small iq and so I dont think theit mechanics ever improve, when its just so stupid and mindless rotation from them. If you better, than the average player in the lobby. Overall in the long term of playing you should improve your rank, while some games your teamates can be so terrible and opponents so good that you got no chance to win the game, but its okay, when you still get mechanical experience anyway from the game, so to next games you have better mechanics and larger chance to rise up rank, but Rocket League is just playing a lot games and, if you better, than average you should rank up, but you will not always, when sometimes its simply being unlucky, but the game has the same chances for making you great teamates and make the opponets have terrible mindless players, that got terrible mechanics and terrible brains to play the game.

@@thomaspelling1741 probably, this comment is over 3 months old so who knows.

@@anthonymorris8891 lol true didnt look at that

I mean why do care so much that you cant play alone.

This comment and then his response to this comment is the most platinum thing ever.

I love that conclusion

Bruh that teammate was like -12 stats

I always get so excited when the complainer leaves, because we usually score within 30 seconds.

at the start of the season with the mmr dip i got put into plat tourneys. teammate left before final but we won a 2v3. i suppose that situation makes you focus much more on positioning in a rank where not many others do 🤷‍♂️

I know this is late but I'm in the exact position (d1 2v2 p3 3v3). I hate playing 3v3 because it's a bunch of headless chickens running all over the place

Not every aerial needs to be scorable but both of them didn’t need to go up that’s for sure

@@thund3r94 and they probably tried to score with those aerials

I would've been one of those plats...

@@thund3r94 They probably weren't even facing the enemy goal, they probably started the "aerial" at the enemy goal aiming it at their goal and missed it

I agree with @thunderstorm that not all aerials need to be shots. People need to open their mind up more to the idea of passing plays, it is a team game after all. Does that mean that the aerials that the original comment was referring to are passes? No. They probably weren’t. But there is obviously a barrier in communication and it is difficult to tell the intentions of your teammates, so just stop finding faults and start finding opportunities. Some of my favorite games are the ones where I don’t constantly second guess my teammates and instead just go for what is available, and usually that is a better way of adapting to a new kind of playstyle than to insist that everyone plays in a way that makes sense to you.

Nah, diamond is one of the best ranks.

In plat I learned to not be the hero but the side character and you may win more often

We learn to discern when to blame and when to understand, as we have all been there.. yet its an individual choice to remember one's training, to role play/rotate and to be wholesome. Oh.. It's also important for everyone to know how soccer works.. In my experience I've realised that most RL players are not into soccer/football at all and dont understand that you need a goalie as much as a striker... and that you cant have 2 men on the ball.. and so on.. Teamwork makes the dream work.

true

@@TheGuyWhoCantPickAName bro thats so funny and true

Im champ 3 in 3s and even i struggled to get out of plat in 2s and other modes untill i learned the ultimate trick to win against plats. Play goalkeeper and and learn to revert the ball in a way it directly aims towards enemy goal. Plats are allways out of position, they dont rotate, allways a free goal.

Gil - as a true plat (3s and 2s, Gold 1s) myself and a realist, you gotta be braindead to disregard the truth about platinum rank; platinum rank is the bronze of seasoned players. If you play Rocket League for 3 months or more, platinum is guaranteed as a minimum rank. No way around it. I myself will curse my teammates, of course, but I also realise, there is a reason why I am there teammate, I am platinum also and therefore just as bad as they are. I think most plats know they are bad.

i literally skipped from Plat to C2 just because i went on a massive mechanics and positioning grind. i think alot of people dont realise how much positioning really matters when you want to win. of course having fun also helps too.

I made a new account after being hard stuck gold and have been winning every game. I hit diamond in 3s. like what.

@@reneticsk You got carried to diamond then. 3s sucks ass and doesn't take nearly as much thinking as 2s and especially 1s. If you want to seriously play 3s with no bullshit you can't solo queue. Or you just improved massively in that short amount of time and would rank in diamond in 1s as well

all of champ is a shitter rank, its gotta be the most inconsistent rank right after plat, although i had a gc teamate that missed the same last shot that waytons teamate missed so idk ig everything before ssl is bad

Same problem just with 100% bot teammate streak with my friends, I am all about the mentality but if I can mint up my skills, then I can hopefully get my Silver 1 friend and freestyling Plat 2 friend up off P1

No

Man said slums lmao

It is technically not smudging if ur learning something new. I mean if your a controller player and never played kbm, and then make a new account just for kbm, your not smurfing. Your doing something what is completely new for you so that doesn’t count as smurfing.

There are more potential viewers as there are more plat than champ players, that's all.

trash but easy content

I'm GC1 and I've been smurfing in plat since I was probably C1-C2 because that's where I practice my mechanics. Me and my doubles partner ff and give wins to everyone who stays to play against us. I'm much more of a mental/rotation-minded player and not mechanical whatsoever for my rank, so it helps me to put mechanics to the test that I practice in training because if I can land it on plats, then I'm ready to try it against GCs. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with it. I can practice against real people and get better in the process, and they get a free win. And if someone goes afk or leaves the match, we instantly ff to give the other person the dub. Plat has got to be the most toxic rank there is (champ 2 is a *close* 2nd) and I honestly just don't feel bad for them because it's so easy to get out of it once you learn to pass the ball and watch enemy cars. If you disagree or hate me, please respond telling me why.

reply section cringe.

i got out of plat by hitting nutty stuff and going backpost because i like to hit clips

I was stuck in platinum for like a year. Would consistently get to plat 3 and get stuck. The way I got out of it was (1) training enough to be consistent with open shots from different angles and (2) learning to hit or clear the ball off the wall. I don’t mean shooting the wall hits into the net either; I mean hitting them just enough to either stop/slow a drive from the opponent, or to help push a clear from a tm8 further out. Good luck!

mrknapkin says mechanics do matter in plat and he said it should be the priority

@@christiantaylor1495 Yeah, basic mechanics. As in, learn how to control the ball, and hit the ball *how* you want and *where* you want. Basic aerials involving getting to the ball fast and putting it where you want it. Plus learning how to move aorund the field effeiciently (recovers, wave dash, etc.) NOT mechanics in the sense most people mean, i.e. double taps, resets, ceiling shots, flicks, air roll, etc. Mechanics are absolutely a priority, but once you feel confident in your basic control of the ball, it's 90% game sense and decision making that will get you up to champ.

I get this in gold all the time, as well as plat, I go to plat, get 5 of these in a row and back to gold, then constantly in gold too.

Not to mention your own teammates dunking on you.

Yep, those matches are really frustrating, just ping pong the ball until someone opens the net and the game ends in 1-0.

i have an idea, if u get a lucky game with a good teammate, partY up with them! or if u have cracked freinds, and cuz of that plat 3 was too ez, just breezed through it

i was platinum. that is true but one of my diamond friends (who i actually got coached by) got me to d1 div 2

You get bad teammates who play like silver and you get mechanical gods sometimes, and then you get some actually good teammates. Platinum is truly the worst rank and I just want to get out of plat as fast as possible so I can actually get smarter players consistently lol

@@C1el-_-.1 I'm d1 now but i cant describe how often i ranked up in platinum, won games in a row and then lost games in a row because of my teammates. I mean i had a lot of good teammates but many mates are not good.

Yeah I’m a plat, but I can’t tell you how many times I will have teammates that seem more like a silver than a plat.

I played my last 3 duo placements and 2 out of the 3 games my teammates didn’t do anything. I would pass back to my teammate for an open net shot and they would be in my goal “defending” and then miss the ball when they went to hit it, if you truly want to get out of plat I feel like you have to play with someone who you have great chemistry with and is around your skill level. Also learning new mechanics helps too Note: I’m still about Plat 2 Div 3

That wouldn’t of happened if you used “half a brain”.

I just got of plat it’s not us if you actually play good it your teammates play style I like staying in the back not being aggressive so if I had a teammate that dose do the same thing it’s difficult to rank try to play with the aggressive if your not aggressive also we solo cue a lot don’t do that

This is why I think new players should mess around in casual a ton before going into ranked. I personally never landed anywhere below diamond because I spent a lot of time in casual when I first got the game.

GrandpahGamer back with more quotes

"new player" lol I've spent many a toddler naps getting up to plat 3 :p

Grandpah - I think plat is the casual of competitive ranking. What you said is true, I am plat because I am bad and I am bad because I refuse to learn the game. I ain't got time for that, I just want to play competitively and see where I rank.

Thanks, I’ll give it a go! I’m stuck in plat 2 :(

There was one game, where I lost 2:3 and thought I couldn't do nothing in those 3 lost goals.. I thought this game was impossibru to win. But I decided to save a replay and watch it... And I saw that in every lost goal I could play little better and probably saved a goal, so watching replays is very useful thing.

I've watched a few tutorials on rotations and positioning but I find them hard to apply in my rank (usually plat 3) since my teammates are unpredictable and I'm not good enough to adapt to them.

@@mailletf just sit behind at backpost and dont jump - opportunities will come by themselves in that level :)

If you are in plat and you're blaming your teammates - You are wrong and dumb and bad

@@thebeast6494 the thing is, you won't win every game. I agree there are times when you just can't win a game because your teammates are bad, but that still doesn't mean you're stuck in a rank because of it. Think of it like this, even if there's one or two bad players every 3v3 game, you only have 2 teammates and 3 enemies. That means there's a higher chance those "bad plats" are on the enemy team. If you truly are better, you eventually rank up.

@@ric6611 This is something 90% of bad players can't understand. They refuse to believe they are the reason they are stuck so they blame things which are out of their control. If you can't escape plat you are just straight up bad at the game.

Funny how so many people blame bad teammates as the reason for losing. if you really think most teammates when solo queuing are bad, you should realize that the other team is also most likely dealing with teammates that are "bad". 😂stop making excuses and just learn to adapt to your ball-chasing teammate and win.

watch the whole video

I have made an experiment where I played on a brand new account 10 placements and in 4 of the games I was against a party/team of smurfs, or my team mates did not simply "have a brain" quoting Wayton. They go for challenges, aerials, boost!! without thinking of the consequences, tunnel visioning on showing off their mechanics or just ballchasing like its freeplay. It is very rare to find a team mate who actually understands the basics of the game! Once you get them on the team though, it is instantly noticable and even lost games but with a good team feel good, as we feel like we performed well but still can look at what to improve on. Whereas in an unfair matchup that is impossible due to the variables.

I feel like RL don’t want you winnin all 10 placements lmao happened to me was gonna be champ 1 in 3s but last placement team8s had no brain

I relate to 3 on a spiritual level

When your rank is settled you still get ~ +10 MMR per win. His point is not that it’s not okay to be in plat. It’s just that it’s the worst rank. “Anyone with half a brain would get out of it.” If you really think it’s such a sacrifice of “fun” to position well and play defense then that’s why you’re stuck in diamond/plat.

I don’t find playing defensive boring at all lol idk why so many thinks it sucks

Just play 1s. No teammates and u improve a lot. Then u queue 3s and shit on opponents easily even by playing offensive

Just hit champ with 100 hours on the game

@Alexanderthegreat 🤓

Im like this with gold / plat, I get stuck / beat back down between them..... I get team mates that I've had better games with literal new players than them, and I'm like, how the heck are you this rank? and unless you can 1v3 you lose. or, well, I do... it's really bad too, cause it's made me have a ball -chase habit that I know is bad, and mostly to completely disregard my team mates because I 9/10 games can't rely on them at all. I'm better at the game, but those habits make me lose just as much as the team mate thing.
