Of all the ranks, GC is the one rank where it is perfectly acceptable to sit at that rank. SSL is a super rare rank in very limited quantities. And GC is the highest rank below the elusive SSL. It’d be embarrassing to be hardstuck gold or platinum for years because it only takea a few hundred hours played to get to diamond usually. But getting GC means you are in the top 1%, and bridging the gap to SSL would take thousands of additional hours played.
@Jonathan Lopez I recently don't play the game as much as I used to I've been 1 game away of gc multiple times and I'm already gc in tournament but I just can't get 2v2
This doesn’t surprise me at all.. just being able to stay in GC for the past 8 season, it’s taken a large amount of constant improvement for me, and a commitment to practice more than I ever have. I’ve improved slightly to GC2, but not by much. Newer GCs still have a lot to work on, and the skill gap to get out GC is pretty large
This for me, I 'quit' RL on new season 3 and peaked at 1660 mmr, it's been a struggle winning games in like 1550 mmr now people have gotten so much better
@@TrixonGames 500 hours to get from gc1 to gc2 is not that much. When grinding I put in 40-50 hours a week. But I'm still only at 1300 hours and C3. It's kinda bad that I can never get to SSL because it takes atleast 5000+ hours if you are quick about it. To get that amount of playtime means putting in 24 hours for 200 days straight. 💀 Try doing that while in a relationship and having to work.
I am a Nintendo Switch player... This is so painful... I'm in Gold 3 with a peak of Plat 3 after 1000 hours... I feel like i should quit Nintendo Switch and start playing on PC after hearing this... I wasted so much time...😭
But is a person hardstuck even if the go from GC1 to GC2? I think the difference between GC1 and 3 is massive, so any progress towards that shouldnt be called hardstuck imo (unless you are constantly ranking up and down)
@@PantsofVance I'm so impatient, if i dont rank up consistently in 1 month i'm angry at myself, even a week, gotta take your comment and practice patience ahah
Hey, Napkin! Just wanted to say, you are definitely the Rocket League creators I've watched. Every single one of your videos entertains me and motivates me to play the game. Also what is great about the motivation part is that I'm unmotivated. I am hard-stuck diamond. My teammates cannot play the game lol. But I finally got to champ and got the rewards. Much love to you and god bless you.
love the vid but tbh the freestyle point goes to the hard-stuck gcs tony scored a ceiling to a musty and double-tap and I don't think the last touch by munchy was intentional I'm also hard-stuck😂
I used to be gold when I started playing on and off. Within the last few months i started playing semi consistently and climbed up to diamond. I expect to wallow here for eternity.
@@owenthorpe2435nah champs are literally better at everything and it’s definitely noticeable. Since I’m hard stuck diamond 3 I can say for certain champ and diamond is different
@@jaycraw6500 well, for me at least, I've hardly changed since I had my long stint in high diamond. Still cba to learn aerial mechanics, car control air rolling is very basic, don't play 1's etc. xD I feel like mechanical skill is waayy overrated compared to just a little bit of thought on how not to lose a 50, or checking where a teammate is edit: definitely different, but not as big of a gap as I think a lot of people make out.
like wtf I was gold in S1 and barely touched the game after f2pS5 save for S6 and im d3/c1 I might’ve made it to gc if I hadn’t quit, probably for the best though as I clocked in more than 500 matches per season before that and I had school
Loved the vid! Could you make your microphone mono and not stereo, though? Bothered me a bit throughout the vid with you off to the left side. Not nearly enough to ruin the video though, loved it!
I'm an old GC, first one is og Season 10, which was 2019, meaning I've been hardstuck 4 damn years. I didn't really play ranked much, I stuck mostly to casual and dipped in solo to get my rank in s10, 11, 13, 14, and new season 10 so like I'm well hard stuck. I haven't even bothered to make the push for gc2 or 3 though I think I'd be capable if I just knuckled down and practiced. The only reason a new gc would have an edge is because they're likely a younger player, not as many learned bad habits... Or at least the bad habits that have been learned haven't sunk in for 3200 hours. I'd love to partake in something like this tbh. Edit: Also for stuck GCs, you should use the old GC logo lol, feels more apt
Personally I think even if the old player is better the new gc will have more potential and probably be higher then the hard stuck gc bc he is still improving. Also not hard stuff in bad habits. Most hard stuck gcs just have bad tendencies. Which if they got out of more than likely would start improving
ever since i reached the diamond ranks, there was only ONE time i reached champ1 div 2 and immediately gone back to diamond in a couple quick losses :D i never like practice the game in freeplay or the training packs, so im not expecting to ever get out of diamond
I know someone who's in the top .1% in all stats has 15000 plus wins and is almost 50 years old. He's been playing for almost 3 years and can't get outta plat.
I have been hard stuck for 2 years in gc myself. I don’t even know how I’m there my mechs are no where near this level lol. Would be cool to do a video I think my friend and I are the worst mech gc’s in rocket league.
You should do a video titled "1 Vs. 10,000 hours of rocket league" and have people do 1v1s like 1 hour gamete vs 10 then 10 vs 100 then 100 vs 1000, 1000 vs 5000, 5000 vs 10000 etc
I used to be hardstuck in plat but now I'm diamond, if you want to get better you might just want to take a break for a couple months and come back, at first you will be worse but then you might get un hard-stuck.
