Rocket League Players vs the Rank They Were Before They Quit 

That was hilarious, those GC guys seem hella chill. Seems like the break helped their humor and positivity LMAO

Very interesting video. Sometimes when I take a break for a month or two, I come back and feel like I play a bit better than before. I float between champ 2-3

It was an honor to be in the video thank you Cbell!

I quit the game about 2-3 years ago, being rising star at the time I quit. I came back, did placements, somehow got diamond 1. THEN I proceeded to lose the next 10 games in a row after placements xP

“I suck in the air” I thought the same thing you did. That edit actually made me laugh.

Heyyy that’s me! Thanks for letting me be a part of this video! I had a lot of fun!

Yooo! Guy here! CBell thanks a million again man, this was an unforgettable experience. Xeyxra was the best teammate I ever had.

was so much fun participating, thanks for getting me back into the game !!

Loved that the randomness had genuine laughter and good times. Those retired GCs seemed like they were real life teammates having too much fun. Enjoyed 👍🏽

For everyone trashing the diamonds, what you should do is save the replays of your next 5 games, then go back and count the number of times you outright miss the ball. Whether a hard whiff, accidental backflip, misread or bad prediction, accidental back flip, bad aerial, etc. You'll probably be surprised by the results. Hell if you really want to humble yourself count the number of bad touches you make (sending away possession, centers to no one, weak touches one powershot attempts, strong touch on soft touch attempts, shitty clears, lost ball control, etc.) This looked like a not atypical diamond game. It might be lower end of quality for a diamond game, didn't look like they were playing their best, but not that uncommon to see games that look like that in diamond. People tend to forgot their worse games and remember their better ones. We have a distorted view of our own play and we selectively dismiss our bad play as "outliers" and think of our best play as "our real skill level". Anyone who thinks "there is no way those guys are diamond" is being delusional.

I was shaking so hard lol I completely forgot I even applied for the video lmao. I dont really care about getting roasted bc they obviously dont know how scary it is knowing thousands of people will be watching you......... I also cant do anything under pressure..........

Hey, I was the TTV xeyxra in the GCs and just want to say thank you for the opportunity it was very fun.

I want to see a rematch between the guys in this video in like a day or two, when their mechanics are back

Bro the gc game helped my day thanks cbell and the gcs for bringing a great ending to the video

as a retired champion 3 from having to quit due to school and sports it's really cool to see how muscle memory and everything stays from not playing it makes me feel like I should play again as I have more time

I quit for about 8-9 months, but I started watching RU-vid videos. When I quit I was gold and hated the game. After watching a bunch of videos gave it a second try, now i enjoy playing. Got up to diamond for the end of last season. I feel like the time off gave me time to forget bad habits that were holding me back.

Honestly, the Diamond guys make a really fair point, if the ones who haven't played in a year were D3, and the ones who still play are D1, then it's a no-brainer that the retired D3 guys win.

I was pushing C3 when I took a break for a year. Came back to find myself in high D3 and low C1, but I'm really enjoying the game again

Thanks CBell for having me in the video!

Thanks for having me! Was a ton of fun :)

wish i saw you doing this, used to be c3 havent played in a year, would hvea been interesting to see if i could smash some champs

IDK who CBell is but it was nice of him to make an appearance in a Rua video

Those GC guys seem like they've played with each other their entire lives lol love the vibes

This is a great video!, ur content is amazing

I’m a retired player of probably 6 months and watching the retired diamonds and champs play brought back memories, both good and bad. My peak was about 5 games as a champ 1 before deranking to D3 again and quitting the game.

You don't count up for rank inflation. When there are more people, the bell curve of playerbase gets wider. So with one year retirement their previous rank could be already some other. But low ranks could shift in other direction.

Anyway this was great fun to watch as always, how you always find the funniest players I don't know

This video was so good, especially that last match, so funny and wholesome.

Did CBell accidentally find the new Rizz and sizz combo, that was great lol

Vid idea: all of your controls on 1 button. (u might need to bind some to a different button if u can’t move) I know other people have done it, but it’s just really funny to see them do it.

I love your vids so much keep up the good work man ❤

Great video, if you do this now it would be crazy with how much the skill level has improved overall

This has given me an idea of getting my season 5 GC friend (before SSL existed / not free to play) to get back into rl. I kinda wanna see how they would stack up against current gcs. It would be funny to watch him get clapped xD Edit : he claims to have not played in 2+ years

I havent played since they got rid of the knockout gamemode, that was so fun and the fact they havent brought it back yet makes me doubt they will again, which is a shame cuz that game was so unique and fun

Love the edits

I'd love to be featured in one of these types of videos. These are fun! Also those retired GCs getting waxed and laughing about it the entire time was gold lol

Finally a video about this. Last time i was Gc in S14 and when I came back in S6, I still managed to get Gc1 somehow. Excited to see how others have done.

This went exactly how I expected. Diamond is the most unpredictable rank so game sense retired could beat poor game sense currents. The rest were ez wins for current players because muscle memory alone would be good enough and they likely had some game sense at least. There are no game sense plats so they never stood a chance as retired plat vs current

The GC game lol I kept laughing all game. These guys are hilarious!

I love this Idea!!!!!! I love players vs the rank they think they deserve, but this video is similar but different and is really good:)

I quit years ago due to one of my normal players I teamed with turning outright toxic. Day after day he would just get angry and start Driving around flipping himself over bashing me out of the goal In competitive matches So I quit playing with him But the entire experience Kind of soured me on rocket league as a whole Going from right below grand champ and getting drug back down towards star over and over again. Got to me. I finally started playing again a few days ago and real talk rocket league muscle memory is a crazy thing. I'm still doing aerials, getting saves. Even got placed div 1 of diamond 3. Damn near champ. After years of not playing. It felt good but if I can manage to get to champ after less than 20 hours of being back and barely 400 hours while the other guy is to this day hardstuck in champ after damn near 7500 to 8000 hours it is going to feel amazing. I might even send him a picture saying something about only took 20 hours.

Bruh the editing is 👍👍👍👍👍

I love watching the last ones play. It pleases me to see them having fun.

You have to take into consideration that free to play made it easier for people to climb ranks with the new rank and the abundance of new players so really new plats should be like gold and new diamonds should be plat

Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

Those GC seem like such chill and kind ppl

Big Noah them aerials need some speed bro

Those guys had me dying. I need to have the spirit these guys do lol.

1:17 man ive had a white basic xbox controller for nearly three years now and ive dropped it multiple times and down the steps. Still works like a charm no problems

Nice Video! Very entertaining! Im struggle with quitting, cause there are so much smurfs nowadays - ranked isnt fair anymore... from 10 Games, there are 8 with one, sometimes with two smurfs in the opponent team - Accounts with 50 wins in total at c3.. its so sad. I love this game since 2015, but it makes no fun at all to get beaten by players who playing like gods from your own view and after getting beaten so hard, they making fun out of you and insult you too. Since season 14 i was grand champ - this season barely make it to C3 ... Im frustrated :(

It’s funny, I quit RL for like 3 seasons or so and I was hard stuck in plat 3, me and a friend got bored of 2k and hopped on. We played our placements and I was D2 Div 5

I stopped playing at GC1 about 9 months ago, started again a couple of days ago and have not regretted it at all

Wrong replay on champs' second goal lmao, btw very nice vid

One of those diamonds have played recently because they had the bronze ranked goal explosion from like last season

I wasn't playing for more than 2 years(before the game became f2p), was stuck at plat 3 for months and never got diamond(in standard mode), when I came back to play in January, I got D3 in about 2 weeks, and in February I got champ(everything in one season). I thought that the level was lowered(by a lot, I was crushing plats when I came back). Cool video.

shouldve put the retired GCs against the champ players

That was great! I was diamond 3 div 2 and got back into it after a year last week it’s rough but I placed diamond 2 in rank.

I came back to rocket league after forever, I not only have the veteran tag, I was around when the tag semi pro was a thing(which I had btw)

Gc guys are the most chill at of all of them to seems like the break might’ve helped mentally lmao

When are you gonna post the underratted freestylers vs pro freestyler part 4?

Those retired GC’s just carried the video

Did we just become best friends!? That seriously was one of the most enjoyable things I’ve ever watched.

I WAS JUST GOING TO DO A VIDEO LIKE THIS, Great Video!

Honestly, after being a GC in season 13 and quitting for 3 years, this makes me feel good. I feel like I've retained about as much of my skill as these GCs have, even though I was gone for way longer, even if my MMR was higher than theirs when they quit. I was feeling discouraged not being able to keep up and thinking I was just never gonna get back up to my level, but knowing that other people have the same experience really makes everything better :)

Definitely feel this. I haven’t played in probably 6 months due to moving and internet issues. Can only play offline. I peaked in champ when I played consistently. Now it’s like I’m a gold. Ik what to do I just can’t lol.

Nice video!

Ngl at least for me. Stepping away helps me because when I come back I’m not thinking about all the things I need to improve on and where I messed up, I’m just trying to do my best yk, muscle memory comes back within a game or two even after years of not playing tbh

I didn’t play for 3 years and when i came back i still somewhat remembered what buttons to press

Last summer I finally got GC in doubles but barely played during the school year, so now I’m mid champ 2 lol. I feel extremely slow and inconsistent but also that if I put it some more time I could get get close to where I was.

Hey I was the new Plat thanks for having me!

2:30 Lmao "*laughs in retirement*"

Cool video as always even tho, I haven't seen, it all yet, still good, video

I took a break for like 6 months. When I came back I played better than before. I went from d1 to c1

I quit the game since 2020 but still watch the creators cuz they are amazing ^^

i was rising star when I quit, came back did the placement and got Plat 2 ish and now c1, I feel like people just got better at mechanical stuff instead of game sense, because I have no mechanical skill and some how I hit c1 with pure simple play and game sense.....

i was d2-d3 2y ago when i quit, itd be fun to see what diamonds are like now lol

0:33 pov you play kbm and don’t know the struggle of controllers disconnecting. (My controller sucks and the cables just kinda fall out sometimes and it sucks)

I pretty much took a break for over a year (I hopped on every once in a while but didn't grind or anything), and when I came back, I hit my peak (c3) within like a week, felt pretty nice especially since my mechanics felt much worse than before lmao

I had a break from rocket league for about five months cuz my pc stopped running it properly (lag spikes, high ping, low fps and fps drops) I got a completely new pc a few months ago and i've been playing again since then and now im close to gc2

Wow... My friend and I haven't played the game in 5 YEARS and just recently we got back into it playing for fun so seeing this video I could relate to it a lot. I used to play so competitively back then but now I just like playing the game for fun.

same also those daimonds i played where next level they probably peaked ad daimond 3 or champ 1

I stopped playing rockero league for 9 months, I was C2 and when I came back and did placements I was D3 and quickly got back to C1. Crazy that basically all my mechanics stayed, just my positioning is lacking

i had quit rocket laegue too for 2 months, 2 weeks ago i came back and im better than before I think i might be able to get champ now, unfortunatly lost most of my freestyle skills too componsate for that i started to watch Thanovics tutorials

I was Diamond 2 (playing 2s with my friend) when I retired about 1 and 3/4 years ago. I just got back into the game last week and I felt similar to these diamonds. My unconsistent mechanics are completly gone (like air dribbles etc.) but muscle memory for strengened mechanics like half flips etc. were still there. Game sense hasn´t suffered that much aswell. Now I can still hold myself in Diamond 1 (single queueing) even though I´ve heard, the MMR limits have been changed in 2s.

i recently started playing again and the only reason why is i had connection issues and i started playing other games but now my games are super smooth a lot more often for some reason so thats good

Love the video! I'm a c3 average have been c3 for YEARS I solo queued into GC new season 4, but I want to say Cbell if you quit for a year you would still be c3- GC when u have 2000+ hours in something kinda hard to forget... I played guitar hero as a kid on expert hyperspeed 5 bet I still could 😅

I've started playing again at the start of the week, after not playing since season 4 or 5, i used to be be Diamond 2-3 and I've just hit Champion 1 last night

Its very interesting, I once quit for almost 3 years an when I came back I hit champ for the first time on my first day playing

I cant wait for knock out to become a permanent Playlist. I think it could have its own larger community inside the scene and competitive and psyonix tournaments for it would help blow it up

Nice vid

quit the game for like 6monts was almost diamond in 2s, when i came back climbed to champ, so taking another 6monts off so i get to gc

i stopped playing for a few months after the lamborghini update because my controllers cable port became lose which would make me dc all the time. when my new controller arrived it took me a about a month to get back to my old strength.

I quit when i was peaking in 1s at plat 3 div 3 and 4 but quit since couldnt progress to diamond after a couple weeks of being there then came back and went to d3 idk if i did get better alot but definitely the break did help to an extent

I was a diamond switch player then quit cause friends moved to different games and so did I trying to get back into it a bit

Them GC's were so funny to watch lol!

I took a 7 month break last year, and when I hopped back on i played much better than I did before. I sometimes take week breaks so that I clear my head

I stopped playing for a year, was at C2 in 2s, was pretty rusty but I've managed to reach after about a month, won all my placement matches

I was in champion then quit for 2 years and wow did people get better

i dont play rocket league for 2 years now and i think that the rank is easier now i dont know if its just me but some freestyles i see in diamond or champ did i when i was in gold or silver i would find it better when the player dont played it for 2 or 3 years to see the difference great video♥

when i quit for 2 years i was champ 3 div 4. i came back and was dia 2. lol was so painful getting back to champ 2 where i currently am at. also noticed that the ranks seem worse than when i quit.
