Actually, I think the best way to describe Platinum is to say that it is a transitory period where people try their hardest at things that they can't do properly, or with huge mistakes. They start to try aerials with air rolls, they try to dribble, air dribble, wall plays and so on. But as they only experiment these (and so try their hardest to do it on every little occasion, making them ballchasers btw) they do it very badly, as we can see at the beginning of the video at around 1:40 . Hope that my comment will be read, and if you don"t think i'm right i will be pleasured to hear about your opinions.

I see platinums as players who are quite skilled, but in pursuit of mimicing Champions or Grand Champions they completely neglect basics. To put it simply a typical Platinum player is someone who will most of the time miss the ball in the air, miss simple balls, overcommitment and have no idea where teammates are on the field, but ocassionally given time are able to do super skilled stuff.

This annoys the shit out of me, honestly. Players who, for some reason, feel the need to play 'backup' by sitting in your shadow and huffing your exhaust fumes. Then as soon as you've made a single touch on the ball they swoop in like "my turn now" to brainlessly pelt it into the general direction of the opponent's net, regardless of where they are on the map. Like, for fuck sake, just let me make an actual play. You don't need to sit behind me 'incase I miss it'. Just go somewhere else and give me some space so I can pass the ball to you properly.

Hi

I'm a plat 1 and my mechanics are exactly as they should be for my rank, no overkill but also not Bad. I'm properly rotating and all that. I only found myself stuck because teammates won't rotate or because of my faulty Decision making and consistency in shots. The problem with that as my consistency and decisions become better is that I can't make up for mates missing rotations. I've had everything of teammates from taking the ball from me while dribbling to sitting in the net the whole match. 😂

By support of team Plats could do more impressive goals and in 1v1 Plats just need to get through that one opponent player and then there is nobody to defend the goal, so its free goal then.

I couldn't agree more. However, still part of the problem... But if I may... As a plat, these games happen maybe 1 out of 7 times, in 3's at least. And furthermore, this is moreso a shining example of the teammates I get. I'm not saying that I don't belong where I am, just saying I wish the whole plat rank was a bit more devoted to the game, and hungry for wins. The worst thing is when a team goes up by 2, even if it's only a minute and a half into the game, at least 1 teammate immediately wants to forfeit. It's pretty disheartening. Regardless though, he's not wrong... The truth is just a bit painful.

Would be interesting if you actually had different ranks try this strategy and see how viable it is at different ranks and where it tends to break down.

The problem in plat is that we(I am one myself) are extremely inconsistent in our plays and the skill is indeed unbalanced. If I were in a position like the guys in the first game I'd also kinda suck at attacking because my plays come from improvising - If the ball is in the air in front of the net I go for it, but I'd not be able to set up such an shot

For real, whenever I am trying to get my “saves” challenge completed I just camp in goal in casual, and they can’t even put it on target 😂

Yeah I don't get why he's acting like this is an exclusively platinum thing.

In plat, the winning strategy is to just take as many on target shots as you can. They don't have to be good shots, but if you just lob the ball at the goal, you'll probably win because people aren't good enough to rotate properly or consistently make saves.

"Plats can airdribble now, I didn't know that" Plats in 2022:

They’re probably very confused over the fact that you didn’t hit the ball at any given chance

Came to the comments section to say this. Wayton's playstyle against these plats in the first half of the vid would have been interpreted as odd or even trolling, just constantly giving them a ball, zero offense, and having the entire team stay in net... That's probably why the enemy team gave the ball back to Wayton at one point, it's a way of communicating "c'mon let's just play the game". It is true that at Platinum most players don't understand the concept of maintaining possession of the ball. Most games consist of clears, centers, and shots.

yyou're absolutely right about that. plats dont know what to do with the ball when they are given space. I've been ranking up 3 divs from plat 1 to 3 just by playing slow and fake challenging. they can only chase!

@@tinasthemeyay I don't think its so much that they are asking them to play. Rather, I think it's just that plats score off of counter attacks a lot, often taking advantage of their opponents poor positioning. You can see why when you look at the shot the plats generated in the first clip. They failed the dribble and the shot. Quite clearly, these plats didn't have enough mechanical skill to generate a good shot without having a real counter attack.

I’ve been mainly training dribbling for this reason - I notice we have space, so I go for a dribble and I can’t set up my flick fast enough. That, or my teammate hits it off of my car

Not only that but in the process revealed flaws in the plat strategy: - not pushing when you have an advantage - rolling the ball towards the net when attacking instead of giving it some height and speed - not using your teammate - overcommiting when going for more mechanical plays - being out of position To get into diamond I began working on centering the ball for my tm8 to score (even setting up self goals by the defense), patrolling mid field, and sniping shot after shot from midfield. It's impressive how something that simple can get you so far.

Please don't use this strat, it will drive diamonds insane when you get there. Just keep rotating and pressuring plays.

Me as a plat: “I’m just here so I can get out of Gold.”

I was stuck in plat for sooo long then I just suddenly jumped into diamond and had been stuck there forever then they did the more recent mmr adjustments, now I'm in Champ 1 probably stuck forever because I can barely do aerial consistently. It's like the original season Champs that are still playing, they were no better than today's diamonds. Crazy to see how much better lower ranks have gotten

So, I can 100% confirm this strat. I realized early on that plat players tend to chase so I would just clear the ball every time it came into my area near net. One added bonus, you can become really good at long hard shots with time. This is effective until maybe diamond 1/2 but then rotation is a must.

Anytime a “plat tournament winner” shows up in ranked or casual, i know im gettin the dub

@@scubasteve6175 how many plat tourneys have you done? Sometimes you match up against diamonds doing double taps and fast aerials, other times you face golds with a good history in tourneys, leading to a high MMR for them. I just recently got back to diamond MMR, and I 100% get carried in diamond tourneys cuz I'm still only plat 2

As I've played for 1 year and I'm still in plat, thanks for finally showing how insane plat lobby's really are. Its truly gonna be crazy in a few years just watch.

I found this encounter even in diamond tourneys people will have one guy sit in net and your teammates can’t dribble or power shot and will just give away possession lmao

my friends and i were messing around in casual 3s and eventually in comp with only playing defense after we were ahead and it took like a whole minute for them to push up on us

"mechanical player" and "platinum" in the same sentence...

This probably happens way more often in low plat. When you reach plat 2 div 3+ u notice how everyone plays smarter and better. Probably because the high plats are closer to diamond lvl skill and lower plats are closer to gold lvl skill (especially with the mmr increase).Now even in high plat people sometimes make mistakes but it's not as often as it might be in low plat.

1 fact and 1 truth

Honestly, back when I was down there in like gold, I knew one man back in net was bad, but I used to get mad when someone did that on the other team...because we couldn’t score. Now that I have the ability to control the ball how ever I want, I’d score on pretty much anyone if they are sitting in net

As a once hardstuck plat, I can agree. I was stuck in plat for a month and the second I got a couple divs into diamond I skyrocketed. Im now d3, I was p3 a little over a week ago.

Wayton: "platinum is the *worst* rank in Rocket league" Me in silver: "what is platinum?

Plat is so frustrating because people are good enough mechanically on offense kind of but nobody understands rotation and it's so hard to predict your teammates because every game is so unpredictable and solo queue is a mess

I pretty much instantly got out of plat once I started getting more consistent, in good moments they have the mechanics of a diamond but you need to do training packs until you aren’t letting in as many easy saves and missing as many aerials

9:13 When my teammate passes the ball to the other team all game and im wondering how hes the same rank as me and then they pull this shit off.

playing as a solo, climbing through plat, in my opinion in some cases it was easier for me to give the ball than fighting for it in their corner. it was just easier and more secure for me to block the attack.

9:28 as a diamomd-plat player, this is very true, you go squishy mode then after a goal youre a silver

i was hardstuck in gold 3 for 4 months straight, then finally reached plat 1 after my 3rd most stressful game defense-wise, and then watched this video ☠

My brother and i recently started playing and im plat and he’s silver. When we do 2s i play everywhere and he sits on defense bc we get queue with other plats mostly. And can confirm this stuff happens all the time. We only do it because its situationally better for us. He struggles hitting the ball still so when theres a wide open net he’ll find a way to choke lol. So he’s mainly there to stop counterattacks and hope for something miraculous

The title: *offends me immediately* Me: *clicks video knowing I may get offended* Also Me: Comments before watching the video.

okay when i finally got plat i was like “wow, i’m so good now” and then you explained why plats are bad and lemme just say- it. makes. so. much. sense. 💀

i remember i was only plat for like a season i think, back in like 2017, i started getting better after the ranks switched back to what it is now, cause it was like the rising start shooting star all of that stuff

im a solo 3v3 ranker, and i average rn diamond II, when i get so unlucky games and get to plat III its just feel like hell to get back the rank.

In plat you wait in net, that is the key to getting out of gold and getting through plat. If that means we're bad then so be it
