I agree with what you said about lower ranks, I'm d2 and you really just cant trust teamates. About 7/10 games I get either an afk, a dc, someone scoring my own net because he "lost last game" or someone trash.
HOW TO IMPROVE POSITIONING AND GAME SENSE 1: Double touch 2: Double touch again 3: Carry the ball at full speed around the pitch multiple times then ceiling shot
Right I was dying is team mates are like WTF is going on here haha and the opponents are all sad as fuck about it. Would be honored if they knew it was squishy I bet
@Zek XI on steam I think you do have to buy it twice. I share my library with a friend and he can't go on competitive, it says he has to purchase the game to do so
kylo 262 it’s so funny because i get exactly why they were so mad, yet crispy collin didn’t give af he was just clapping back and enjoying getting his ass HARD carried
you are one big moron... No one is complaining about smurfing cuz that... People are complaining cuz he is not the only one... thousands of people are doing this... That's why it's wrong... And why making a series road to GC? Like it's any achievement to do that... First, you already did it, second woow what an achivment. You'll go on date and be like, hey I'm GC in RL... wooooow Fuck this series on YT it's like encoureging people to do that
You don't know what smurfing is if you think Squishy's Road to GC account is a smurf. It's just a different account that will (very, VERY soon) be in a more appropriate ELO for his skill level. He isn't doing this to beat up on low ranks - he even tries to restrain himself from straight up montaging on kids. Thousands of people are smurfing because they're a) either tired of getting smacked at their rank or b) trying to get a higher rank by using a new account's ELO malleability to rank up because their main might be soft locked at DIII for example. If we're being really nitpicky about whether Squishy is smurfing, ask yourself: do you honestly believe any people outside the top 100 can give him any sort of challenge? Squishy is creating this series because many people enjoy watching how the quality of games improve even between 2 games. While he plays in these games, people of all skill levels can learn how to navigate certain ranks because Squishy gives his tips on how to improve these ranks. That's why he made this series. He's teaching us how to get better at any ranks. He could care less about getting GC, and you're really missing the point if you think that's why he's doing this. As for your last point, if you aren't a GC-caliber player, you can't just wake up one day and decide "Hey I'm gonna smurf and get GC."
Yea that's all true, but you know how many people out there are Smurfing... When you don't have a whole day to game and you want some fun and you encounter smurf game after game, it's not anymore like oh ok but its fking annoying. That's the only reason why I hate pro players play at lower levels... Games should be made so you can only have like one acc or something like that.. how? I don't know And you can't expect anyone to win or do anything against him up to diamond... I'm diamond 1 to 3 (jumping up and down with 300 hours) And I don't think I would do shit against him
As a very low rank I would've welcomed an opportunity to play against GC (even better a pro like in this case). Save the replay and watch. And anyways people who make this kind of a series it's only a few matches that it takes to go up from the lower ranks. The real issue is the super salty community Rocket League has and people start whining from the slightest of things :P
I'm actually not okay with this series. Let's be honest, we're not learning anything by watching squishy style on some silvers and golds. It's entertainment for sure. But his claim is this is to help people understand how to rank up. Nobody is learning anything from this. I would be more okay with it if he held back from scoring and just be there for defense and ensure the win, not stump on low ranked players. Mr. Squishy, if you get to read this, please make this your approach going forward. I recognize you as one of the best in the game, but I feel for the players who express anger and frustration.
i played a 2's game where there was an opponent hitting crazy double touches when I was around gold and it pissed me off. I can totally relate to these people getting angry. Now if I knew it was squishy it'd be a completely different story
@@zer0w0rries96 you're missing the point. This series is meant to help those who want to get into the next tier of ranked. Most of us who watch Squishy are at least Diamonds. Anyway, he asked the viewers if they wanted to see placement matches and they said yes so your issue with the series should be an issue with the people who voted for it. Once he hits the Plat/late Diamond and early Champ ranks a ton of people will learn and take away a great deal from it.
You have the right attitude and more people need to buck their ideas up and try to learn things if they want to prove at this game. I did a GFinity with my friends back before RLCS 1 qualifiers kicked off and matched up against The Flying Dutchman and got spanked. I saved the replay and saw how fast and calculated they were compared to us. It's an experience anyone who truly wants to progress should have and be grateful for.
I gotta say, I was eager to watch this series because in episode #1 you talked about how you would go into details about each division and possibly how to learn how to break out of each rank, which seemed to match up with the "RTGC" theme. However, these episodes seem more like just clapping on noobs and very little commentary about what these players specifically need to do be better. Even though there are some funny moments, I feel like this series is kind of lost on some of the original context. Either way, thank you very much for the content. Peace :)
I'm not sure if he's even able to give much more advice than he already has. I don't know what rank you're currently in but if I was in squishys place I wouldn't know what else to say. I do agree with the whole "the placements are kind of unnecessary" opinion but tbh he plays like that in his rank aswell
The problem with trying to commentate on what people should do at this rank is trying to pick from a massive list of things to say. His opponents are out of position, double committing, whiffing, etc. on every single play. He hit the nail on the head by just telling people around this rank to get their mechanics down. Game sense comes through time and becomes almost intuitive. I'm sure he'll be more in depth at higher ranks because they will make minor mistakes that can be addressed case-by-case as opposed to massive mistakes for the entirety of the game.
The best way to get a Pro's advice on a lower level match would be to have him commentate over a replay analysis of the game. There really isn't a lot Squishy can comment on from his own perspective, and when lower levels play against ridiculously good opponents, they would likely play much more frantically and thoughtlessly in an effort to keep pace with them. At least in a replay analysis Squishy would get to see a normal match up from 4 people's perspective.
I have recently watched a replay coaching in Overwatch from a former professional coach and he said: If I coach a Grand Master player I will be hard on him and nitpick every single mistake that he's doing. If I coach a Silver or Gold, if I did the same thing, the sheer amount of mistakes I would have to point out would overwhelm the player. So you have to restrict yourself and point out the biggest mistakes that prevent someone to climb ranks. This is perfectly applicable here.
eye tracker would be great! would definitely add another layer to the controller overlay, I tend to look at opponents and teammates to see where they about to hit the ball too, but I don't have consistent plays to read balls yet so I can't do that too often :
you can tell by the way that they play. play 1v1s, by the time you hit diamond 1 in 1v1s you'll be able to tell when an opponent is starved or low or full.
I’m diamond 3 in 1s and I still have a hard time with it sometimes (although I’m pretty awful at 1s still ngl). The simple way to keep track of someone’s boost is to notice when they either 1. Pick up a boost pod (full boost) 2. Do something that takes a ton of boost (aerial, hold boost down on the ground, etc). Once you start keeping tabs on those two things you can kind of start feeling out when players have enough boost to make specific plays. Sometimes you can also tell purely based off of how a player is positioning and driving that they are out of boost too..
keep an eye on your opponents, like squishy said; I play 1's alot and watching your opponent is more important than hitting the ball, also you're able to boost starve in 1's so if u see someone slow, hangs back and plays safe, they're usually a. low boost or b. faking their boost count (which is rare but I do that in 1's a lot)
Enjoying the series Squishy, I know you may feel conflicted playing against lower ranks but it's all in teaching and a bit of entertainment along with some funny salty comments. I'm in Diamond and I've gone up against some Champs and GCs, but I just take it as a learning experience and still try my best and put more effort into thinking how to score and/or defend against them. IDK, some people just give up right away and don't want to figure out how to "git gud" when playing against a higher ranked player. I could understand their anger if they constantly went up against higher ranked opponents and kept losing, but it's a one-off thing, so yeah don't feel that bad for them Squishy. The lower ranks are always the saltiest, at least in my experience. Also, enjoyed your stream yesterday. I don't watch streams often, just catch them when I'm able to. Edit: Since there are only 4 games left, do you think you can finish those last 4 in one video? Like a "bonus" game for watching the Road to GC Series thing for us?
Illuminate I No not in comp LMAO! In casual only. I know that would never happen in Ranked matches, unless they use a Smurf account, which I've seen a few of those and lost badly. It's easy to pick out the Smurfs from someone who is legit for the ranks you're playing in. And if you have Overwolf, like myself, or AlphaConsole, you can see their actual MMR even in Casual matches.
Illuminate I I do play more casual than ranked lately, especially since I'm in S.Korea at the moment. The guys out here are SUPER toxic and they play just for Solo plays. I know it's like that back in the US as well, it's just it feels WAAAY worse out here. Not only that, my ping is at 80-90 on a good day, but mostly in the 110-120 range. So yeah, I'm not gonna play ranked with that kinda ping.
Honestly you did JUSTICE to the first game. You helped your mate get back what he lost because he had troll last game, and you took away what the other guys got unfairly by playing against someone who was intentionally throwing.
They will ban someone for smurfing, depending on the context. Here, Squishy started a brand new account and is simply playing his placement matches to get his rank up, as the game is intended to do. However, if he created this account solely to pop-off or clip on noobs, or to boost an account, then yeah, he might get banned.
That's funny because no one is reading rules but you should start to, because Psyonix wrote "smurfing was not allowed if you wan't to play and stay in lower ranks than your current rank". So now instead of saying shit because they are "tilted", read the rules ty. And ofc they are titled because they can't do nothing about this game so it's a free lose.
@@c9zyra294 relax dude. A "free lose" like you said will not derank you or lose any progress you've made before. Play against better player allows to get better and better. You discover how they place each other, how they hit the ball, why they won and so on. The problem here is people usually want to have better ranking without learning and training anything. If you play against way better people than you just a few games, it's a huge opportunity to learn something from them
I love these videos! I think you should find little challenges to make the games closer, like no boost or no jumping during the placements games until they become difficult. Keep up the good work I love your vids!
You should promote this series whenever some1 gets pissed at you. I for one learned a ton of positioning, game speed and challenging awareness by watching your vids. Keep up with the good vids :)
Hey man, enjoy the videos you put out really enjoy this Road to G.C. I'm excited to learn some of the better fundamentals. I do have one suggestion and you may already do this. I think it would be really cool if you signed the lower level players profile (under your Squishy account). This way they get something out of being completely destroyed while they're trying to rank up. I remember going through the lower ranks and getting frustrated when a player much better would come in and dominate. I play on Xbox so I don't know how long it takes to sign a profile but just thought it would be a neat gesture. Once again, appreciate the content you put out there!
I love that ur not toxic about playing the low lvls, I know how frustrating it is being in gold and facing ppl leaps and bounds ahead of me. Great vid man 👍👊
yea but these hardstuck idiots would rather complain and claim that smurfs are ruining the game instead of realizing that they're stuck because they suck in some aspect
Sometimes matchmakers really match them up multiple times and also they might meet different smurfs for each consecutive match tho.+they mightve been trying to climb for hours to get into the next rank and that match is probably going to rank them up/bad team8s/tilt. U think that these low ranks wont feel indignant when they meet a smurf? Ur not the ones that are losing. They are.
@@helloallegro9750 they don't know that feeling............I met a lot of different smurfing players while I was in low rank, it was really sad. Then I turned to play casual to improve my skill BECAUSE I AM SURE I CAN'T LEARN ANYTHING FROM SMURFINGS. If you guys met the smurfings when you were noob, you won't know how he plays that well. You don't know how to rotate . pass or aerial that well. Even if you save the replay, you won't know what his action/moves means. (oh yea btw I back to rank and rank up to diamond 2 after playing in casual for one season. And the next season I got the champion1).
VOICE CHAT FIX: Just take it out from your key blinding. By having your Air Roll on your L1 and your Scoreboard on your R1, you are using R1 for 2 things. It's pretty clear because whenever you look at the scoreboard you "accidently talk".
Love the series Squishy. It's sad to see so much toxicity. I understand them being upset as I've been there... struggling to win games and then getting some crazy good player in the lobby that just reks everyone. Dont let it get you down. This series will help so many more people than it "hurts".
What is quite funny about this series is I have done the exact same thing, but what you come to notice is that it is kind of annoying and hard to play lower ranks during placements and general wins. Since the opponents and team mates whiff the ball a bunch because they are still improving, you tend to get faked and tend to miss some basic backboard shots, ceiling shots, etc. I think for some reason in our minds when we play ranks like bronze-plat, we assume we should win every game and feel like we have a reputation to hold up to, which we do. Since that feeling is in our minds, we almost play worse at the game against the lower ranks until we are in home territory of champ-gc and then we tend to feel slow for a small while until we get back into the swing of things. I think it is quite fascinating how our minds act that way, even in a game where we know we can do very well, but somehow the feeling of playing with lower players and thinking we need to be on top, just tends to send us down in our actual mechanical ability. I noticed this when I was especially in bronze-gold, then my speed sort of came back once plat, diamond, and champ returned.
I just want to point out that I think people have the wrong mentality when playing a pro or GC. You should be honored to play someone like Squishy, someone so good, a top 10 player in the world. I mean I'll give up a loss ANY DAY for that chance... I'm C3 atm so I play GCs fairly often but I love it, it's great practice. If you are a plat player playing a GC, how often are you going to get the chance to do so? Just save the replay, watch from his view and learn some stuff, it's worth the loss imo. You are going to lose thousands of games in your RL career, just embrace the ONE loss when you play a Pro, because you won't get the chance to play a pro fairly often, probably never as a lower rank. Even as a C3 I rarely get the chance, but when it does it's amazing, I'll ride the loss with a huge smile on my face :).
Nicole Ashley Well imo there's a huge different between playing someone and watching someone. It's much easier to recognize someone's speed and play style when playing the person versus watching. When you get to higher rank, like C3-GC, you start to play the same people a lot. At that level its easier to learn people's play styles over time. But it's something you learn through playing them, at least that's how I learn. Also when you play the person you can save the replay, and analyze the game and look at different player perspectives to see what you could of done differently. This is very important, something you will never learn about yourself by watching another person's stream. Lastly, it feels way better to PLAY a pro rather than watch one, even if you are a plat player. This is just my mentality, maybe it's different for everyone else. I enjoy playing a pro whenever I get the chance, it really doesn't come that often. Even though the odds of winning are pretty low, playing the pro can actually much better help you compare what you are doing versus them. It's just way easier this way than watching. Don't get me wrong though, I watch Pro youtubers on a daily and learn a lot from that, both are very good ways to learn. The more you watch pros on YT and the more you play people way better than you, the better you will get. It is always a positive thing to constantly play better people, eventually over time you will adapt to their speed and learn from them, it's very important to actually get hands on playing with people better than you in order to improve.
Jason W it’s different when you don’t have a clue of who it is and your getting smurfed on . I’m the guy in the last game . It’s so frustrating just trying to get into diamond and I get smurfed once a day. Love squishy to death. Hate getting smurfed
You won't get banned because your a GC on a new account and there's no way of skipping placement matches and going straight to champ so they can't complain everyone has to play placement matches
same man, stuck in diamond 3 div 4 for ages, then dropped down to diamond 2 after solo queuing trying to get over the line to champ and just gettin some bad luck with the teammates I got lol, so keen for when squishy gets to diamond
He going to say what he said in this video. What got me through to champ was better positioning against opponents touches and for teammate passing. The most important thing though is no hesitation. You gotta commit to a play. When you watch squishy play his mechanics are going to overshadow these small tips. But if anything watch his boost management, shadowing, and when he decides to retreat based on his teammates play.
You need to just learn mechanics as much as possible bro, these will carry you through the ranks easily wave dashes of the walls, half flips are all a big part of ranking up and of the most important mechanics
I've played countless games against GCs and P1s and up, and have always found there is more to learn. I'm still unranked but I just recently got started. Been playing for a couple months and tbh I always save the replays and watch it over again with the players that showed exceptional performance throughout the game.
I really want to see (when squishy is in the higher ranks and a pro joins the game, like Rizzo) Example : The Chat : Rizzo has joined the match Rizzo : Oh hi Squishy Road to Grand Champ : Hi Rizzo P.S I also liked my own comment cause nobody else will
I don't know why they're so mad. I hate when I get to play with people too good in my team; I hate getting carried. In fact, if I ever play with you, I'd like it to be in the opposite team, simply because playing against people better than me is what makes me push my limits and forces me to be better myself. Nice series, will be checking back soon.
I’m only champ one but I like the comment on being confident. Something that helped me a lot was just going for the ball it helped me to learn to fly more and getting used to mechanics of the game
I love that argument people used in CS aswell, "oh you just smurf cuz you cant play at your rank hurrrr" Well if you got to your rank its obvious you can play at that level, and maybe some people like playing with friends that are lower ranked.
No you wont get banned for smurfing unless you're doing to to boost someone for cash. The reason they get mad is because in their eyes they fully believe that they are way better than what they actually are and their skill group, they fully believe that everyone else is lucky and that they are a god. For about a year now i've dedicated time to gather enough information from players to actually conclude that only 1 in 6 fully accept their own skill group. Even in higher rank do ppl play like shit because in their eyes what they do is the right thing while others suck. I cant tell you how many Diamond 3/Champ players ballchace and throw them self in to every challenge there is or just have extremely bad positioning in general because they don't understand the play as it develops, the inability to read teammates and opponents or understand the basic for how the ball actually moves.
I'm C3 in 2 and 3, have been gc a few games and will hopefully have my 10 wins. You can't believe how many people still chase or play so terrible compared to some others that I honestly respected so much for their skill. Last night I played multiple gc's and I would've thought they were C2 max. Depends on the good/bad days but some are just extremely lucky to get their high ranks (I guess?).
@@EnzoV1993 Yeah, but so many are getting legally boosted these days and only manages to say in the rank because he's mates are good enough to fill in the blank spots. I keep going inn and out of C1 because some of the people literally play like the just got out of gold. I would know because i deranked so many players the last 2 months i had to play my way back up from plat 1 to Diamond 3(I always play alone in 3s and 2s. don't play solo standard). But still there just seems to be no ending to the amount of players that just chace, stay way to far back, never rotate, miss every ball or who can't even clear the ball in a normal fashion.
"Smurfing" but your username is "Road To Grand Champion" How is that smurfing? I mean, placements are a thing they should know. This is basically a compilation of people calling Squishy a smurf lmao
When I play against a very good opponent, its a fantastic way to improve my reading and my abilities in defense. I am happy !!! Ppl trigerred by smurfs are just dumb angry kids. Smurfing is nothing, you meet a smurf on 100 games ! It does change NOTHING to your game or your ranking. People want to be with players better than them, they want to play against noobs opponents, they want to carry and be carrid at the saùme time, but they never want to improve their skills by their own... Trashtalkers, whinners, etc... These guys need to shut their mouth and learn. And if one day smurfing is banned, i sware i create 100 accounts to insult psynosix. I cannot play with my low level friends because of Whinners. They totally destroyed matchmaking by complaining to the devs... So the devs said : you play with your noob friends ? they will NEVER enjoy the game, you will play against higher level than the best player of the group !!! Damn loosers... You ruined rocket league for noobs, trying to be the bests with no effort. You are killing the game for new players, tryhards noobs... By insulting every bad player, and insulting every good player.
I actually don't mind the odd smurf in rocket league, but playing against smurfs in something like CS:GO SUCKS because I only have time for 1 or 2 games a week because I only play with my friends and we all work odd hours, so when one of those games we just get destroyed for 30 minutes that isn't fun.
Standing greater than Jesus, was the man Squishy. Who continued his quest to help those who dream of his power in spite of their resentment towards him for it. xD
It's because they watch pros play on youtube and think that they are better than they actually are. It makes them frustrated because they think" well if he can do it and make it looks so easy then it must be easy." People at lower ranks want to be good and want to be the best without putting any significant effort into it. Rocket league is a game that takes a substantial amount of time, practice and effort to be good at.
True and also for me I've been diamond 3 for about 600 hours so alot of the toxicity comes from frustration of playing and playing and playing and never improving whatsoever, then seeing some god of RL come and do everything you have worked for so long to do and failed.
I think the best way for the newer players (lower rank and/or tilted players) is to not get ahead of themselves. Ease into the game, it’s not a race to “be the best RL player as quick as possible” Learn the basics (aerials, passing defense, rotation, ground shots and so on) Keep practicing and even change up your camera and controller settings up once and a while just to get a feel for what’s comfortable for you. We’ve all been there, it’s just that we sometimes figure that “well I’ve playing for awhile why do I keep screwing ‘yada yada’ and I’m feel like I’m still not improving” Keep this in your mind, WE ARE HUMANS WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. RELAX. I have 2000+ hours played and still find myself in the wrong position or missing the ball, but it’s ok because I’ve learned that if I laugh it off and not get frustrated I won’t get tilted for the rest of the match.
CCM_Hockey71 oh yes. Greedy, dumb retreats to get boost, no kick off call or they ignore your call, shitty Rotation and the lack of skill to see opportunities to set the tm8/s up
"What are you doing in Gold?" I just love how people don't even consider that Squishy is in the placement matches! Similar thing happened to me when I went from Switch to PC... but my teammates were mad at how bad I sucked, not because I was a "Smurf"! Lmao! I was in my 10th placement match with Diamonds and I was a Silver3/Gold 1 player at the time!
i was in diamond, was good at freestyling , could do 2 flip resets max ,score 0 sec goals all the time, stopped playing for half a year, got back to playing and the golds are like the diamond players from when i played and tryin to get alot better, but this just shows how the evolution of rocket league works.
I'm really glad that Squishy is not a dick about how good he his. He doesn't gloat or put other people down. Very classy. I just played against two smurfs in plat, and they were for sure champ-level. Which is cool, and I respect the mechanical skill. But the whole game they were calling us trash and telling us to uninstall. It's an ego trip for them, not just a pass-through on their way to a higher rank.

Squishy Muffinz I’m glad you made it a longer vid this time, I enjoy watching your mechanics
you should make a video using rizzo’s controls
I agree with what you said about lower ranks, I'm d2 and you really just cant trust teamates. About 7/10 games I get either an afk, a dc, someone scoring my own net because he "lost last game" or someone trash.
GOAT !!!!!!!
I love watching every single one of these games. No matter how bad they are 😁
HOW TO IMPROVE POSITIONING AND GAME SENSE
1: Double touch
2: Double touch again
3: Carry the ball at full speed around the pitch multiple times then ceiling shot
Lmaoooo😂😂
yeah I expected better from this video tbh, I'm disappointed
I am waaay late to this comment, but big thumbs up man! lol
Squishy: Good Pass Back
Teammate: $#@%!
Keep the chat on, shit's hilarious
Keep it up
Agreeeed!
Right I was dying is team mates are like WTF is going on here haha and the opponents are all sad as fuck about it. Would be honored if they knew it was squishy I bet
I was rollin 😂😂😂
Yes pls. Keep it unfiltered.
“Enjoy your ban”
Yeah, I’m sure psyonix is so pissed when someone buys the game twice. /s
Zek XI squishy did though, he used his friends account and bought it, dumbass
Zek XI don’t be rude fuck you
Zek XI I might be your mother
@Zek XI ???
@Zek XI on steam I think you do have to buy it twice. I share my library with a friend and he can't go on competitive, it says he has to purchase the game to do so
Crispy_Collin be savage af with the replies
Big faxx
Mr Potato he got me at the: ''Yeah but is that my problem'' haha
kylo 262 it’s so funny because i get exactly why they were so mad, yet crispy collin didn’t give af he was just clapping back and enjoying getting his ass HARD carried
8:30 nice change of subject
Wtfffff
LMAOOOOO I was also like
Is this part of the video??
Squishy: i actually dont want to score anymore.
Scores another 3 goals :D
ZeeVoxify it would be even more boring if he actually didn’t.
Happens every time lol
It’s like telling Trump to not use his Twitter. Ain’t happening.
LMFAO I KKNOW
I mean, if they sucked at defending that, you'd think one would've stayed back to try to at least CATCH the ball lol.
LMAO
*Good pas back*
Tm8 In chat : Shit
2:27
14:07 *Communicates with his random teammate for the first time in his life*
“Always make sure you communicate on kickoff... very important...”
People fanboying over goals in chat or getting mad is the best part of this.
8:30 when squishy uploads
This comment is actually golden lmao
lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂
What is that sound?
who's mark?
Your name is literally "Road to GC" and people complain about smurfing like you're trying to stay in low ranks to ruin their fun. DENSE
you are one big moron... No one is complaining about smurfing cuz that...
People are complaining cuz he is not the only one... thousands of people are doing this... That's why it's wrong... And why making a series road to GC? Like it's any achievement to do that... First, you already did it, second woow what an achivment. You'll go on date and be like, hey I'm GC in RL... wooooow
Fuck this series on YT it's like encoureging people to do that
You don't know what smurfing is if you think Squishy's Road to GC account is a smurf. It's just a different account that will (very, VERY soon) be in a more appropriate ELO for his skill level. He isn't doing this to beat up on low ranks - he even tries to restrain himself from straight up montaging on kids. Thousands of people are smurfing because they're a) either tired of getting smacked at their rank or b) trying to get a higher rank by using a new account's ELO malleability to rank up because their main might be soft locked at DIII for example. If we're being really nitpicky about whether Squishy is smurfing, ask yourself: do you honestly believe any people outside the top 100 can give him any sort of challenge?
Squishy is creating this series because many people enjoy watching how the quality of games improve even between 2 games. While he plays in these games, people of all skill levels can learn how to navigate certain ranks because Squishy gives his tips on how to improve these ranks. That's why he made this series. He's teaching us how to get better at any ranks. He could care less about getting GC, and you're really missing the point if you think that's why he's doing this.
As for your last point, if you aren't a GC-caliber player, you can't just wake up one day and decide "Hey I'm gonna smurf and get GC."
Fax lmao. If i were them i'd be like oh i see. Oh well. Take the L and move on.
Yea that's all true, but you know how many people out there are Smurfing... When you don't have a whole day to game and you want some fun and you encounter smurf game after game, it's not anymore like oh ok but its fking annoying. That's the only reason why I hate pro players play at lower levels... Games should be made so you can only have like one acc or something like that.. how? I don't know
And you can't expect anyone to win or do anything against him up to diamond... I'm diamond 1 to 3 (jumping up and down with 300 hours) And I don't think I would do shit against him
Then maybe get better and get to a rank where you won't meet any smurfs. Lol.
As a very low rank I would've welcomed an opportunity to play against GC (even better a pro like in this case). Save the replay and watch. And anyways people who make this kind of a series it's only a few matches that it takes to go up from the lower ranks. The real issue is the super salty community Rocket League has and people start whining from the slightest of things :P
Slavemaster Saddur you wouldnt be saying the same if you expected a gold 1 opponent and got an actual pro against you..
I'm actually not okay with this series. Let's be honest, we're not learning anything by watching squishy style on some silvers and golds. It's entertainment for sure. But his claim is this is to help people understand how to rank up. Nobody is learning anything from this. I would be more okay with it if he held back from scoring and just be there for defense and ensure the win, not stump on low ranked players.
Mr. Squishy, if you get to read this, please make this your approach going forward. I recognize you as one of the best in the game, but I feel for the players who express anger and frustration.
i played a 2's game where there was an opponent hitting crazy double touches when I was around gold and it pissed me off. I can totally relate to these people getting angry. Now if I knew it was squishy it'd be a completely different story
@@zer0w0rries96 you're missing the point. This series is meant to help those who want to get into the next tier of ranked. Most of us who watch Squishy are at least Diamonds. Anyway, he asked the viewers if they wanted to see placement matches and they said yes so your issue with the series should be an issue with the people who voted for it. Once he hits the Plat/late Diamond and early Champ ranks a ton of people will learn and take away a great deal from it.
You have the right attitude and more people need to buck their ideas up and try to learn things if they want to prove at this game. I did a GFinity with my friends back before RLCS 1 qualifiers kicked off and matched up against The Flying Dutchman and got spanked. I saved the replay and saw how fast and calculated they were compared to us.
It's an experience anyone who truly wants to progress should have and be grateful for.
I gotta say, I was eager to watch this series because in episode #1 you talked about how you would go into details about each division and possibly how to learn how to break out of each rank, which seemed to match up with the "RTGC" theme. However, these episodes seem more like just clapping on noobs and very little commentary about what these players specifically need to do be better. Even though there are some funny moments, I feel like this series is kind of lost on some of the original context.
Either way, thank you very much for the content. Peace :)
I'm not sure if he's even able to give much more advice than he already has. I don't know what rank you're currently in but if I was in squishys place I wouldn't know what else to say. I do agree with the whole "the placements are kind of unnecessary" opinion but tbh he plays like that in his rank aswell
The problem with trying to commentate on what people should do at this rank is trying to pick from a massive list of things to say. His opponents are out of position, double committing, whiffing, etc. on every single play. He hit the nail on the head by just telling people around this rank to get their mechanics down. Game sense comes through time and becomes almost intuitive. I'm sure he'll be more in depth at higher ranks because they will make minor mistakes that can be addressed case-by-case as opposed to massive mistakes for the entirety of the game.
AnconeusRex well said, I never understood people that always wanna know why they are doing bad, play the game, and you will get better
The best way to get a Pro's advice on a lower level match would be to have him commentate over a replay analysis of the game. There really isn't a lot Squishy can comment on from his own perspective, and when lower levels play against ridiculously good opponents, they would likely play much more frantically and thoughtlessly in an effort to keep pace with them. At least in a replay analysis Squishy would get to see a normal match up from 4 people's perspective.
I have recently watched a replay coaching in Overwatch from a former professional coach and he said: If I coach a Grand Master player I will be hard on him and nitpick every single mistake that he's doing. If I coach a Silver or Gold, if I did the same thing, the sheer amount of mistakes I would have to point out would overwhelm the player. So you have to restrict yourself and point out the biggest mistakes that prevent someone to climb ranks. This is perfectly applicable here.
WHY ARE YOU RUINING HIS RANKED EXPERIENCE?
CAN WE COPYSTRIKE SQUISHYMUFFINZ!
ENJOY YOUR LAST FEW GAMES
WHY ARE YOU RUINING MY UA-cam EXPIRIENCE
SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND ENJOY THE CARRY
fiQ I hope this is a joke
eye tracker would be great! would definitely add another layer to the controller overlay, I tend to look at opponents and teammates to see where they about to hit the ball too, but I don't have consistent plays to read balls yet so I can't do that too often :
Do we speak about the 8:30's moment ? "Oh no Mike" or something like that xD
Pottier Ismael it says homework, and it’s on a lofi radio.
loll
Uh yeah what the other dude said
I know right
It is 'Oh yeah Mark'
Squishy: “ I don’t wanna score anymore “
Literally scores 3 more goals
one wavedash of squishy be like 18:35
Lol apparently that was him respawning
that's 1 speedy boi right there! haha
IM CRTYING
LMAAAOOO
Rifqi Ramadhan squishy 69,420 wavedash ultimate speed confirmed
2:28 I love how he says good pass back, but his teammate thinks he messed up in chat.
Lol I’m watching this now. He’s bad in gc so bought a new account.
*wins world championship of rocket league*
Farmer Kip if only they knew
8:28 Uhm squishy? what you watching in the background audio?
Music Promotion dude these sounds are in like every video at the exact same time, squishy’s a troll lol
I think he said it in a Video. That is his Twitch Subscriber Sound i think.
Or it might be something else. He can watch whatever he wants though.
“I’m gonna watch this dude try to demo me” *gets demolished from behind*
I lost it at that part
I could dedicate my life to RL and still probably never be half as good as Squishy
Jeickos you need more than an hour of free play to be truthful. And playing ones will help you learn to get the ball past people and in the net.
Hey Squishy at 11:26 about keeping track about the amount of boost the opponent has, how would you do that exactly? I find it confusing.
Well if you see a player picking up boost you can kinda judge when he has very low and a lot if you are watching him enough but its really hard.
you can tell by the way that they play. play 1v1s, by the time you hit diamond 1 in 1v1s you'll be able to tell when an opponent is starved or low or full.
If he is flipping a lot or hesitating (or not going up for any aerials) and moving quite slowly it is likely that he is low on boost
I’m diamond 3 in 1s and I still have a hard time with it sometimes (although I’m pretty awful at 1s still ngl). The simple way to keep track of someone’s boost is to notice when they either
1. Pick up a boost pod (full boost)
2. Do something that takes a ton of boost (aerial, hold boost down on the ground, etc).
Once you start keeping tabs on those two things you can kind of start feeling out when players have enough boost to make specific plays.
Sometimes you can also tell purely based off of how a player is positioning and driving that they are out of boost too..
keep an eye on your opponents, like squishy said; I play 1's alot and watching your opponent is more important than hitting the ball, also you're able to boost starve in 1's
so if u see someone slow, hangs back and plays safe, they're usually a. low boost or b. faking their boost count (which is rare but I do that in 1's a lot)
The reaction from people as it dawns on them how good you are is the most relatable, and therefore most enjoyable, part of this. LOL, good shit
Enjoying the series Squishy, I know you may feel conflicted playing against lower ranks but it's all in teaching and a bit of entertainment along with some funny salty comments.
I'm in Diamond and I've gone up against some Champs and GCs, but I just take it as a learning experience and still try my best and put more effort into thinking how to score and/or defend against them. IDK, some people just give up right away and don't want to figure out how to "git gud" when playing against a higher ranked player. I could understand their anger if they constantly went up against higher ranked opponents and kept losing, but it's a one-off thing, so yeah don't feel that bad for them Squishy. The lower ranks are always the saltiest, at least in my experience.
Also, enjoyed your stream yesterday. I don't watch streams often, just catch them when I'm able to.
Edit: Since there are only 4 games left, do you think you can finish those last 4 in one video? Like a "bonus" game for watching the Road to GC Series thing for us?
Justin Rivera you’ve never gone up against high champs if you’re diamond what are you on about? Especially grand champ?
Illuminate I No not in comp LMAO! In casual only. I know that would never happen in Ranked matches, unless they use a Smurf account, which I've seen a few of those and lost badly. It's easy to pick out the Smurfs from someone who is legit for the ranks you're playing in.
And if you have Overwolf, like myself, or AlphaConsole, you can see their actual MMR even in Casual matches.
Justin Rivera ohhh, that means you play a lot of non comp then. Because most gc’s and high champs don’t play non ranked and use it as a warm up
Illuminate I I do play more casual than ranked lately, especially since I'm in S.Korea at the moment. The guys out here are SUPER toxic and they play just for Solo plays. I know it's like that back in the US as well, it's just it feels WAAAY worse out here. Not only that, my ping is at 80-90 on a good day, but mostly in the 110-120 range. So yeah, I'm not gonna play ranked with that kinda ping.
I nearly play every match with salty kids. They are greedy and cant score wide open goals in DIAMOND 2-3. IN EUROPE LIVES THE MAJORITY OF SALTINESS
Honestly you did JUSTICE to the first game. You helped your mate get back what he lost because he had troll last game, and you took away what the other guys got unfairly by playing against someone who was intentionally throwing.
Those last kids were so tilted lollll. I love how they're threatening a ban as if Psyonix is actually going to ban someone for smurfing.
They will ban someone for smurfing, depending on the context. Here, Squishy started a brand new account and is simply playing his placement matches to get his rank up, as the game is intended to do. However, if he created this account solely to pop-off or clip on noobs, or to boost an account, then yeah, he might get banned.
That's funny because no one is reading rules but you should start to, because Psyonix wrote "smurfing was not allowed if you wan't to play and stay in lower ranks than your current rank". So now instead of saying shit because they are "tilted", read the rules ty. And ofc they are titled because they can't do nothing about this game so it's a free lose.
@@c9zyra294 relax dude. A "free lose" like you said will not derank you or lose any progress you've made before. Play against better player allows to get better and better. You discover how they place each other, how they hit the ball, why they won and so on. The problem here is people usually want to have better ranking without learning and training anything. If you play against way better people than you just a few games, it's a huge opportunity to learn something from them
There’s no way to prove a smurf tho if u think about it
They can't ban smurfs because it could just be someone switching from PS4 to PC.
Honestly, one of my favorite videos yet. Keep that chat on.
I love these videos! I think you should find little challenges to make the games closer, like no boost or no jumping during the placements games until they become difficult. Keep up the good work I love your vids!
You should promote this series whenever some1 gets pissed at you. I for one learned a ton of positioning, game speed and challenging awareness by watching your vids. Keep up with the good vids :)
The voice chat popping up is automatically bound to r1 so just clear the binding in control setting
Squishy: *misses the ball*
Also Squishy: I don't wanna score anymore.
Hey man, enjoy the videos you put out really enjoy this Road to G.C. I'm excited to learn some of the better fundamentals. I do have one suggestion and you may already do this. I think it would be really cool if you signed the lower level players profile (under your Squishy account). This way they get something out of being completely destroyed while they're trying to rank up. I remember going through the lower ranks and getting frustrated when a player much better would come in and dominate. I play on Xbox so I don't know how long it takes to sign a profile but just thought it would be a neat gesture.
Once again, appreciate the content you put out there!
@@rosetello2530 no
What the helll is signing profiles?? I’ve heard Him talk about it multiple times, and people asking him to do it. But I don’t know what it actually is
Hunter Hoffman a sign is when for example squishy comment under ur profile “signed by squishy”
Wanna team up I’m on Xbox
Honestly a lot of lower ranked players wouldn't know who squishy is because they play casually and don't follow/watch pro players
I love that ur not toxic about playing the low lvls, I know how frustrating it is being in gold and facing ppl leaps and bounds ahead of me. Great vid man 👍👊
You're just passing through, it's not like they play you multiple times.
yea but these hardstuck idiots would rather complain and claim that smurfs are ruining the game instead of realizing that they're stuck because they suck in some aspect
Pohh Lol right I didn't even know gold players existed until today
Bennybtw Yeah we’re still here. Way down here. ☹️
Sometimes matchmakers really match them up multiple times and also they might meet different smurfs for each consecutive match tho.+they mightve been trying to climb for hours to get into the next rank and that match is probably going to rank them up/bad team8s/tilt. U think that these low ranks wont feel indignant when they meet a smurf? Ur not the ones that are losing. They are.
@@helloallegro9750 they don't know that feeling............I met a lot of different smurfing players while I was in low rank, it was really sad. Then I turned to play casual to improve my skill BECAUSE I AM SURE I CAN'T LEARN ANYTHING FROM SMURFINGS. If you guys met the smurfings when you were noob, you won't know how he plays that well. You don't know how to rotate . pass or aerial that well. Even if you save the replay, you won't know what his action/moves means.
(oh yea btw I back to rank and rank up to diamond 2 after playing in casual for one season. And the next season I got the champion1).
'' I want this guy to try and demo me, this is fun.... Dammit'' xD
8:52 "good first match" ahahahahah
VOICE CHAT FIX: Just take it out from your key blinding. By having your Air Roll on your L1 and your Scoreboard on your R1, you are using R1 for 2 things. It's pretty clear because whenever you look at the scoreboard you "accidently talk".
I’m glad you’re hanging out with the little guys
6:30 but i also insist that you go for cool shots, double flip resets , ceiling shots and air dribbles.
Love the vids! It’s nice seeing someone who doesn’t get mad and just has fun
8:45 "These Early games are always my lease favioute" The early games are the best and funniest lol
Love the series Squishy. It's sad to see so much toxicity. I understand them being upset as I've been there... struggling to win games and then getting some crazy good player in the lobby that just reks everyone. Dont let it get you down. This series will help so many more people than it "hurts".
Once i got placed against scrub killa in plat when he was doing his placements, now hes in my friendlist
Dude, you're prolly not gonna see this, but I just love your attitude. Real mature approach to stomping people lol
I DON’T NEED YOUR HELP!
I just need you to carry me to GC ... :)
ur rly funy
Make a smurf its helps *alot*
What's your avatar?
What is quite funny about this series is I have done the exact same thing, but what you come to notice is that it is kind of annoying and hard to play lower ranks during placements and general wins. Since the opponents and team mates whiff the ball a bunch because they are still improving, you tend to get faked and tend to miss some basic backboard shots, ceiling shots, etc. I think for some reason in our minds when we play ranks like bronze-plat, we assume we should win every game and feel like we have a reputation to hold up to, which we do. Since that feeling is in our minds, we almost play worse at the game against the lower ranks until we are in home territory of champ-gc and then we tend to feel slow for a small while until we get back into the swing of things. I think it is quite fascinating how our minds act that way, even in a game where we know we can do very well, but somehow the feeling of playing with lower players and thinking we need to be on top, just tends to send us down in our actual mechanical ability. I noticed this when I was especially in bronze-gold, then my speed sort of came back once plat, diamond, and champ returned.
Wow, perfect timing. I just div'd down in 1s then proceeded to ranking down in 2s...
Yo this vid is actually too funny
I feel u bruh
Matthew L lmao got to diamond1 in 3's then got 8/10 wins now in plat 3 div 2
Bennybtw what platform
PC
This series should be called ‘walkway to grand champion’ since ur so good
I just want to point out that I think people have the wrong mentality when playing a pro or GC. You should be honored to play someone like Squishy, someone so good, a top 10 player in the world. I mean I'll give up a loss ANY DAY for that chance... I'm C3 atm so I play GCs fairly often but I love it, it's great practice. If you are a plat player playing a GC, how often are you going to get the chance to do so? Just save the replay, watch from his view and learn some stuff, it's worth the loss imo. You are going to lose thousands of games in your RL career, just embrace the ONE loss when you play a Pro, because you won't get the chance to play a pro fairly often, probably never as a lower rank. Even as a C3 I rarely get the chance, but when it does it's amazing, I'll ride the loss with a huge smile on my face :).
Maybe the fact that he's playing against you, and he's scoring all your mistakes. So you can clearly see your mistakes and get better
GuYs I aM a C3
Nicole Ashley Well imo there's a huge different between playing someone and watching someone. It's much easier to recognize someone's speed and play style when playing the person versus watching. When you get to higher rank, like C3-GC, you start to play the same people a lot. At that level its easier to learn people's play styles over time. But it's something you learn through playing them, at least that's how I learn. Also when you play the person you can save the replay, and analyze the game and look at different player perspectives to see what you could of done differently. This is very important, something you will never learn about yourself by watching another person's stream. Lastly, it feels way better to PLAY a pro rather than watch one, even if you are a plat player. This is just my mentality, maybe it's different for everyone else. I enjoy playing a pro whenever I get the chance, it really doesn't come that often. Even though the odds of winning are pretty low, playing the pro can actually much better help you compare what you are doing versus them. It's just way easier this way than watching. Don't get me wrong though, I watch Pro youtubers on a daily and learn a lot from that, both are very good ways to learn. The more you watch pros on YT and the more you play people way better than you, the better you will get. It is always a positive thing to constantly play better people, eventually over time you will adapt to their speed and learn from them, it's very important to actually get hands on playing with people better than you in order to improve.
Jason W it’s different when you don’t have a clue of who it is and your getting smurfed on . I’m the guy in the last game . It’s so frustrating just trying to get into diamond and I get smurfed once a day. Love squishy to death. Hate getting smurfed
I enjoy playing against high level opponents. Helps me learn and see what I can do better and things I need to work on. Great vid.
You won't get banned because your a GC on a new account and there's no way of skipping placement matches and going straight to champ so they can't complain everyone has to play placement matches
ik i am i c2 player just bought a pc and players were mad but im like how can i skip this shit so i wont be a smurf but they wil never understand
Watching those double touches are just so satisfying.
Iv been stuck in diamond 3 forever I can’t wait for you to give me some tips on transitioning from diamond to champion
good rotation and less hesitation ;)
Just git gud
same man, stuck in diamond 3 div 4 for ages, then dropped down to diamond 2 after solo queuing trying to get over the line to champ and just gettin some bad luck with the teammates I got lol, so keen for when squishy gets to diamond
He going to say what he said in this video. What got me through to champ was better positioning against opponents touches and for teammate passing. The most important thing though is no hesitation. You gotta commit to a play. When you watch squishy play his mechanics are going to overshadow these small tips. But if anything watch his boost management, shadowing, and when he decides to retreat based on his teammates play.
You need to just learn mechanics as much as possible bro, these will carry you through the ranks easily wave dashes of the walls, half flips are all a big part of ranking up and of the most important mechanics
Squishy, an eye tracker is a great idea! Can't wait to see it. Do you have an idea when you'll get one?
4:15 it isn't even fair if u face of squishy in a grandchamp match 😂👍
I've played countless games against GCs and P1s and up, and have always found there is more to learn. I'm still unranked but I just recently got started. Been playing for a couple months and tbh I always save the replays and watch it over again with the players that showed exceptional performance throughout the game.
I really want to see (when squishy is in the higher ranks and a pro joins the game, like Rizzo) Example :
The Chat :
Rizzo has joined the match
Rizzo : Oh hi Squishy
Road to Grand Champ : Hi Rizzo
P.S I also liked my own comment cause nobody else will
I've seen it plenty. Usually no one says anything lol. I've always been surprised the pros don't talk much to each other in game.
@@enderwiggin3975 u sorta said it yourself, it happens all the time, that's why lol
I don't know why they're so mad. I hate when I get to play with people too good in my team; I hate getting carried.
In fact, if I ever play with you, I'd like it to be in the opposite team, simply because playing against people better than me is what makes me push my limits and forces me to be better myself.
Nice series, will be checking back soon.
18:34 squishy spawns faster than the flash can run
This is extreeemly entertaining
Best player rl
Squishy you're such a nice guy, you're playing these kids who are just so much worse than you but you're such a gentleman about beating them.
I was close all game because of the epic gameplay.. But then @ 8:30 it happened.. gg. no re.
I’m only champ one but I like the comment on being confident. Something that helped me a lot was just going for the ball it helped me to learn to fly more and getting used to mechanics of the game
8:29 did anyone else hear someone moan “no homework”
Lmao yea!!! What th was that??? :o
You're so good you make everyone look like it's their first time playing
5:46 that was the quickest typing i've ever seen HAHAHAHA
Dino Kovač fax mans types like 50 wpm
I went to the description and the first thing I see is the camera settings, really says somthing about this community
I love that argument people used in CS aswell, "oh you just smurf cuz you cant play at your rank hurrrr" Well if you got to your rank its obvious you can play at that level, and maybe some people like playing with friends that are lower ranked.
thank you for making these. excited to see the higher levels!
idk what he means by helping people @17:20 cuz thats what tutorials are for..not crushing the younglings anakin style lol
"Diamonds are way better than they used to be" you flatter me, squishy
No you wont get banned for smurfing unless you're doing to to boost someone for cash. The reason they get mad is because in their eyes they fully believe that they are way better than what they actually are and their skill group, they fully believe that everyone else is lucky and that they are a god. For about a year now i've dedicated time to gather enough information from players to actually conclude that only 1 in 6 fully accept their own skill group. Even in higher rank do ppl play like shit because in their eyes what they do is the right thing while others suck. I cant tell you how many Diamond 3/Champ players ballchace and throw them self in to every challenge there is or just have extremely bad positioning in general because they don't understand the play as it develops, the inability to read teammates and opponents or understand the basic for how the ball actually moves.
I'm C3 in 2 and 3, have been gc a few games and will hopefully have my 10 wins. You can't believe how many people still chase or play so terrible compared to some others that I honestly respected so much for their skill. Last night I played multiple gc's and I would've thought they were C2 max. Depends on the good/bad days but some are just extremely lucky to get their high ranks (I guess?).
@@EnzoV1993 Yeah, but so many are getting legally boosted these days and only manages to say in the rank because he's mates are good enough to fill in the blank spots.
I keep going inn and out of C1 because some of the people literally play like the just got out of gold. I would know because i deranked so many players the last 2 months i had to play my way back up from plat 1 to Diamond 3(I always play alone in 3s and 2s. don't play solo standard). But still there just seems to be no ending to the amount of players that just chace, stay way to far back, never rotate, miss every ball or who can't even clear the ball in a normal fashion.
Congrats to you and Cloud 9. That flip reset was siiiiick.
9:28
U find it funny cos it definitely doesn't apply to u since ur so good lol
Also super chill vibe i love how this dudes attitude is. Keep getting your muney
8:30
The way you're so good is so satisfying
"Smurfing" but your username is "Road To Grand Champion"
How is that smurfing? I mean, placements are a thing they should know. This is basically a compilation of people calling Squishy a smurf lmao
Anybody know the background song that start at around 18:30?
ever find out?
Felderf kind of, it’s part of a mix, search up Spawn - Thoughts lofi mix. It starts at the same time
@@CurTho Thanks i wound up finding that same mix haha.
When I play against a very good opponent, its a fantastic way to improve my reading and my abilities in defense.
I am happy !!!
Ppl trigerred by smurfs are just dumb angry kids.
Smurfing is nothing, you meet a smurf on 100 games !
It does change NOTHING to your game or your ranking.
People want to be with players better than them, they want to play against noobs opponents, they want to carry and be carrid at the saùme time, but they never want to improve their skills by their own...
Trashtalkers, whinners, etc... These guys need to shut their mouth and learn.
And if one day smurfing is banned, i sware i create 100 accounts to insult psynosix.
I cannot play with my low level friends because of Whinners. They totally destroyed matchmaking by complaining to the devs...
So the devs said : you play with your noob friends ? they will NEVER enjoy the game, you will play against higher level than the best player of the group !!!
Damn loosers... You ruined rocket league for noobs, trying to be the bests with no effort. You are killing the game for new players, tryhards noobs...
By insulting every bad player, and insulting every good player.
*yawns*
I actually don't mind the odd smurf in rocket league, but playing against smurfs in something like CS:GO SUCKS because I only have time for 1 or 2 games a week because I only play with my friends and we all work odd hours, so when one of those games we just get destroyed for 30 minutes that isn't fun.
Standing greater than Jesus, was the man Squishy. Who continued his quest to help those who dream of his power in spite of their resentment towards him for it. xD
I don’t understand why the lower ranks are so toxic
It's because they watch pros play on youtube and think that they are better than they actually are. It makes them frustrated because they think" well if he can do it and make it looks so easy then it must be easy." People at lower ranks want to be good and want to be the best without putting any significant effort into it. Rocket league is a game that takes a substantial amount of time, practice and effort to be good at.
True and also for me I've been diamond 3 for about 600 hours so alot of the toxicity comes from frustration of playing and playing and playing and never improving whatsoever, then seeing some god of RL come and do everything you have worked for so long to do and failed.
I think the best way for the newer players (lower rank and/or tilted players) is to not get ahead of themselves. Ease into the game, it’s not a race to “be the best RL player as quick as possible” Learn the basics (aerials, passing defense, rotation, ground shots and so on) Keep practicing and even change up your camera and controller settings up once and a while just to get a feel for what’s comfortable for you. We’ve all been there, it’s just that we sometimes figure that “well I’ve playing for awhile why do I keep screwing ‘yada yada’ and I’m feel like I’m still not improving” Keep this in your mind, WE ARE HUMANS WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. RELAX. I have 2000+ hours played and still find myself in the wrong position or missing the ball, but it’s ok because I’ve learned that if I laugh it off and not get frustrated I won’t get tilted for the rest of the match.
This whole comment section is bashing lower ranked players. I like the theories and presumptions you are coming up with very amusing to read.
Lol well the topic is "lower ranked players being toxic" what is your take on it?
Yo I decided to rewatch this and what was that at 8:33 in the background noise?
NO....Diamonds are not better than they used to be. Lmao
It is painful playing with diamonds
CCM_Hockey71 oh yes. Greedy, dumb retreats to get boost, no kick off call or they ignore your call, shitty Rotation and the lack of skill to see opportunities to set the tm8/s up
"What are you doing in Gold?" I just love how people don't even consider that Squishy is in the placement matches! Similar thing happened to me when I went from Switch to PC... but my teammates were mad at how bad I sucked, not because I was a "Smurf"! Lmao! I was in my 10th placement match with Diamonds and I was a Silver3/Gold 1 player at the time!
i was in diamond, was good at freestyling , could do 2 flip resets max ,score 0 sec goals all the time, stopped playing for half a year, got back to playing and the golds are like the diamond players from when i played and tryin to get alot better, but this just shows how the evolution of rocket league works.
5:47 reminds me of that Kermit the Frog GIF the way he typed like that! lmaooo
keep it up squishy its so much fun to watch
When is the end of this season? does Squishy have enough time to get to GC?
please keep showing the placement matches and leave the chat on it is low key hilarious to see peoples reactions!!
Keep chat on, it makes up 50% of the entertainment.
What was that on 8:30 ???? This sound in the Background? ??
Pretty sure it's his subscriber sound on Twitch or something. I've heard the exact same sound before in his vids.
The best part of this series is the salty players lol. Keep up the good vids!
16:35 how the HELL did you get that boost??? If I don't put the center of my car over the pad, I miss it.
I'm really glad that Squishy is not a dick about how good he his. He doesn't gloat or put other people down. Very classy.
I just played against two smurfs in plat, and they were for sure champ-level. Which is cool, and I respect the mechanical skill. But the whole game they were calling us trash and telling us to uninstall. It's an ego trip for them, not just a pass-through on their way to a higher rank.
