    Im a top 1% player in Rocket League after playing for 4500 hours. The skill gap between me and the best players in the game is the same gap as between me and a brand new player.

    But i will still beat 99% of the game’s population.

      Same for me, but with Tetris. I’m not the best, but I’m confident I can handedly beat the vast majority of the population. I spent most of my lockdown days just doing Tetris.

      As an 800 hour player that has to put the game down because of competitiveness making me a curmudgeon – Wow, gotta say. That’s so much work.

      Did you use the practice modes to get to be that level or did it just come to you during play?

        • Tons of freeplay
        • Tons of mods/workshop map
        • Ive had some coaching
        • And I also play in an amateur league

        As long as you always play to improve, watch videos to keep up on mechanics/metas, and just immerse yourself in the game, you’ll always climb up. If you play at least 2 hours a day, you’ll be insane before you know it.

        But in the spirit of this post, you could spend your time doing something so much more productive than a video game lol

        Played 932h (around 900h actual playtime) and almost exclusively played ranked or rumble/dropshot but never casual.
        Best rank was Diamond 2 or 1 not sure anymore.
        Played it only on keyboard. No controller ever used. Gave it up as a sort of protest against the buyout and never went back.
