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 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.

Did you mean “handily?” Or “single-handedly,” implying some sort of Teamtris?
Yup, thanks! I was trying to figure out which word I was thinking of. I must have malaphored myself
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?
