Guys I need help. I'm pretty bad at rocket league (Gold 2 - Gold 3 in standard), and I've been told 1v1s help, but I'm really struggling with ranked 1v1. I'm in silver 2 and can't seem to find a single good match. Most people I play fit into two categories:
1. Veterans through Masters who are bad at rocket league just like myself (I'm a "Veteran"). Most of them don't know how to aerial or control the ball well, and I usually score often and early, resulting in a forfeit and a division up for me.
2. Rookies through Pros (alt accounts) that are dribbling and juking me every which way. I was already growing tired of this, and then the last match I played I literally had a rookie take the ball up the wall to the ceiling, air dribble it down, and redirect it over me into the top of the goal. And when I quick chatted "Wow!", he had the audacity to say "Thanks!". And then a division down :( These people definitely consist of about 1/3 of my recent matches, and I can't for the life of me figure out how they're in Silver 2. Do they throw matches to stay down here and play scrubs like me?
So whether I'm getting destroyed or feeling guilty for destroying less experienced players, I stay stagnant at Silver 2 while playing 1 minute long matches that don't have any meaningful learning experience for me. Any tips on escaping this mess of a solo rank?
