I used to play a ton of league of legends, and usually blamed team mates for the loss. I had this exact moment where I realized I played like garbage, too. Made an honest attempt to get better. Still only made it to silver but hey it was farther than bronze.
Make sure you enjoy it, competitive games are weird drugs that make you want to keep playing even though they mostly make you feel frustrated or mad. There are so many great non competitive games to play.
I'm trying to do this with rocket league. I see team mates making mistakes and try to remember there was I time I didn't realize I was making a mistake. And get back to trying to figure out what mistakes I'm currently making.
You know aside from diving forward on an airborne ball. My thumb is trash!
Hey, ifyou want to rank up in Rocket League while not relying too much on mechanics, you should watch Flakes' "Road to SSL without mechanics" on YouTube. Pretty crazy how far you can go with basically just capitalising on other's mistakes
The biggest issue with rocket league at the lower ranks isn't mechanics. It's awareness. Too often I'll get bumped by a tm8 not rotating. I watch the replays from their POV and they never once turned off ballcam. And this is in diamond. Yiud think they would have learned by now
It's like the old saying, "If you think everyone around you is an asshole, just remember that you're the common denominator in every situation". So if your teammates are trash, it's time to look inward at whether you're actually the problem, or if you're not, what you can do to help your teammates succeed.
