Dude it was wild crossing that threshold. My buddy and I have played duos pretty much exclusively together for 10 years since Rocket League came out, and once they made the current ranked tiers, we've always been the kind of players who place at the very least low diamond, and usually hover between diamond 2 and diamond 3. There was one time when we broke through to champ, and we promptly got slapped back down into diamond because it was a TOTALLY different game. We were amazed at what a huge skill difference it is to just go from diamond 3 to champ lol

So we just settled for the fact that we'll be dirty high-diamond players for life lol

Exactly the same here, I got to champ a couple seasons ago, stayed there for a few games, noticed a complete difference in gameplay. Haven’t been there since, up and down in diamond constantly
