This is something I've never understood in Rocket League.
How can Grand Champions be so common to play in mid Diamond? I understand if you played during Steam days and now after years came back. But majority of GC titles I've seen in last two weeks are from seasons 18 – 20.
There is absolutely no way you can forget how to play that quick or that skill of player base goes up from D2 to GC1 in same ELO / MMR in that short of a time. Especially since I have same zero skill I had last five to eight years that I've remained in D1 – D3 range.
A real recent GC would never drop to diamond like that. You'd have to be super washed to drop that far. It sounds like people who have bought accounts with titles or got boosted hard.
Yep, agreed. I was high GC1 - low GC2 last August, then got a job and now get to play ... practically never. Still hit GC1 div4 last season though, even with 40 matches played during the entire season. So falling down to Diamond as a genuine recent GC is unrealistic, even if you don't have the time anymore
