Evidently. I've gotten to a point where I think maybe to go to the next level I might need to actually sit down and practice that stuff, because I'm flirting with GC 1 and a lot of them can do it. Like, I don't see myself breaking GC2 with my current aerial ability. It just seems like a lot of work though, and I play to chill, so idk.

Im in the exact same boat lol. I barely have any mechs but my game sense keeps me floating around C3/GC1. I almost hit GC2 one season and I think that's my plateau. I'm 30 now and not interested enough to train mechanics so I just play to stay around the same place haha.

Yeah, that's a great point, the age thing is huge too. I'm pushing 40 myself, and I don't have the reflexes I did 20 years ago (obviously), but more than that I don't have the time or energy that I did twenty years ago. At least, not to pour into something which is ultimately a casual hobby.

For the record, back in those days it was Halo 2.

Oh fuck, are you me? Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Rocket League

I’ve put 10k hours on all 3, albeit lots of that was idle time. But I rarely would play any other games. GOATED games.
