Games that are good for short breaks in between doing shit

...

>tfw over 450 hours and still stuck in gold

That's not totally terrible depending on which gold you are.

>playing RL for fun
The fuck is wrong with you OP?

gold 1 in doubles, gold 3 in standard

to be fair, i usually play with a friend who's not quite as good as i am and he sort of brings my rank down lol

last season I finished rising star but i'm finding it hard to get back there

>Solo Standard
Why am I doing this to myself?
I just want to play some RL when my friend isn't online and sometimes competitive...

I play standard when I'm by myself and refuse to play it with my shitty friends.

Not bad at all for the amount of hours you have.

>diamond 2
>gets constantly paired up with players whose doing their placement matches, turns out later they're gold-platinum ranked

I know what you mean, I play doubles exclusively with my friend but he's played like 350 hours and me 700. It's hard to climb when he just completely whiffs saves or doesn't position himself properly but I also don't want to say anything because he's the only IRL friend that plays with me. Well at least I have standard and I play unranked 90% of the time anyway.

Also, I've been playing duel for the past four days since, as I said, the guy I play doubles with is not available to play much.
I'm at this point where I either win 4:0 or lose 0:4 around gold and It's driving me insane.

Okay for real

how do i git gud at RL

Past silver, don't play with pubs if you want to imporve.

practise everything. play a lot. have fun.

How fun is RL if i want to play solo?

...

Hope Solo? As in Hope Solos roastie?

I played my first 20 or 30h without a friend and it was some of the most intense and insane shit happening in video games.
Of course, looking back and at replays from then I was garbage, but it was so damn cool.

doubles or standard would be the most fun i suppose.

I play alone most of the time and have fun. Unless you mean 1v1, play that if you hate yourself.

>tfw diamond in every playlist, including diamond 3 in 2s and 3s.

Hours?

~600

Read my friends guide on Reddit, he has over 1300 upvotes.

>To of you who don't feel like their improving.
Something like that.

I'm Gold I now on standard and doubles
Hate when my teammate starts to play scoring goals for the other team

Over 1700,
But at least 500 of those are afk. Sometimes in college I'd leave my game on overnight, wake up, play a few before class and leave it on all day lol. I thought having a ton of hours would be cool, but now people judge me on it and it's stupid. Why I have 2 smurfs.

I can't stop going after the ball like a retard and leaving myself open in 1v1
please help

>reddit
nigga im totally going to do that, thanks

Then never git gud lol

try to keep possession, learn how to dribble, git gud at defense

>Be real good at FIFA
>Get literally BTFO every time I play this

>smurfs
You're the biggest cancer in RL.
I'd take cheaters over garbage like you.

Depends, what rank you at this/last season?

What does smurfs mean

>say "I got it!" at kickoff
>other retard player still feels the need to rush to the ball too

Smurfs are secondary accounts of players so they can play below their actual rank.

>tfw grand champion last season and can't even get out of diamond now

I was in the highest challenger (elite?) in 2v2 and 3v3 but it felt like I was getting carried
It's my first time playing 1v1 now and I'm being matched with silvers
150 hours btw

A Smurf is just a second account that you start. Some people use it to play noobs. Some people (like myself) just use it when I don't feel like trying, even though the ranks are almost identical. People use to make them to boost their mmr. Doesn't work well anymore because if you Smurf and play with a high rank friend, your rank will shoot up extremely quick.

post 'em

>Not smurfing
>That satisfaction when people in the lobby think they're going to BTFO me when I have a slightly lower technical rank but absolutely annalihate them on my smurf

Yeah no shit. If you had half a fucking brain you'd realize that diamond 3 is over 1200 skill rating anyway. Or you're lying. They spread it out on purpose for the top 5% people who were stuck st GC and had nothing to work for.

Anyone else feel like this seasons rankings are a little skewed down?

Maybe it's because there are more higher ranks but I just barely scraped up to plat I after being shooting star last season

Climbing feels really difficult

600 hours and I'm still silver 1

JUST

diamond in doubles which is basically all i play after 700 hours, really feel like i havent been improving lately though. Just spend some time in practise modes, it helps an insane amount

I don't need that kind of low-level gratification in my life from video games.
But I guess you also love the bling bling in CoD and BF, huh?

Nice humble brag

>top 0.7%
>can't get le good ;(

I don't think you understand. This isn't about bling bling nor is it about cheap sense of victory against scrubs. It's about dominance, in its rawest form. It's about blowing people the fuck out and watch them tremble every time I control the ball and head for goal. It's about feeling superior, almost godlike. It's about winning.

I take it you don't have any friends to play with? If you're only playing solo all the time it can get frustrating and hard to improve.

>I don't think you understand
I understand. You have to compensate and your way of compensation is smurfing in RL.

>it isn't about a cheap victory against scrubs
>describes the feeling he gets during a cheap victory against scrubs

Ok

>I take it you don't have any friends to play with?

I play doubles with my IRL friend. We're dragging each other down I think

>I take it you don't have any friends to play with?
Welp that hit too close to home, time to abandon thread and find escapism elsewhere

terrible fucking game

>240 hours
>stuck at gold 2 fighting ppl with rising star and champion wheels

I need to work on shot taking desu

I specifically added the second sentence so it wouldn't come off that way. hah

Can you do the pro and all-star trainings very well?
They're a great way to improve your more sensible steering and shooting.

In silver I'd suggest working on your defence and capitalising on breakaway goals. Also don't play as aggressively, you don't need to whack the ball all of the time. If it is going towards them and they're about to hit it, head back a bit towards your goal so when they do hit it you have space to take control and hit it back. Unless you are good at predicting and blocking, rushing it just means they'll just hit it over you and have space to score.

you can just find random people in solo queue you know

Poor user will never know that, despite the fact he's a friendless loser with anxiety problems, he got two (2) (You)'s in this thread

3 (three)

lobby guys?

How the fuck do you get consistent in this game? 500 hours in and while I have good games here and there, I still make ridiculous whiffs and misread situations

>destroy enemy
>Thanks!

What do they mean by that?

>tfw almost 700hrs and can't air roll properly

they're butthurt because you used game mechanic like it's supposed to

play actively

what is air rolling?

Being gay

powerslide + analog to left or right in air

It makes me laugh when people get mad at demos or bumps saying it's for noobs, yet you watch pros and they do it all the time.

So you have to hold B and X on a Microsoft controller at the same time? Do people really do that awkward shit?

practise like everyone else

Rebind handbrake and air roll to LB

No, just rebind scoreboard to Select/Back; unbind push to talk voice chat because you're an autist who can't use a mic; and then bind powerslide to RB/1 and Air Roll to LB/1

>Made it to champ last season, moving up towards it again and I don't even know what air rolling is

I'm the worst teammate and I don't even care

rank rn?

Diamond 1 Division 4

>game came out for free on PSN a while back
>huh this will be a fun gimmick game no stress
>now regard it as the most balanced and skill based competitive multiplayer game of all time

Why is it so perfect bros

It's just some cars and a ball so it's simple, yet it's really fucking hard to git gud. I don't think anyone has reached the skill ceiling yet which is cool. It's also really fun at every skill level.

I like playing Yokai Watch 2 inbetween breaks at work
Its fun to spend a bit getting a certain Yokai up

Can't you read?

How the hell

diamond 1 is pretty much champ from last season

>superstar last season
>now diamond 1
>games are full of S3 GCs

>10 minutes to find a game
>40 minutes to play the game

Yeah really fun.

Can people hack in the gc title now? The amount of them i've seen playing even unranked seems really off. Most of them are totally shit also.

There was a lot of boosting going on at the end of last season for wheels and titles. GC is a lot harder to get this season though which I think is way better, it should really be the top top players.
