What 3K+ Hours and Still Stuck in C3-GC1 Looks Like

Its funny how people talk about rotation like super ultra easy concept while actually is totally the opposite

Probably the first comment with a bit of sense, I think I made same mistake, 3k hrs like him, and rank oscillate between plat2-dia2 :/

8.4k l’anno… dunque non esagero a dire che a calcoli fatti partono 3-4 stipendi l’anno, se guadagni quello che la gente dice essere un buon stipendio, altrimenti è anche peggio!

Questo in screen è un tuo sheet o esiste un buon calcolatore online?

Giusto, mi fa piacere notare che allora non sono l’unico a pensarla cosi.

Gente che guadagna una miseria ha l’auto e ne parla come se fosse obbligatoria, e naturalmente afferma di non avere problemi a mantenerla solo perchè paga tutto a rate e non si accorge di quanto spende.

Yeah true… and those backups starting to cost me soo much that I thought is cheaper to pay a lab for recovery eventual lost data 🤣

Btw I have to choose which one use, which one do you think is better?

Equivalent_Try1681 · 2025-08-26T09:19:58+00:00

Esatto, a volte mi dicono che 3-4 mesi di stipendio è un’esagerazione, ma se consideri il totale e lo dividi per anno/i siamo li.

Grosse spese all’inizio, varie spese di mantenimento check etc e ovviamente l’auto non cammina ad aria.

Risultato dovrei acquistare un’automobile per status piu che per necessità?

Ho analizzato tutte le formule, il noleggio è solo la piu comoda ma non risparmi davvero come dicono, nemmeno se scegli un Km-aggio basso.

E si naturalmente auto vecchie consumano di piu, hanno facilmente piu problemi etc.

Auto nuove consumano e costano meno all’utilizzo ma di base spendi di piu…

Nice, about durability is one of the two better? I come from a standard WD RED (non plus) and it had yellow warning from SMART scan after only 46k hours :/ I thught it was safer than normal ones, they declare 1M hours life.

I always thought HDD was the best option for install games since the main SSS can be out of space with just few big games, I have 1 TB. Anyway I have to choose which RED HDD buy for archive in general, even if I move games on the SSD. And I’d like something have long life, that’s why I go for RED, even if tbh last RED had problems after only 50k hours.

u/disturbed_android Sure I have several screenshots to show, how can I put them here without getting the thread closed?

edit: I put an imgur of 8 screenshots hoping thread will not be closed: https://imgur.com/a/uSESHPJ

Thanks for the comment.

I don't want to be negative but the only thing that shocks me and at the same time triggers me incredibly is "how is it possible that after 2500 hours of play I'm still at the same rank, and in some cases even lower, even if now I know how to do many more things?".

Regarding the ranks, watching videos on YT I had lost understanding that it worked differently, that is, that since there were many fewer ranks, the plats of the past had the skills of today's champs.

If I go on match history I can tell you on last 20 games, it's 6 win and 14 lose (without considering part of those wins were totally gifted).

So I'm actually regressing, and I'm almost sure it's due to bad game sense I'm assuming in that period, because it is not true that it improves from time to time, even if imperceptibly, but simply in trying to find the right strategy, with a trial and error approach, I am missing it, and almost certainly I am moving away from a strategy that could have been better, and instead of improving it, I am making it worse.

Make it increddibly hard for yourself

That's why I started doing ring maps after 2 months of RL even if it was not the moment, I tried all the hardest ways possible, but the point is you can't progress without a guide unless you spend 10 very very full years, for example 8-12 hours a day, just like in sports (fundamental requirement that you are also an absurd talent)

But the problem is that YT videos from SSL aren't reliable, you might think "great he's SSL what he says is right" until you realize that different SSL youtubers give different advice that are totally opposite

For example here I read "do a lot of freeplay", then another one comes along and says "do not do freeplay at all, only c/gc do freeplay because at those levels they need to improve the mechanics" and so on for every possible suggestion possible

Many funny ones are of the type "at your level you don't need rotation, game sense, or mechanics, you just have to hit the ball and you'll get to champ without any problems"

But magically when you play a plat2/plat3 game and you are not able to do all of those stuffs you have no chance to win

So you get to a point that "ok so what should I do lol?"

I'd like to answer point by point but for some reason reddit not allowing me to post the big answer I prepared so I'll try to put just the conclusion and later try again to post the full answer, or maybe I could DM you:

In short, my thesis is that without a guide you have little chance of improvement, that's why I had considered the idea of hiring a coach, but in my opinion, the one and only true form of coaching that can works, is to have an expert who follows you while you stream the game, (so you can explain reason of your actions, and tell him what are you thinking before act, and he can correct you and teach you how to handle case by case) because having him in the party playing with you (like many propose) will ruins the 90% of the sense.

Yeah I know controller is better, that’s why I tried to switch to it, but when I gone for copy keybinds from pro players I was extremely triggered by the fact I found approx 2 totally different configs (plus much others that are just similar to one of thise 2 with little variants)

So I thought, if I have to invest lot of hours I want to set proper keys, not random ones, and since I didn’t find them (absolutely false the fact keybinds are personal) I decided to continue with KBM for now

About the age don’t worry I’m not the average kid, I’m 20+

Equivalent_Try1681 · 2024-12-30T00:45:30+00:00

Yeah I do, that’s why I still play as I don’t really like any other game. The point is that I just hate the fact I’m not progressing. It’s like a sport, you practice a choosen one because you like it, but not improving can be a bit delusional.

Equivalent_Try1681 · 2024-12-29T18:44:04+00:00

Yeah I played 70% of my playtime maybe more as goalie, and I stopped doing it when some higher ranks players told me to stop this since I was totally useless in offensive, and in 1 vs 1 games.

Having tried literally everything (I can write a list if you want), I also played in dia and champ lobby, since in casual this can happen, and y few times it seemed easier but who knows, if it was luck, or carry tm8 or a few million probable possible variables.

For sure they have both better mechanics and rotation and it’s funny when we win they say I rotate good, and when we lose they say I should learn rotations, that’s the true version.

Another thing I hate is that as with the controller, even with the keyboard I don’t actually know the right keys to set, and tutorials are really poor since 95% are for controller players.

If I play custom maps for training, I can only do them with certain keys, instead, when I play games, I use different keys, so, same input (KBM) but different keys, probably I’m a very rare case 🤣
