We are not diamond, tournament opponent is diamond! WHAT?

[Haplo]

Totally balanced. There was no diamond in our team and they had diamond in their team; why? Because they invited a gold friend in their party which diamond player can easily carry against plats. Well done.

Tournaments are based on the average MMR of your group. Just like usual matchmaking.

Which is unfair. That's why boosting is still a thing.

Just demo the diamond. He can't score if he's dead KEKW

This guy gets it.

He dose have a point tho, the tournament I won earlier granted me the plat tounry winner title, the tourny I just came running up in was 3 plats against 3 champs in the final, or that was the reward banners they chose to use anyway, yet it would still be a plat title anyone would have got in my team who never had it if we caused an upset and won. I'm sure they said when they showcased the tournaments it was supposed to be against people your own rank in the 3's playlist.

[LordFastTrakz]

It could be that people who were that rank last season, have de-ranked to do tournys and farm easy reward points or they have done poorly in placements and they went from diamond and champion to plat, but the latter is unlikely

The champs have to play against someone. If they sign up for a tournament and there's only lower ranked players than them because lower ranked players make up over 90% of the Rocket League population and nobody else in the 10% above them signed up then they are going to get to play against people that are worse than them.

If there's some kind of badge or reward for winning a tournament then it will make sense to some high ranked players to let their ranks tank on purpose to make it easy for them to win tournaments.

That dose make sense to a degree, might be an argument for removing your rank from the title if its variable ranks actually competing and just have it as Season 1 Tournament Winner. I'm not complaining, just saying OP makes a point.

I was worried about diamonds first but I saw even champions in the last hour tournament. I've seen people were using Season 14 champion rewards as a banner in the plat tournament. How can you even win against such a team? Not possible for a plat team.

Keep in mind that season rewards dont always mean they got the rank in that specific gamemode... for all you know they could've gotten diamond in snowday or rumble...

Even in the extras game mode its normally a handful of divisions higher than your standard rank the higher you go in those game modes you still run into players who play faster, read play better, make less errors and generally more mechanically skilled than their lower ranked counterparts.

That is true but take Dropshot, for example. It's played completely differently than 3v3 standard. People might be really good in Dropshot but struggle in Standard modes.

On top of that, a lot of people get boosted at the end of the season for season rewards.

Totally balanced. Diamond tournament winners deranking to enter plat tournament.

That is literally cheating.

I don't even want to mention 3v2 situation.

[Haplo]

Joined for the second chance, there is literally AFK in my team. Somehow game didn't kicked him for being afk, he literally just stayed still for 5 minutes. Reported but does they even get ban? Opponent also reported him so he got 5 reports from single game. And I don't think he will ever get ban.

Dude I just had a bracket start where it was just me and one other player on the other team. I just let him win so I could get into the second chance pool. Surprised he never noticed my plan lol
