It's worth noting that Sunless has been doing these videos long before Epic took over Rocket League, many of his videos are quite critical of Epic as well@@rotaryking100

The good old 10000 hour long con.
i suspect he just gets home after a day of work or whatever, boots up rocket league, and then gets really fuckin stoned lol. like 5:1 odds that that's why he's still gold.
Prob lol
yup
This guy’s been playing so long he probably played every single one of us watching this video
As a gold myself I'll be keeping an eye out for him

@@jamesonbornholdt7302 how will you know if you see him? He changes his name all the time.
well... so long as you've been in gold or silver at some point in the last 4 years haha
Jokes on you, I’ve never played.
A big part of improving is also being exposed to more difficult and impressive mechanics. I didn’t make it out of platinum until I started watching high ranked players and learning some of the more impressive stuff you’re actually able to do in the game
for sure i like even with all the execuses this guy makes about teammates if he spent even 1000 hours on mechanics he could probably solo carry to diamond
“Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect”
That's a fact. How much has he actually tried to improve rather than mindlessly playing. I took a long break early on like season 3 then I saw how high the skill cap can be and I started researching how to actually get better. Self awareness pointing out your own mistakes isn't natural for most people and it's one of the few ways to actually grow in anything...
Practice makes permanent
that is the truth
@@Walklikelions I mindlessly played for like 24 hours and got to plat, i thought ocntinuing would get me to diamond, but i actually started training and here i am, 4 days worth of playtime later, im low champ/high diamond

Yes fax

@@littlecreeper8543 he just said he didn’t care about the game 😂 he doesn’t take it seriously 🤦
I think what we can take from this is how scary it is to get caught up in our ways and stuck in your habits in this game. To get better you have to adapt or end up like this guy, stuck in gold forever blaming your teammates.
not just in this game, this can apply to real life stuff as well. If you can't recognize you own mistakes you'll never improve.
Exactly
I have like 500 hours in rocket league and im champ 2. 500 hours already felt like a long time so idk how this guy can play for 10,000 hours in the same rank without getting tired of the game or quitting so props to him.
Yeah I'm 550 c1 rn and I can't see how one could play for 10 000 hours and not advance to some degree. Maybe like 1000 hours I could see for someone not as good but 10 000??? Hell no 💀
Lack of effort to practice outside of games and probably just lacking natural dexterity to get good at any game
@@cheapmoviesnow Even with trash dexterity you can isolate and drill the things you have problems with, your body will adapt to it
I just feel like he is having some small mental disorder, because he isn't making excuses of being bad at Rocket League - he is making excuses for everything. He said that he didn't use discord because all of his mics didn't want to work. I dunno, to me that's a red flag that something is a little off in his brain
@@nightrider2552 probably not a disorder but more of a why bother and blame others mentality.

So true
Dude this guy is goated fr fr. He could do no wrong!
Yup the definition of rl player
but not i lose mostly bc of my teammates, i play very good but my teammates always sell
This should almost be renamed:
HOW BLAMING YOUR TEAMMATES HOLDS YOU BACK FROM GETTING GOOD
Even after 10 000 Hours
i think blaming your teamates for mistakes and losses is fine if they actually made you lose, but dwelling on it is stupid, just move on at the end of the day if you deserve a rank you will eventually get there
There are times when a team mate makes the big mistake that leads to the loss, but if you go back and look at the replay, there are also gonna be a bunch of mistakes or misplays you made that could have either prevented a goal, or secured a goal. Acknowledge mistakes of course, but you can't help them, you can help yourself.
you just have to adapt to your teammate's play style, 30 seconds is enough to understand if he's a ball chaser, a coward or reasonable
there's no reason to rotate properly with a ball chaser, it won't work, just play very defensively like you're on a 1v1 and let him believe he's carrying
"Hardcore mode"
The biggest part about getting better is realizing you are the problem. I hate people like this dude that think they are never in the wrong
Even if your tm8 whiffs a ball that leads to a goal or even if he misses a easy save there is always something you could have done to prevent your tm8 from getting into that position in the first place. I'm not saying every goal that you concede is your fault, but I am saying that every goal you concede is never 100% completely your tm8's fault
@@luukherfst1209I get what you're saying but no
@@luukherfst1209it’s NEVER my fault. I’ve never once had my teammates do something right. they constantly concede goals and it’s always there fault

Some things never change
can you give a status update?
Status update pls??

How ironic 😂 all this dude does is complain about teammates but evidently, the more teammates he has, the higher his rank gets.
Dude needs to learn how to play around his teammates instead of expecting them to be perfect

Quite literally THE best example I could find of any one who has a problematic mindset is just self sabotaging. Teammates are never an issue, ever. They may be slumping for one game but possibly drag you up the next, the key is to play consistent, with a proper gameplan and solid mindset.
That’s cap. Teammates are usually the reason you win or lose. Getting a bad teammate when the other 2 players are good is an immediate death scentence if you are all close in skill even if you are the best in the lobby
Zen and a bronze would lose 100 out of 100 games vs 2 champ players
@@5-iwnl-596LMAO ZEN COULD 2v1 CHAMPS

but i think 2 grand champions could definitely beat zen
@@rayzersharpp 2v1 is so free. One person challenges and forces the ball and the other hits the free ball. Not even a pro is immune to losing to that.

@@TheAkira2023 you’re plat and tilted tho
I'd lose my mind at that point
Just started playing two weeks ago and have hit plat for 2v2s playing with a friend who also started at the same time as me. It's just basic communication and effort. "hey im getting back" "hey im going for the ball" is legit all you need to say and you can get out of gold with a little bit of skill.
We completely miss the ball sometimes or set up the other team with a bad hit. We laugh at our mistakes and we never blame each other. Anytime I make a mistake my friend is like it's all good I could have done better and when he makes a mistake I do the same thing.
Just basic social skills mixed with patience can take you a long way in life. Also, awesome video.
Homie has spent 1.21 years of his life in a constant state of tilted. I have to applaud him for that resilience even though it is mostly self-induced.

This guy is the definition of a teammate in rocket league.
Blames you for everything, is worse than you.
Honestly tho. Toxic teammates will ball chase, and leave you alone on defense.. Then they blame you when you inevitably make a mistake.
We all know he didn’t miss that shot on purpose lol
Normally, any teammate that is reallllllllly toxic I dm to 1v1 and they either accept and lose or just leave lmao
nah he destroyed those diamonds im sure he just needs a better tm8
once i got on my alt to try to get higher than d3 and i lost half my games in plat 3 for some reason even tho im a consistant diamond, i probably wasnt used to the gameplay
This guy is literally the character Musty played in his "I do the opposite of what my hired coach told me" video lmao
I actually thought the same thing 🤣🤣
In addition to that, he is quite literally the guy that tried telling Musty he didn't know how to play defense because Musty couldn't defend a 140kph redirect from Flipsid3 (pro players). Musty made a post on Reddit titled "When Flipsid3 queues US-East" and he commented on that post acting like he knew better than all the higher ranked players... as a Bronze (2017).
@@HoraryHellfire really? It's clear to see why he's been hard stuck 😅
@@shaneovids4852 Yeah dude. He never acknowledged any of his mistakes, never thought that people higher ranked than him know better, and he never listened to any advice anyone ever gave him even after some kind people gave him a replay analysis.
I even 1v1'd him to get him to put his money where his mouth is after he claimed to be "low-ranked, but not low-skilled" and whatnot. Destroyed him 16-1. Shoulda been 16-0. You can actually see that if you put his profile in the replay website "ballchasing" and sort by Private, in which the only replay is me 1v1ing him.

I have a friend that is GC and his tips are really helpful. Thanks to him I'm improving very fast. Of course, you need to accept your mistakes otherwise you will end up like the guy in the video and look for excuses to justify your loss.

@@doctorjawline7608 in RL, whoever has the best spawn goes for kickoff - 10k guy had the best spawn, he did not go for kickoff, instead drives towards the ball as if he was going for the kickoff, after which he does a weird turn rotating _in front_ of his teammate, says the way he plays is so that whoever is in the back goes to kickoff (which explains a lot about his rank), proceeds to go to goal, Sunless loses kickoff bc he wasn't meant to go for kickoff and was expecting his teammate - the 10k guy - with the best spawn to go for it, opponent takes the shot, Mr. 10k guy can't save the shot (which kinda defeats the purpose of being a goalie) and ends up conceading a goal in the stupidest way possible, while still trying to make a case for himself.

Most low ranks can relate to this dude especially the whiffing part 😅
He looks like the noobiest noob until he gets close to and hits the ball. Then you see his touches, although slow, are pretty precise
For real... I've started prioritizing rotations and i'll just let my teammates go after every ball like they normally would, then save the shot the opponents double commit to and send it back into their goal. Best strategy I have tried yet!
I'm c1, but I saw that aerial miss right in front of the net and he undershot and it literally could have been a replay of me

I suck at 1s
most relatable thing ive read all day
The 1s grind is the best and worst grind in rocket league
BRUH
@wachudoin I go by whichever one is the highest. Usually my 1s.
I don’t even play 1s. I tried it and got a fair rank but I just don’t play it for some reason
I'm guilty of this sometimes, too... but having an excuse for EVERY damn thing... come on man. That's the real reason. He's literally resisting his own improvement by displacing blame.
exactly what i was thinking, even when it was obviously his fault he simply wouldn’t admit it and made up some stupid bs
@Regdu Geht ? I’m sure this is some insult to me, but I’m too old to understand it so ha! Joke’s on you!
He’s joking around. He’s chilling out lol, nothing wrong with it. Does he sound like someone who cares enough to rank up?
@@walkerkeithley2491 it’s how he enjoys the game lol, he’s chilling.
@@jdc4316 People keep saying this, the point isn't that he's chilling, noone is laying into him because he wants to play for fun, that's fine... It's the bs excuses and constant blaming of others that he's getting called out on
This guy has more hours than me and he's in gold... HOW LMAO
Wow
Lol
That's because his team mates are bad :'(
Nice
He liked feet more
Ive been playing since day one release and haven't gotten past plat.
I have had many breaks but always come back. It's a great game just hard to really put the time into learning unless you got nothing better to do for hours ☺️ its always just been a fun causal game. Some competition to keep it interesting

This was a very interesting video. Mindset aside, the one thing that still baffles me, is that surely after 10,000 hours on the game your mechanics would be able to solely carry you into champ at least.
I honestly feel that while his mindset was bad, if he had spent even 5% of those hours in freeplay, just randomly hitting the ball around, not even explicitly practicing anything, he would be so much better.
I never played free style only rank and you still learn some new mechanics
He dribbles, goes for aerials(at least in the video, he hits them all consistently), he has the mechanics. His game sense is just so horrendous that it has stopped him from ever ranking up. This is a textbook case of Dunning-Kruger effect, except that he never actually thinks he's bad and is stuck at the first curve. He was in denial the whole video, making up excuses for terrible plays. His teammate dribbling the ball and he cuts in from the side "trying to pinch" that's straight up ball chasing. He would do a lot better in 1s, he doesn't seem to like the team play aspect of the game.
@@choojunwyng8028 yeah absolutely, mechanic's alone he is better than a gold(i'm a gold so i know the skill level) but damn that game sense is horrible, no wonder he doesn't rank up and always blames the teammates
yes! Unfathomable how you can spend sooo much time in this game and still miss basic really simple shots.
@@bobberry1463 repetition leads to mastery of certain mechanics that's why training packs and freeplay are important, you can still learn in ranked but it's gunna be at a sloths pace.
"Gods Dad"
Yeah, that name should tell you everything you need to know lol...
wym
@@eliarnold8523 in a way implying he's better than god itself
He probably is toxic or people hate on his name and then is toxic...
Its a loosing spiral
@@thebestever42 loooool my name is PLZDONTFFKTHX
"i'm the best player in gold, but i'm still in gold because everyone else doesn't want me to win"
This dude is a big ass baby
@@KiidDivine3 lol WHAT
I agree
@@Roeclean he is. What?
That quote goes kinda hard
Watching this just now it's suddenly become clear to me how much has happened to the ranks since. The guys from the final lobby do not look how diamond players do right now.
I feel this man. Its not the teammates that hold him back its his mentality towards them. I play with randoms and my strategy is to spend the first 2 minutes playing slow and analyzing my team and opponents. Once i get an idea of how they play i start to get more aggressive and fast knowing how my team will react
@Nathaniel Shrock getting that good sync is so good when you center high and the dude is right there, ready for it
_chefs kiss_
@Nathaniel Shrock Are you out of gold yet?
I play with my best friend, and I know exactly what he will always do.
THROW THE FUCKING SHOT.
Bruh i do the same but my mechanics dont catch up to my ideas
Same
“I’ve got 10,000 hours and I’m in gold. Is that good?”
Lmao
Yes it's good 😔
@@Legendary_Banana damn we got a 15k silver over here
@@badateverything2931 lol
Stop flexing bro
If he hates his teammates, he can just play ones right?
that's some good fcking argument. I would want to know his 1s playstyle / Rank. He'd probably improve even more if he played that
Surprisingly, he also gets terrible teammates in 1s too...
@@Xune2000 LAAG
I was wondering this.
@@juliansahne3944 it's really not a valid argument. 1s is a different game entirely, and there are pros that won't even touch it. Most people are quite a few ranks lower in 1s than their other ranks.
The proof is in his rank. Teammates might be able to hold you back from maybe 1 or 2 ranks, but this guy is a fucking gold after 10k hours. Obviously HE'S the teammate holding people back.
At 13:43
I completely agree.
If you don't focus on putting practice into certain sections of whatever your trying to do, you will get better but it's gonna be so small that you'll never notice any improvement.
If you don't focus on improving certain sections at a time all you are ever gonna do is tread water and not get any better at what you are trying to improve at.
"The way I play whoever is in the back does the kick off" that's the reason hes in gold right there
I thought he said diagonal
@@sunlesskhan9104 stfu
Yeah, the order I was taught was diagonal/left/faking and I picked up on the diagonal automatically because it's common sense and was told that left has right of way...
(Side note:kinda just a rant next about understanding this dude JSYK) Blaming tm8s only goes so far but I understand him having been D2 dragged to G2, I've tried everything from ignoring teammates seamingly purposely sabotaging the game which some DO do for the littlest thing ((whiffs and I'm not there to auto-save it because I put trust in them but it's my fault)) to just giving up and playing for the other team to possibly encourage them to win even more ((stroke their ego)). AND even worse, they can't understand your level of skill so they think you're ballchasing and not rotating properly because they weren't positioned in the right spot to make a necessary shot to gain ground. But also then again those ranks are for DROPSHOT. For 3's it's about 50% better and I've gone D2 for 2 seasons and placed D for them both both, currently been dragged to p2 and crawling back to Diamond, 1/4 of the time it is my fault since both my controllers have stick drift that comes and goes at varying levels by the second and also in totality just ignore button pushes (though I suspect the ignores can be an old aged console issue).
@ra al wtf racist??
@ra al stfu
Bro this guy is the definition of toxicity, without the sweaty tryhard part lol
Fr it's such a weird combo
@Timothy Smith golds can be some of the most toxic players
It seems like when he's tilted, his inconsistent actions make his teammates confused. Even being a ball chaser is better cause at least it is consistent.
Definitely agreed!
I was the same but with lower hours. I disabled chat and became plat 3 and still a bit stuck there!
Plat->diamond is imo the hardest transition in the game, I would recommend listening to pro players about rotation and mechanics and such
yeah i just got out of plat man it took me like 400 hours bro. All I’m saying is just be more defensive and put shots on net. A decent amount of time they will go in
@hasninehostages correction: its the hardest easy transition in rocket league
it took me 400 hours to get from bronze to plat, but 200 to get to diamond (note that i never did any training except to learn easy techniques like half flip) and i can tell you that the most important thing that wil hugely improve your game is just watching the rotation tutorial videos, only once was enough for me and immediatelly i saw incredible results
currently sitting at a comfortable, freshly hit champ 2 with 800 hours yotal play time and believe it will take me at least 250 hours of training to get at least close to gc
@@panz.4343 lucky you well i do the same but my teammates isn’t defensive like me they always push and i im goal keeper. It may take time
Imagine what does he feel ater watching any montage titled "this is how 10000hours experience looks like"

@@Sylvadorr yea i m kinda of a slow learner
Ok I swear I used to play with this dude on PlayStation I think his name was something along the lines of “sledgehammergod” he sounds so familiar. I was playing with him when I was gold. Sunless if you see this comment I’m dying to know it’s killing me. I’d love to play with this dude again after 3 years if it’s the right guy.
When u actually can't tell if he's trolling or being serious xD
Honestly. Did he just commit to the stereotype or is he where it comes from?
@@JUNK_ZONE whats the steretype outta curiosity?
@@badateverything2931 the stereotype is blaming everything on your teammates and not working to actively improve your own play
Ironically, enough I was stuck in gold until I stopped blaming my teammates. No matter what they are doing, I have to adapt myself to their play. Sometimes that means staying behind them and letting them be the star of the show.
I love how in the end it really was his teammates keeping him back lmao
Not really tho. I have less than 2k hours in the game and idc what tm8 I get but I'll clap 2 golds with one hand.
It wasn't though. He quite literally practiced and rose in rank. The dude never practiced, never accepted advice, and consistently stayed in low ranks. The instant he respected someone enough to listen to their advice and practice, he rose up in rank.
Also, you do realize that he faced those Diamond players _after_ he improved from practice, right? He was Gold 2 before the video happened. He then improved to Plat 2 after practicing, then faced Diamond players, in which are only 2-3 ranks from his own.
This video actually proves it was his fault for his rank all along. Had he just practiced a bit from the start and ignored teammates, he would easily be Champion by now.
@@HoraryHellfire yeah, with all due respect to him it's honestly really hard to stand his excuses for every mistake he makes, and then blaming it all on his teammates.
@@Theactualgamer1 I found myself in pretty much the same situation as this guy. I had 500 hrs. (not nearly 10000 though) in the game and was still in gold. I'd hop on play some solo queue just for fun, with no dedication to improvement. I then started doing free play and played with a friend (with less hrs.) and actually tried to improve. 150 hrs. later and I'm in diamond-diamond 2.
@@Theactualgamer1 he doesn’t take the game seriously... well done
Bet he never said: "That's my fault" in his life.
Im c2 at 700 hours. What i do is think "what did i do wrong" he has never thought that
@@SeanRPS self reflection is key to improvement. It's so fascinating that this dude seems to be hard-stuck in his mindset for 10.000 hours.
@@SeanRPS facts. I just got c1. Always blame myself it's my fault I should have done this and I would have succeeded. Reminding myself of that combined with asking for advice from my peers is what helps. I might be at the same rank as my tm8s but everyone excels at different things. I'm not the best at saving while rotating back, asking for advice from someone who is helps.
I bet he doesn't have: Sorry!, My bad., Oops!, or My fault. Quick chats enabled LOL
@@SeanRPS i’m c1 at 216. that’s rly good right
The perfect way of saying:
"I have over 10000 hours on rocket league"
"Oh, so that means you're extremely skilled, correct?"
or you leave the game running when not playing
Minute 7:24 and I literally have tears in my eyes. I have about 3000 hours in Rocket League and am a Gold3 - Plat1 player. But my reason, and actually I expected it here, is my hardware and my bad internet connection. I've seen as many blue screens in RL as SunlessKhan has uploaded videos.
I really love the competitive, turn-based principle of the game and the challenge with toxic players, of which there are only a few^^, to make their day a little bit better, because most of these souls just lack validation and a little more love in the real world World.
_If you read this and you feel me, be sure my soul is hugging you._
This is Rocket League!
btw im Dia 2 now, bought a new pc ^^
Les goo rob z hope u get to champ
@@robz537 and now?

Oof lmao
i laughed audibly so loud to this comment

kinda mean but ok
@@anoverprivilegedfirst-worl9661 boohoo
TLDR; excuses excuses excuses.
Has the obvious capability, but blaming your teammates, and ignoring your faults will always hold you back
Hi, sunless! I've been a fan of you for a while. Seeing this video made me feel less bad about myself, especially because I have 200+ hours on Rocket League, and I'm still stuck in gold 2.
I've been playing RL for several years.I used to watch my son play and I was instantly hooked. I bounce in between gold and platinum. I'm not toxic towards other players and couldn't care less if I improve. I just really enjoy the game win or lose.
wait u saw ur son play so u started playing now thats an Awesome dad (dad right?)
hello average random teammate
I’m similar. I hate that I have to warm up for 10-15 minutes before I’m 85% of my best. So usually just jump right in at plat, fall to G and then finish at plat again. With 2 kids, I only have an hour or two at a time but sometimes I do t even want to rank higher overall for this reason.
I installed RL for my kid, because he just likes any car game. He liked it. Then I started playing local against him, mostly rumble because... kids. Then I started playing casual doubles with him. Now he doesn't care anymore and I'm addicted.
I’m you but add a bunch of toxic 16 year old to that
"I'm a bit of an angry guy, to quote scar face." pretty rare thing to hear anyone to quote so specifically for themselves. he must truly be a really angry person.
honestly this is the kinda content im subscribed for. Sunless is a great ambassador for Rocket League and always tries to find ways to make it more enjoyable to everyone. The sportsmanship is outstanding and this behavior should be rewarded even more
Daaaaammmmmnnn... I was hardstuck in gold for 2 whole years giving up over and over again but one day i got up to my rank up game and beat the team 7-0 and i felt like i was the goat
I love how educated you are and the 10k hours rule is dead on. With proper training 10k hours can make you a master but without the right training it would be almost pointless, great video!
The 10k hour myth is just that. A myth. Its a passing mention by a self-absorbed clown, with zero expertise in the relevant field(s) to make such a statement. It just got picked up and spread like wild-fire, because its sufficiently dumbed down to be understood by enough people. Anything you build upon the foundation of completely random bullshit is going to be built on completely random bullshit. There are actual academic fields dealing with these topics, you could check those out.
Or you could go "uff, that sounds like a lot of work" and instead decide the random bullshit that took you 3 seconds to "understand", and sort of "felt right" is probably the correct answer.
There is actually a third option, but it is the option people generally avoid. It is going "i do not have the expertise, education or talent to make assessments about this, my opinion of this is irrelevant, because it is based on nothing" and shutting the fuck up. That used to be considered honorable and respectable, but things sure changed.
The irony of this being on a video essentially about Dunning-Kruger is poetic.
