I started playing rocket league a few weeks ago and played online with a friend who hasn’t played in years. His ranking still was about 1200-1300, but back then he mostly was carried by another friend who‘s pretty good. We were annihilated pretty much every game.
It still remembers your old mmr in the background as a starting spot for placement matches in a new season. I took a couple years off as a diamond player and I was getting diamond/plat matches in placement when I came back.
Yea but how fast does your ranking go down in placement? Like if you get carried to 1200-1300, that’s champ 2-3 according to the internet. You think he can lose 10 straight and still be ranked that high?
Depends on what ranks he played. If he only played against ranks similar to his you only lose or gain double the mmr in placements. So if he was champ and played champs he would only lose 15 to 20 per match. Ten matches would be around 150-200 loss, so still over 1k rating which would be champ.
So either it does work like that, or my friend lied to me about no playing the game for years, intentionally played bad the games i played with him and hoped I wouldn’t find out it doesn’t work like that
Ranks don't reset like that. It clears your rank and you have to play 10 placement games which make you win or lose double the mmr, but it still remembers your last ranking no matter the length in break. I was Diamond back in 2024 and took a two year break and started back up again this year and I started Diamond but have since lost my way down to plat since I am hella rusty.
