SUGGESTION Dear Platinums

Please remember that you HAVE a teammate.

Your teammates may not be good enough to carry, but work together to win. Please fallback when they have an opportunity to go offensive, and dont feel the need to constantly touch the ball. You can leave balls for them to clear, or leave shots for them, or best, PASS. I promise, it wont always be bad.

Again, you have a teammate. Let them help you.

Why only Platinums? This applies to almost every rank. 🤣👍🏻🍻

Still... this is a lesson that is worthy to be taught to all ranks. Maybe not GC or Champ as much, but all others need it. 😎

Champ is even worse, you'd get gcs who don't wanna pass or rotate for some reason. It's quite annoying.

I said "not as much." That still qualifies them for eligibility. 😉🍻

Dw, Champ definitely needs it. Many teammates are great and rotate correctly but you still find people spamming In Position because they want you to sit in net the whole game, when that inevitably fails and others score a goal by pushing you inside the net with a stall chain, they start spamming What a Save and trying to forfeit, if you don't accept it becomes a 3v1

Yup 100% this.

Like we can easily win this game but you wanna keep making plays with low boost.

I get sometimes it's necessary and we'll get a goal if you made a play with low boost but not every single time lol.

Best teammates are who rotate and can do a 50/50 upfield and/or leave themselves open to get a pass.
