Aw wow! I feel you to there! I've noticed a few reasons why I'm so stuck at diamond. I've been so used to looting games since childhood, where people endlessly grind for functional items to progress through the game, and that had conditioned my brain to get worse at I progressed. But with rocket league the proper mindset is one where your focus is maxed out and it remains maxed out, and that allows one to have fun. I've been struggling with this, but I know it's a way forward for me. It doesn't even explain 1% of the whole situation though. For me rocket league is such a complex game, that I have realizations like this all the time, and I've been trying to balance these mindsets for particular times in rocket league. Brain conditioning is a huge deal. It's really easy to get lost trying to rely on your own brain to progress without your conscious effort. But with rocket league things get so blurry if you aren't able to explain what is happening to you at a given moment.
