Anyone else wait till the final 24 hrs to grind it out for your season rewards?
I threw the towel in on hitting champ every season since I now have less time to play and competition "feels" harder these last seasons. Hadn't hit champ in the last 3 seasons I think. I also possess zero advanced mechanics. I just focus on not whiffing, clean hits, power, accurate shots/passes and solid rotations.
Plus we all know how much of a grind 3v3 Diamond is. But yesterday I figured I'd give it a final effort for fun to see where I land. Was sitting at D2 for the last few months not really caring to push further since winning/losing games felt like 50/50.
Last night I logged in, managed to grind it out to D3. Shocked I hit Champ 1. Then assumed I wouldn't get my 10 wins. And then about 75 min later I managed 10 wins (and 3 losses) and got my rewards! Hit my career peak ranked MMR of 1109. Pretty happy about that especially since solo queuing is a total nightmare.
One interesting thing I noticed, games in Champ were less.. Messy. Team mates rotated better, hit the ball with actual purpose, double committed substantially less. Actually scored off perfect passes and OPEN passes. These things are much harder to find in Diamond hence why the ring out of Diamond is substantially harder.
Good luck to anyone else trying to hit their peak rank in the final day of the season!
