“Non-mechanical diamonds”

*hits flip reset on first try

[Guest-rhpl]

Napkin: *Coughs*
Kujulalu: "I'm sorry that's my fault, I shouldn't have inhaled at the same time as you and robbed your oxygen causing you to cough"

honestly for the tie breaker i would have liked to see all 8 of them deck it out in a 4v4 lol

[toubou]

Napking: These are the diamonds with the WORST mechanics. *Scores flip reset first try*
Me in champ not being able to do a simple air dribble: *chuckles nervously*

I feel like most of the challenges were mechanical based. So it would makes sense the plats would win.

Those mechanical challenges (flip reset, air dribbling & freestyle) for non mechanical Diamonds are not the best idea for this video, because it's like asking a basketball center player to score 3-point shot, while you ask playmaker player to do the same, it's obvious who's gonna win, no matter if playmaker is from worse team, that's his specialty, he trains those shots.

Thanks to mr napkin for giving us a chance to participate on the video

[Sektr_rl]

As much as this was a cool idea it wasn't the most fair on the non mechanical players. Good video just could have done with more even challenges

[attachedflower]

Its like having a strongman and a marathon runner, and to see whos "best" you give them loads of heavy weights so the marathon guys loose . Very unfair

[themattster]

"Diamonds blew a 3-1 lead" Yeah that just about sums up the entirety of diamond.

[beep]

I'm starting to see the value in spending 1500+ hours in RL, just makes me happy as a C3 to be able to hit open nets :)

[mr.bulldobs]

"But then again, they are plats which means they are not really a fan of thinking" That hit hard right in my little plat brain LUL

[modetallah]

How about a 3v3? You know, an actual standard match that happens in tourneys? I wonder why that wasn't a challenge.

[kilfox]

Most of the stages where mechanical based, pretty unfair

[bilomen]

This is a good example of how as people get better, they are more critical of themselves which is why the diamonds thought of their mechanics as bad compared to the plats who thought they where great

[xermen]

'Those open nets, they're just the worst idk' as a non mechanical diamond this is the essence of every game I'm in 😅

[sooperninja]

I feel like the second challenge was in the plats favor. Imo 1s is a more mechanical dependant mode compared to the rest

[slagaming]

There was a plat 3 who could airdribble for at least 20sec consistent and quad reset almost consistently. That was in season 14 his name was Pyroblaze. It was on ps4

[iglesiaskun]

got champ 1 div 3 without any mechanical knowledge, that's my biggest achievement in this game

[SouthpawsStudio]

"Non Mechanical Diamond" - Still better mechanics than me at Champ 2
