Goals and saves barely change from Bronze to SSL. What climbs most at every rank step is discipline: having boost, spending it where it buys something, and getting back up to speed after a challenge. Speed and touches separate the ranks too, but they don't win you the game you're in right now.
I ran the Unravel rating over 300 ranked 3v3 replays per rank. 100 is the average of recent GC3/SSL games, so even ranked SSL lands a little under it.
| Bronze | Silver | Gold | Plat | Diamond | Champ | GC | SSL | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 50 | 58 | 64 | 73 | 82 | 88 | 94 | 97 |
| Discipline | 39 | 48 | 57 | 68 | 80 | 89 | 95 | 99 |
| Defense | 70 | 78 | 82 | 89 | 95 | 97 | 97 | 97 |
| Duels | 62 | 70 | 76 | 85 | 90 | 95 | 96 | 97 |
| Control | 65 | 67 | 70 | 74 | 79 | 84 | 90 | 94 |
| Threat | 92 | 90 | 92 | 94 | 96 | 99 | 100 | 101 |
| Impact | 103 | 102 | 102 | 102 | 102 | 101 | 102 | 102 |
Impact stays flat
Impact, the goals, assists and saves, sits just above 100 at every rank. Bronze games just have more of everything: 5.8 goals a game in 3v3 against 4.7 at SSL. A Bronze player scores and saves about as much as an SSL player, since everyone around them misses too.
Discipline goes from 39 to 99, the biggest climb of any category, and it is the biggest jump at every rank step up to Champion. From Champion to SSL, control climbs just as fast. Duels (+35) and control (+29) follow. If you are stuck, the gap to the next rank is most likely in there, not in your shooting.
Speed climbs with rank
| Bronze | Silver | Gold | Plat | Diamond | Champ | GC | SSL | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time supersonic | 5.0% | 5.8% | 6.6% | 8.1% | 9.9% | 12.8% | 15.6% | 17.2% |
| Time at slow speed | 64% | 60% | 56% | 52% | 49% | 44% | 42% | 40% |
| Touches per minute | 3.9 | 4.4 | 4.7 | 5.0 | 5.3 | 5.7 | 6.2 | 6.5 |
| Whiff rate | 18% | 15% | 15% | 14% | 14% | 14% | 13% | 12% |
SSL players are supersonic more than three times as often as Bronze players. Yet from Gold up, the faster team wins only about half its games (see what wins games at your rank). Speed comes with hours of play. In the game you're playing right now, staying behind the ball wins more.
What to practice
- In the game: discipline and defense. Don't chase at zero boost, don't get caught in front of the ball.
- In free play: speed and clean touches. They build up over hundreds of hours.
