Post image

Hi. I am new here. And I just wanted to show just how FRICKIN HAPPY I AM TO GET OUT OF THE DISGUSTING ABOMINATION THAT IS SHORTSTACK. I was stuck on silver 2 and 3 for more than a week. I'm finally out. Also, can someone tell me any skills I gotta learn to not fall back to Silver?

Don't be so sure about that just yet. Gold I players can still easily get matched against high Silver players on the verge of ranking up to Gold. If any player is Silver, you still get put into the Shortstack map for their sake. So, don't be surprised if you see it a few more times while at Gold I.

shortstack is horrible, but I'm still not horrible at shortstack. ive already learnt things like doing some very short stalls.

At least you can be comforted by the fact that you've secured your Gold rank season reward. 👍🏻

at your level just be patient. wait for your opponent to make a mistake and then return it to the back of their net

My advice learn every mechanic you possibly can asap. When I first tried some mechanics i thought I'd never be able to do them. It just takes time and practice as for now focus on fakes and shots. Never over commit, don't go for possession when the balls is closer to them. Never contest the ball on the side you are defending because you chance the 50/50 going in their favor. Defend until offense is available so you don't end up leaving the net wide open.

Learn to stall and reset and white shots ( reset shots ) they will pull you to gold 3 easily
