lol classic shouting into the void...I feel you guys... I've been there numerous times. I honestly don't understand ranking in this game (no I mean fundamentally at all) so I keep my "Rank Amateur" banner permanently on for myself.
I'm about the skill level you are.
50/50 at about 80%
Basic arial competence.
Decent ball awareness and prediction.
Understanding of basic rotation and kickoff.
Heck I even have decent shadow defense.

I'm trash off the wall though... really need to work on that...

Same complaints you have...no understanding how these guys get these tournament trophies and make it to such ranks the way they play...

My only theory is that ball chasers inevitably score...and if you chase long enough...well...

Now I just go with it...I let my 2 "teammates" chase and I play defense as best as I can (I'm decent at it and can even defend against 2 chasers)...

I play fast...if I'm in the flow state I can usually drive the ball and literally drop it in front of the goal...
