gameplay-tips

[mortal quail]

Like rotations, positioning, shooting, saving, challenging, ball control

[cyan sage]

My defensive positioning is pretty poor tbh but I'm usually the aggressor and put pressure when I play

[upper lily]

generally the easiest way to carry is to just play 3rd saving 100 boost until the ball comes to you then you take it and score

you cant carry by going for every ball and having no boost

[mortal quail]

My advice
Learn to play passive and not pressure based. You NEED to be able to play both styles effectively in champ just due to how inconsistent everyone is

[haughty shoal]

How can I dribble the ball when I’m about to score I’m kinda new to rocket league I’m like 3 weeks in

[cyan sage]

Alr

[upper lily]

well you can tell someone to play passive and not pressure based but theyre going to have no clue what you mean

[cyan sage]

Do you mean dribbling as in carrying it on your roof or just ball control on the ground ?

[wintry charm]

@cyan sage

[haughty shoal]

Carrying it on my roof

[mortal quail]

Thats true, but he can ask if he is unsure

[cyan sage]

Just go into free play and practice

[mortal quail]

Hard to explain via text sometimes

[cyan sage]

You can probably watch a YouTube tutorial for tips too

[signal lintel]

Roll the ball to the side then drive into it to get it off the ground

[upper lily]

i think the best ranked playstyle if youre under ssl is to just play 3rd saving 100 boost then practice your mechanics so youre able to solo the ball in when you get it

justins playstyle on nrg when they were doing really good in like rlcs 6 was just staying back with 100 boost and solo playing it in

that just doesnt work though anymore in 2023 cause defense lmao

[signal lintel]

You'll just be into 1v2 defense constantly and/or starving your teammates

[upper lily]

bruh taking a 100 boost and saving it while staying back isnt starving anyone

[signal lintel]

Then you will be in 1v2 because no pressure

[upper lily]

a lot of people just take 100 boost then use it pointlessly push too far up the ball goes flying up and theyre too awkward to go for it and they lose offense

[mortal quail]

The style works if your either able to set up teammates and make enemies awkward or just double reset every ball

However as someone who has done that
Its quite boring

[upper lily]

im also talking about 3s 2s is a lot more simple

[mortal quail]

Ah ya 3s

[wintry charm]

@pearl venture

[upper lily]

2s you just stay diagonally from your teammate to cover the 2nd and 3rd position since you dont have a 3rd

you should never be directly behind or directly beside your teammate in 2s

[pearl venture]

what's up?

[signal lintel]

If you have near 100 boost in 3s you should expect to become 2nd or 1st man

[upper lily]

the guy with 100 boost should be 3rd

[mortal quail]

3s is fun if you actually go for the ball, teammates tend to let you go more often than not

[mortal quail]

Ya that isn't right

[upper lily]

if youre 3rd with low boost youre not going to be able to keep pressure if the ball goes flying up which happens most of the time

[signal lintel]

And rotating into 2nd or 1st

[mortal quail]

If you get 100, you should push up
Aka rotate so the teammates who have no boost can go grab and become 3rd man

Sitting as 3rd man on 100 for too long is eh

[signal lintel]

Ya if you don't push up then you force your team to play 2v3 basically

[upper lily]

most of the time people under gc dont rotate back at all and when they do they push too far up the easiest way to carry is just staying back with 100 waiting for the ball to come to you then you solo play it

ive tried many different playstyles on alts in this game that is the most effective way to carry that ive found

[mortal quail]

That is unfortunately true
Its not that it's the best strat but it's the most consistent.

[signal lintel]

If you are under-ranked maybe that's true. For "normal" players you need to rotate into 2nd or 1st to keep rotation flowing. Yeah people won't rotate out if you are never pushing up, because they can't leave if you don't pressure

[upper lily]

people try to carry by going for every ball but youre not able to do anything with the ball by constantly going youre just going to have low boost making bad touches all the time i think its 100x more effective to play patient waiting for the other team to throw the ball away to counter with full boost

ive done that same playstyle to carry to around 1600-1700 then from there it usually doesnt work because of peoples defense

[mortal quail]

Ranked is 75% just consistency, that style works cause oh inconsistent the styles are

[upper lily]

it works until people learn to stop throwing the ball away then you have to actually challenge lmao

[signal lintel]

Ok so it's a boosting strat but that doesn't help for people at the right rank who can't make solo outplays as 3rd

[upper lily]

but people be throwing the ball to the other team on 90% of their touches until like 1700

if you cant make solo plays as 3rd you should just practice it then you rank up

all the best players that came up are solo play carry based players

well if someone wants to play team based they can but its not the most effective way to rank up

[signal lintel]

Solo carrying at your actual rank is different than carrying at a lower rank, that's the difference

[upper lily]

if someones like champ 1 atm and they practice directional air roll everyday on the rings maps to improve their car control then practice their solo plays in training packs and freeplay for a month theyd be able to carry themself to c3 instead of trying to play team based and blaming their teammates all the time

[digital sand]

can anyone tell me wat ima doing wrong with my speed flip

[upper lily]

i dont think theres any point in trying to play team based in rl until youre over 1700

yea just be black and u get ssl

[eternal plover]

even better learn good positioning and rotation and to play around your teammate not instead, and you'll get gc+ without needing to aerial

[upper lily]

you need good positioning to be able to solo play the ball in which is what i was talking about before im not saying you dont need positioning

once you have solo play mechanics you just need to play patient and have good boost management

you can have zen mechanics and get no goals if youre always out of position or up too far

the most common mistake by far i see people make in this game is pushing up too far as the 3rd

[signal lintel]

Ya you can train certain things and then use those strengths to your advantage and carry. Or you can just play normally and be more well-rounded. Sure you can just play for long term improvement until you are at a certain skill level but even if that is more time-efficient I don't think anyone would prefer playing that way

[cyan sage]

[upper lily]

its like in cod people who try to flank and play patient get higher kd people who rush straight down the mid always die its better to play patient then rush everything

[wide flower]

Hi

[upper lily]

the biggest problem with RL in NA is everyone sees firstkiller and wants to be the fastest player in the world and now ranked is just a zoo

ranked was 100x more tolerable 2020 and previous

i contemplate moving to eu just to be able to play ranked

actually im tryna move to mena theyre all demons in ranked

[stable zinc]

ok, well take ur time ill be waiting

[primal furnace]

CAN SOMEONE LOOK OVER MY GAME PLAY AND TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG AND CORRECT???? IM D3
DM ME IF POSSIBLE

[mortal quail]

Not sure of MENA
But as someone who has played on EU its honestly just as bad. Everyone just waits and doesn't go for the ball. They basically all play off slow solo plays but they are bad. Then once you lose they will flame you.

[upper lily]

that would be a lot easier to play in though when you have good solo play mechanics

na you go for the ball and 0.01 seconds later youre getting prejumped

[wind field]

on a 6 game dub rn

[cyan sage]

Niceee

[fleet lance]

Guys how to get out of platinum? Im getting normal enemies and dumb team8 that do nothing really, i can do normally flicks, half flips, wall plays, wave dashes chain dashes, hook shots, and etc but my team8 just not letting me get from it

[upper lily]

i just figured out the default steam deadzone when you have controller support on is different than the default deadzone with it disabled

idk waht deadzone default even uses it doesnt look like steam controller support square cross or circle

its like a hybrid between cross and circle

does anyone have a ps4 controller they can tell me what the defaultd eadzone is someone told me ps5 controller is worse because its a diff deadzone

you just need the ballchasing.com controller plugin

[mortal quail]

Plat: get better at defending and mastering stuff you learned in gold. Honestly stop trying to aerial for every ball, use your judgement to decide if you should aerial or not. Learn backpost rotations and hitting the ball off backboard. Should be said that dont go for air dribbles or ceiling shots idc if you are consistent with them. Playing smart and reading the play will allow you to rank up

[fleet lance]

Bro im doing all of it

[cyan sage]

then just get out of plat

[fleet lance]

Im rotating every game behind my team8, im saving all backboard shots, im saving basically anything, but im not be able to play 1 vs 2

Im getting like 600+ points for game and my teammate 26

[cyan sage]

theres your issue, rotating behind, being on backboard, and not trying to score

[fleet lance]

Bro im trying but I can't with this teammates

[cyan sage]

600+ points of save farming and not a single counter play, this is crazy, truly plat mentality

[fleet lance]

Try to play with my teammates that missing every ball, you will understand it

[cyan sage]

it's plat, if it's really that big of an issue, just be good enough to 1v3, you dont even need much other than hitting the ball until champ anyway

why're you trying to play with tm8s if they miss the ball, just play for yourself??

its your rank you want to raise, not tm8s

So focused on tm8s rank you cant even win for yourself

[fleet lance]

Im not

[cyan sage]

then win?

[fleet lance]

Im focused mostly for defence 75% and scoring 25%

Im not going for stupid balls

[cyan sage]

scoring should be 75%, it's plat, your opponents cant score either

[fleet lance]

Im not challenge not near the gates

[cyan sage]

you're not going for any ball that has potential of going in if you're still plat

[cyan sage]

what this even mean

[fleet lance]

My english is bad a little bit sorey if i will choose uncorrect words or sentences

[cyan sage]

you wont challenge for possession if it's on your half?

thats how to lose rocket league 101, play to take possession, not play to defend

[fleet lance]

I'm challenging, but only if it's like in 50-70 meters from gates

[cyan sage]

?? thats just never challenging 😭

[fleet lance]

Bro u can't understand, I can't do mostly shots, i was doing basically anything, my opponents will just flick me and that's all

[cyan sage]

learn to challenge

plats are flicking you? you're in smurf queue wtf

[fleet lance]

I got in prev two games

S 10 winner on champ

And on other s 10 diamond

[cyan sage]

how much time are you giving them to allow a plat to setup a dribble 😭

[fleet lance]

Im not allowing

[cyan sage]

Aint no way you're focused on titles 😭

[fleet lance]

My teammate does

[cyan sage]

if your tm8 gets flicked it's a free counter play for you unless you're 9 years away from net

you're unable to use the pressure your tm8s applying, average plat but it's the reason you're losing

[fleet lance]

Im just staying behind him trying to saving shots and sometimes score when opponents doing a mistake

My teammates just driving to the ball and miss it completely

Like silvers

[cyan sage]

so you're behind tm8, opponent is dribbling, and flicks your tm8, and it goes in?

[signal lintel]

Try to challenge without needing a long time to recover

[fleet lance]

Bro no

[cyan sage]

plats hitting 45 degree flicks crossmap now-a-days @signal lintel ??

[fleet lance]

My teammate just driving into the ball, missing it completely

[signal lintel]

I would know, as a fellow plat

[fleet lance]

And i need to save 1 vs 2

[cyan sage]

If he misses, then you can just take it

[signal lintel]

Stay farther behind and don't stop moving

[fleet lance]

Bro im behind him, he tried to "challenge" but completely missed and ball is in hands of enemy

[cyan sage]

the way im imagining it, his tm8 has ball prio and just misses, and he's in net and now in a 1v2, why is he in net? idk, plat gameplay

[signal lintel]

Yeah it's gonna happen a lot, there are two plats on the other team so they do it too

[cyan sage]

ok so tm8 missses, and your opponent is now instantly dribbling and flicking you?

[jaunty basin]

How do I click on looking to play request?

Like accept

[signal lintel]

Ya it could be that or following too close, no way to know ig

[cyan sage]

you dont, the bot is shit and broken

[jaunty basin]

Ok

[cyan sage]

nah if he were too close he could prob just 50, it's plat

[signal lintel]

Well he's saying tm8 whiffs and they concede so 🤷‍♂️

[cyan sage]

it's plat, they're rolling the ball at him 😭

[signal lintel]

[cyan sage]

trust me, i played in plat yesterday

[fleet lance]

Bro i did yesterday 7 saves, 3 epic and 4 normal, and no he don't flick, he takes time to get ball on car and only then try to just did something that looks like a flick

[signal lintel]

Fun

[cyan sage]

you're remembering your save counts? how many goals did you get wtf

0? step it up wtf

[fleet lance]

3 goals 7 saves..

I lost 3:4 in overtime

[cyan sage]

so just take the ball when he goes to get it ontop of his car??

[signal lintel]

I should msg here with my total saves everyday

[fleet lance]

Enemies had 11 shots together

[cyan sage]

should be 7 goals, 3 saves, 7:0

[mortal quail]

Bros letting them take free shots

[cyan sage]

ong, he's watching plats set up dribbles

[fleet lance]

Bro, u wasn't playing with my teammates, this is worse then hell

[signal lintel]

@fleet lance try playing based on what you actually expect your teammates to do instead of playing based on what they SHOULD do

[cyan sage]

?? it's plat, whats tm8 gotta do with it

you cant blame tm8s until tm8s actually matter, you simply werent good enough

[mortal quail]

Tbf it's plat, you can easily 1v2 that rank and win. Most aren't saving basic powershots

[fleet lance]

Im playing on what im expecting already

[cyan sage]

it's plat, if you were better you could just win, put me in a plat lobby, if i touch the ball, i score

[fleet lance]

Bru

[mortal quail]

You aren't listening my guy

[cyan sage]

you're expecting the wrong thing then

[signal lintel]

I think you should try new strategies because whatever you're doing isn't working lol

[cyan sage]

he's on 2022 @mortal quail gameplay, sit in net and counter play, except he doesnt counter, just clears it mid

k

k

[signal lintel]

Same frfr

[mortal quail]

I'll take it lmao

[cyan sage]

I never said you score

k

[mortal quail]

I do score

[cyan sage]

Ero2Bosnia

[mortal quail]

Hey wtf

[signal lintel]

[mortal quail]

Thats not his username

[fleet lance]

The wrong thing? Im just staying behind him and he missing, u think that i should go for counter attack and waiting for teammate to give me pass and not miss?

[cyan sage]

cap

[mortal quail]

Thats mine and I'm not doing anything

[cyan sage]

I think you should just be the one going for the ball to begin with, and then scoring that ball, and then repeating that process till the game ends

[cyan sage]

if you aint doing anything, you tryna coach me

[mortal quail]

Don't wait or go for passes, go for your own plays and be on the ball. If your letting your plat teammates do everything, obv it isn't working

You should be shooting and scoring
Plus saving

[mortal quail]

No

[cyan sage]

toxic

I'll accept it soon

@mortal quail accept

[mortal quail]

No he isn't

He gonna block you I think

He is kinda mean

[cyan sage]

I would never, thats extrememly toxic

[fleet lance]

Im doing it all bro

[cyan sage]

how you still losing then

[mortal quail]

Your not

Like you just aren't

[cyan sage]

Im playing like an ssl but im stuck in plat fr fr

[fleet lance]

Im playing as goal keeper and shooter at once, but I can't win 1 vs 2

[cyan sage]

why you playing goalie, just play as a shooter

[primal furnace]

CAN SOMEONE LOOK OVER MY GAME PLAY AND TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG AND CORRECT???? IM D3
DM ME IF POSSIBLE

[mortal quail]

Yes you can win, your meant to play that way.

[cyan sage]

dont need to rotate back to defend if you just score

[cyan sage]

are you pc

[mortal quail]

If you cant 2v1, you aren't doing anything in diamond anyway

[fleet lance]

How to send u replays?

[primal furnace]

No I'm PS4 but I have discord

[fleet lance]

I want to see what u will say

[cyan sage]

have to be pc, documents -> my games -> Rocket league -> TAGame -> Demos

[cyan sage]

nvm then

[primal furnace]

CAN SOMEONE LOOK OVER MY GAME PLAY AND TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG AND CORRECT???? IM D3
DM ME IF POSSIBLE

[cyan sage]

real

[fleet lance]

Ok i ll look

[cyan sage]

Caps just make people want to look at your review less, only chance you've got now is to ask @mortal quail for a replay review, he got me from plat to champ 2 in a month

[primal furnace]

Alright

[cyan sage]

k

[astral coral]

hey yall i got a question, how do you cancel your frontflip so much to the point it barely moves? i try just normal flip canceling but the best i can do is cancel the flip like halfway

[mortal quail]

This is crazy

[cyan sage]

pull down

[signal lintel]

I play like plat but I'm stuck in champ, any tips?

[cyan sage]

halfway is the best you're going to get

[astral coral]

i see pros and other people even in my rank be able to cancel it earlier

[primal furnace]

Ero(Chronic#1fan can you look over my game play pls

[astral coral]

im just curious as to how they do it

[cyan sage]

you'll need to use the ball to cancel the rest of the flip if you do it properly, or stall, wont give you speed but will cancel your downwards/upwards momentum

[cyan sage]

you failed your mention

[storm comet]

how do i find the best car for me

[primal furnace]

Wym

[cyan sage]

try asking @mortal quail for a replay review, he got me from plat to c2 in a month

[cyan sage]

you didnt @mortal quail, you just typed it

[cyan sage]

@astral coral

[signal lintel]

You can't, hitting the ball makes you stop rotating a bit tho so that might be what you mean (no-flip shots)

[cyan sage]

/looking-for-group

[primal furnace]

@mortal quail can you look over my gameplay

[cyan sage]

what you're seeing pros do might just be a speedflip, unless they're hitting the ball and canceling it, then it's prob just using the ball to cancel better, or you're looking at a stall thinking it's a flip

[mortal quail]

Can't today

[cyan sage]

cap

I personally cant flick with only my thoughts, nothing is impossible tho

[signal lintel]

Ur really still here trying to waste people's time pretending ur a noob?

[cyan sage]

Maybe with that new brain tech stuff coming out

[cyan sage]

Much less efficient at wasting peoples time than trolling

[signal lintel]

Yeah honestly

[cosmic anvil]

how do i post a lfg?

[cyan sage]

check pins in #looking-for-group and read

[cosmic anvil]

thx

[cyan sage]

teach your brother yourself then

It takes like .5 of a braincell to teach flicks

are you telling me you lack half a braincell?

unlucky

Expected, but unlucky

[green silo]

Why does the nose of the car keep pointing down when I speed flip?

[signal lintel]

Usually flipping forwards too much or cancelling late

Or delay between jump and flip

[green silo]

Cool thanks

[signal lintel]

👍

[cyan sage]

How do you use the looking for group thing

[toxic summit]

@empty geyser

[empty geyser]

yea+

[dusky fiber]

type in / then the lfg comes up and u just need to fill it out

[fleet lance]

Ok umm i did 5 goals and 0 saves as u said

And won 5:2

[cyan sage]

Thanks

[cyan sage]

see, it works

[mortal quail]

Unbelievable

[cyan sage]

real, now coach me

[fleet lance]

Like this was easy but my teammate was missing much and enemies couldn't just shoot normally

This is first time when im getting bad enemies

[cyan sage]

yeah, tm8 cant hit the ball, opponents cant either, if you can, you win

[fleet lance]

I had one time two guys

Winners of diamond tournaments

[cyan sage]

it's not that they're worse, it's that since you're there, they panic and just miss

[fleet lance]

And i saved 2 double taps

And 1 ceiling shot

[cyan sage]

dont focus on titles, Ik a gold 2 who got carried to a gc tourny winner

[fleet lance]

From the backboard

[fleet lance]

They was doing double taos

But i saved and somehow won them

[cyan sage]

well they didnt score, so couldnt have been that good of one

[fleet lance]

They said one of them are smurf and they just went for freestyling and clips but in the game they hit 0 clips and only 2 goals

When i scored 4 and won them lol

[frank loom]

Does anyone have any tips to get to champ? I’m hardstuck diamond 3 and I don’t feel like I should be.

[cyan sage]

hit the ball with power and accuracy, and try not to bump tm8

[frank loom]

Got that covered mostly

[cyan sage]

then just keep queueing, you should be champ soon

[frank loom]

Hopefully😞

[cyan sage]

if i can name myself tow mater and hit champ playing backwards, you can hit champ normally

[frank loom]

U hit champ playing backwards???😭😭😭😭

Jesus😂

[cyan sage]

I was quite bored that day

[frank loom]

What’s your main rank?

[upper lily]

doing a free coaching session because Im bored and need practice coaching if anyones interested dm me

[cyan sage]

idk tbh

[frank loom]

Check your DM’s with incredible speeds!

[tepid spruce]

can someone teach me to do speedflip?

[upper lily]

i wouldnt worry about learning how to speedflip theres an infinite amount of things that are more useful

if you really want to learn it theres a lot of youtube videos though

[fleet lance]

Also forgot to mention

Im keyboard mouse player

[cyan sage]

that just means it's far easier for you to learn mechanics than others

[sly juniper]

tips on how to beat dia 1's players in 1v1's (they're usually ranked champ 1-2 in 2's)

[cyan sage]

literally just ballchase

thats what I do

[sly juniper]

I usually play very passive, so I should just play faster then ig

[cyan sage]

if you're consistent and confident in your shooting, you can just ballchase

[sly juniper]

you got good custom trainings for shooting?

[cyan sage]

d1's in 1s take too long to set up proper dribbles, have poor ball control, worse shooting, terrible defense, ect

[cyan sage]

I havent used a custom training pack since @orchid condor gave me one in 2020 or smth, was some bullshit fast aerial pack

[sly juniper]

In diamond how many times do you think a person needs a pogo

[proven sinew]

Hold am playin

Thanks for the tip

[unkempt sparrow]

[steep jetty]

Yes

[unkempt sparrow]

lol

[steep jetty]

Def

You want to help me ?

Learn stuff

[unkempt sparrow]

those yt vids explain it way better than i could

[steep jetty]

I wanna see how good you are lmao

[safe igloo]

whats your rank?

[unkempt sparrow]

i can air dribble but i wont be able to magically give you the power to do it instantly

[steep jetty]

Plat

[safe igloo]

plat what

[steep jetty]

I used to be diamond

Plat 2

[safe igloo]

learn air dribbles at d2

not plat2

[steep jetty]

I was diamond 2

[spice granite]

i learned aurdribbles at silver 3

[steep jetty]

Before I stopped playing for a year

[spice granite]

now im got at them

[steep jetty]

And my teammates threw my game

[spice granite]

teamates..

[safe igloo]

everybody says that

[steep jetty]

They did

[unkempt sparrow]

every single one until you got to plat?

[steep jetty]

They always bumped me, couldn't hit the ball, etc

Even left the game

[steep jetty]

No

[unkempt sparrow]

its diamond bro stuff like that is gonna happen, just be aware of where your teammate is

[spice granite]

nezin that pfp explains everything

[spice granite]

all you gotta do is jump

[unkempt sparrow]

imagine you wanna dribble the ball and have to jump because your teammate about to bump you

[steep jetty]

LOL

LETS GO I HIT MT SHOTTY

WWWWWWWWW

What mechanics should I be learning rn

[spice granite]

ground controk

[unkempt sparrow]

just the basics fr

[spice granite]

control*

[unkempt sparrow]

do some power shot training packs and such

[steep jetty]

I know those though

[spice granite]

i agreee

[steep jetty]

K

[spice granite]

then after progress up

[unkempt sparrow]

everybody does but are you as good at them as a diamond is?

[steep jetty]

"the ultimate warm-up"

[steep jetty]

Somewhat

[unkempt sparrow]

never hurts to get better at that stuff

[spice granite]

yeah, there is always room for progression even if you think you mastered it

[unkempt sparrow]

especially at plat

[desert shadow]

read the pinned post in #looking-for-group

[vagrant lichen]

Anyone have tips to get out of plat 1

[desert shadow]

button mash

[spice granite]

this isnt mortal kombat😭

[unkempt sparrow]

no idea

[spice granite]

you tap the junp button once..

Then again

[unkempt sparrow]

you forgot step 2

[spice granite]

……

[desert shadow]

tap jump twice

[unkempt sparrow]

dont hold a direction

[desert shadow]

still, it can work

[spice granite]

If you want to do random things

[unkempt sparrow]

bit of a jump buddy

[spice granite]

[desert shadow]

go whoosh and flip

[spice granite]

🦘

[thin verge]

Any good kbm player here? Wondering whether it matters for diagonal flips/wave side dashes whether I do those with W + (directional air roll for the side dashes) Jump and A/D OR directional air roll Q/E

[spice granite]

[spice granite]

it doesnt matter

[desert shadow]

XD

[spice granite]

[thin verge]

Thanks!

[spice granite]

[thin verge]

For me it's more intuitive to do it with A/D

[spice granite]

yeahhhh

[thin verge]

Does this mean it matters?

Or did you mean it doesn't?

[spice granite]

whatever is comfortable for you

[unkempt sparrow]

if you do a and d then ur car goes slightly more to the right

[thin verge]

Alright, thanks!

[thin verge]

So it's better in theory?

[unkempt sparrow]

directional air roll and w makes you go more straight

[thin verge]

Ah

[thin verge]

So I need to learn both? And do you mean for diagonal flips or the side dashes?

[unkempt sparrow]

i meant diagonal flip

[torn laurel]

When I am hitting a ball from the air, how do I get more momentum behind the hit?

[unkempt sparrow]

kinda depends on the purpose but i think directional and w is better if you gotta go in a straight line back to net or something

if you do a and d then you have to move to the left a bit before you flip to keep the straight line

[desert shadow]

😘

[torn laurel]

??

[unkempt sparrow]

hit it with one of the front corners of your car

that goes for all shots though

[thin verge]

So you just do both depending on the situation? Or do you prefer directional?

[unkempt sparrow]

i use w and directional

[thin verge]

Okay thanks

[unkempt sparrow]

but i speedflip mostly around the field

[drifting thorn]

how do i dm someone in looking-for-group?

[thin verge]

I'm a bit overwhelmed with the possibilities haha, think I'll stay with A/D for now and not overthink it - thanks though!

[unkempt sparrow]

yeah do that, there is no difference in speed anyway

[steep jetty]

Guys

I redirected 5 goals

And I got 100% in a 50 goal training pack with air dribbles, power shots, redirects, aerials, and wall shots.

I feel accomplished

[unkempt sparrow]

keep going man

[frigid panther]

Can Someone help me with my air dribbles

I can get the ball up and hit it twice, but it falls before the goal

[carmine gyro]

Does anyone know how can i do speedflip using keyboard and mouse?

[thin verge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqFYjxpNONw Cannot do it myself but here is a tutorial

[carmine gyro]

I saw this but couldn't understand it

[thin verge]

Same lol

I tried it and saw no difference with the countersteering (pressing S after flipping)

Probably because I did something wrong

But yeah still working on perfecting diagonal flip kick offs first

[soft iris]

yo anyone ranked gc in tournaments?

[burnt oyster]

Can anybody coach for free?

[quasi root]

alr some1 has really got to help me

i tried using rocket league activate to get my items that i had on xbox to my pc and i just played a 3s and lost 700 mmr

and im level 1

[hidden geyser]

Is it just me, or does it feel like a lot of people are ranked far past what their actual ability can keep up with?

[carmine gyro]

Probably yes

[hidden geyser]

I rank around plat3 diamond 1 (it fluctuates back and forth), and in a lot of games of 2s it seems like the guys that I play with play the exact same as people that ive seen play in mid gold. It baffles me how people can make it up to even plat without having the skill required to even just read the field and know rotations.

[torn laurel]

Eggs.

i need help airdribbling if anyone can help it would be nice

[minor dock]

i think its impossible to rank up unless you play consistently, i play on and off and i havent moved in like a year

[mystic anvil]

Rank?

[minor dock]

champ

in every playlist

no yo mama

[mystic anvil]

Ah ok it’s very difficult to break the ice for that rank it’s a massive gap to gc

[minor dock]

yo mama

[normal crane]

Can anyone help me get the best of the bunch achievement? It's the last one i need to complete this game?

[mystic anvil]

Facts and over time it will just get harder

[minor dock]

it wouldnt be as hard if every rank got their own season titles

[normal crane]

It's not that its hard. I just have no one to paly with and you can only get it partnered up. cant do it in a 1v1

work on back post rotation, adapting to tm8s, looking for demos on rotations back, 50/50's, applying pressure without taking yourself out of the play, basic off the wall aerials, ect

[cobalt crane]

W tips

[cyan sage]

sometimes I have to stop the trolling for a few minutes to make sure I dont get banned

literally hitting the ball

dont bump your tm8s

the absolute basics @cyan sage, they'll take you far, maybe basic boost management

[cyan sage]

then you should be winning

If i can hit champ, 7 whole ranks above you, at least, playing backwards and naming myself tow mater, you can hit plat playing forwards by hitting the ball

[uncut drum]

Don’t blame on tm8

Hello gentlemen i got a link for my game i want some coaching

Im d3 div 4

[cyan locust]

play 1s, learn ground play and basic Ariels

[loud jay]

No i got a video im sure i can be c1

But its just i wanna see my mistakes

[cyan locust]

download your games, analyze them

[loud jay]

Thats why im asking for a coach to coach this game im on ps5

[cyan locust]

cant see your mistakes if you're in custom games and your coach is high rank

you need to self analyze, it'll help more than a coach

[loud jay]

...

Already self analyazed but maybe the problem is me

Thats why i need another prespective

[stray lotus]

How to use airrol, (I have more questions just dm me)

[tardy ore]

Work on shadow defense and hard clears. Try to play off of your teammate and don’t commit for anything risky. If you think it’s an easy shot, go for it. Also, don’t rely on your teammate to hit every ball. They will miss a-lot just like everyone else so you just have to think defensive when the ball is getting close to your net. 1v1s help a-lot with defense as-well. If your teammate throws away the ball, minimize space between you and the opponent with the ball and then either challenge if you have a teammate back or automatically go to shadow defense if you are last back.
Get comfortable with catching the ball on the wall. Can help you control the ball more when someone hits the ball close to your net. And last, maximize your opportunity on offense so your teammates aren’t playing defense the whole game because the team putting more pressure usually will win.

[cyan sage]

[bold wagon]

[boreal briar]

can be anything, i use X for left and B for right

[bold wagon]

I hate the new lfg

Channel

[boreal briar]

how do i respond to one with interest

so confusin

[cyan locust]

get paddles

my advice is don't, just learn ground play

Ariels in plat lead you to being scored on

can you perfectly dribble, flick, and 50?

good 50s leave you with possession not sending it flying towards their net btw

and dribbling on top of your car with good flicks will send you into diamond easily

just watch for them to push you, in plat you can just drop the ball in front of your car and either win a 50 or make them go flying over you

cant, idk how to coach people below champ

depends what you've learned

Perfect ground play, rotations, and basic ariels

play 1s to learn defense, and don't play for rank play for improvement

if you lose it's yours and your teammates fault, not one or the other

for 1s just know when and when not to go for the ball, that alone will get you to gc

play off of your teammate because most likely they dont play as a team

play more passively than aggressively, but at the same time don't get too far away from them

[onyx jackal]

Does anyone have a good YouTube video about positioning

[cyan sage]

Standard im D3 div 3
2s im c3 div 1
1s im d1 div 2

[cyan sage]

lethamyr has a great road to ssl series

all you gotta do is “lethamyr rtssl” and whatever rank you are

he explains positioning very well

[onyx jackal]

Thank you very much

[cyan sage]

almost all he ever talks abt too, thats how i got to c3

[cyan sage]

yep np, also keep in mind to take it with a grain of salt because even though he keeps in mind hes in lower ranks he is a retired pro so you might not be able to do everything he does

[onyx jackal]

I will thank you keep that in mind thank you

Also do I watch the latest one

[flint plaza]

I don't think that is what you are talking about but am sure it will help you...

I was watching a couple of vids for wayton where he gives some situations, pauses the game, and give you a few options for where you should go in this situation (go for the ball, rotate backpost, jump off the wall, etc)

I think its title is decision making in rocket league

how to rank out of d1 🤨

[thin lantern]

how do you control your car while air rolling

[trim arch]

Air roll doesn't really do anything

From what I heard

[stable elbow]

it sort of does it give you more control

imo

[trim arch]

I mean ye

[cyan sage]

@vibe...

[flint plaza]

get a tm8 guys
it can be as simple as that

[honest atlas]

fr

[flint plaza]

if it bounces off your car
so you are probably hitting it too much near the center of mass

[tepid trail]

I mean you can also just get better at the game too

[flint plaza]

can you do double taps consistently without directional air roll?

[trim arch]

Yes

[flint plaza]

it won't help you rank up "fast"

[flint plaza]

send me some clips
I wanna see if you don't mind

[winter tiger]

Any tips on how to get better teammates 🤣🤣🤣

[trim arch]

I don't have any right now

[trim arch]

Rank up 😂

[tepid trail]

I mean the only ways to "rank up fast" are getting boosted and popping off short-term. Ranked is a long-term progression

[trim arch]

I got the same issue with me, teammates 😢

[winter tiger]

I can't always carry 3v1 lool

[trim arch]

I know

@merry harbor

[tepid trail]

Teammates sometimes do cause you to lose games, but if teammates were the only cause of you losing games no one could rank up at all

[trim arch]

Well you just got to be better, so you can carry

[tepid trail]

Yeah if you don't play better than the lobby you won't win

[trim arch]

Yessir

My tip to win games with trash teammates is play fast and pressure alot

[winter tiger]

Afk people annoy me more than bad teammates, don't queue for a game if you're not ready

[trim arch]

They're hurting there own rank too bruh

[tepid trail]

That can be a really valid way to carry. A less-known one that works a lot more just because other people like to be aggressive is to carry by being a patient 3rd or 2nd man as well

[trim arch]

I don't do 3v3

Only 2s and 1s

[tepid trail]

It still works if youre 2nd in 2's, you just need to not overdo the patience when an opportunity to score appears

[trim arch]

I do both

It depends how bad they are

[unkempt quarry]

wsg

[trim arch]

Wsg

[tepid trail]

I would say it more depends on how your teammate likes to play. They can be super aggressive and fast but also really bad

[solid nova]

@errant timber

[trim arch]

Lol I'm joking

To Bop!

What's your rank

[flint plaza]

from what u said
I think you mean...

to get better tm8s you should rank up
and to rank up you should get better tm8s
😄

[tepid trail]

GC1 rn

[trim arch]

Yes

Danggggggg, help me man

I'm c1

You could help me rank up

[tepid trail]

Do you have any specific problems you tend to have? My general tips for people in c1 is to look for open space/pass to your teammates, practice basic mechanics, and learn to adapt your play style to your teammates (what we were talking about)

[trim arch]

Um

Wiffing the ball, and so rotation probably

Problems 101

[tepid trail]

That can be one of two problems:

1. Game sense problem. You're going for balls that are unnecessary and difficult to get to. A lot more of the time than you think, you can think about your touches instead of just going right away.
2. Mechanical problem. Spend more time in Freeplay hitting the ball at high speed

[trim arch]

Why should I hit the ball at high speed

I already hit the ball hard

[tepid trail]

I meant game speed-wise, sry. Hit the ball as frequently as you can and try and always try and beat theoretical defenders in your Freeplay if that makes sense. This helps you improve your general skills with hitting the ball

[candid dragon]

Shoot, im just trying to get out of Plat 1 division 3. In duos

[trim arch]

Should I play 1v1s for that?

I'm plat 3 in 1s, quick tip to get to diamond

[tepid trail]

Yeah 1s help a ton with that. Freeplay is essential too so don't neglect it

[trim arch]

Ok bet

Maybe we could go in a private match and you could show me some stuff?

Or no 😔?

[tepid trail]

Don't overcommit on your plays. There are certain plays you can do that allow you to recover before you get punished if the opponent saves the ball

[tepid trail]

Not at my PC rn

[trim arch]

Okay

Lemme know when, are you NAE?

I can play at 11 A.M NAE time

[tepid trail]

It's gonna be a while. Actually at work on a quick break so I won't be back for much later

[trim arch]

Alright

[copper cave]

a speed flip when done right should put you straight from where you started it right? so lets say if I am flipping to the right I shouldn't need to start by pointing left of the ball or do I?

[zealous dust]

Anyone got some tips to get out of Diamond?

[flint plaza]

champ in 2s and plat in 1s...
you are literally the reason why I can't get out of plat lol

[latent nacelle]

any tips for 1500?

[flint plaza]

if you are diagonal flipping to the right you do a slight turn to the left before jumping

watch how ppl do it on yt
especially the straight kickoff (you can find that in 1v1 matches)

Diamond: Stop tilt queueing, give your teammate space, get better at punishing your opponents. This can be done with good shooting and reads. Starting defending off backboard and get better at doing it. See the enemy up high, go backboard. Get better at basic aerials and wall touches as these can be vital. Get better at offense without sacrificing defense

theres every difficulty except unfair

[indigo wigeon]

put team size on 2v2

[shadow smelt]

it is

[indigo wigeon]

odd what platform do you play on?

[shadow smelt]

steam

[mortal quail]

Plat: get better at defending and mastering stuff you learned in gold. Honestly stop trying to aerial for every ball, use your judgement to decide if you should aerial or not. Learn backpost rotations and hitting the ball off backboard. Should be said that dont go for air dribbles or ceiling shots idc if you are consistent with them. Playing smart and reading the play will allow you to rank up

Looking for someone to coach me for free if someone wants to.
Im kbm player i play for 2 months and im hardstuck diamond 2 player in 2s and plat 3 div4 in 1s plat1 in 3s.
Idk what to focus on and should i use directional air roll on normal one, should i switch to controller bcs i dont see any kbm rlcs players...Idk what to do
I would appreciate if someone could help me out

[flint plaza]

why do you mention kbm
do you have some problems with control?

for the directional air roll
it's better to use both left and right rather than the normal air roll

[proper flume]

Yea someone said its bassicly uselles to try to improve on kbm because you have to press like 6 buttons instead of 2

[flint plaza]

watch yukeo

[proper flume]

Whats the diffrence

Should i master 1 air rol or focus on both?seems kinda hard

[flint plaza]

the normal air roll won't allow u to tornado spin
if you switch to controller tho...
it's better to use normal air roll + at least 1 directional air roll
because normal air roll gives you more than 8 directions (kbm has 8 directions)
on the other hand if u don't switch and stay on kbm (not a bad option) you won't get anything from having normal air roll because it will be the same as directional air roll

[proper flume]

Whats the tornado spin used for

[flint plaza]

you can use it to align yourself, correct or make slight turns
you don't have to be constant air rolling 24/7 if that is hard for u

[proper flume]

Why do people pref airol left tho

[flint plaza]

is it doable tho to constant air roll on kbm?
definitely it is

[proper flume]

Anyway i saw someone just move their joystick when moving in the air for like air rol left

They dont press a button to activate air rol left

So anyway what should i focus on if im diamond 2

[cyan sage]

Is ther maybe a gc xbox player here who can get me to diamond or show me how I can improve

[molten fulcrum]

anyone able to help me improve at rl

[cyan sage]

@molten fulcrum whats ur rank

[molten fulcrum]

bronze

[storm onyx]

Someone teach me reset in vc pls

[dapper cradle]

someone coach me on how to air dribble properly

im D3 champ 1 last season'

[flint plaza]

it's more comfortable for some ppl
but there is a lot of air roll right users like wayton and virge

There are freestylers like (specific) impulse, faith, gappled, temple, henko, evample, sudo, nevee, etc on kbm and a number of pros/semi-pros as well like yukeo, torsos, 2Fast,Volterohh, drufinho, etc

[proper flume]

Ok ty

But i think its easier on controller

[flint plaza]

ye, some ppl are comfortable with the l3 (pressing the joystick down)

[flint plaza]

if you are more comfortable with controller then go ahead and switch if that makes you feel better
but if you want to try input acceleration time for kbm
then experiment with that until u have better control without slowing yourself too much
also removing the bindings from the mouse and binding them to keyboard (keyboard only)

maybe these will make you more comfortable with kbm just in case

[flint plaza]

if you want to rank up try to find a tm8 that synergizes with your playstyle
or watch your replays to see what you can improve

[pale latch]

thats not necessary, i found that boosting on left click and ballcam on right click works best for me, thats just me though

[flint plaza]

under diamond
you win by hitting the ball correctly
if you wiff the ball work on whatever situation u struggle with (reading bounces, aerials, etc)
if you can't save some shots then practice positioning for defense and defense training packs

[flint plaza]

I found that using the mouse (moving the mouse) for aerial car control (air steer and air pitch) works best for me
but I still don't use it because it makes me unable to do continuous movement (more than 360 turns) or flip accurately

it's all about personal preference and yes nothing here is necessary

the necessary thing imo
is for psyonix to add an option to bind the MOUSE AIR STEER RIGHT/LEFT and MOUSE AIR PITCH UP/DOWN beside the other mouse binds

[waxen hedge]

are steam servers laggy??? im getting 120 ping out of nowhere spiking every 2 seconds before i was at 30

[flint plaza]

probably epic servers are more laggy

[waxen hedge]

how do i check

i feel like its just me

[flint plaza]

if it's just you
there is some troubleshooting guide on the official website
there is a lot of options there that may help you

[ripe spear]

hello, im not sure if anyone knows how to do this, but im trying to connect my joy cons to my pc, they are binded, but they dont respond on rocket league, i dont want to use mouse and keyboard

[pliant meadow]

Kinda new to RL looking for "coaching/help" dm me

[wild eagle]

Yo im C3 j tryna get gc so if u a coach hmu or if u in c3 hmu

[cyan sage]

When i replay an match to analizate it need to be a lose match or doesnt matter

[wild eagle]

How do i do the looking for group thing

[pale latch]

what...
moving the mouse?

i tried using mouse movement for camera control, but that just caused even more pain than not being able to use it

[worldly basin]

how do i msg the people in #looking-for-group

[left maple]

Use / to bring up the commands

[unkempt sparrow]

copy their name and add them

[signal lintel]

Doesn't really matter. I usually tell people to pick close game where everyone is around the same skill level and you aren't the best player on the field

[unkempt sparrow]

i usually only save the lost games, that way i can see why exactly i was losing that game

[cyan sage]

thank you

[cyan sage]

thank you

[harsh bloom]

@zinc mirage

[cyan sage]

I go on ballchasing and find someone elses replay personally

[unkempt sparrow]

you analyze other peoples game?

thats psychotic

[cyan sage]

I'd rather ballchase and give my tm8 less space, and I dont need to punish opponents if they never get the ball

[cyan sage]

no, I just install the replays

[unkempt sparrow]

wdym

[near gale]

I stopped playing for a while can do some basic stuff just trying to improve to about plat 2 or 3 in ones if anyone has any tips that would be gr8

[worldly star]

My tip is when the ball gets close to the opponents net instead of going for the ball demo the other guy and try to score

[daring forum]

Yo on my own I was playing d1 going up and down but me and a homie started playing (he was d3 div4 when we started this) now we both went down a rank or 2 and keep getting stomped

Any reason why? Are we just bad?

[mortal quail]

In short terms yes,
In longer but also short terms, you aren't able to compete with higher diamonds just yet, leaving your teammate to 2v1 a majority of the time which seems he cannot do either

[daring forum]

It just seems odd because you’re right I couldn’t at first but since playing with him he’s gotten me to be so much better off the wall and with air dribbles but we still can’t get out of the slump

And then sometimes we pub stomp and others we get stomped for multiple games

[signal lintel]

You're not used to the opponents either. The rank difference is a problem unless your friend is down to d1

[near gale]

Thank you

[signal lintel]

Yeah that's normal rocket league tho. Maybe you guys aren't good at adapting to different types of opponents

[daring forum]

Try to improve your 50s and ball control if you don’t have those down already

[daring forum]

He is I think it’s me tbh

[stone oxide]

How do i improve game speed

[near gale]

That's what I'm practicing it's just keeping the ball on top of the car to flick it or move it is seemingly a challenge rn

[stone oxide]

Move ate thw balls speex

Speed

[daring forum]

I still struggle with it, I’m better with air dribbles than ground, it’s just coming more naturally

[stone oxide]

How do i get better in the air

[near gale]

I'm getting there just need more time imo

[cyan sage]

Plat 1 looking for help getting better DM

[daring forum]

Facts, just practice it, and don’t be afraid to go for stuff in pubs, it’s pubs who cares if you win or lose

[daring forum]

Just practice it, make opportunities to go up with the ball and go for it, that’s the best way

[mortal quail]

Air dribbles and off the wall stuff isn't what is needed to compete with d3s as a d1

The general speed of play is probably too fast as well as inconsistent

[stone oxide]

Im d3 and i can air dribble a bit

[dry cypress]

@worldly basin

[near gale]

I get that, so don't be scared to loose basically

[worldly basin]

?

[daring forum]

Yeah I tend to hesitate and rotate really far back cause I’m used to randos missing and I’m trying to cover for the@

For them*^
I’ve had to break that habit and learn to go when I can and don’t when I can’t as fast as possible

[mortal quail]

Its usually fine if you can defend, but as it turns out it probably isn't.

But my advice for low diamond is to focus on hitting the ball hard and playing counter attacks. Try to take control of the ball instead of booming

[solemn storm]

im new but i think its /looking-for-group

is it cause slow mode

hmm

whyd the msgs get deleted

lmao

[somber pier]

I can ceiling flip reset and hit the ball into the goal as plat is that good?

[vale onyx]

how do i get not crap teammates

[dense sleet]

Agreed bro 🤣

[dense sleet]

Cap

[vale onyx]

its actually do bad in c4

c3*

[dense sleet]

Even worse in gold Bru I'd prob be plat with good teamates

You go down by two goals in gold and your teamate leaves bru

[hard cape]

This is rocket league!

[somber pier]

Bro

I will prove it to yall right here rn

[dense sleet]

Send a clip of you doin it

[flint plaza]

I tried that too and it didn't help even after missing with the sliders

mouse movement is only good for aerial car control imo

it makes me feel like am flying like a bird...
controlling my car like am holding it in my hand...
or even like aiming in an fps game

it's a shame that the game still allows mouse binds for ground control only
so you can use both keyboard and mouse if you want

but for aerial car control you only choose one or the other

[jade totem]

can anyone look over my replay i've been stuck in champ 1 for a while now

[unkempt sparrow]
