i love fennec but im a dominus main

proto are you a pc player?

[stoic flicker]

i dont like dominus much either tbh it reminds me of freestylers who do non stop helis and stalls LMAO

[silver egret]

ill trade you my fennec for a little if u awant

octane is better for flip resets and power shots but fennec makes you precise af

NOOOO

[stoic flicker]

yeah idk i just hate fennec i feel my mechs r so bad with it and it feels heavy to use in the air

[silver egret]

i feel like zen in it 💀

[stoic flicker]

hhahahah

[silver egret]

freAKING prodigy mode

i love flat cars

always have for some reason

[stoic flicker]

all i gotta learn is maktuf i do cancel mustys off wall etc into reset but i wanna get to add maktufs

[silver egret]

better flicks i guess

[silver egret]

they're really

tough

ive only done it once in freeplay

[stoic flicker]

maktufs or musty cancel

[silver egret]

[fallen quail]

can some1 live coach me while i play placement games in 1s?
im a plat btw

[indigo quartz]

How was that not a tip?

I was asking about an in game feature lmfao

[umbral crag]

they aren't hard tbh. good way to practice the cancels is going for maktuf cabbages (off ground)

[stoic flicker]

yeah im getting there now hit a few my only problem is sometimes it turns into a musty hahahaha

[umbral crag]

either canceling too late or you are holding dar for too long

[stoic flicker]

probs too long i had that issue learning cancel mustys

i can actually do them now tho

[barren spire]

any good ones players around im gc2 in 2s and threes and im c1-c2 in 1ns could use some tips

[stoic flicker]

can i add u to priv text

[umbral crag]

sure

[stoic flicker]

done

[cyan sage]

looking for someone to watch me play a few games and tell me what i do wrong in them

[gray yew]

Lisence agreements.. My kid frustrated because can't join parties.
This been going on for weeks now and we agreed those terms so many times already 🤷‍♂️
Help? 🙏

[indigo quartz]

People who don’t ff are annoying. If we’re up/down by 5+ just quit😂

[analog vapor]

Anyone here wanna do some training and give tips on air dribbles?

[dusky fiber]

here a guide if u start getting into air dribbles: most important thing with air dribbles is the set up, if u can do that right u can get good tries, in general take your time with the set up at first. 1. try to get already on the ground in a good line so u dont go crazy left right before touching the ball. 2. try to get the ball as high as possible without it touching the ceiling. 3. u want to toch the ball when it has that up-movement and above the corner, otherwise the ball either goes to straight up the wall or too far away. 4. try to get in a similar speed as the ball. 5. At first, AS SOON as u touch the ball jump, rlly as soon as u touch it. When u focus on all these steps u should be already be very close to the ball after the set up. Then u just need to air roll in a straight position and try out the dribbles. Also try doing it in freeplay. Training packs can be good but there the set up is done for u and u might be able to actually dribble then but cant use it in game as u dont know how to set up, u can also send me vid of yours and i will try and give more individual tipps

[analog vapor]

My problen is more with air roll , and following up. I can hit it a few times but not the way id like to

[barren spire]

u on pc

[analog vapor]

Yeah

Controller tho

Ooooh nvm sorry lol

[barren spire]

run workshops maps like rings and hold air roll the whole time to get better

[analog vapor]

I tried to find the maps but dunno what theyre names are

[barren spire]

speed rings 3 by dmc is good

[dusky fiber]

yh

[analog vapor]

Sweet , and do you guys use mostly directional air roll or "free air roll" i guess i could say

[mortal quail]

I use mainly free air roll but getting used to directional atm

[analog vapor]

Yeah me too

[vestal night]

directional w

[analog vapor]

Do you roll continously or stop and adjust and stop amd adjust? Or do you do it all while continually rolling?

[mortal quail]

Never hold air roll

[analog vapor]

So just a bit at a time as needed

[vestal night]

i sometimes continuosly hold it

but mainly the way to control it is with left stick

[analog vapor]

I do mostly lol

[vestal night]

theres no way to explain that though its all just feel

[analog vapor]

Yeah i know , it honeslty males me think really really hard lol

Makes

Thanks for the tips guys

[vestal night]

i think to learn to control it i would go inf reeplay and just see what moving ur stick while holding air roll does

[mortal quail]

I just use it as I think to use it
Usually I'll fly without air roll then as I'm approaching the ball I air roll to adjust

[vestal night]

like each direction

[vestal night]

yea if ur airialing its usually faster to just aim at it dont spion like crazy

but like air dribbling is diff

[analog vapor]

I am but it just seems to not work for me that way , dunno why

[vestal night]

its all just positioning your car where its supposed to be

[vestal night]

wdym

[mortal quail]

I use minimal air roll when air dribbling, only when I wanna carry it, but usually that results in a fast challenge

[analog vapor]

Like , ive practiced it that way for for a long time and i just dont get it , like the re adjusting i guess is my problem , the first adjustment is fine with lets say jumping off the wall etc , but after i hit the ball i just cant get back to it

Ayo your bindings are sweet

Lol , they work so

Bruh some guy wooped my ass last night with tactical rumble , i never knew there is a tactical rumble loo

[vestal night]

Unfortunately theres no real solution for it the only way is just practicing it over and over

Eventually you get the feel for it

[steep thistle]

im looking to improve at 1s 9/10 goals scored against me are either kickoff goals or I make a mechanical mistake I feel like i have the mindset of a high lvl player I just cant execute the mechs that im trying to accurately and consistently enough any tips for getting past this barrier

[lilac whale]

You're a Rocket League player. I, too, know what you need. Don't try to pretend like I'm purposefully wasting your time. I'm not.

[mortal quail]

The main thing is to improve on kickoffs and mechanics. Kickoffs is mainly predicting what they are gonna do
Mechanics is just hours of freeplay

[steep thistle]

I think I score more on kickoffs than get scored on but ill keep working on those. also when I drive down off a wall I cant insta jump proporly for a second is there a way to mitigate that/ cancel it

[mortal quail]

Due to the slope of the wall, you can't jump because it's just gonna slam you down. You have to time it to where you aren't on a slope anymore, it has to be flat

[steep thistle]

even when Im on the flat ground I cant jump thats what im saying do I have to like hold jump and go back or something or like zap dash off the wall Ive seen ppl do it I just dont know what im trying to do

[fading wadi]

Do you flip and then flip again into the ball on kickoff

[steep thistle]

yeah...

[fading wadi]

Ok, speed flip?

[steep thistle]

yeah

[fading wadi]

Ok maybe go watch some pro 1v1 on Johnny bois channel and watch what they do right after the kickoff

There is a ton of strategy in those few seconds that is important

[mortal quail]

Do you have a clip, because you should be able to jump as long as it's not a slope. Weather its on the wall or floor. Usually players jump off the wall and wavedash down over going on the slope
But if you mean

[steep thistle]

ill get one rn

[steep thistle]

kickoffs don't tend to be what loses me my games its mostly Ill go for a mech say reverse 45 right and hit it right over the bar and get scored on

[fading wadi]

Check out flakes, he is a pro advocate for not needing mechanics to beat 95% of players

He shows how to think to win without mechs

[steep thistle]

ok ill watch that

[steep thistle]

im already above that top 5% mark

[fading wadi]

Still worth it

[cyan sage]

dont mix up no mechanics for having 0 mechanics

he doesn't use fancy mechs. thats what they are talking about when they say mechanics just incase u get confused

[steep thistle]

yeah thats what I was talking about more my basic mechas are what seems to screw me over in game, ill go for a ball I think I can bang and just get a bad hit or whatever

[zenith delta]

Don’t recommend flakes playstyle for most people

[fading wadi]

Why

[zenith delta]

Cuz most people not gonna be able to get that type of game sense quickly

[fading wadi]

It’s not like you should be exactly like flakes, but he teaches so many good lessons about patience and faking and boost management

[heavy ridge]

rank?

[cyan sage]

thats becasue hes not telling them to play like flakes..

hes telling him to watch how he plays.. not to play like him

recommending anyones playstyle is awful

@cyan sage

[steep thistle]

in 1s currently d3 but a c2 peak

[heavy ridge]

thats not top 5%

[steep thistle]

it is in 1s not in 2s or 3s

[heavy ridge]

its not top 5% in 1s either

Rocket league tracker may say it is, but it says out of all existing accounts, doesnt take into account alt accounts, and inactive accounts

d3 is a bit above average, but its really not top 5%

maybe top 10%

[steep thistle]

where r u getting ur numbers then if not rl tracker

[chilly plover]

can someone coach me in 2s im plat 3

[steep thistle]

d3 season start im currently climbing

[heavy ridge]

by simply using my own brain and understanding that every single c2-gc2 in 2s is d3 in 1s

[heavy ridge]

well then you are not top 5% yet

[steep thistle]

for now imma trust the numbers but apprciate ur input

[heavy ridge]

good luck with the grind

[steep thistle]

ty ty

[mortal quail]

So
Source:trust me bro

[loud kindle]

Yo

[mortal quail]

Hes like top 1%

[heavy ridge]

ill make a survey sometime

and find out

but for you ill do the calculations right here, if you want to

[cyan sage]

lf someone to watch me play a few games and tell me what i do wrong in the game

[versed terrace]

it would be better if u find out urself what ur doing wrong

[heavy ridge]

another persons pov can be very helpfull

you might just have bad habits that you cannot see on your own

[cyan sage]

thats the thing idk what i do wrong im d1 div 3

[versed terrace]

he may not understand what we see tho

[mortal quail]

https://reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/s/GjyLdvlSOb

Don't bother

Psyonix does it for you

[versed terrace]

i mean u can send me the clips if uw ant and ill try to help ofc

[heavy ridge]

it can still be extremely helpfull, and anyone can make a d1 understand

[heavy ridge]

welp I guess I was wrong

d3 is top 1% damn breh

[mortal quail]

Ya no one plays 1s

So players that do end up being higher ranked

[versed terrace]

i do :/

[heavy ridge]

people should tbh

best gamemode icl

[cyan sage]

ur weird

[heavy ridge]

I know

[cyan sage]

1s is best

[sharp crest]

what are the odds for pulling a black market tournament item from the first trophy?

[cyan sage]

1% i believe

[sharp crest]

ok then im lucky cause i got one first try :>

[cyan sage]

they might've changed it, unsure, dont really matter tho the tourny bm decals are always trash

[cyan sage]

we have pressing issues a foot look in the general

[junior trellis]

Any tips for me i am plat 3

[sharp crest]

yeah but i got the goal explosion >:D

[random maple]

you dont because you have not seen me play to be able to see what i do and know where im lacking most in my gameplay and that is just fact

[lilac whale]

disagree all you want

[mortal hill]

not sure this is the right place to ask this but I need help, I use an elite controller with the 2 back buttons as LB and RB for air roll, is there any advice or a video you can suggest that'd help me with my key bindings to help me with my more intricate gameplay for advancing ranks?

[wild imp]

can somebody help he with air dribbling in a custom

[strange charm]

Can anyone help me with airdribble with air roll I play on kbm

[umbral crag]

that's x% of ppl in the rank not top x%. d3 1s was top 1.81% in s10

[tough cedar]

Can someone help me with like air dribble and stuff like that

Dm me if so

[echo veldt]

how to win if i always play 1v3, carrying game, but cant carry to the win 💀

[vestal night]

fix ur mindset

or find teammates

[echo veldt]

wdym mindset?

i play, trynna my best

but usually getting bumped or ball getting stolen by mate

[vestal night]

acting like teammates are the issue is a bad mindset to have

[echo veldt]

i would say nothing if i would see em dont steal my ball or bump me

💀

[drowsy folio]

[drowsy folio]

just hit the ball consistently u will get champ

[vestal night]

learn the basics

[drowsy folio]

thats all it is its not hard

[echo veldt]

i already do speedflip 💀

[drowsy folio]

u dont need speedflip

[vestal night]

naw this cant be real

[astral cedar]

i got champ 3 doing ground dribbles

[echo veldt]

practising on my dribble, ground and air

[drowsy folio]

just hit the mf ball

[echo veldt]

nothing hard lol except to control that

[astral cedar]

no speedflicks no aerial doubles nothing, just ground game

[vestal night]

are u being real

[echo veldt]

i checked tutorial, tried

[vestal night]

do u have any clips

[drowsy folio]

he a troll

[echo veldt]

medal doesnt work rn

[vestal night]

i feel like im sunlesskhan right now

int hat one video

[drowsy folio]

all u gotta do is hit the ball hard and u will get champ jus learn to do that

[echo veldt]

i mean lol, ive seen tutorial, all i need to do is Q + w, cancel roll and Q+S

[vestal night]

fr u can get gc1 off of hitting the ball hard

[echo veldt]

nohting hard in speedflip

[vestal night]

rocket league isnt about specific key hits or whatever

[drowsy folio]

bro stop talkin bout speedflip lmaoo

[echo veldt]

ok so

i can hit aerials, not like every single, but can

[vestal night]

just play the game more thats actually it

[echo veldt]

i do play

[vestal night]

just grind youll rank up

[echo veldt]

i already lost from g3 to g2 💀

[vestal night]

how is that possible

[strange charm]

Play 1s

[drowsy folio]

go to freeplay and just chase the ball, and just try to get quicker and quicker @echo veldt

[echo veldt]

it feels so random, so rather not

[vestal night]

what

[echo veldt]

i always play it

[vestal night]

1s is the absolute best way to get better

fastest and best

[echo veldt]

i had 2 matches today, in first match enemy could barely hit the ball, but won, in second match guy came back from 3-0 to 5-7

it feels random idk

[vestal night]

cause ur in gold

[drowsy folio]

so u lost to some1 who could barely hit the ball

[echo veldt]

i did

💀

[vestal night]

if uj can speedflip you should be scoring every single kickoff

[thick cargo]

That's normal

[echo veldt]

not using em on kickoffs

[vestal night]

wtf are you using them on

[drowsy folio]

not a good look

[echo veldt]

sometimes to just get in the position

[vestal night]

speedflip during kickoffs

that is the entire purpose of speedflips

[thick cargo]

I lose to a lot of people like that

[echo veldt]

ik that theyre made for kickoffs, but i feel like if i miss flick, then it'll be 💀

[drowsy folio]

well u proly a lower rank like this guy

[thick cargo]

I forgot

[vestal night]

well work on them if you want

but genuinely just grind 1s u will get way better

[strange charm]

Can some help me out

Im new to kbm

[echo veldt]

i just practising everything in lobby

atm its musty and some flick no idea how its called

[vestal night]

dont practice air drivbles and speedflips and all that

[strange charm]

Bro if feels like you don’t want to take it he advice

[vestal night]

i dont think he does

[mystic jolt]

if the ball is going towards your opponents net and you have posession but your car is going faster then the ball... do u sometimes just stop using gas to slow down to the same speed as the ball instead of braking b/c maybe its better to do so to keep more momentum?

[mild nest]

thats something u can only learn through playing the game

but try to keep the ball close to you and dont boom until u need to

but if ur anything below gold boom the ball as much as possible lol

[cyan sage]

But booming the ball is so fun

[echo veldt]

1v1 is just for checking what ive learned and it so random on kickoffs, i just lost rn due to it

every time i go 1v1, all i wanna do is to try stuff i practice

Idk how u can play it just for improve and rank💀

[cyan sage]

because in 1s you have to focus on your play and how to win withou a team mate so you will see your own mistakes faster and how to improve them and to adapt yourself.

[echo veldt]

I focus on stuff i practice like dribble

[cyan sage]

You learn to just play by yourself so u can use that knowledge when you play in a team and you have to do it yourself. That way when your team does fail you have it a lot easier then when u never played ones to learn how to

[echo veldt]

I had a lot of moments to score, but i prefer some beautiful goal. In 2v2 i trynna win

[cyan sage]

thats not important to improve if it doesnt get you anywere

[echo veldt]

Ik ik, but everytime i see those clips i getting mad, so i learning it too

Ive already improved my control of the car/ball much more in 10h than in previous 150h

[cyan sage]

Can understand, but its not something you have to do every time. Sometimes practice dribble and sometimes just play normal and learn other stuff, never focus on one thing

[echo veldt]

Not always playing normal gon improve u a lot 😦

I lost 150h just playing "normal"

Came back to the game recently and improved much more in 10-15h

Imo focusing on some thing Will help u more than just play for fun or normal

Like that u can work on every thing u need

Atleast it feels like for me

[warm nest]

their right @echo veldt 1s is a great way to improve

[echo veldt]

Ik that its good thing to do

Its like in every game

[cunning sorrel]

I’m looking for someone to possibly train peaked at champ one

Will,anyone help me

[agile perch]

Can someone help me figure out what im doing wrong with Speed Flips

[sterile kettle]

no

na

[cyan sage]

Oh

[static stirrup]

does anyone have any tips for getting better at directional air rolling? I just cant seem to figure it out

[quartz lagoon]

same

[spare elm]

Are you on console or pc?

[static stirrup]

pc but i use controller

[spare elm]

Have you tried any of the rings maps?

[static stirrup]

don't you need the steam version of the game for those? I have it on Epic Games

[spare elm]

I believe you’re able to now use workshop maps with bakkesmod. But if you don’t want to go though all that you can try going into training and aerialing from goal to goal while air rolling. Do that for a while and you’ll start seeing improvement.

Remember it’s all muscle memory, so the more you do it, the more your brain gets used to it.

[static stirrup]

Alright Thanks, I have bakkesmod so i'll try to figure out how to use workshop maps.

[spare elm]

Yes there is plenty of tutorials on YouTube. If you can’t get it right though, you can also practice what I said.

[static stirrup]

Gotcha, I appreciate it

[spare elm]

Nws

[lusty galleon]

you want the plugin WorkshopMapLoader

[spare elm]

^

[lusty galleon]

there are other ones but they are worse

also the fastest way to learn good air roll is to pick a single diagonal input (like down-right) and do a relatively easy rings map with ONLY that input while holding air roll

assuming you are learning air roll left, try with JUST down-right, then do up-right once you are comfortable

(you can also just mess around with air roll until you get it but that takes longer than specific training)

[static stirrup]

Oh ok, thanks

[lusty galleon]

np! you need to make sure you know how to turn left, right, forward, and backward with every input before you start combining them, otherwise you will memorize inefficient and slow turns

[dire scroll]

nae ^

[cyan sage]

Anyone got tips to get out of plat 3, I feel like im playing fast enough but my teammates just cant seem to save anything for the life of them

I can half flip, wave dash, and air dribble 6/10 times, and flip reset 3/10 times

I also beat diamonds in 1v1s easily and have had multiple gc's tell me I should be higher, idk what im doing wrong

[lusty galleon]

you got replays?

of games you lost?

[tender quiver]

what do you do to get off the wall for air dribbling? jump or dodge

[lusty galleon]

jump usually

dodge is for special setups that are much harder

[tender quiver]

oh ok tysm

[lusty galleon]

you need a good setup to airdribble, which means you need to be close to the ball as well as below it after you hit the wall

hit the ball, then let go of all controls to slow down for like half a second, then jump

[woeful mason]

considering you said you teammates can't seem to save anything, that means you probably leave your teammates in bad positions too much. 1v1s or even 2v1s.

[cyan sage]

1v1s i win against diamonds though, and in 2v2s, it shouldnt matter if they're alone, I take pressure off of them, they just miss the rolling ball

[woeful mason]

if it's you leave your teammate in a 1v1 vs the attacker on defense the mistake has already been made.

[cyan sage]

its my teammate vs the ball, no one else is on the ball, because I challenged to take pressure off

and they just miss the 2kph rolling ball, and i have no time to get back

[woeful mason]

that doesn't happen lol, that probably happens like once every 20 games max

[dire scroll]

Also, to the mod that warned me: the new looking for group is doo doo

[cyan sage]

It literally does, my teammates just cant hit the ball

You've probably been out of plat for too long, but it's literally impossible to get a good teammate

[light trellis]

I'm new can someone coach me

[cyan sage]

If you're new, just work on hitting the ball around in freeplay

[light trellis]

I have

[cyan sage]

do the training packs that come with the game as well, rookie striker and goalie

once you can do those, work on... pro i think it is? idk i havent done them in ages

[light trellis]

like 2

lmaooo

[cyan sage]

yeah just queue casual till you're level 10, then just spam queue ranked

If you place bronze, delete the acc and make a new one

Bronze is all smurfs, cant get out easily

[light trellis]

ty

[cyan sage]

Also watch some tips for beginners on youtube, i always watch SpookLuke and Thanovic

And if you feel like you going to hit bronze cause u think u suck just try and know the game a little in freeplay and just try out. And if u want some tips, controller settings if u use one or try out my camera settings(standard ones gonna make u lose it all) you can always send me a DM

[solemn vapor]

Hello, Can Someone help me learn how to DOUBLE TAP and how to FLIP RESET I know It's hard but I would love to use it when playing my favorite game mode: Rumble, It would help me a lot, I play on Nintendo Switch. Problem. I will not have microphone on or camera (or discord really). So we will have to make a party in Rocket league, I just want to get BETTER at rocket league. My Experience Level Is around 53 I think, IDK my rank. I Just want to learn some MECHANICS in rocket league. If you read this are U are willing to help THANK U A LOT .P.S. Its all because I've had a whopping ad 10 match lose streak. THANK YOU .

[lusty galleon]

if you rumble main wouldn't your time be better spent learning to use the abilities better

[hybrid mountain]

need oce coach

[lusty galleon]

why they gotta be in ur region

[proper stratus]

Thats true but also if u need rumble tips might as well go to thr rumble serv

I mean if u dont even know your rank jts hard to know what to improve

[junior trellis]

Any tips for me ?

[lilac whale]

watch your replay, pick something you suck at, train it

[urban kindle]

Im new

[orchid sage]

Hit ball in net

[solid loom]

is there any gc that can help me for my mechs i am getting pissed off the fact normally i can reset and do all the stuff and this period i can barely touch the ball in the air if u want to know my rank i am a peak gc2 if someone can check on me, no i cannot pay on paypal and stuff like this if someone wants to help me i'd like it

[ancient marsh]

[solid loom]

i'd just go fast ai that is how i got gc3

[urban kindle]

I can’t

[mystic meteor]

How can I hit the ball consistently I miss the shot every time I jump

[forest pawn]

you're not gonna be happy to hear it but I diagnose you with "play more"

[forest pawn]

as rumble top 15 no, learn how to rotate and reliably work with your teammates abilities rather than being perfect with your own

honestly the ability usage doesn't change that much from c1 - top 10

[brisk atlas]

can anyone give me tips on air dribbling with air roll on kbm?

[warped moat]

chase the ball in freeplay and hit as hard as you can and go to it as fast as you can

[lost heath]

bro the mods here are dumb, i got a warning for litteraly this message "does anyone need help with 1v1s" now obviously that means coaching but i still got a warning for posting in the wrong channel to "look for players"

[dusky fiber]

Can u air dribble without air roll?

[brisk atlas]

pretty much yeah, but i need to perfect my setup to do them consistently

[dusky fiber]

here a guide if u start getting into air dribbles: most important thing with air dribbles is the set up, if u can do that right u can get good tries, in general take your time with the set up at first. 1. try to get already on the ground in a good line so u dont go crazy left right before touching the ball. 2. try to get the ball as high as possible without it touching the ceiling. 3. u want to toch the ball when it has that up-movement and above the corner, otherwise the ball either goes to straight up the wall or too far away. 4. try to get in a similar speed as the ball. 5. At first, AS SOON as u touch the ball jump, rlly as soon as u touch it. When u focus on all these steps u should be already be very close to the ball after the set up. Then u just need to air roll in a straight position and try out the dribbles. Also try doing it in freeplay. Training packs can be good but there the set up is done for u and u might be able to actually dribble then but cant use it in game as u dont know how to set up, u can also send me vid of yours and i will try and give more individual tipps

[fallen quail]

can any1 live coach me while i play 1s placement games?

im plat btw

[lunar basin]

Can I look for a coach here

[tribal sleet]

Can someone please coach me I have some trouble with division making

[cyan sage]

just play

live coaching aint gonna help u

[lunar basin]

Yeah that won’t help in platinum

[cyan sage]

lf someone to watch my gameplay and tell me what i do wron g in it

[median vault]

Hello, I’m plat extremely close to diamond but I don’t manage to make that jump just yet, I don’t take the game seriously I play other games more I just play rocket league to kill time but I’d like to reach diamond, I play solo you’d think a duo would be what I need?

[shy geyser]

i came and see this and ngl a duo is nice to have instead of playing 1's, a jump to diamond would be a good overall ballcontrol and good positioning for 1's, i personally like 2's more so that might be the way to go but if you like 1's it would be those mechanics

[median vault]

Yeah I play 2s I meant getting a partner because I’ve gotten this far without one just me and randoms, you think I should do that get a partner for 2s instead of queueing randoms?

[mortal quail]

Getting a duo would be a good way to get a temporary jump to diamond
However you'll likely fall once you go back to solo queue

[shy geyser]

a real person to play with you might be hard to get but it would be possible, i got mine from random plays, if you get around the diamond mmr you have a decent chance of getting decent teamates, if you like how they play and they arent toxic (i would recommend also have the same region times, makes it easier to play with them) that would be a smart thing to do in my opinion

[shy geyser]

true but 2's is more enjoyable in my opinion

[cyan sage]

aerial on kbm pls

[median vault]

Yeah I will do that thank you very much

[shy geyser]

gl

[mortal quail]

Its a balance of fun and competitiveness

[median vault]

Most likely but if I keep playing with that same duo I think I’ll be able to maintain my place in diamond, I don’t care about the game enough to learn how to do all the areal tricks I stay on the ground most of the time unless to contest so I’m not getting too far

[cyan sage]

?

[shy geyser]

yeah, and its nice to not have to wait after the other person got his shot to steal the ball, and once you get a passing play (enemies dont know they exist smh) its an easy goal, funny

[mortal quail]

Ground play can take you to like gc if your good at it. But back to what I said, you will rely on that duo to play ranked 2s, if he can't play, you'll drop. Hence why its a balance. Do solo queue and duo queue occasionally

[median vault]

Okay will do thanks we’ll see how far I get haha

[signal lintel]

@median vault If you enjoy playing with the same person all the time, go for it. But you won't get better at adapting to different teammates and playing with different playstyles. So solo queue generally makes you better quicker

[median vault]

That’s true I’ve noticed it by the way I’ve been climbing the ranks from doodoo 3 up to almost diamond I think I’ll get that duo partner closer to the end of the season so I can reach that rank but in the meantime solo queue

Like I said I don’t really care that much to learn and I’m sure whoever wants a duo wants someone who’s main game is RL or at least cares enough to get off the ground

[cyan sage]

guys how do i learn to do aerial on kbm

[signal lintel]

That's fine. And idk I'd say most people just want to play with someone who plays regularly, doesn't have to be a lot, just enough to have somewhat consistent lvl of play

[median vault]

That’s true I’ll see later on the season for a partner I’ll stay in random queue to learn more thanks again

[cyan sage]

bruh

[craggy hawk]

Can you like not ask such a generic question and specify what you need help with

[mortal quail]

Most players in that rank to main knowledge also don't main RL, so you should be able to find a P3/D1 that you mesh with

[cyan sage]

when i jump off a wall my car is at a weird angle like its not completely parallel to the wall its angled away from it

[craggy hawk]

then turn your car?

[signal lintel]

Lol

[cyan sage]

but till then am already on the ground and the ball has gone away

is there a trainng pack?

[craggy hawk]

when u jump off the wall i presume you are trying to air dribble in which case why does it matter if you car is pointing away from the wall of course it should point away from the wall

[signal lintel]

Don't use training packs for wall to air dribbles, you need to practice setting up from anywhere

For normal aerials yeah use training packs

[cyan sage]

ok which ones would u suggest

[cyan sage]

yea ok

[signal lintel]

Idk I don't know many. There's some stuff in the pinned messages

[cyan sage]

ohk

[craggy hawk]

aerial shots- pass by i think poquito
double jump aerials if you know how to fast aerial

or at least these are what i use

[cyan sage]

yea thanks ill check it out

[cyan sage]

ohk thanks

ull on kbm?

[craggy hawk]

wall shots are good for jumping off the walls to take a shot which gets h familiar with how the car reacts when it jumps off the wall

[craggy hawk]

yes

[mortal quail]

Freeplay is just better for aerial training

The set up is 50% of the skill

[cyan sage]

damn ok so i have hope cause anyone i ask says buy a controller

[craggy hawk]

once u get used to kbm it doesent make a difference anymore

[cyan sage]

alr

[craggy hawk]

when i was gold i used to think oh i can’t do this i can’t do that cus i can’t joystick because i’m on kbm

[cyan sage]

yea ok

[cyan sage]

fr bro every1 tells me buy a controller ;-; (am in gold)

[craggy hawk]

but now i don’t rlly care anymore it’s the same like i’m not gonna buy a controller just to make myself feel better at a car game

[cyan sage]

yea make but uk mechanics right?

[ornate granite]

yo

[craggy hawk]

which mechanic

[cyan sage]

like a few of em

[craggy hawk]

i can do some stuff like mostly ground plays like bounce dribbles and powerslide cuts and maybe some other recovery mechs like half flips wave dashes and speed flips

am currently trying to learn air roll and get my air dribbles more consistent

[cyan sage]

ohk

[cyan sage]

whats ur jump set to and air roll left, air roll right

[cyan sage]

90%*

[mortal quail]

Wrong

[cyan sage]

Kbm is better for mechs imo

[cyan sage]

Cap

You cant even air dribble?

You cant even aerial, i’ve seen it

Now coach me @mortal quail

[lapis minnow]

[austere lily]

Does anyone have any free time to tell me what I need to improve on atleast Gc2 +, I feel like I’m good enough to get into the higher gc but not sure how to improve some skills

[lilac spindle]

[twilit fractal]

can someone coach me pls I'm dia 2

[hardy charm]

can someone teach me how to hit the ball consistently again. (I'm prob low c1 level but somehow c3) (Also i'm nae if that matters.) (Also I play on ps4 if that matters either.)

[junior trellis]

Can any one tell me how to use airroll ?

[hardy charm]

you hold down airroll and use your left stick if you use non directional

if you use directional you hold down what its binded to and can make miniscule adjustments with left stick

[unkempt mantle]

hey, i am high plat and would like a champ or gc to watch me play a ones match and give me comms, pretty much tell me what to do mid game

mic prefered**

[junior trellis]

Does anyone know what mecs i should know to get to diamond 2

?

[hardy charm]

Game sense (Rotations/Positioning, when to challenge/not challenge), dribbling, flicks and 50/50s (single jump 50/50s are goated)

[junior trellis]

👍

[hardy charm]

also triple flip resets, an absolute must

[junior trellis]

☠️

[hardy charm]

also if you dont know how to wave dash and half flip you might want to learn it

[solemn ice]

I dropped from c1 to d1 in tournaments.. I don’t know what to do any more.. this is so frustrating.. now 7 games lost in a row.. any tips how to get out of that slump? ..

[hardy charm]

[mortal quail]

Take a break

[solemn ice]

Yes that’s what I will do. I will just stop entirely.

[teal pasture]

You need coached hmu, any rank for NA and EU

[novel plinth]

Will going backwards on rings map improve my Ariel car control or should I just stick to air rolling but going forwards whenever I can in rings? any input would be good

[crisp remnant]

[humble sapphire]

fellas could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong when I try to speed flip?

I've got a video

[lusty galleon]

what are you doing to speedflip

it should be a diagonal flip where you cancel downwards immediately after flippin

[ancient osprey]

What is ur rank?

[violet kraken]

hi

[crisp schooner]

any ssls in here know how i can improve my mechs fast? i’m a gc3-ssl player

[hardy charm]

im not ssl but I have a suggestion

[crisp schooner]

shoot

[cunning nimbus]

is it weird that im around gold or silver yet i know how to speed flip and half flip 💀

[cyan sage]

no

u will never need to know how to speedflip

and half flip will help u but not that much considering just hitting the ball for u is difficult

[cunning nimbus]

true

[hardy charm]

to make it more clear he means you don't need to learn to half flip yet

and you need to be a lot more precise and consistent before learning to speedflip

[cunning nimbus]

yeah i realized that

[hardy charm]

try restarting the game I guess?

does it say why you cant play the tournament

like what requirement that isnt met

thats probably why 💀

you cant join until 15 minutes before it starts

if you just hit gold 16 minutes ago thats why you couldnt join before

unless you were silver

but im guessing you meant you were unranked

no need

your first tournament is ranked off of your competitive ranks

I would just wait to see if it lets you join in 20 mins

if it doesnt dm me and I'll try to help you

no thats not why, and yeah gold is really good

If you keep practicing you might be able to hit platinum soon

[cyan sage]

Silver

[cyan sage]

Gold is quite literally below average

It’s a start, but it isnt good

[hardy charm]

bruh you have no chill 💀

[cyan sage]

Im not going to lie to him

Gold is pretty damn bad, but it’s a start

[hardy charm]

its good compared to some ranks

[cyan sage]

Bad compared to most ranks

Plat 3 is average, pretty sure even gold 3 is a bottom 20% player

[hardy charm]

theres no way PLATS are average

[manic sinew]

20?

[cyan sage]

Yes, 20

[manic sinew]

they are below average 💀

[hardy charm]

thank god

[manic sinew]

You mean 80

[cyan sage]

Most players are just that bad, it’s average in 2s

[hardy charm]

Plat is by far the most idiotic rank in the game

[manic sinew]

20% is prolly d2 ish

[cyan sage]

No, i mean bottom 20%

[manic sinew]

nobody goes by bottm

[cyan sage]

Top 20 is diamond

[manic sinew]

exactly

[cyan sage]

I do when it’s below 50

[hardy charm]

eventually you do

aint nobody finna say ong top 90% is good

[cyan sage]

Im not saying “im a top 100% player” tf

“Im a top 80% player” sounds like massive amounts of copium

[manic sinew]

yea lol

[cyan sage]

It’s the average in 2s

Plat 2 is the average in 3s i believe

[manic sinew]

Biggest fluctuations too.

[manic sinew]

im below average by a rank 💀

[cyan sage]

? No it’s average, it doesn’t fluctuate

[mortal quail]

Plat 1-diamond 2 is around average
So plat 3 would be the middle

[cyan sage]

D2 is average in rumble maybe

[manic sinew]

One game I play against someone who hits a psycho 200 kph. Another game my opponents struggle to hit the ball

[mortal quail]

D2 is 10% of the playerbase

[cyan sage]

Doesnt mean it’s the average

[hardy charm]

rumble 💀

[manic sinew]

its fun

[cyan sage]

10% of players really that bad? Unlucky

[mortal quail]

D1 is 13%

[cyan sage]

If you’re below plat in norms

[manic sinew]

but it is fun

[cyan sage]

13% of people really that bad 💀

[manic sinew]

I am D1

[manic sinew]

Whats ur rank?

[cyan sage]

It’s less fun than norms

[mortal quail]

30% of the playerbase is plat

[cyan sage]

Plat 3

[hardy charm]

I would rather genuinely be bronze and know how terrible I am then be plat 💀

[manic sinew]

dang

[cyan sage]

30% of players really that bad

[manic sinew]

wait what?

[cyan sage]

I’d rather just ballchase through plat

[manic sinew]

Doesn’t work when your tm8 also ball chases

[cyan sage]

I could unbind drive forwards and be champ, how people even get stuck below champ is beyond me

[cyan sage]

Chase faster?

Dont have to worry about tm8 if you score everytime you get the ball

[manic sinew]

he is gonna chase you no matter what lol

[manic sinew]

Problem is I don’t lmao

[cyan sage]

And he’ll reset for kickoff when i score

[cyan sage]

Skill issue

No, just a rank in anything to do tournys

[hardy charm]

did you get ranked in 1s?

[cyan sage]

It doesnt matter

A rank in anything should set your tourny rank

[manic sinew]

ima play my placement matches peace

cuz I still didn’t

[hardy charm]

delete the account and restart with 2s or 3s

[cyan sage]

???

Thats wild

[mortal quail]

Bros better at trolling than you

How you get troll diffed

[hardy charm]

only thing worse than being plat is being a ones main

[cyan sage]

Nah bro’s just an idiot

1s is best mode, he’s off a perc

[hardy charm]

three wheeled mode is peak

[cyan sage]

I wouldnt like 1s if i was less skilled than ero too tbf

[cyan sage]

Finally a good opinion

[cyan sage]

That’s out?

[hardy charm]

ltm sadly

[cyan sage]

What

If you buy rocket pass and 3k, you get 3k and rocket pass

[mortal quail]

You get 20% more exp

[cyan sage]

Believe it or not

[mortal quail]

Off rocket pass

[gritty laurel]

how do I learn how to wall aerial?

[mortal oasis]

need a couch above gc2

[terse sleet]

any higher diamond low champ players have some tips or wanna do a quick session?

[dusky fiber]

U mean air dribbles from wall? Or in general jumping of effectively?

[dusky fiber]

What do u need?

[dusky fiber]

I mean i m not high dia/low champ but what do u need tipps for?

[terse sleet]

just in general. ball control. when toi leave the ball for teamate and stuff like that. i feel like i have dewcent rotation but other things

@dusky fiber

[turbid notch]

im ass someone help

[lusty galleon]

practice what you arent good at
every 1 hour of training will improve you as much as 10 hours of ranked. choose how you spend your time accordingly.

[dusky fiber]

Here more general things that might help: what i would recommend u: rotate more around smaller pads, this way u stay more in rotation and can help your teammate out more, play less risky (dont overcommmit in corners for example, try jumping 1 time and focus on landing rather then justv flicking in), try watch out with passes, try and pass in a way that u can rotate quick otherwise no one will be back and your teammate cant fully go for it, try to mix up your palystyle when u face opponents so u are not predictable, play more 1s to improve individually and most important thing always look at yourself and see what u can do better, dont just blame your mate, even if he is not good or cuts u learn how to deal with it then those games will become winable too
About when to leave the ball for teammates: try looking around more, usually short ball cam off/on or flicks to one side makes u see your opponents/mate, if u do that more often it makes the decision making easier, as the decision is done for u: for instance if u see your mate going for it when u took ball cam off u know to leave it, if u see him rotating back u will go,…
Ball control is all about practicing

[turbid notch]

dawg wtf is this essay

anyway someone should fr coach me

[lusty galleon]

lmaooo bro he aint talkin to you

[turbid notch]

yeah I know lol

[terse sleet]

anyone wanna help some coaching in casuals?

[terse sleet]

[dusky fiber]

Not the first time people asking, copy paste and some individual lines is the way to go lol

[terse sleet]

👍

[solid crane]

Best way to give advice, honestly.
Type it out once and then spam it

[dusky fiber]

Yup, usually the questions are similar everytime so it works 😅

[daring bear]

How do I escape being hardstuck in 3s. I finished c2 in 2s last season, but cant escaped 800 in 3s. Every game more points than both teammates combined and I dont ballchase.

[lusty galleon]

points just tell you how much you are on the ball, not how well you played

do you have replays of games you lost?

[daring bear]

Dont generally save replays but ill keep you in mind. Feels like my play is too elevated and slowing down is a disservice.

[lusty galleon]

saving replays of losses is extremely helpful, even when you dont have someone to share them with

same reason its useful to record yourself practicing your instrument, or to review a chess game you lost

you get to see how good your immediate decision making was by comparing it to your unconstrained analysis of the position

you're always smarter in replays than in the game

[lusty galleon]

also, do you solo queue?

solo queue in 3s is literally letting RNG determine how well 66% of your team plays

[daring bear]

its hard finding people to group with your skill level when youre 300 lp off your skill level

[terse sleet]

facts basically impossible

[jovial robin]

can anyone teach me with mic im oce

[terse sleet]

what rank are you?

[jovial robin]

unranked

[fluid epoch]

can someone give me tips on how i can finally escape diamond

[lusty galleon]

well it depends how you play

i imagine like most diamonds you practice mechy stuff and cant position very well?

[fluid epoch]

the only mechy thing i practice is the speedflip

[jovial robin]

can anyone teach me how to get good at aerial?

[woeful silo]

How can I tilt up or down while continuously airrolling?

[woeful silo]

A mate of mine got super mechanical and confident to escape diamond. That's one way lol. Better off just get better at reading the game and getting meaningful hits on the ball, make your touches and hits matter and not just boom it without a plan

[dusky fiber]

In general flying or air dribbles?

[dusky fiber]

What exactly do u mean? U mean where u need to place the trigger that your car goes up while air rolling? If yh its either down/right or down/left, more down then to the side in both cases

[woeful silo]

So I push down then push right in a continuous motion where i slide it to the right or push down, then centre the stick and then push right...?

[jovial robin]

btoth

[dusky fiber]

Depends what u want to achieve, usually after u jump when u leave it in a certain position it should be fine, lets say clockwise, straight down is 6 pm, then the trigger should be around 5 pm for right side, or 7 pm for left side, hope that makes sense lol

[dusky fiber]

Got air dribbles copied 1 sec

[dusky fiber]

here a guide if u start getting into air dribbles: most important thing with air dribbles is the set up, if u can do that right u can get good tries, in general take your time with the set up at first. 1. try to get already on the ground in a good line so u dont go crazy left right before touching the ball. 2. try to get the ball as high as possible without it touching the ceiling. 3. u want to toch the ball when it has that up-movement and above the corner, otherwise the ball either goes to straight up the wall or too far away. 4. try to get in a similar speed as the ball. 5. At first, AS SOON as u touch the ball jump, rlly as soon as u touch it. When u focus on all these steps u should be already be very close to the ball after the set up. Then u just need to air roll in a straight position and try out the dribbles. Also try doing it in freeplay. Training packs can be good but there the set up is done for u and u might be able to actually dribble then but cant use it in game as u dont know how to set up, u can also send me vid of yours and i will try and give more individual tipps

[cyan sage]

dont know its muscle memory

ur practicing it wrong

you have to start with single rolls if you get those down you know how to do it continuously

[woeful silo]

I can continuously airroll bro, just needed to know how to tilt

[lilac whale]

are you talking about how to control directional air roll (air roll left or air roll right?)

[heavy harness]

i swear platinum 3 even diamond 1 is 10 times easier than fucking platinum 1

wtf is this shit bro i cant win a single game

everyone i face plays like a fucking ssl its actually insane

actual bs

[slim flume]

@distant dust dont ever play with this game he says he is gc 2 but he plays like a diamond and ball chases and leaves you back in a 1v2 with no boost

[heavy harness]

probably bought an acc

[slim flume]

mmmh probably

he jumped on an alt account as he said apparently but i think it was his main

as he played so terrible

[heavy harness]

lol

this game is unplayable

at least when you solo q

i decided to play 3's cause i have a mad losing streak on 2's so i queued up got into a game then the other team scored very early and of course one of my teammates abandoned the game

and now i deranked cause of that game

[mystic jolt]

im able to do all that you described now what im having trouble with when I have my first touch in the air usually my car will touch the ball and becomes slightly disoriented from the weight of the ball. do ppl do this and then immedeatly adjust for it? or do they just feather boost similar to the speed of the ball to just avoid getting disoriented from the ball altogeather?

[dusky fiber]

Tbh i havnt rlly experienced that by now, might this be cause u are a bit more to the side? Usually when u are in a straight position while dribbling u should bounce of the ball, try and just tap the boost btw. If u boost thru whole time u push the ball away from u what we dont want to achieve

[dusky fiber]

Play more defensive & dont chase, u should be fine with that, plat tend to chase so focus on good powershots on target, with that alone u should get higher

[heavy harness]

ive been diamond but i took a long break

[dusky fiber]

I understand, still would recommend that above, once u get to your rank again u can play „normal“ again, ik playing defensive and mainly powershot is not that much fun, but usually it works

[cyan sage]

yall got tips on aerials, i can get it into the air and follow it just fine just idk what to do after that

[dusky fiber]

U mean flying in general or air dribbling?

[heavy harness]

alright

i'll try

[scarlet quest]

Is there anyone who would coach me? I can pay with credits/items /gratitude (xbox trade only tho), I have hit champ, but I just can't get to air dribble / flip reset properly I really want too 😦 Ive tried for hours and hours

[tribal sleet]

Can someone please coach me? I think I’m bad at rotation and decision making

[hushed storm]

Any tips I keep falling from champ to diamond
Peak c2 div 3

[cyan sage]

dribbling

[dusky fiber]

here a guide if u start getting into air dribbles: most important thing with air dribbles is the set up, if u can do that right u can get good tries, in general take your time with the set up at first. 1. try to get already on the ground in a good line so u dont go crazy left right before touching the ball. 2. try to get the ball as high as possible without it touching the ceiling. 3. u want to toch the ball when it has that up-movement and above the corner, otherwise the ball either goes to straight up the wall or too far away. 4. try to get in a similar speed as the ball. 5. At first, AS SOON as u touch the ball jump, rlly as soon as u touch it. When u focus on all these steps u should be already be very close to the ball after the set up. Then u just need to air roll in a straight position and try out the dribbles. Also try doing it in freeplay. Training packs can be good but there the set up is done for u and u might be able to actually dribble then but cant use it in game as u dont know how to set up, u can also send me vid of yours and i will try and give more individual tipps

[woeful silo]

spend more time in freeplay than matches. You might need a little rank detox by chilling in casual alot

Happened to me lol. Once you're refreshed, you'll be champ in no time

[junior trellis]

Can anyone teach me how to air dribble?

[tribal sleet]

Play the game

Ur silver

Free play

If I get plat then u need coaching

But now ur probably new

Ur still getting used to the game

Just play it

Then play ranked

Play more

Just look stuff on YouTube on rotations and desicion making

Yh ik som

Some*

“[why you suck] shadow defense “
“Uncomftrouble saves”

U can find then in browse

Uhh

I only use these

[mystic jolt]

if your opposite side of the field shadow defending b/c the play allowed for that to happen do you always want to try to same side shadow field shadow defend? sometimes ill cross over to same side but the play doesnt really allow for it b/c ill overextend while crossing and theyre dribbling

[north prism]

Do you think itd be worth it to switch to a controller if Ive already played on keyboard mouse for quite a while now? Im around plats 1 and Ive never used a controller to play rl

[full schooner]

Yes

[latent heron]

speed flip strat on kbm someone can help me?

[full schooner]

U dont get better automatically. Work on your ground control and shooting consistency and bam, easy gold

Np

[wispy herald]

can someone coach me? im d1

i want someone to prove me that its not the teammates fault

i dont think you're getting any good coaching from a d1

pretty miserable rank tbh

just get ready for the awful teammates

did this man just delete his messages?

🤯

[native coral]

He did!!

[wispy herald]

omg

!!!!

[late meadow]

Hello everyone, just a quick question:
How can I change my IN-GAME GAMERTAG (the name that's floating above my car during gameplay) WITHOUT having to change my Epic display name?

Background: I saw a YT vid where two payers on the same team changed their name to "Zen". They were both named "Zen" at the same time (not to mention the real Zen). How is this possible?

So far I have only found a way to change the "display name" (inside your epic account pages), which you can only do every 2 weeks, and it can't already be used by someone else.

[crystal vine]

should’ve bought the game when it was on steam

It’s not possible on epic without waiting the 2 weeks

[woeful silo]

lmao

[late meadow]

NOOOOOOO!!!!! 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

But thanks anyway! 👍

[crystal vine]

I think there are ways to buy rocket league steam codes and redeem them. Then you can link your accounts.

[late meadow]

I know, rigth?! 🤣 would have been hilarious!

[late meadow]

😳 Yoiu're giving me hope??

[crystal vine]

You would have to buy from a third party seller though.

well yeah I guess

[late meadow]

Awesome... thanks for the tip! I shall investigate further... 😈

[crystal vine]

good luck!

[woeful silo]

I'm zen on rl lmao

I'm on steam

[dense citrus]

where can you buy a key without spending a ridiculous amount of money

[gentle plover]

Can someone coach me? I am gold 3 and I really need help

[late meadow]

🤣 for reals? That's hilarious! I shall be joining you "shortly" (i.e. IF I can get this to work without having to spend an exorbitant amount of cash)

[cyan sage]

u dont need help

u just need to play more

[late meadow]

@crystal vine @woeful silo quick update... the cheapest Steam Key I found so far is.... hold on to your hats... €387!?!?!?! 😱 And you gave me hope @crystal vine 💔

[woeful silo]

Yep, thought you'd know lmao

[junior trellis]

Hi

Any tips on how to get out of plat 3 ?

[gentle plover]

play the game

[junior trellis]

I do lol

[gentle plover]

Then play it more

[nocturne breach]

what high gcs - ssls are doing different compared to low-mid gcs

[fluid epoch]

i have the speedflip trainer plugin and it says that my dodge angle is -45 and its on yellow color so i how can make it perfect if i am with keyboard and mouse

[dusky fiber]

would say speed, consistency and mindset, but i m myself not ssl just high gc

[mortal quail]

From my experience
Its from the touches they get. They also tend to be more mechanically sound and have more consistent rotations. Watch a gc1 keep possession vs a gc3. Big difference

[somber brook]

Could slme1 give me tips or something, I'm stuck in plat but idk if it's because of my tm8s or my mechanical issues

[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
It wouldn't be your teammates

[somber brook]

I honestly didn't learn much in gold tho

[mortal quail]

You probably have
Stuff like shooting, saving, rotations, positioning, power clears, etc

[somber brook]

I could but wouldn't it be alot better if I had a duo tho?

For like coms and stuff

[mortal quail]

Yes and no
You'd get a temporary jump in rank but its better to solo queue
You can also do both solo and duo queue and you should be fine. Comms aren't that important in this game

[somber brook]

True but armt com.s important for setting up shots tho?

[mortal quail]

Nah
Comms are better used for defense over offense plays. But again, comms aren't really needed as long as you pay attention to what your teammate is doing

[signal lintel]

If you are playing slow enough to comm that way then you're playing way too slow

[somber brook]

How should I improve on this stuff?

[mortal quail]

Practice
Shooting and saves can be done with basic packs and freeplay.

[somber brook]

Iv already done all the packs

Completed them with 100 percent

[mortal quail]

Do it again

Repetition

Make the shots harder by having a certain placement

[compact breach]

hi im new can anyone help me

[somber brook]

@compact breach How new

[compact breach]

like 15 mins new my friend told me to download the game

[somber brook]

Ok I'll try, I'm also ganna try and find some1 to play with

[mortal quail]

Have fun
I recommend playing solo and adding a random teammate you like. Using the chats doesn't guarantee a good player

[somber brook]

Ya ik the chats don't gaurntie it, but ima help this new player

[sullen wadi]

any1 coach?

[cyan sage]

Anyone here a coach

[winter fable]

can somebody teach me how to play rocket league?

[uneven burrow]

Im looking for a coach, im diamond 1, Could anyone help me? Dm me and we can vc!

[silent garden]

anyone in here asking for a coach, try to pose a more specific question so that someone can help you. the majority of people who help in here are not interested in sitting down and giving a replay review.

[uneven burrow]

Im looking for a coach, im diamond 1, Could anyone help me? Dm me and we can vc!

[silent garden]

at d1 your focus should be on improving your fundamentals. solidify all of your basic mechanics, make small pad use and good rotations things you don't have to think about, and just put time into the game.

[uneven burrow]

Im not actually d1, im just hardstuck, my peak is c1 div2 but i can't seem to get through

[silent garden]

same tips still apply, the only real difference between diamonds and champs is consistency

[uneven burrow]

I Have great recoveries and im pretty fast, I Don't get why im stuck in diamond

[silent garden]

how often do you find yourself blaming your teammates?

[uneven burrow]

I've done it like 6 times during my 200 hours of gameplay, I Usually blame myself due to not have the best positioning

[proper stratus]

ur speed doesnt matter if u cant create good pressure

[silent garden]

so then focus on your positioning. also 200 hours is pretty low for champ, so i would say don't beat yourself up for being diamond-champ

[proper stratus]

if you are hardstuck d1 then you are d1

[proper stratus]

fr i taken time to get to c1 💀

[chrome zephyr]

Yeah i hit champ at around 1200 hours, so champ at 200 hours is low

[uneven burrow]

I Mean im not necessarily hardstuck, I Just seem to get to d2 like div 2 or div 3 then consistantly lose

[uneven burrow]

Is that good or bad for having low hours at champ

[chrome zephyr]

What gamemode do you usually play?

[proper stratus]

dayum

[uneven burrow]

Im starting to do some 1s but i do 2s mainly

[proper stratus]

i hit champ first time at 350 hours i believe

[tribal depot]

I hit GC at 1200 lol

[proper stratus]

idk my current

[chrome zephyr]

grind 1s for like the next 100 hours

[uneven burrow]

first time hitting c1 for me was like 140 hours i think

[chrome zephyr]

hop into 2s and you will see major difference

[uneven burrow]

140 - 150

[chrome zephyr]

1s is a lot more punishing and you notice your mistakes a lot more

[uneven burrow]

alr, If i get annoyed from loss what should i do?

[proper stratus]

thats not good advice

[chrome zephyr]

Hop into freeplay to cool off

[proper stratus]

u need a mix of 2s too or ull start playing like u do in 1s

= ballchasing

[chrome zephyr]

I was hard stuck d1, and i grinded 1s for about 50-100 hours and i instanly ranked up faster

That worked for me atleast

[uneven burrow]

how long?

[proper stratus]

i mean at d1 thatd work cus its all ballchasing anyway

[chrome zephyr]

until you stopped tilting

[proper stratus]

what rank are you currently?

[chrome zephyr]

C2 peak

I hang around div 2 or 3 c1

[proper stratus]

ok

[uneven burrow]

What should i do in freeplay? I Always stick to freestlying- i wanna get out of the habit

[proper stratus]

personally i just got out of d1 by playing

[chrome zephyr]

Spookluke has a video on a warmup

I would check that out

[uneven burrow]

ah ok

[chrome zephyr]

Demer are you pc?

[uneven burrow]

Yea

Why d'you ask?

[chrome zephyr]

use workshop maps

[uneven burrow]

I have been

[chrome zephyr]

I recommend CoCo's aimtrainer and any rings map

[proper stratus]

i think 1s is better shooting training than coco aimtrainer

[chrome zephyr]

Depends tbh

[uneven burrow]

Getting it rn

[proper stratus]

(its real situations with real bounces)

[chrome zephyr]

You learn different things with 1s and Cocos

[uneven burrow]

easy normal or survival?

Should i start at easy?

[chrome zephyr]

Cocos is like learning how to hit the ball where you want
