[torn ginkgo]

u went into the ball a little bit sideways

[wary kite]

Can someone give me tips in gold ive been stuck in gold for like 160 hours i got to plat then dropped im not sure if its my teammates or me

[mortal quail]

Gold: Get down the basics of the game such as rotations, positioning, power clears, decent saving, shooting, (not passing), reads, and keeping control of the ball. Once you have a good grasp on all of these its a matter of time before you get to plat.

[dusky fiber]

Try 2 things, 1. dont chase, 2. try getting better with powershots on target out of multiple positions, that alone should get u higher

[wary kite]

ok thanks!

Do u guys know any training packs i can use to help me get better with those?

i mean, i peaked c1 b4 😁

i think i should learn some mechs yea

[cyan sage]

lf someone to watch me play a game or two and tell me what i do wrong

[simple cove]

Hey all! im working on powershots and accuracy. im having a hard time with the timing, and angles of some shots. im hoping i can get a champ/GC player to do me a favor? could i get someone to go through 1 or preferably all 3 of these training packs record and upload them so i can watch and compare?

How can i do aerials shots on keyboard?

[cyan sage]

yo can a gc or so watch me play 1 game and tell me what im doing wrong?

[lunar blade]

im kbm player and u just gotta do it the same way as a controller player would. maybe serach up some vids on YT were a kbm player showes it

same procedure tho 🙂

[midnight sequoia]

Guys

I am silver 3

And I don't need to learn all the ways of aireal

[cyan sage]

lf someone to watch me play a game or two and tell me what i do wrong

[midnight sequoia]

Anyone?

[sharp karma]

what do you mean?

[half python]

can anyone coach me in 1s or 2s?

[midnight sequoia]

I want to learn aireals

The main ones

[fluid owl]

Is anyone that in kbm that is really good help me or give me good advice

Please dm me

[lilac whale]

what rank do you play at, are you on pc, and which one do you want help with? 1s or 2s?

[half python]

im c1 in 2s and d2 in 1s, im on pc, and ill take help with whatever

[half python]

.

[lilac whale]

dm me, i wouldnt mind helping you

[midnight sequoia]

Guys

[weary totem]

Can any keyboard players give me some tips to get better?

[midnight sequoia]

I just need the main ones

Can anyone help me how to aireal in private match

[versed topaz]

You don't need them in silver

Get used to hit the ball on the ground more consistently and with more power

Aerials aren't necessary until Plat 1 or Gold 3 (atleast from when I last played there)

[midnight sequoia]

What about shot power or dribbling

I suck at both

[versed topaz]

That yeah

Those 2 you do

[midnight sequoia]

Lol I am very bad at them

[versed topaz]

Vc?

I'll help

[midnight sequoia]

K

But my VC is disabled

[versed topaz]

On discord I meant

[midnight sequoia]

Can't I invite you to a party

[midnight sequoia]

My mic only for pcs and ps

I have been hardstuck diamond for 2 years if anybody can coach me for free that would be nice. Thanks!

[drowsy garnet]

hey guys looking for a coach

im gold

[brittle crater]

I accidentally made it into d2 in tourneys and I’m barely d1 help pls

[verbal harbor]

best way to make my teammate start trusting my centers and 50s?

[upbeat marsh]

find a teammate that u can trust

[worldly quarry]

i need help hitting gc i played in c3 div 4 last night and played perfectly but i play in c2 and won lose win lose win lose

[dusky fiber]

try not to chase and get better with powershots on target out of multiple positions

[dusky fiber]

see it as a chance to play against better people and go for the challenge, nothing to loose in tournys anway

[dusky fiber]

ik its a pain but this is usually how grinding works

[random tartan]

Can anyone in gc possibly play a casual with me or something and tell me what's up, I feel like my challenge timings are bad aswell as when and where to rotate. I'm diamond

[modest canyon]

anyone know whats the best controller i can get thats under $25? im trynna switch from kbm to controller.

[mortal quail]

Don't bother getting a cheap controller

[modest canyon]

what would be good value then

around how much

[mortal quail]

Unfortunately like $50+

Don't recommend off brand

You can if you want, but they usually have issues early on

[modest canyon]

whats a reliable brand

[gusty geyser]

maybe a used xbox or ps4 would be at 25

[mortal quail]

The official brands of Xbox or sony

You could try getting a used controller just to test

[reef tartan]

ds4 is bad

[mortal quail]

But if you do end up liking it, get a new one

[reef tartan]

too small

[modest canyon]

alr ty

i heard that ps4 controllers are best tho

[gusty geyser]

yeah wait for december deals if anything and ps4 you can add attachment if needed xbox is less convenient for this but more ergonomique

[modest canyon]

yea

[reef tartan]

i have one on my table right now but i am using a switch pro controller with stick drif lol

[gusty geyser]

yeah they both work fine now for supports

Attachments is another thing that some considers

[reef tartan]

you can download ds4windows if you decide to get a ps4 controller

[last flare]

Some people should just stop giving tips

[toxic temple]

what do I do if im plat (the worst rank ever) and my opponents are ballchasing, i hate it so much. I played vs more ranked players and i got demolished, atleast I liked it since they dont play that bad as plats.
Main question: how to play vs ballchasers

[mortal quail]

Being patient
They are gonna make mistakes, run outta boost, etc.

[toxic temple]

thanks i`ll try

[signal lintel]

Ballchase better. If ur closer/quicker to the ball, get it around then. If you aren't, fake to make them throw it away

[toxic temple]

thanks i`ll try it too

[modest canyon]

Ero, can you check your dms? I found a controller that seems good but idrk

Is anyone on kbm that’s really good help me get better and please dm me if you can

[edgy radish]

I dont even understand man I was champ3 last season now no matter how much I grind im stuck at freaking d3 whats goin on why my skill just got worse

I'm actually so confused

[sterile kettle]

same c1 stuck

[mortal quail]

Take a break

[rough hound]

im peak 1182 mmr but can’t get out of low d1 in 2s what do i do

and over the course of this time being hardstuck i’ve improved and only loss more mmr

[signal lintel]

Lol DM if you wanna talk about it

[silk widget]

how do i know that my flip reset connected?

[drowsy oyster]

Can anyone help me do Musty flicks

[signal lintel]

Try flipping

But after you do them a lot, you get a feel for it

Hmm

[frozen hazel]

im ssl if anyone looking for a coach

[drowsy garnet]

i just need help with flip resets

[cyan sage]

can anyone help me to get diamond?

[slender prawn]

why am i so ass at 1s

[hardy charm]

because 1s is the sweatiest gamemode known to man

[fast gate]

It just depends on what kind of player you are, and if you play it alot or not.

[fast gate]

I've seen gc2s that are like d2/3

?

[lusty galleon]

if you're 1s rank is lower than your other ranks, you are just normal

the average d3-c1 in 1s is about gc1 in 2s

im pretty sure they mean they are gc in other modes

[fast gate]

Ya I got a few friends that are gc2/3 in 2s and there like d2/3 in 1s

Ya that was the point...

[lusty galleon]

if someone is gc in a normal ranked mode i would consider them a gc

1s just has messed up distribution

??

bro is defending 1s ranks like crazy

diamond being top 3% of whatever is pretty fucked imo

[fast gate]

season resets set your 2s mmr so low but not ur 1s as much

[lusty galleon]

i think its cause ur 1s mmr is literally just much lower

[fast gate]

Like you drop 1 div in 1s but 1 rank in 2s

Ya that's what I'm getting at. 1s distribution is different from 2s

Each div in 1s is like 10mmr too

[cyan sage]

which is bad

they cant force people to play 1s if they dont like it for example

[lusty galleon]

no hes ssl

[cyan sage]

people like to lie about ranks here

[cyan sage]

lf someone to watch me play a game and tell what i do wrong in that senario and what i could of done better.

[sterile kettle]

coaching anyone c1 and under

[cyan sage]

yo im down lol

[sterile kettle]

dm me

[rough hound]

why is solo q so shit but when you’re in a team it’s sweaty asf

[mortal quail]

Solo queue is fine, duo queue is sweaty when your in a balanced game

[lament gorge]

Anyone cool to coach a washed player? C1 div 2 in 3s and d3 div 4 in 2s.

[sturdy nest]

what rank are you

[river spruce]

my mechs are horrible for a diamond

i mean yeah

sure

[digital sentinel]

yo im looking for a coach

looking for someone to help me with ball control and air roll shots im gold to plat range

[civic anchor]

ok now code a bubble sort in python

[signal lintel]

imagine thinking i remember a single sorting algorithm

[signal lintel]

what rank and mode?

[verbal harbor]

I trust my teammates, it's the first advice i got

good for you

[valid cradle]

Hey y'all
Hopped back in to the game after a little break.
Ball control, dribbling and defending are some of my weakness I can't figure out
Any basic tips?

[idle locust]

@sterile kettle coach me

[winged scaffold]

in which gamemode are mechanics most important?

[lusty galleon]

freestyle 1v1

mechanics are important in all modes

[lilac whale]

right haha, people act like mechanics mean something in ranked.... not true until way high ssl

[lusty galleon]

yea people obsess over mechanics and make basic decision mistakes

"i can double flip reset... why i stuck in c1?"

[lilac whale]

watch your replays, find something you "fucked up" or made a poor choice on and go into freeplay and train it. No way to get better without discecting your game and training to improve

[sterile kettle]

[coarse scroll]

nah mechanics are definitely important to a certain extent in GC, unless you are flakes with pro gamesense you aren't going to hit SSL without proper mechanics

[rough hound]

lf coaching, washed c1 currently in high d1

[mellow plover]

I'm curious how I'm supposed to be able to do anything when everyone but me ball chases everything. I feel like the second I see an opening one of my teammates double commits off the rip

[lilac whale]

mechanics only, no. You're wrong

[lilac whale]

..... you have it completely backwards but sure you do that and see how it works out

[fossil gulch]

Any tips on ground carry to air dribblei can't seem get under ball good

[coarse scroll]

wdym I got it backwards, it is quite difficult to get past GC1 without mechanics beyond like ground dribbles and aerials. What sort of things did you learn when pushing for GC2+, only being able to like bounce dribble and like 45 flick severely limits attacking options from my experience but ig I might be mistaken

[coarse scroll]

have the ball just in front of the center of your car, and then perform a double jump. If you want to hold the ball on the nose of your car do it quickly or if you want to create seperation then delay the second jump slightly. Then tilt the nose of the car backwards and begin boosting near-vertically (will be like a 70-80 degree angle), and it should land on the nose of your car nicely

[lilac whale]

you're logic is backwards and you can't deny it. You don't earn a very high rank because of mechanics. You gain the ability to do mechanics because you acheived a high rank.

So much misinformation in Rocket League and it's bc you people just make up stories to make yourselves feel better

[coarse scroll]

You don't gain mechanics by being a high rank though? Mechanics is developed through experience and training. Your rank is like 80% gamesense 20% mechanics for the most part, but it becomes very difficult to train gamesense after a certain point imo. Developing some good aerial car control and perhaps learning to air dribble seems easier to me but being fully honest perhaps I am mistaken, I don't know how to air dribble yet off the wall. If it is okay, could you provide me some help on how you developed GC2+ gamesense? I'm honestly getting hardstuck a bit now and I thought mechanics might be worth learning now but if you didn't find them worth learning for SSL then ig I might as well stick to gamesense

[lilac whale]

I know it to be true, over 19000 RL games and 4000 hours plus discussions with literal professionals you don't get good or rank up because of mechanics. Period. I've played 19000 matches and never once said "man i only lost because that guy had mechanics". Never has that happened. You don't rely on mechanics whatsoever to grow as a player or improve. You delve way to deep into one teeny part of the game. Mechanics don't matter really. Never have....... until you reach a certain height of competition.

I promise you anyone below top 100 players needs to seriously focus on what you call gamesense over mechanics. I know this to be true from second hand experience.

Rocket is mental more than anything and you training triple flip resets won't make you a better player

[coarse scroll]

I mean yeah, I'll take your word for it that mechanics aren't particularly important, I'm significantly lower than you in rank. But anyways, could you help with the second part of the question? What areas of your gamesense did you work on to hit GC2/GC3/SSL, and how did you train that? Any help would be appreciated ❤️

[lilac whale]

I spent hours and hours reviewing my gameplay and watching myself make mistakes over a 4000 hour time period. I saw my mistakes. I learned from them. It took time but I worked hard to get where I am today, and guess what, I still suck

it's because this game is an insane mental grind and mostly falls down to being present minded and smart, not mechanical

[coarse scroll]

oh yeah most definitely, I was just thinking about like learning air dribbles from the wall not like triple resets haha

[lilac whale]

if you truly want help with being more aware and having better game sense then I don't mind helping you, but it's going to start with you reviewing your replays (or we can together) and seriously focusing on fundamentals. Not mecahanics

[coarse scroll]

yeah sure homie thats fine, I'm happy to learn whatever helped you get through GC haha. I'm a very ground based player anyway, I'm a 1s main.

should I just DM a replay file?

[coarse scroll]

wait hold up homie ur c2 wtf are u talking about

no wonder u were dodging my questions about how u hit ssl so hard 💀

[lilac whale]

Not sure where you're getting your info but don't make assumptions about other people.

[coarse scroll]

u posted in LFG saying ur looking for a C2D1 tm8 💀

ur either full on smurfing or not ssl idk what else to say homie

[last flare]

He literally said he doesn't know how to air dribble off the wall

That's some serious skill issue

Nobody is saying you have to triple reset or do insane air plays

Although i never played an ssl that can't do some pretty good shots/mechanics.

You realise reading the ball early and controlling it in the air is still mechanics right?

[coarse scroll]

idk how he expected me to hit gc2 without a basic airdribble 😭

let alone high ssl 💀

[last flare]

That's completely false

[coarse scroll]

its probably not helping tbh but do whatever is fun for you ofc, its a game after all

[dusky fiber]

Play less risky, dont overcommit, try rotating more around the small pads, try to look at yourself more then teammates

[last flare]

I wouldn't call that "mechanics" though. From my pov when someone says "I'm mechanical and is x rank" i expect them to have insane car/ball control for that rank and can actually use them efficiently to score or make a play

So air dribbles off the wall aren't really "mechanics" for gc1/2

It's the bare minimum. Nobody is gonna see someone do an air dribble in 1600+ and say oh wow this guy is mechanical

[dusky fiber]

If u solo q and u are „smurfing“ u should easy get higher, so go for it if it is like that

[coarse scroll]

oh yeah most definitely, but im confused how that relates to what I was saying. I just wanna learn like mechanics in general but idk if its a bad idea haha

[last flare]

It isn't

[dusky fiber]

I feel like air dribbles are overrated in gc+ anway, just for defensive purposes, dribbling of backboard etc can be nice but on offense its not very useful

[coarse scroll]

never bothered to give freeplay a try but people keep suggesting it so i might give it a try

[last flare]

👍

[dusky fiber]

Short term yes, but u improve way more in solo q, so try that, helps in long term

[coarse scroll]

what offensive mechanics should i be learning instead?

[last flare]

You have to know how to air dribble. Air dribbling opens up many options and mechanics to you. Mainly single resets or even a good 50 in the air near their net

Air dribbles are used everywhere in high rated lobbies. Not sure what he's talking about

[dusky fiber]

The thing is this always depends where the opponent is, if u have a bit more time i would recommend flip resets or ceiling shots cause u have that extra flip u can use when someone challenges, if someone chases to u for instance immediately jumping then the tm8 is prob in goal or some, then i would boom the ball above the net and ho for a double tap

[dusky fiber]

As i said, in general yes, but not for offensive purposes where u are a threat or some to the opponents

[last flare]

The idea of them having to send one defender to you in the air and he might fail to get to you and be out of the play is incredibly dangerous

[coarse scroll]

oh so I should like learn ceiling shots, air dribbles and flip resets? Would I be like bottlenecking my skill if I don't learn them?

[last flare]

Yeah, single resets are important, more than 1 is kind of an overkill and would be barely used

[versed nacelle]

Idk if i should post in support or someone can help me here. Recently got my pc. Everytime i start a game i ping at 500 for like 30 seconds. Ive tried everything google has to offer anyone else deal with this?

[dusky fiber]

Usually in higher lobbys air dribbles are easy to defend from 1 player alone, things like ceiling shots or flip resets work good as u can completely take out 1 Person with that flick

[coarse scroll]

is there any other major skills I should learn to get out of GC1?

[dusky fiber]

Yh do that, can also recommend double taps, as if someone chases it can be effective booming it above the goal while being able to follow up

[dusky fiber]

Mech wise? Or rotating etc wise?

[coarse scroll]

preferably both if thats okay

[last flare]

Recoveries/reads etc. Honestly it's not just a "do one thing and you are out of it" those mechanics are pretty much useless if you have no brain

In #looking-for-group

[coarse scroll]

oh yeah ofc but yeah im pretty sure my gamesense is good enough to get out of GC1 like im GC1 in 1s too but I just struggle to score on several defenders tbh, which im guessing is because I dont know how to attack besides dribbling

[last flare]

What mmr in 2s are you

If it's low gc1 then you have a long way

Gc2 is 1576

[coarse scroll]

rn about 1450 after reset was like 1540 before

im aiming for gc2 end of season not like rn haha

[livid jasper]

it would help to learn some aerial mechanics

[coarse scroll]

yeah its probably worth learning from what others are saying

damn escredit is cooking up a four course meal with that response 😭

[livid jasper]

although they aren't something that you would use very often, they are still quite useful when the time comes

[livid jasper]

broo 😭

[coarse scroll]

he def knows what hes talking about tho tbf

[coarse scroll]

alright yeah fair enough

[livid jasper]

you say you have trouble getting past multiple defenders, correct?

[dusky fiber]

If u get the basics of most mechs u are good to go, gameplay wise there is a lot, one crucial thing is leaving your mate alone, this can be through overcomitting, messing up in offense, etc. Cause usually in higher elo 1 will bump and the other one will score without leaving your mate much chance, dont overcomit in corners, just jump 1 time there and focus more on the landing, rotate more around the smaller pads, in general looking around is key, cause it makes your decision making way easier, if u see your mate going back u challange, if u see him facing forward u rotate, same with opponents, the more u can quickly look the easy decisions get, u prob do that but look at yourself and see what u can do to win games dont blame mates, this way u can win some of those game, playing unpredictable can also be good but u need to be careful with that cause your tm8 is effected too, many other things aswell @coarse scroll

[dusky fiber]

Not that speedy writing on my phone lol

[coarse scroll]

oh wow tysm this is like exactly what i needed haha

no worries lmao this is incredibly helpful ❤️

[coarse scroll]

yeah thats correct

[dusky fiber]

We can also hop in a replay at one point, not now, and i can have a look at individual stuff

[livid jasper]

if done properly, bounce dribbles can be more unstoppable than an air dribble bump

but that would take a fair amount of ground control to get that good at it

[coarse scroll]

I'm away rn but would it be possible for me to send a replay through in the future for analysis?

[last flare]

You are constantly complaining about your tm8s

I think it's a you problem

[dusky fiber]

Sure, send 1-2 and lets hop in a call when we both find the time

[livid jasper]

but i would say that it's certainly easier to learn when compared to stuff like resets and has more uses in a real match

[coarse scroll]

tysm 🙂

ill send one through next time i play

[last flare]

It looked like you were complaining with "where do i find a good tm8"

[dusky fiber]

No stress dw

[coarse scroll]

if you are struggling to get out of a rank while solo queueing over a significant amount of games then its not ur tm8s

[livid jasper]

or just watch lethamyr's road to ssl series

[livid jasper]

his game sense applications are insane

#looking-for-group ?

[coarse scroll]

i mean i think my aerial car control is okay like I can do like ice rings with single digit deaths every time so i dont think its bad or anything, i just havent dedicated any time to learning a particular mechanic besides flicks

how hard are resets?

what would a 45 flick be on that scale for reference 😅

[livid jasper]

depends. what's the hardest aerial mechanic you would say that you could do consistently?

[last flare]

Did this increase after f2p update?

[coarse scroll]

double taps probably?

[last flare]

One reset is very easy

[livid jasper]

then it would take a decent amount of practice to get it consistently enough to use it in a match. around 40 hours or so

[last flare]

Don't overthink it you probably have the control to do it you just didn't actually try to learn it

[livid jasper]

^

[coarse scroll]

oh srsly

ah okay yeah idk why i never bothered to try resets then i can like breezi just fine in-game

[dusky fiber]

Yh the mech in general is easy but to set it up and use it correctly in game is hard

[rustic gull]

If anyone here wants tips on basic mechanics i can come to a private match with you and help just be eu or close and have a mic

[dusky fiber]

All about the set up, once u can do the reset u can do it everytime, not with the breezi especially in game

[rustic gull]

Biggest mistake people do is boost at the wrong times

[dusky fiber]

U fly more aggressively forward the ball and turn at the end so u kinda fly into the ball, with air dribble u take your time and try get under the ball, if u try getting the reset while letting the ball fly on your car its waay harder

[livid jasper]

resets take way more practice than a breezi

[dusky fiber]

Mech wise, not using it in game wise i would say

[last flare]

You are d3 and can consistently air dribble?

[rustic gull]

Facts i hate when you tryna give advice and the plat 3 says they can flip reset consistantly

Last season c1 is like d1 this season

[livid jasper]

and it depends on your pre existing aerial car control

[rustic gull]

D3 and c2 are the same rank

[coarse scroll]

c1d4 = c1d1 this season after reset

[dusky fiber]

Fly dieectly to the ball and turn at the end, if u can fly u should be able to set it up yourself

[rustic gull]

No lol

The opponents and skill level is the same

You just not good enough to win in d3

Bro’s still arguing lol

[livid jasper]

i asked appjack the same question on stream once. the only thing he said was "unless you've practiced resets for a 100 hours, the only answer to your question would be practice."

[rustic gull]

Stop with the excuses man

[coarse scroll]

wait i just tried to reset on my school laptop rn and its way easier than I thought I wasted so much time 😭

[dusky fiber]

😂

[livid jasper]

just gotta be confident in your skills

[rustic gull]

It doesn’t matter where you are in the d3-c2 range its the same skill level

[livid jasper]

🤓 ☝🏼 /j

[rustic gull]

People suck in d3-c2

Just wait till they mess up and fake challenge

[livid jasper]

ayo??

[rustic gull]

1’s is a whole different gamemode

[last flare]

Stop going for your consistent air dribble because chances are you aren't consistent and probably dribbling to their corner wasting boost and isolating yourself from the play

[rustic gull]

Facts

Until you can push the ball sideways in the air and control exactly where its going dont go for it in game

Then you just dont control enough to air dribble

[coarse scroll]

i mean im def not most qualified person to speak here but like i dont think u need air dribbles to get out of diamond

[rustic gull]

You can air dribble from any bouncing ball or wall roll

Rings

[last flare]

Not having the proper setup in diamond is an indicator that you aren't ready yet

[rustic gull]

Also you dont need a ”proper setup” if you know what to do with the ball

[last flare]

How about you learn shooting, dribbling and flicking instead?

[rustic gull]

You dont need a perfect 45° wall roll to air dribble

[rustic gull]

Also rotsting

A trick that works so well in comp is to pretend you going off wall and when they rush thowards the wall to block just dribble it middle

💀

Shiro you can get ssl with only shooting rotation flicks and dribble

I dont think you’re that consistand in d3

When you cant do anything to the ball gtfo

Or if your teammate can take the ball gtfo

[last flare]

TRUE! after s9 i made the decision to change to air roll left from only normal air roll and as i expected i went down to 1600-1700 to only peak 1800 since i switched and all of it because i was trying to setup air plays way too often. I finally made up my mind to go back to normal only after realising it's probably too late for me to switch

[rustic gull]

Its impossible to coach this dude

Listen to us dude

Stop saying you can do shit you clearly cant do

[last flare]

I was surprised how air plays are way easier on air roll left and started to only do these type of plays and forgetting to actually play the game. Not sure why i couldn't go back to my normal playstyle with extra mechanics but all i concluded is i was trying to execute mechanics that had less chances of working just because i felt like i was being "mechy"

[coarse scroll]

this is basically "how do i rank up but im doing everything right btw" 😭

[rustic gull]

Exactly

Literally just admit you dont know how to do the stuff we tell you

There’s a reason you’re in diamond

[last flare]

Long story short, be more aware of your tm8s and use them don't try to solo just because you think you are better. And learn the very basic mechanics like shooting recoveries flicks dribbles

Stop being cocky

You aren't that special in your rank

[coarse scroll]

i dont think a 1v1 will indicate whats wrong with ur 2s gameplay a replay would probably help more

🤦

[rustic gull]

Also pass the ball people in casual dont understand how to backpass or otherwise pass when they cant do much anymore

[last flare]

This guy is trolling

[rustic gull]

”should i learn quad flip reset breezis in silver”

[coarse scroll]

stop learning random mechanics learn to rotate first pleaseee

[rustic gull]

The reason we’re mean is because otherwise you just wont listen lmao

Focuse on the ”gold” stuff

Danny what rank are you

[coarse scroll]

do u want us to tell you to go to school or something 💀

ik im just messing around with u

get some A+ grades fr

college degree > ssl rank

true a college degree doesnt let u get cool rokt leeg clips

nooo u gotta get those grades up

u dont wanna work in maccas forever smh

fair enough lmao

[void pagoda]

anyone know what mechanics I should be working on I'm silver 1 xbox

When should I start working on them

that's far away

[coarse scroll]

I don't want ur help anymore g u was pretending to be SSL

I mean sure

what did he say

?

yeah he blocked me and told me to go f myself 💀

idk why he got so mad about it I don't think I was rude about it just pointed out that he wasnt SSL 😭

idrc hopefully he's alright I didn't mean to upset him ofc regardless

can people see your messages on discord if they blocked u?

@lilac whale if u still there homie mb

😭

nvm I'm not sorry anymore wtf are u writing

come on man I'm not being unreasonable I just mentioned that you were lying. I literally offered an apology regardless and you're still being unreasonable. Grow up, seriously.

haha 🤣

How to hit high SSL from a C2 with 4k hours 💀

💀💀

[coarse scroll]

nah this message was so embarrassing like how did he think people gonna believe he's SSL looking for a C2 teammate 💀

wait Danny ur an actual coach right

[hollow mauve]

how do u join games in looking to play?

[coarse scroll]

what should I do to like get out of gc1

ik it's kinda vague but generally ig

[coarse scroll]

message the user

it's fine honestly it's better than nothing

I'm pretty new to this rank so you'll be more familiar with it regardless

[hollow mauve]

ty ^^

[coarse scroll]

ty homie ♥️

haha no worries it definitely helps give me a rough idea of what I should work on

gl to ur rank up grind too ofc

haha yeah I'm a solo queuer too, I kinda like having different teammates though cause it makes each game feel fresh (or at least to me ig)

ik it's kinda a random question but did u like the S11 2s rank adjustment or nah

oh damn u got scammed then 😭

yikess

yeah it was a mess at first especially cause they didnt say anything so i thought i just fell off haha

it kinda sucked but i feel like it was probably fair cause GC in 2s was kinda getting a bit easy

it felt weird though seeing my old GC replays and then being in like high C2 while playing better initially 😭

how long did it take u to climb back to ur original rank

wait which season was ur peak then?

oh wow

when did u start playing RL then?

oh wow yeah

were u gc in any legacy seasons?

was the game like quite different before f2p?

please tell me about it haha

yeah theres a weird obsession with mechs now at lower ranks it seems like

i always see people in like streamers chats saying "im gold and can flip reset is that good"

FR like there's nobody going for the ball like just wait for it to come down 😭

LMAO thats actually a great analogy im stealing that haha

hahaha

do u play irl football much?

[shy wyvern]

power slide or no powerslide on resets?

[sacred canopy]

Can some1 coach me today im plat 2 Europe

[shy wyvern]

asking cause sometimes i find that if i dont use powerslide i get knocked back off the ball a bit too much

[coarse scroll]

position?

[shy wyvern]

im talking about multiple resets, not the first one

[coarse scroll]

💀💀💀

[shy wyvern]

damn

sorry for trying to have some fun with mechs ig LMAO

don't look down on ppl just cause it's not your thing maybe

just a thought

ah the fabled willful ignorance hat

[plucky night]

yo

[clear pollen]

why does it feel like my team mates are bots in 2s they dont boost they dont do nothing they play like npcs

😭

[plucky night]

hi does someone have tips for me to get out of plat

[winged scaffold]

ok but an actual mode (1s 2s or 3s)

i hate having to be smart and mechanics are fun

[plucky night]

hi does someone have tips for me to get out of plat

[winged scaffold]

be smart

ive found the best way to not drop down to p3 again for me is to get soft touches when they send the ball hurling towards the corner or its coming down like an airstrike

then you can start dribbling it (ground too) to go for a shot or a 50

[plucky night]

ok

thanks

[winged scaffold]

np

just make sure you dont give the ball the the enemy for free, basically what i said and my last tip

[empty sand]

How am i doing that in the looking for group channel

[plucky night]

thanks a lot

[static basin]

bros a genius

[coarse scroll]

bro is einstein stuck in diamond fr

[cyan sage]

Why do i get such bad teammates in 2s

[coarse scroll]

you are making other mistakes too if you are at the same rank as them

[cyan sage]

nope

[coarse scroll]

i mean if you want to get all technical, when a game is created there are 4 players (you and three others). The players will be assigned so that there will be a team of you and 1 other, and 2 on the other team. If a bad player is in the lobby, and you aren't the bad player, then there is twice the chance they are an opponent rather than a teammate. Consequenctly, over any meaningful amount of games you should rank up, unless you are also the bad teammate in 1 out of 4 games

[cyan sage]

when i play 1s i play much better and i win so there is no way im the problem

[coarse scroll]

1s is completely different from 2s. I'm GC1 in both 1s and 2s, which is top ~0.1% in 1s vs top 1% in 2s. But that doesn't make me better than my teammates at all. You might be more mechanically skilled or better at defending, but skill goes beyond that. Good positioning, rotations and teamplay are important skills which arent present in 1s

[cyan sage]

i guarantee you its the teammates man

they just dont know how to play

and because of it im lower than i should be in 2s

[coarse scroll]

i mean yeah you can blame teammates over a small timeframe, sometimes u just get bad teammates. But if you are stuck in a rank for like a month then it isn't just teammates. You are at fault too

[normal forge]

surest sign of any player being delusional in any multiplayer game is them saying they make absolutely no mistakes. Ask a pro in any game for what they did wrong in a game and 9 out of 10 times they'll have multiple things to point out.

You can't control teammates you can control yourself, focus on that or stay stuck, that simple tbh

Short term you can just have the worst player on your team a few times in a row sure, it happens. Play more and it'll be on the other team, it balances out.

[cyan sage]

im just disappointed to be in a rank which is worse than my skill

solo queue is killing my soul basically

[sterile kettle]

looking to coach someone NA for 1 week to see how high i can help them get. dm me if you are NA, and below d1

and it is COMPLETELY FREE

[cyan sage]

opps xD

[hasty escarp]

i didnt drop i just finished my 10 games right now and if u were c2 that doesnt mean u have to get c2 in just 10 games

if ur ssl

u dont get ssl

ur prob gonna get gc2

and grind until ssl

and ive been gc before but ive quit rl long time ago and now im back at it

but now new gens are taking over rocket league 💀

???

i aint its just the truth

u said u was plat right?

and im more like a mechanic guy

i dont really stress about rl

[hallow python]

Why when I hold a directional air roll such as right does my car gravitate to that side, instead of going straight while spinning it starts slowly moving to the side im air rolling

[hasty escarp]

depends if ur air rolling or tornade spinning

[hallow python]

im just normal air rolling

[hasty escarp]

wym

not rlly u will be way down with the mmr to get c2 again

maybe u can get c1

but c2 nah

[coarse scroll]

You only lose ~120MMR in C2 just win like all 10 placements smh

[hasty escarp]

idk ive won 9/10 my games and d3

wait wut rank r u?

[hallow python]

Can anyone help me with directional air roll

[hasty escarp]

start using tornado spins

its more helpful

[hallow python]

How do I control where my car is going when I tornado spin cuz im holding the joystick to the side

[coarse scroll]

what div were u last season

[hasty escarp]

1

[coarse scroll]

u should be around 1102 MMR after reset

if u below that u have like fell off slightly if that makes sense

which is c1d2

wait mb it's actually 1093/c1d1

[hasty escarp]

im 1020

[coarse scroll]

1020 = 1120 (C1D2) end of S11 so ur like a bit below where u were then

[hasty escarp]

im d3 rn

trying to get gc where i was once

[fast gate]

depends on where you use them

they can be a little over used but for things like coming off the wall there good

if you jump then wave dash off the wall they do

also you can wave dash onto the wall

but if your wave dashing mid field you might as well just flip

[sharp karma]

im finally plat 3 in 1s.

🙂

[cyan sage]

C2 in 1s is equivalent of gc2 in 2s

[verbal harbor]

yeah that's what I thought

[hasty escarp]

sure ill see

eu

[verbal harbor]

so if my teammate is a bit slow, how do I compensate for every 50 he will lose and whiff?

[hasty escarp]

tell me when uready

[cyan sage]

You cant really 2v1 games too many times so if it bothers you too much then dont soloqueue

[verbal harbor]

not every time, just the ones where my teammtae seems a bit out of rank

[signal lintel]

Remind yourself to play based on what you expect them to actually do, not what you want them to do or what they should do

[cyan sage]

Sometimes it does happen but you can still rank up by winning other games if your tm8s throw too hard for you to win those games

[signal lintel]

And don't stop solo queuing lmao that's not a solution

[verbal harbor]

not like throwing, more like, they are just not ready for that rank

[cyan sage]

If every random teammate "throws" and they get mad every time they should just find a teammate who they know is actually good for them

[verbal harbor]

wqhere are you getting all of this?

[signal lintel]

That's not how the game works

[cyan sage]

you say that like its easy

[signal lintel]

No

[cyan sage]

Im just saying that if every random teammate "makes you lose" then you should not soloqueue, not specifically your case

[verbal harbor]

ok let's redo the question

so if my teammate is a bit slow, how do I compensate for every 50 he will lose and whiff?

[cyan sage]

adapt to their playstyle, if not possible you will lose that game

[verbal harbor]

alright, this is as helpful as "just get rich". How?

[signal lintel]

Less risky, less commitment, try to force a low-scoring game

[cyan sage]

You play passive mostly

I know many people will disagree with me but your real rank is your 1s rank the rest is just smoke and mirrors

[cyan sage]

Not really because 2s and 3s need teamwork but its not very wrong

[signal lintel]

I'd agree if 1s was similarly popular compared to 2s

1s rank isn't affected by teammates so that's good, but also doesn't represent team play skills

[verbal harbor]

1s is oyur mechanical rank, 3s is your teamwork rank, 2s is your mental rank

[gilded oracle]

fr i be saucing up passes call me a passtronaut

[signal lintel]

That's definitely not right lol

[gilded oracle]

i need to work on ones 😦

[mortal quail]

1s is probably the least mechanically inclined gamemode

[gilded oracle]

no way

[mortal quail]

If you said individual skill it would be right

[cyan sage]

I don't like 1s because it heavily involves kickoffs and I'm really bad at kickoffs

[gilded oracle]

speed flip=mechanic=bam

[cyan sage]

Its just a 50/50 at the middle of the field

[gilded oracle]

yeah i feel that

use batmobile maybe?

[signal lintel]

Me before I learned how to challenge

[mortal quail]

Using batmobile is creature

[cyan sage]

I'm pretty sure I know how to but i don't like kickoffs

[signal lintel]

If ur diamond or higher in 1s, pay attention to opponent on kickoffs, see which way they're going

[cyan sage]

I'm usually d3 or c1 in 1s

[signal lintel]

Then yeah you just need to think about strategy, the rest is just practice/experience

[livid jasper]

Any tips for making the push to gc 2?

[cyan sage]

in 1s?

the irony

but it is actually true, you get punished in 1s for shits you would go for in 2s or 3s where your teammates can cover for you

[quartz portal]

Nice well explaind I'm trying that

[astral sable]

No shit its such a unique game

No like literally the mechanics are unique

Its not like a move your joystick and shoot the enemies fps or just a fifa game

You literally control every joint of the character

Can you all touch the first shot in this training pack? 8640-A20C-557C-F727
I just want to know it's possible although a clip/video would be helpful. It requires a perfect fast aerial.

[dim arch]

*** Im Champion 1***

Im Looking for some tips! must be gc1+

[vale harbor]

what kinda tips are you looking for? mechs or gamesense?

[dim arch]

both kinda

[short zephyr]

Im silver 2
Can anyone help me get better?

[vale harbor]

play more, focus on simple mechanics and getting consistent

[vale harbor]

you on pc?

[dim arch]

yh

[short zephyr]

I mean like cam settings maybe

And training packs that can help me

[vale harbor]

probs just youtube it but as a rough guide anything between these is common
FOV:110 Distance: 260-290 Height: 90-110 Angle: -3 - -5 the rest is preference
and camera shake OFF

[vale harbor]

7EE0-F697-7453-7123 - kickoffs (worth putting a lil time into every now and then, after all it'll happen every game so get good at em)
ECD2-B77C-A5A0-BACD - air roll shots (just try score them if air rolling is too hard, try hit the shots with corner of car for max power)
5CCE-FB29-7B05-A0B1 - practice saving these shots to the corners (saves outfield are just passes to opponent a lot of the time)
other than that in freeplay practice hitting the ball hard and accurately, simple dribbles/pops

[versed orbit]

anyone got tips for a low plat 1's player and some good things to train while not in games

[thorn lodge]

consistent dribbles and forward flicks

[versed orbit]

ok

thanks

[thorn lodge]

np

[cinder shuttle]

im looking for some1 to train me

silver 3 as of now but i used to be plat 1

i just lost a lot of skill after taking a year break

i cant get past s3

idk y

i need to get back my skill at air dribbles because i used to be really mechanical

i switched from nintendo to pc but all that muscle memory got lost

holdup dm me

[worthy lava]

U switched to kbm or still controller?

[worthy lava]

Ur plat 1 mate

Aint no mechanical plat

[cinder shuttle]

i used to be nintendo then to kbm

[livid jasper]

same

[cinder shuttle]

i used to hit a binch of flicks and resets so idk if i can consider that mechanical

i used to be plat js looking to get back my skill

[near jackal]

anyone help me. ia m srtuck for a year in dia but i have 1 good day en 4 that i am trash aplat would even look good . i play training every day in custom trainings. but i keep missing balls having a badd position or being to late on the ball. nothing works

[cinder shuttle]

@worthy lava tryna help? im na-East

[vale harbor]

if you're consistently that bad after a year have you considered it may be input delay or a similar issue?

[cinder shuttle]

Any1 can coach me Na - east and silver 3

[vale harbor]

mechs or gamesense?

[cinder shuttle]

mechs

[worthy lava]

If u can get urself a controller

[cinder shuttle]

i lost all my old skill

[cinder shuttle]

my controller gives problems

besides i wanna get better on kbm

[worthy lava]

Well let's put the argument if ur mechanical or not aside,
U gotta learn the muscle memory again

[cinder shuttle]

yea but that was on nintendo

[worthy lava]

The only thing staying with u is ur gamesense

[cinder shuttle]

yea

[vale harbor]

you probs just need to play more and build muscle memory, until youve got decent control of you car, trying to learn specific things is a bit pointless. work on dribbles/flicks as a start as thatll give you the basic car control needed to go onto more advanced stuff

[worthy lava]

U could use workshop maps like rings or lethamyrs dribble maps for ur car control

[cinder shuttle]

AIGHT

caps

[merry hazel]

Are there any coaches willing to do recorded replay analysis/live coaching for a c2-c3 3s team? (Please dm me)

[cinder shuttle]

ima practice better control of my car t hen air dribbles or flicks?? basically?

[worthy lava]

I could get yall to diamond if ur intrested

[worthy lava]

Car control is more important than ball control

[cinder shuttle]

yea

[merry hazel]

Champion 2-3

[worthy lava]

I did not stutter

[merry hazel]

Oh lmao

[elder sentinel]

Lmao

[vale harbor]

start with grounded mechs, you dont need aerials stuff until champ and even then it isnt required. dribbles, flicks, bounce dribbles, hitting the ball hard

[merry hazel]

Sure if you want

[worthy lava]

Im c1 myself lol

[merry hazel]

Nice

[worthy lava]

Its not required but its no fun not being able to aerial

He can just work on getting a touch in the air

Airdribbles later

[vale harbor]

depends what you enjoy but by your logic everyone should just learn resets straight away as they're fun. im just giving advice purely on how to improve the quickest (from my experience) you can listen to all of it or none of it or the better option, take bits and add in stuff you enjoy

[cinder shuttle]

is using air roll nescessary??

[worthy lava]

Not in plat

[vale harbor]

free air roll, yes. directional air roll, no but it will give you more control later on

[cinder shuttle]

ok

[worthy lava]

Yeah fair enough, tho it will help him defend a bit

[cinder shuttle]

how do i get costum maps?

im using bakkesmod

[worthy lava]

U on epic ?

[cinder shuttle]

mhm

[worthy lava]

There is a plugin

[vale harbor]

thats a good point tbf, shadow defence requires some ability to jump and hit the ball at at least top of the net height

[worthy lava]

Plugin called uh workshop maps loader by vsync i think

Some form of airroll is necessary later on

Free or direction

[cyan sage]

can someone who is ssl help me rank up these teammates are kinda bad

[vale harbor]

i didnt say anything about gamesense, i was saying start learning the easier mechs to give you car control then go on to learn harder stuff. i completely agree mechs are the way to improve

[worthy lava]

What's ur ranj

[cinder shuttle]

@worthy lava i dm u a pic is it that?

[vale harbor]

what rank are you

sure

[worthy lava]

Bro is NOT 2100

Actually mabye never seen him plah

Cant judge from a discord msg

[cyan sage]

press x to doubt

[worthy lava]

If u use 2 directional u dont need free

I know some people who use both direction with no free

But both

[cinder shuttle]

rocket js crashed after i used the plugin

[vale harbor]

bit padantic but fair, free air roll is neccessary (unless you have both air roll bound) happy now

90%+ of players do not use 2 direction air rolls

[worthy lava]

Some form of airroll is necessary thats what nebz is saying

[worthy lava]

Its actually hard to learn both

I can do left and trying to learn right atm

[mortal quail]

He is in fact 2k+

[worthy lava]

.

Wait u play in crl no?

I think i follow u on twitter

[vale harbor]

having 1 directional air roll over one directinoal air roll as well as free air roll will put you at a disadvantage

[mortal quail]

What

[worthy lava]

They talking about whether free airroll is necessary or not

[mortal quail]

There should be a requirement to give advice

[mortal quail]

Clarify this

Because it's incredibly wrong

[worthy lava]

The channel would probably be dead

[mortal quail]

Unless I'm misreading

[vale harbor]

bruh how, some shots are only scorable with air roll shots, so if you have air roll right bound and need to air roll left to flip into the ball, you cant

[mortal quail]

Free air roll can air roll left

[south dock]

🍿

[worthy lava]

So ur shooting is the same with 0 airroll?

[vale harbor]

yes im saying both is better @orchid rock is saying you're fine with just 1 direction bound and no free air roll

.

[worthy lava]

Master? But u will need it binded?

[vale harbor]

correct, but if you have only one of them, you need free air roll too

[mortal quail]

If your gonna air roll, either have both directionals or 1 directional and free air roll.
There really isn't a point in having a singular one

[icy condor]

Me who has all bound :(

[mortal quail]

See all bound is wild, but it works

[vale harbor]

thats what ive been saying 😭

[worthy lava]

Im thinking of removing my free airroll and replacing it with my right airroll

[mortal quail]

Sounds like a misunderstanding to me

[worthy lava]

I never use free airroll tbh

[icy condor]

I barely use my free airroll tbh, it's on brake for me

it's just useful for speedflips

[south dock]

bruh

that's how the story ends?

[worthy lava]

I use direction for speed flips

[mortal quail]

Yup

[south dock]

unsatisfying

[mortal quail]

Free air roll isn't nesssary, but neither is directional

[worthy lava]

Im in no position to talk im stuck c1 😭

[vale harbor]

i was simplifying for 99% of the player base who do not use both so mb

[mortal quail]

Problem solved

[worthy lava]

Does anyone know what mmr is c2

[vale harbor]

like 1200?

[south dock]

3000

[mortal quail]

99% of the playerbase doesn't have time to learn 2 air rolls

[worthy lava]

Damn

[south dock]

ye good luck

[worthy lava]

Im at 1130

[south dock]

same im at around 112

[worthy lava]

Wow thank u

[vale harbor]

which make my point more valid, it was helping some kid who just came from switch to pc and asked if he needed air roll

[south dock]

sad.. i wanted more lore

[mortal quail]

You have to check either at night for NA or early early morning when all the EU players are up

[south dock]

this server has died out. all the fun people are gone

[mortal quail]

They just get perma banned

[south dock]

at night barely anyone talks

well yeah since you seem to just argue with people

[vale harbor]

feel like this server went downhill when they changed the lfg system but maybe just me

[mortal quail]

Not wrong

[south dock]

changed when they introduced msq

i never used lfg, i think only once to help someone else find people

is it really that bad now?

[mortal quail]

Ye

[vale harbor]

i used it to find 1v1's and now you cant do that really so

[south dock]

oh true wth

petition to revert

[vale harbor]

i'd sign

plus you cant laugh at all the "lf plat 2 teammate, have mechanics and be able to rotate, dont be trash" posts

[south dock]

i wonder why they changed it, i wasn't here when they did

my only guess was the amount of "ssl" bots

[leaden glade]

Does anyone know how to get stall bind for epic games ?

[warped heart]

Hii, I'm having trouble with tournament's matchmaking. I can't join with my friend in the 3v3 and we are nearly the same rank in 2v2 and in tournament's rank we are the same rank. It keeps saying that we can't join because of rank difference. Why is this?

[versed topaz]

I have no clue

[warped heart]

Does this happen to you as well? Or is it just me?

[south dock]

people who reply like this trigger me fr

[south dock]

are you 100% sure you and your friend have a similar tourney rank?

[warped heart]

Ye he is plat as me. No clue why we can't join together

[south dock]

go away

[warped heart]

What

[south dock]

LOL

[mortal quail]

It was to reduce boosting/carry services

[mortal quail]

3s rank

[south dock]

oh true

[warped heart]

Do we have to rank in 3v3?

We r unranked on that queue

[south dock]

wut are your ranks last season

[mortal quail]

Thats probably why, depends on mmr

[south dock]

you can bypass it if you get a 3rd tho

[mortal quail]

Yes

[warped heart]

Diamond 1

[south dock]

what was your friend's 3s rank

[warped heart]

We are only 2, so we don't really play 3v3 rankeds. We end up being unranked last season. And we haven't touched it yet this one

[mortal quail]

Its probably because it's unranked

Get a 3rd or queue ranked 3s lol

[warped heart]

Ok we shall try that lmao

Sounds logic

[sharp karma]

that dude just got skill issues and needs to smurf in low rank turneys.

[warped heart]

It sounds fun to do

ah gotcha

lol

im only doing threes causes im on the esports team

sure

[native coral]

Anyone using free air roll to help me with musties????

[lusty galleon]

what does this mean

air roll and mustys are 2 different things

[native coral]

Yea

[lusty galleon]

how are the 2 connected

[native coral]

I just use free air roll and directional is easier to musty

[lusty galleon]

there is no air roll in a musty

[native coral]

I mean after a reset etc

[lusty galleon]

yea

[native coral]

I can musty on ground decently it’s not that what I mean

[lusty galleon]

do you mean getting the correct spacing behind the ball?

[native coral]

Yes

[lusty galleon]

do you spin around backwards or just tilt down

[native coral]

Could we hop on a private match would be easier

[lusty galleon]

ok

[tawdry cloak]

you can use boost to adjust also

you see this often in Breezis

boost in the right moment to get the car faster down and behind the ball

and then just do a musty

the crucial part is as always timing

boost too early and u fly upwards

[void pagoda]

am I supposed to not challenge first im bronze

[tawdry cloak]

depends on many factors

if you are last man its easier to secure the goal line

if you go challenge and be beaten its an open net for example in such scenario

higher skilled players might also only wait until you challenge to cut you

[cyan sage]

[cyan sage]

[proud fiber]

someone help me

im hardstuck plat 3 peaked d2 looking for coach i dont know what keeps me in this rank pls help :(

im looking for someone atleast like champ to help me someone who knows there stuff

can somone like watch me play and tell me whats wrong

[low rain]

at plat 3 find a mechanic you enjoy and practice it. you can almost improve anything at that rank and get higher.
namely a few would be getting proper power on the ball and try to make sure your hits don't go somewhere an opponent can immediatly score it,
and improving recoveries to be able to play faster is always a important skill to improve

[proud fiber]

if u talking to me then im already a fast player i can recover i cant not SUPER consistant at airdribbling but i can with airroll and im even better without

[low rain]

im around 1700 and i don't airdribble often at all. you don't need crazy mechanics to get higher like air dribbling.
power on hits and fast recoveries will get you champ+ proper rotations to boot will get you almost to GC

but i can guarantee you aren't fast if you are plat sorry. its something even i still work on being better at. recoveries and just general movement around the field is an ever advancing skill especially with chain dashes/wall dashes...etc

[proud fiber]

can u watch my gameplay and tell me what im doing wrong

i wall dash aswell and i can zap dash sometimes

not very well though the timing is hard with my camera settings

[low rain]

if you wanna send me a replay i can go through it quickly. but again, at plat its a laundry list of things lol.

[proud fiber]

i cant send replays i dont got discord nitro

[cyan sage]

bro its 2kb

[proud fiber]

how do u donwload

[low rain]

But there's another "Rocket League" folder, where you can find logs, configuration, your save and your demos!

This folder is located at "Documents\my games\Rocket League\TAGame\Demos" for W8 & 8.1 and it seems it is "Librairies\Documents\my games\Rocket League\TAGame\Demos" for W7 (I put relative links, you might changed the default location of the documents, like me 😄 ; Don't know really for W7 as I don't have it right now).

[mortal quail]

thats why youve had 20+ accounts banned

[cyan sage]

i've never met an ssl that plays extra modes unironically

[cyan sage]

i have 0?

thats why your acc has been banned twice

[mortal quail]

zero? nah what

[proud fiber]

im plat 3 peak d2 can someone watch me play a match or two and tell me what im doing wrong?

[cyan sage]

@mortal quail can

[proud fiber]

@shadow spade wanna hop inna call ill mute up and share screen to show my gameplay so u can give me some tips

[coarse scroll]

idk if I'm high enough rank to coach but I can try 😭

[proud fiber]

sure

[cyan sage]

rank? can you coach me too

[coarse scroll]

GC1 if that's okay

[cyan sage]

yeah thats good

[coarse scroll]

do u want like tips and training resources kinda stuff or like replay analysis stuff

[cyan sage]

both

[coarse scroll]

alright sure DM me what things you want to work on or a replay video/file (can't analyse replay until a few hours time though)

[cyan sage]

when do you think you'll be avaliable

[coarse scroll]

I can send the tips now but I really don't know when I'll be able to do replay analysis, sometime within 24h but idk when exactly

[cyan sage]

unfortunate

[low rain]

-don't pass ball to opponents (learn how to clear properly)
-learn how to put proper power on the ball
-rotate far post at net
-don't cut rotatins upfield, if your in mid, and they get possession, you should probably rotate straight back, not attack it across the field a teamate is probably coming from a better position to do it
-work on recoveries
(if you are 99% of people C1+ but sub GC these are your problems)

if your C3 but can't get GC #3 and #4 are your problems more than likely (in my experience)

[cyan sage]

i do all of that

[low rain]

with an honorable mention for C3s who waste 100 boost on stupid and slow air dribble plays when they don't score most of them and recover horribly after

[cyan sage]

I do all of that and im plat

[low rain]

ya, but you do it slower

hence why you are plat

like the last person who just said they are plat and are fast... who after watching hte replay they flip like a baby learning to walk

[cyan sage]

no, i do it fast

[cyan sage]

its my tm8s

same

im right

[low rain]

blaming teamates doesn't matter. if you improve to a level where you are akin to a GC, you won't be plat. plain and simple lol

[cyan sage]

I am good enough to be gc

my tm8s are just that bad

and my opponents are almost always smurfs

[low rain]

shhhh

[cyan sage]

wym shh

its true

[cyan sage]

@mortal quail can coach you now

[coarse scroll]

can you explain 4 a bit more, I'm struggling to visualise what you mean. Do you mean like if the opponents start pushing the ball to the opposite side you shouldn't turn towards it but rather continue to rotate out?

[coarse scroll]

what did ero do 😭

[cyan sage]

he means if you push and miss or get a bad 50, dont rotate back through the play, rotate wide and let your teammate rotate in, same concept as rotate back post

[cyan sage]

be a discord mod

and be on genshin impact for 4 minutes

thats a bad combination @mortal quail, stay indoors

[coarse scroll]

he probably doesn't want to coach rn

[cyan sage]

Im still gonna send people to him

[coarse scroll]

he didn't mention anything about 50s or overcommitting or anything so I don't think that's what he's meaning

[cyan sage]

3 is "-rotate far post at net" yeah?

[coarse scroll]

oops sorry I messed up I meant 4 I can't count 💀

[cyan sage]

tbh idk, seems like kind of a shitty tip, slower player mentality, to only push when 100% safe to do so

[coarse scroll]

nah if I understand it right he's saying not to turn around and cut off your teammate if the opponent pushes it towards where your teammate is rotating through

[cyan sage]

yeah that makes sense

[coarse scroll]

also wdym slower player mentality what's wrong with playing slow 😭

[cyan sage]

basically dont overcommit

[cyan sage]

using your time and playing slow are two different things

if you're waiting till tm8 is behind you to push all the time, you're already playing too slow, you should be pushing when you know tm8 will be back in time to defend if you get a bad play, not when your tm8 is alr there

allows your teammate to keep their momentum more efficiently, and allows you to apply pressure

if you have time and the ball, go ahead and use it

another story if you're just slow and doing smth like shadowing when tm8 is behind you alr

just push, ball gets back to tm8

[coarse scroll]

waiting till your teammate is recovered is pretty standard though isn't it

like if you commit without your teammate behind you you just concede

[cyan sage]

Yes and no, but if you wait for them to fully get behind you before you push, it makes them more awkward and is honestly just slower, will prob start to stagnate at around mid gc1 if you do

ofc if you play a lot of 1s or are good at scoring, rotation speed doesnt really matter, just beat everyone and score

[coarse scroll]

idk it's not like speed is that important

like you want to slow down the play when out of possession

[lusty galleon]

the ssl i know does

he plays hoops

[drifting ember]

gameplay-tips

[midnight wedge]

any tips on how to do air mechanics better ??

Bc my movement on the ground is good but I can’t do anything in the air

[ebon aspen]

And ssl

[ebon aspen]

Keep grinding training packs, free play

Whats your rank?

[cyan sage]

[latent heron]

someone can help me kearn speedflip on kbm?

[broken flax]

someone help, im in plat 1 but everytime i play i have the worst possible luck and get absolutely horrible teamates. I can speed flip, half flip, i know how to rotate and i have good defence, how do i get out of plat?

[sage minnow]

score goals.

go up rank.

get diamond.

[broken flax]

i do

but every second game i get horrible teamates

[cyan sage]

Never blame your tm8

[gilded fable]

alwyas blame your team8

[cyan sage]

No

Adapting to teammates 101🔖 by Dogi

🟢 Basics:

🔹Aggressive teammate:
Usually you want to play as second man, support their plays and let them do whatever. You want to be the person who is "always" back to defend. Make sure that you only go for the ball when you teammate is behind you.

🔹Passive teammate:
In this case you will have to push up and make something happen, doesn't mean you have to chase the ball but you will be the one to attack most likely. This obviously requires a lot more mechanical skill.

The one thing you want to avoid is having 2 aggressive players on the field or 2 passive players.

🟢 Advanced:

🔹Picking up patterns in your teammates play style:
Basically if somebody does something twice in the same/similar situation you can safely assume that they will do it again. This can lead to faster decision making and maybe team plays.

🔹Activating strengths and filling in for weaknesses:
Just like you and everybody else your teammates can be good at 1 or 2 things and at suck at everything else. Your basic objectives would be to 1 become a more rounded player and to 2 active your teammates strengths. For example if they are really good at backboard reads then you could flick the ball up for them. Filling in for weaknesses is going to be a lot harder and that's why it's important to have a proper mix of game sense and mechanics and one way to do that is to play 1 vs 1.

🔸Getting a consistent teammate:
-Is going to be better in the short term because you don't have to worry about adapting to a new play style every game
-(If you end up ditching them) Is going to punish you because you probably won't have as much knowledge and experience with adapting to different play styles.

I would also suggest that you try to focus more on yourself. I know teammates will eventually piss you of in that case just take a quick break and resume the session later. Try to focus more on what you can do to make the match go better and what you can fix in yourself.
