[spice portal]

what would mainly differentiate a plat from a diamond, i know different types of players exist but im kinda just curious what i would need to change to get my rank up a bit basically

[lethal wren]

Less ballchase

[spice portal]

alright, so if i do chase the ball less cause im 100% sure im a ballchaser, i will definitely rank up but whats something else to practice on the side

like should i work on aerials or smth

something mechanically other than mentally

[supple lotus]

When you're playing look for reoccurring situations you mess up in, always be harsh with yourself if u want to improve. Look to see when u feel awkward or not in control; is it your positioning, lack of boost, not being mindful of other players, etc etc. Find something you can pinpoint in ur playing that you recognize needs work and happens a lot.

You will improve the fastest with self analysis and an objective (focusing on something)

[spice portal]

damn alr

thanks for the advice man that helps a lot

[supple lotus]

There's other ways to improve tho

that's just a general way to think if u want to improve strategically

[spice portal]

alr

idk man i feel like some games i play really well and the next game i suck

[supple lotus]

It's mental a lot of the time, and everyone feels like that sometimes even in the highest ranks

[spice portal]

yea tbh one thing is i overthink my teammtes a lot like most others

[supple lotus]

Every opponent is going to play differently and some obvious or not will make you hesitate or not think as clearly because of small things they do that only your instinct might even pick up on (which is why sometimes it just feels like you can't do anything even though the game before you were peaking)

[supple lotus]

yea that's fair honestly, especially in lower ranks your tm8s vary so much in strengths and weaknesses, every game is so vastly different from the one before.

[spice portal]

yea

[supple lotus]

Probably makes you a better player when u come out of it tho

[spice portal]

specifically trusting them too much or too little

yea for sure

[supple lotus]

trusting gets a bit better the higher rank you are for sure

[spice portal]

yea

[supple lotus]

but it's always a problem haha

again it's the worst in lower ranks, people messing up more and being so different it's hard to know what's going to happen

[spice portal]

yea

[supple lotus]

well anyways, it's really just up to putting in hours so you can get more comfortable in more situations and in general with your car. That doesn't mean there aren't ways to improve quicker so yea just try and focus on your weak points and you should see some solid improvements

GL

[spice portal]

yeah thats true

[still musk]

Can anybody teach mě how to be Better ať dirrectional airroll

I can't play until 2pm UK time

And i need to go to school in like 12 minutes

[supple lotus]

focus on something you can't do and work towards it till you can do it

if you can't stay in the air while using directional air roll just sit in training or a pm and keep practicing. Learning tornado spin is also very popular for learning directional air roll and there should be some videos about it on Youtube. Basically where you push your joystick to the opposite direction of whatever direction your directional air roll is going.

If you use air roll right, then you would hold your left joystick to the left at the same time and that's a tornado spin

Otherwise it's all about muscle memory and practice to know what direction your joystick needs to go based on where your car is. In general you should get used to it at the same level you had before in a couple weeks

[still musk]

Theres a problém that i can't steer to the right And to the left

[supple lotus]

so how do u turn

[still musk]

I use Down right to go left And idk the steer to the right

Is it up right?

On the left stick

[supple lotus]

does ur left joystick not work for left and rights?

[still musk]

It works but idk how to steer

Pls come in dms

[supple lotus]

joystick to the left = steer left
joystick to the right = steer right xd

[grizzled swift]

guys

can someone tell me how to get better at air dribbling

its so hard i keep losing track of the ball

[lethal wren]

stay more under the ball, and only boost to get closer to the ball

[grizzled swift]

That's it?

[lethal wren]

well yeah, also requires consistency in accuracy

[grizzled swift]

Alright, Thanks!

[lethal wren]

[patent flame]

i dont know if this is right chat but is it alright if some one coaches me?

[wicked steppe]

Anyone got any tips for getting out off plat

[mortal leaf]

rank?

[mortal leaf]

just play, you could learn air dribbling and get free goals but its unnecessary

[wicked steppe]

I can not really air dribbles

[mortal leaf]

thats why u learn it

[modest tusk]

Guys, not really looking for tips i just wanna ask a lil. Have you ever played with crazy dropshot mains? I somehow got into a party with a previous ssl and the playstyle was super weird. Like really slow and in a way drunk, but he obviously still hit everything

Never seen anything like it. I could see the crazy touches he does being perfect for dropshot, but the car movement was something else

[edgy flicker]

You don't need air dribbles just watch flakes 1v1 or 2v2 to ssl wo mechs

[modest tusk]

Like for example on kickoffs, if he does go, he just drifts off the position to wherever and still gets good touches

[edgy flicker]

That'll give you enough info to actually help you

[edgy flicker]

Also do some custom training packs for warmup. Eg ground shots or backboard reads

And practice simple mechanics like ball bouncing. Dribbling and flicking in free play

[wicked steppe]

OK what else

[edgy flicker]

That's all

Flakes. Custom training warmup (something useful like backboard reads or shadow defence). Simple free play mechanics training. And play more

Mainly flakes though. I went d1 to c1 in 1s with prolly like 100 hours playtime

Between the 2. Just cos I learnt a lot

[edgy flicker]

. Incase you didn't see

Some of Mustys old free play drill videos are still relevant

Watch that if you dunno what to do in freeplay

[wicked steppe]

OK thanks you

[lusty galleon]

practice shooting and saves only.
you cannot shoot into the net with good power consistently. you cannot save high shots consistently in backwards defense. fix these things and i assure you, you will not be plat

[wicked steppe]

OK

[meager gull]

no

u dont need a coach u just need to play

Yes

[dusky fiber]

Yh play the game at first, it’s important to get into the game and get a feeling for it, once u reach like gold-plat u can start focusing on simple things

[unique plaza]

What's the best Bakkesmod/custom training map for aerials in plat 3?

[modest tusk]

I personally like ultimate warmup but im sure whatever aerial map in the reccomend will help you

Just try to score every shot a few times, not just once

[unique plaza]

Is it a BakkesMod map?

[modest tusk]

No, training map, thats the name. Usually gets recommended, worst case ill give you the code

[burnt kestrel]

Hey, I need some rl pointers, I’m a gold 1 and I am not very good and I’m trying to find someone to help me by playing with me or just giving me good tips

[still musk]

JUST testing commands

Dms

[golden ivy]

do rings maps like speed jump rings 3 or lethamyr's rings. if u are on console try to fly from goal to goal or around the edges of the map

try to land in the top of the goal

[dawn ledge]

you only rly need a coach at like gc2 / 3

[cyan sage]

Hello

[tight ivy]

Hello someone directed me here I’m almost level 10 and want tips for when I play ranked

[cyan sage]

jst play

[dawn ledge]

wait for them to miss

[cyan sage]

• Score more goals

[dawn ledge]

idk peaked like 1700 smthn i dont rly play anymore

[golden ivy]

let your teammate go for the ball

[dawn ledge]

depends on the gamemode tbh

[golden ivy]

play 1s

[dawn ledge]

2s is quite simple tbf just shadow your tm8

try not to leave them in 2v1s

icl im the worst person for a coach its like i maxxed out my mechanics with no brain

[stray elk]

might be good advice but something i would never follow

[dawn ledge]

thats because less people play 1s

1s is the best way to improve

[grim plaza]

hey im new to rocket league I've recently started playing again (on controller) Idk if im good or not but ive won a couple of games someone out there willing to help?

[stray elk]

well up to practise 1v1's?

[dawn ledge]

c2 is decent

if youre missing balls n shit just focus 1s

if its decisions just watch pros

if youre not missing balls at gc1 then youre not playing properly icl

[stray elk]

bro there are so many people that miss in gc xD

[dawn ledge]

theres people at 1900 i queue with that miss occasionally

[golden ivy]

same lol

[dawn ledge]

its not that it might be youre not pushing yourself mechanically

its a game at the end of the day + youll find that going for stuff like that makes you better

[stray elk]

im gc and i can solo q rn to prove it xD

[low rain]

trying to emulate pro gameplay at gc1 is something id argue is a bad move. the rotations/decision making is based on wildly different mechanical ability and consistency.

in 2s at gc1. below GC you can probably work on anything and see large improvements. at gc it starts to be a bit catered

... something makes me feel your not GC

[stray elk]

ofc my man, im gc2 atm have been in gc since last season 12 as in before ssl existed. People miss

[umbral crag]

they do lol. I just play the miss most of the time in low gc

[low rain]

source: been GC+ since OG season 7/8

[stray elk]

Ok, solo q send replay and you will see people miss and i can point it out xD

[low rain]

then your diluding yourself if you think people don't miss. wiffs and dumb shit happens less, but definitely still happens

[umbral crag]

never said anything about flicks or beating them lol. just outright misses when it's their ball

[dawn ledge]

either that or you and the people you play with just let the ball roll around until its a for sure hit

[stray elk]

if he solo q's in gc there are enough people that miss, idk what my guy is saying tbh

[dawn ledge]

if no1 ever misses thered be like 1k points each game from shots and saves

[rotund gulch]

any keyboard players wanna help me w keybinds

[dawn ledge]

high gc3 still miss sometimes idk what gc1 lobbies hes in

[stray elk]

when do you get on?

[dawn ledge]

if no1 misses, every shot on net would be a goal if no1 saved it

[stray elk]

cause its damn easy to prove people do

[low rain]

why are we still arguing this? dude is obviously in another realm when hes playing. you want tips? focus on your match more. lol

[stray elk]

Fair, you up to play some 1v1's for practise?

[cyan sage]

is someone trying to say gcs never miss

[stray elk]

yep

[cyan sage]

🤣

[rotund gulch]

gc lobbies be looking like bronze sometimes tho

[cyan sage]

dawg gc1 isnt that good

not to the point where no shots are missed lol

gc1

[stray elk]

bro let this guy think he is right, no use in trying to convince him xD

[low rain]

bro is coping. he doesn't "miss" saves, because he sits front post with a "good shot" that goes past him into backpost, and that is because GCs are amazing

[stray elk]

yea thats why your gc 1

[prisma oak]

Yo ive been playing this game for about 7 hours a day for the past 2 weeks and I can't get out of gold can someone help me

I was plat on kbm and then switched to controller a month ago

[stray elk]

like i said just play and you will see

[prisma oak]

Well if someone feels like helping @ me and I can send replays or hop in a priv match

Itd be greatly appreciated

[urban tree]

have you watched any tutorials on yt

try shooting the ball more consistent into the net ad closer and futher distances

[visual tulip]

can someone pls help me learn how to air dribble

[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

[visual tulip]

alr bro thanks

ill try it out

🙂

[dusky fiber]

np let me know if u need anything else 🙂

[visual tulip]

k

can some teach me how to air dribble

[still musk]

I am on Console PS4 exactly

[grand holly]

The best way to learn air dribbles is to first learn aerial car control. Practice holding your car in the air while using air roll for as long as possible. After that watch a tutorial on youtube and begin practicing. Use these two packs to help you learn:
Wall To Air Dribble - 5A65-4073-F310-5495
FluuMP Air & Wall Dribbles - 9D87-258C-3C05-6FA9

[still musk]

Can you help mě with my airroll left

[grand holly]

What with air roll left specifically?

[still musk]

[visual tulip]

[still musk]

I just fly to Space when i am trying to fly in a specific dirrection

[oak totem]

what do you feel like youre messing up on

[still musk]

Dms pls

[grand holly]

You have to continue trying until you get it. You will not learn if you cannot consistently practice the right mechanics.

[visual tulip]

i dont know how to air roll

[wispy acorn]

Idk how to rotate properly and some of my aerials

[visual tulip]

can u teach me how to air roll

into the ball

to air dribble

if i js got that

i would be able to air dribble so well

[grand holly]

You need to learn how to control your car with air roll first, and then you can learn air dribbles. If you cannot control your car without the ball, you cannot control it with the ball.

[visual tulip]

can u show me how

[grand holly]

There is no showing someone how. It is only learned through experience and play time. You just need do more aerials using air roll with or without the ball. There is no tutorial for learning how air roll configures your car. It is a matter of experience.

[visual tulip]

oh

damn

[misty steppe]

Exactly, I be having that struggle

[oak totem]

ok so for rotations its kinda simple
if your teammate is back or coming back, you should be going up
if your teammate is going up, you should be staying back (not necessarily all the way back, but behind and on their side, giving them enough space to work with the ball)
and try to always rotate back post
keep that in mind

for aerials id recommend just flying arnd in freeplay trying to hit the corner of goal posts and flags which are in some maps, you can also aerial up and call the ball to you and try to hit it

tho generally for diamonds and even c1 you should work on the foundations
recovery mechs, shooting, accuracy, power shots, and boost management

[misty steppe]

It’s all practice and muscle memory basically

[wispy acorn]

Much love bro
Thx

[misty steppe]

Boost management is a big one

I was way better with my boost management when I was a gold lol, now that I’m plat 3, I zoom across sometimes to get the ball when needed

[oak totem]

yeah, learn to manage your boost and learn boost paths so youre basically always shadowing or on defence so your net will almost never be open

[misty steppe]

Also, does it depend on where the play is, as to where back post is?

[grand holly]

Yes, the back post is furthest from the ball.

[oak totem]

yes, its always the opposite corner of where the ball is

[misty steppe]

Ah, ok, thank you

I already know back post is needed almost all the time

Can I sent you a game play clip and get feedback on it?

[oak totem]

so if the ball is on the right side of the field, back post would be the left post

[misty steppe]

Gotcha

[oak totem]

sure tho preferably can you only send half the game

[jaunty flare]

im ssl i can help rank up

[misty steppe]

That’s true, but it won’t really help with if you play with someone ur rank, since ur mainly getting carried

[misty steppe]

I sent the whole 5 minutes to someone else, so it’s fine

I’ll send it later though, I’m in school rn

How do I get faster as a GC1? Decision making and car speed

[lusty violet]

Can someone coach me on my kickoffs? I am D2 in 2s and D1 in 1s (I main 1v1s btw). I concede like 3-4 kickoff goals per game even though I speedflip, and it makes it insanely hard to win.

[grand holly]

Play and watch 1v1. Decision-making is obviously knowing whether or not you can go for the ball. You develop that ability very quick in 1s. because you get instantly punished when you make a mistake (by getting scored on). In regards to car speed, I find often that players speed is not the issue and it is actually an issue of positioning. If you are positioned for where the ball will be, obviously you should beat your opponents every time. How do you know where the ball is going to be? Understanding the abilities of your rank (by playing in it), and watching pro play to see how they position with the ball being at a higher average speed.

[grand holly]

I would find a friend to go into a 1v1 with, and just take kickoffs constantly. Whoever wins it, gets to score, and highest goals wins, just to make it a little more fun and competitive.

[lusty violet]

thanks!

[grand holly]

No problem!

[ionic spade]

What do I need to do to get out of D1-D2?

[grand holly]

As anything below Platinum you should solely focus on playing the game and watching beginner youtube videos that help you get acquainted with the starters idea. Train, play, watch.

[ionic spade]

Ok ish mechs and good game sense. Still can't get out

[oak totem]

@ionic spade

[grand holly]

People on average are not critical enough of their abilities. Mechanics, game sense, and mentality encompass the entirety of Rocket League. If you think you have decent mechanics and good game sense then you shouldn't be stuck in the rank you are in. Watch one of your replays, ask yourself where you are lacking. Spend more time doing shot packs and playing 1v1, especially as a lower rated player, but that is a need for all players.

[tall tapir]

Please train me someone 🙏

[oak totem]

[tall tapir]

Dog I’m unbanked 😭

I have 12 hrs pleaseee

[oak totem]

literally go in freeplay and hit the ball arnd

[grand holly]

With all due respect, this is not good rotational advice. If your teammate is going up, in many cases, you want to be up too. If your teammate is back, in many cases, you want to be back too.

[tall tapir]

Alr

[oak totem]

well yes but not right by them, besides it worked for me, but youre right ill try to make it a lil more accurate

[mortal quail]

Thats why you don't try giving rotational advice through text, it's way too situational

[grand holly]

Well, maybe right by them too. You're implying rotation to be a circle or an oval and it's not.

[oak totem]

for diamond, should be fine honestly

low diamond anyways

[grand holly]

Definitely. There's certainly general principles to go by, but those are general because rotation highly is situational.

[oak totem]

HA

[tired geode]

Is it still possible to get the Swap Meet achievement? I thought that it was impossible to get since they removed Player-to-Player trading, but I've seen plenty of people get it. Either their's a comical amout of people cheating, or there's some work around I don't know about.

[undone goblet]

LES GOO

[mortal quail]

Its because your mean

[south dock]

You want to start by practicing good principles and rotation. Not taking/giving rules that create bad habits that will have to be broken eventually.

how do i break out of gold ive been playing 7 hours a day for 2 weeks straight and switched from kbm (where I was plat) to controller about 2 months ago and I cant break out of gold

[south dock]

7 hours a day? Jeezzzz

[prisma oak]

Im in college and im on break lol

so nothing to do :/

a lot of mindless freeplay while watching movies so I cant say I was focused for the 7 hours

but Im not improving

[south dock]

For golds i usually just recommend getting settings that make you comfortable and getting the feel for the game

[oak totem]

dont mindlessly do freeplay

[prisma oak]

I have settings im comfortable with

Use these shot packs, play them for 20 or 30 minutes and aim for corners:
Shots - 5D1D-5E1D-DCA1-F69D
Breakaway Passes - 5A61-5289-FD96-5884
Groundwork Attack- 3CF1-6A0E-D4B9-8B38
Power Training - 70AA-BF3D-DB8F-2F1B
Torment's Ground Shots - FF10-05AF-EB4A-2B7D
Awkward Shoots - 761E-8C2F-53CD-14F5

After that play some 1s games and try watching a Road to GC where they play games at your level to better understand your rank.

[prisma oak]

When I say mindlessly I mean either air dribbling or flinging the ball around and maintaining high speed

[south dock]

All that for a gold? Jeez holy

[undone goblet]

what hes doing is a good thing, getting to know how the car moves and how the ball works

[oak totem]

i mean, youre a gold no? what are you messing up on in gane?

[prisma oak]

ty thats like my biggest problem is shooting i think

[oak totem]

well yes, but mindlessly is never that helpful

[grand holly]

They're just ground shots. Some might be difficult but try them anyway and you will see some improvement.

[undone goblet]

thats what i did to get good control over my car when i started playing

[prisma oak]

when im in 1 on 1 scenarios I dont know how to get the goal if they are sitting in net and I commit too hard alot. I can get the ball on top of my car but i cant ever see the player so idk when to flick

[oak totem]

try playing 1s

[prisma oak]

I play a lot of 1s

I play more 1s than anything els

except freeplay

[south dock]

True, I personally have never learned much off training packs. Usually just played free training and forced myself to learn off replays

[prisma oak]

@grand holly what yter do you suggest for road to gc

[grand holly]

The point of training packs is not to learn, it is to refine your mechanics while increasing your ability to shoot. You are not learning anything new, you are just refining the existing skill.

[undone goblet]

what team did u play for when competing in rlcs

[grand holly]

I think I watched squishys back in the day, but any higher level player would be suitable.

[prisma oak]

okok thx

[south dock]

But you are telling a gold to do them. If he can barely hit the ball what is he refining? What

[prisma oak]

holdup

[grand holly]

Down Taunt

[prisma oak]

im not that bad lmao

[grand holly]

Can a gold not shoot the ball ever? How else does he put the ball in the net?

[south dock]

Luck

[prisma oak]

most of the time yea

[undone goblet]

okay, under what ign

[south dock]

Proof

[prisma oak]

but its more about not knowing what to do in those situations

[south dock]

I brb tho, farewell friends

[prisma oak]

like if someones sitting in net idk how to get it past them without air dribbling which is prob not smth i should focus on in gold

[strong estuary]

does the redeem code work for anyone

[glass sail]

What redeem code

[prisma oak]

is there a pack to practice that?

[strong estuary]

anyone

[prisma oak]

thinking about it

yep

[grand holly]

Dribbling - BFF5-2F90-5E7C-B9CD

[prisma oak]

tysm

ok thanks for the packs and the help

[undone goblet]

are u better than hizua

are you up 2-0 on him🤯

yh hizu should be higher in 2s

if he uses his old brain he can get like c3

thats a struggle, i started at c3 this szn had to solo que to gc2 im lucky im still alive

[supple lotus]

Saw someone else saying it wasn't working

[undone goblet]

if youve been c3 just playing for fun im sure getting gc1 wont be too big of a problem

yeah ive also got a couple of bad habits that i think are keeping me from getting gc3, its tough to adjust youre playstyle and get rid of the bad habits

yh i play like that sometimes when im tierd, ill have no awarness and ill get dunked on every play i go up for cuse i take tooi much time

[oak totem]

thats when ill 1v1 you🥱

[meager gull]

Yea it’s when you know you’ll easily beat them to the ball and expect them to back off so you take your time to control. Except in champ they don’t care and dive anyway. They respect it more in gc though cause they will actually get punished for it more

[plush shadow]

anyone got any tips for kbm players stuck in plat

[hot relic]

Just practice your mechanics just like you would on controller, focus on powershots, basic flicks/dribbling, shadow defense and maybe find a duo to play with @plush shadow

[grand holly]

Switching to controller is a pretty good idea. I found plat to be very easy when I started practicing my aerial mechanics as well. I was able to beat everyone in the air with a decent amount of practice with air roll and fast aerials.

I never said that he is stuck in plat because he is on kbm. He is stuck in plat because isn't as good as a diamond 1. However, the game is meant to be played on controller. The average capability of a keyboard player is lower than that of a controller player. There is no good reason to stay on kbm if you are in the lower ranks of the game, just getting started.

No, the only reason I come to that conclusion is because the majority of pro players are on controller. The pro players on kbm are struggling to keep up.

He wants to get better, not freestyle.

You are arguing like you play keyboard. It is very simple and obvious. The ceiling is just lower for kbm players.

Than you should understand.

Precisely. It is less and less common because it is not recommended to play the game well. Why would they continue? You are arguing against yourself.

Good players switch off of kbm because kbm is not how you are meant to play the game.

"Controllers provide a much higher degree of precision than keyboards. With a controller, you can make fine adjustments to your movements and hits, which can be crucial in a game like Rocket League where split-second decisions can make all the difference."

If you are already high ranked, that means you have hours in the game. If you have hours in the game, you might as well stay with it.

Controllers provide more precision. That is just the fact.

To get good at something? Yes.

Why would intentionally nerf yourself?

Rocket League is a game of precision

In every turn and touch you make ever.

[trim forge]

Not to meat munch but I agree

[grand holly]

Precision is Rocket League.

Woah. Do you know what that word means?

Precision?

Precision affects every mechanic in the game.

The left stick is precision. It is based in precision.

The amount you turn it when you perform any mechanic.

That's precision.

Not necessarily. Binds are easier on keyboard in regards to stalls.

Pro play is the most precise thing.

The speed at which they move while performing advanced mechanics is the highest level of precision.

Yes they are. Shooting is precision.

If you move your left stick slightly, the ball will be in a different place.

[undone goblet]

yh bubba u might be incorect this one time

[grand holly]

At a high level? I disagree.

[edgy palm]

at any leveli feel like lower level its even further gap between kbm and controller precision than proplay

yes but harder and less consistent

[grand holly]

Yes it's possible, but more difficult.

[edgy palm]

it is linear not exponential movement when turning

it is legit less consistent in every way

[grand holly]

I have become too tired of proving you wrong Bubba😴

@edgy palm Your turn

Haha

[edgy palm]

nah im good lol just insane

[grand holly]

My whole point is to give people the best chances to improve to the place they want to be.

[edgy palm]

controller makes it much easier though

[grand holly]

Getting off kbm is usually a solid step to doing that.

Unlikely.

[grand holly]

Especially considering Rocket League demographics.

Majority of players on console

Or switch from console

Likely is more than 50%

Get the definition right before you say something.

[edgy palm]

I disagree Im a kbm player for 10 years and rl is so much harder oin kbm i started on kbm initially bc i had always used it then swapped to controller in 2019 so much easier i play both all the time controller much more precise movements and you have more control

[grand holly]

Yes, if you've never used a controller than stay on kbm, obviously.

I never did. I also told him to practice in the same message.

I won't but I appreciate the suggestion. Maybe I'll change my wording.

Depends on their goals.

Maybe, but there is no point. Why hurt your chances of playing the best you can? To prove a point? Seems ridiculous.

Yes, I agree, I did say that. It was a mistake to put those hours in in the first place, but if you are already there, keep going.

Everything is a numbers game Bubba. Give yourself the best odds you can and don't intentionally hurt yourself. Life lesson for you.

This conversation tells me otherwise😁

[mortal quail]

Thats just factually wrong unfortunately
You can get high ranked with KBM, or any platform tbh. However they will never reach the heights of top pros on controller.

Because a true God KBM player is a bubble controller player

That statement is so counterintuitive

[grand holly]

Yes? So you are going to take losing odds on purpose? Good luck to you!

[mortal quail]

Soccer

The ceiling for controller is much greater PLUS having an overall advantage over car control

We won't ever see that level on KBM compared to controller. The best KBM would be like a rooney or Kane
Good players, but will always fall short

[grand holly]

This is the comparison for soccer. A player growing up in England with the best camps, coaches, equipment, teammates, teams, etc. vs a player in the U.S. with none of that. That's controller vs kbm.

U.S. has those things just not to the level of England.

[mortal quail]

Because even gifted players understand the best advantage is controller

[signal lintel]

Interesting discussion today

[grand holly]

I thought it to be quite simple.

Because of how they grow up.

[mortal quail]

We tied in the world cup

L

We are the same bozo

[grand holly]

EPL vs MLS lol

And kbm is made up of worse players 😦

[mortal quail]

Thats literally what America is

[grand holly]

Oh nevermind. Forget everything I said. Stella got it. Haha

Thanks Stella

[mortal quail]

Whenever Bubba is wrong, you know he's bored

[signal lintel]

💤

[mortal quail]

LOL

[grand holly]

This is the part where he plays it off like it was a joke, right? He's just bored.

Oh, yeah.

You can admit to being wrong lol, it's ok.

You don't have to excuse everything.

Yeah but in the sense of you not playing it off as a joke.

No your not meant to play it off.

That's how you learn!

?

I would love that!

To argue.

Or to discuss.

Is a better way to put it.

[signal lintel]

Productive discussion

[grand holly]

Not worth it anymore lol

You're a coach! That's the discussion.

On the leaderboards.

Oh, the coaching leaderboards?

[signal lintel]

Who the heck is capribubs what a goofy name

[grand holly]

Well I figured. I haven't checked the coaching leaderboards in a while.

Probably. How much do you charge?

[signal lintel]

Does the person at the top of the leaderboards charge the most?

[grand holly]

Hmmm, I'll have to think about it.

[signal lintel]

😮

[grand holly]

Unsure.

HAHA

Nice

Because you're #1, as much far as I remember.

Yes, simple and easy.

Final offer.

[edgy flicker]

how do i improve my mental. I don't get physically mad. But I feel like after a couple of losses I just make worse and worse decisions. I'm not even sure why. But when I win a couple games I'll keep winning. And when I lose a couple I'll keep losing

[severe mulch]

how can i learn freestylin

[grand holly]

Losing is a downward spiral, as winning is an upward spiral. The best way to reset your mental after a few losses is to stop playing for a little while. The best way to compound your wins is to keep playing after winning.

[edgy flicker]

that's what i wanted to do but I also don't wanna get like 2 losses and have to wait ages before playing again

[vale osprey]

yo

im new to free stylin... any tips

[grand holly]

There shouldn't be certain number of losses. It should be if you are angry. If you get mad from 5 losses and not 4, then you can lose 4 before you stop playing.

[edgy flicker]

try what works for you. eg if you think braking just before hitting the ball therefore giving more space in the air can help for certain shots then do that. Actively think about what went wrong in the freestyle and improve it

[edgy flicker]

yeah but i feel like if i get 1 then ill just get more

its not that im angry, i just make worse decisions somehow

i literally dont know how to explain it I could just say im raging but im literally not

[vale osprey]

i wanna air dribble to flip reset

[edgy flicker]

then learn air dribbling first

then try getting a reset on the first touch

[vale osprey]

im still learning

[edgy flicker]

then adapt, do a reset in the middle of an air dribble

[grand holly]

Subconcscious anger is real.

[edgy flicker]

there isn't really a fast way to learn it other than practice a lot. eg i like going for air shots a bit too much so ill always go into freeplay and just do that before games

[edgy flicker]

true

so ig if i feel like im playing bad or making bad decisions just wait a bit

cos today all my decisions were horrible

i overcommited way too much in places that made 0 sense to

and it wasn't even a challenge sometimes i just drove up too far without even attempting to challenge

[vale osprey]

how do you get discord legend title

[gray barn]

That’s a thing

[gray barn]

What rank are you?

[edgy flicker]

current d3 1s c2 2s
peak c1 1s c3 2s

2s dropped real bad tho

[vale osprey]

how do you get discord legend title

plz i need it]

plz

[edgy flicker]

bro i think you just be a mod or smth

or be og, or be super helpful idk

[vale osprey]

isadojfuas9oif

[gray barn]

Champion is honestly always going to feel hard playing it’s really just best to take a break

[edgy flicker]

aight

like i literally felt super good mechanically today as well

but i still played shit

[vale osprey]

im a hard stuck silver.. any tips

[edgy flicker]

play

[gray barn]

Hit ball goal

[vale osprey]

bruh

[edgy flicker]

no ones hard stuck silver stop trolling

[gray barn]

I was

[vale osprey]

ong im hard stuck

[gray barn]

When I first start playing I was hard stuck

[edgy flicker]

hard stuck means for like

a long long time

[vale osprey]

ik

[edgy flicker]

to get out of silver you literally just need to move your car around and hit the ball in the goal

[gray barn]

A lot easier said then done

[edgy flicker]

nah i was in silver for a while too i was super happy to get gold

but it just takes a few 10s of hours to get used to the game

[echo veldt]

Hard stuck plat-diamond, ask any questions😎

[vale osprey]

[edgy flicker]

💀

are u sigma?

[echo veldt]

Im

[vale osprey]

thats my platform

[edgy flicker]

i used to play xbox

[gray barn]

I play Xbox

[edgy flicker]

just go into freeplay and try and drive around with the ball and try not to keep crashing your car

just try and get as many hits per second as possible

that should help with car control, cos then you have to be close with the ball and keep it at a steady pace

[vale osprey]

aka dribble

[edgy flicker]

yea

[signal lintel]

What does that even mean tho

[echo veldt]

Bro just said how to warm up if u dont wanna training

[edgy flicker]

but you wont be able to do that so just rolling it near your car etc is good

[edgy flicker]

he's silver

that's literally all you need to do to get out

just play and get used to the controls

[echo veldt]

All he need is training packs

Not like kickin the ball with no reason can help so much

[edgy flicker]

nah just do freeplay and what you find fun. And play 1v1

dont play 2s or 3s atm cos 1s will double your improvement speed for now

[edgy flicker]

it can

[echo veldt]

Its better to train shots, some ez aerials, some ez stuff in packs than just shoot the ball, so u can train all stuff together

[edgy flicker]

bro you don't need to train any of that for below plat

silvers and golds just need to get used to the game

[gray barn]

No don’t focus training packs

[gray barn]

Yes

[echo veldt]

Training packs are the Base for very low ranks

💀

[edgy flicker]

at like gold 3 in 1v1 then you could maybe start doing some basic ground shot training packs

[gray barn]

You can’t go tell a silver to start a air dribble training pack

[edgy flicker]

dude they wont even know what to do

[echo veldt]

I didnt say to train air dribble, just some ez shots and aerials

[edgy flicker]

@vale osprey just play 1v1 and try and think about what you could do better if you get scored on

[echo veldt]

To know how to hit the ball Hard

[vale osprey]

ok

[vale osprey]

ok

[edgy flicker]

no one below plat will have the patience or ability to do even easy shots

[vale osprey]

ok

[echo veldt]

I had

I was training air dribble on silver-gold

[edgy flicker]

once you get like gold 2-3 in 1v1 then you can do random freeplay training if you want

[echo veldt]

XD

[gray barn]

No they need to feel out the map and figure out how to drive around and powerslide and drive up walls and power shot

[edgy flicker]

congrats maybe thats why you're hardstuck

[vale osprey]

my epic is mccrenyboy

[edgy flicker]

literally like whats this slicky guy on about

[echo veldt]

Lol, how is it can be a reason

This thing was in 2018

[edgy flicker]

because you would be champ if you focused on useful things

[echo veldt]

I just either get mates Who cant hit the open net or smurfs vs me

So, i cant 1v2, 1v3

[edgy flicker]

play 1v1

no excuses

[echo veldt]

1v1 is so boring

[edgy flicker]

yeah only cos you dont know how to play the game

1v1 is the base for all gamesense

[vale osprey]

ok my epic is mccrenyboy and im on xbox one

[echo veldt]

Everytime i go 1v1, all i wanna do is mechanics

[gray barn]

Platinum is so easy to get out of it’s not even funny

[edgy flicker]

if you never played 1s youll have no clue how to play the other modes

[echo veldt]

Ok, how abt some high lvl players Who dont play it?

[edgy flicker]

i mean i wont add you i aint got time just do 1v1s

[edgy flicker]

thats because they played it before

[echo veldt]

Its game to have fun first of all, u get fun - u can improve

[vale osprey]

ok fine

[edgy flicker]

you really think people go pro having never played 1v1

[echo veldt]

U wont improve with no fun

[edgy flicker]

then dont give improvement tips if you wanna have fun

[echo veldt]

I didnt say never, but they wasnt a 1v1 rats Who play it 24/7

[gray barn]

You’d be surprised

[edgy flicker]

yeah but they all played quite a lot

[echo veldt]

Im not talking abt everyone, i just know theres players Who didnt like 1v1, so wasnt playin it and still reached high lvl

If u got brain and wanna improve, u still Will, no matter if u play 1s or no

[edgy flicker]

yeah and all sources show that playing 1v1 leads to way faster improvement

[echo veldt]

Not for everyone

[edgy flicker]

the reason you probably suck at 1s is because you go for air dribbles, fail and give them open nets

[gray barn]

It seems like it’s working a lot for you

[edgy flicker]

💀

[echo veldt]

Huh

[edgy flicker]

a high level isn't like champ or gc btw

[vale osprey]

yo

[echo veldt]

💀 Lol

[edgy flicker]

anyone can get that with only 2s. but itll take significantly longer

[gray barn]

What is high level to u

[edgy flicker]

like significantly

not a little bit longer

[echo veldt]

Id find a vid with guy talking abt some ssl/pro guy Who didnt like to play 1s and got good without it, but im lazy

[edgy flicker]

oh yeah the 1 guy out of like 1000's

[echo veldt]

But still

[edgy flicker]

no its not still

1v1 is the base of the whole game

[echo veldt]

How is it even linked to me

[edgy flicker]

you can play just 2s and 3s for fun. but 2s and 3s is just 1s but with more players

[gray barn]

If you wanna improve, improve using a easier method if you wanna hard stuck grind plat then go for it

[edgy flicker]

you wont understand how or why until you get to a high rank

yeah but every pro still says 1s is the best mode to improve

[echo veldt]

Ok, how i should improve in 1s if i dont care abt 1s at ALL? 🙂

[edgy flicker]

stop thinking you're a god and learn from your mistakes

[echo veldt]

I still can get good like i do and without 1s

[edgy flicker]

that'll make you better at 2's and 3's

[gray barn]

I don’t know maybe go play Fortnite

[edgy flicker]

do that then you'll just be a lot slower

[echo veldt]

Cringe

[echo veldt]

Nah, i still improving, just cant rank up

[edgy flicker]

💀

[gray barn]

💔

[echo veldt]

Im not a competitive guy, idc, only matter what beautiful stuff i can do

[edgy flicker]

yeah , no one can be bothered to smurf in plat

[echo veldt]

Lol

U wish

[edgy flicker]

then why are you talking about improvement

just go freestyle

[gray barn]

Play casual then tf

[edgy flicker]

bro i'm literally champ I have been in plat and diamond you know

[echo veldt]

Cuz training packs are the Base for low ranks, it helps with everythin they need

[gray barn]

It doesn’t

[edgy flicker]

and i can say that plat and diamond is fully capable of getting out of if you're good enough

[edgy flicker]

this guy bruh

[echo veldt]

So, why everyone except u are saying it to play? Ig uall r only geniuses

[gray barn]

I mean sure it does but more efficient is going to be free play

[edgy flicker]

no everyone says to get a feel when you first start

no one says to go hit simple aerial shots when you just started 💀

[echo veldt]

Any utube vid Will say to play training packs to learn how to hit the ball Hard and some simple aerials

[gray barn]

What I didn’t understand this at all

[edgy flicker]

aerials are literally a waste of time until at least plat

[edgy flicker]

No it won't lmfao

[echo veldt]

Go for it

[gray barn]

Send link

[edgy flicker]

and if it does it will give a custom made one with like super simple shots

[echo veldt]

U can find it easily by urself

[edgy flicker]

not simple aerials

[gray barn]

Ironic

[edgy flicker]

Bro, silvers and golds can't aerial. And they don't need to. you can get plat purely by just having good car movement

[echo veldt]

Ironic 💀 guy really wanna waste my time to open utube and look for vids

[gray barn]

Your the one complaining about it so

[edgy flicker]

playing rl for the first time and trying to hit aerials is the stupidest thing i ever heard

[echo veldt]

How im complaining

[edgy flicker]

find a single video where they say, as soon as you hop into the game. try and hit aerial shots

like the amount of braincells used to come together with that conclusion must be in the negatives

[echo veldt]

Do i say abt some crazy ass aerials? Just some 2m of the ground aerials

[edgy flicker]

dude

[echo veldt]

To be able hit the ball thats not on the ground

[gray barn]

You don’t need to aerial dude

[edgy flicker]

in the first 20 hours of playing rocket league i didn't even use ball cam

and you're saying they should be doing aerials

[echo veldt]

And if u can - x10 easier to rank up

[gray barn]

Not till like plat 2 which still you can really get away with till diamond

[echo veldt]

Its not something Hard to learn

[edgy flicker]

not for the amount of time it takes

[gray barn]

From someone who’s hard stuck plat

[echo veldt]

Depends of guy and his motivation 🙂

[echo veldt]

So u wanna clips with my aerials, double taps?

🙂

With my half clean airroll

[gray barn]

That’s why you hard stuck plat all mechs no sense

[echo veldt]

And i still use brain for positioning and movements

[signal lintel]

Just practice air dribble and nothing else to get out of low rank 🤷‍♂️ sounds fun to me

[gray barn]

Sorry but double tap is realistically not that impressive once you reach diamond one

[echo veldt]

Ppl Who say ur teammates isnt ur problem to rank up, prob never meet these

[edgy flicker]

@echo veldt , if you want to know why you don't need aerials, watch flakes

[echo veldt]

Just saying, usually i just go aerials and shadow defence

Can try some air dribble, but cant use airroll for it still

[gray barn]

Shadow defense your in plat

[mortal quail]

Stop going for aerials and you'll hit diamond

[edgy flicker]

watch flakes 1v1 or 2v2 road to ssl w/o mechanics

[echo veldt]

K and so? Its not plat from 2018 where ppl couldnt hit the ball, its keep gettin better each season

I meet guys with speedflip, airroll and resets

[edgy flicker]

he literally gets to your rack by literally just moving his car around and rolling the ball

[signal lintel]

Yeah honestly teammates are so bad especially in solo queue, like how am I supposed to rank up if they're all worse than me

[mortal quail]

Plat is still plat

[gray barn]

Dude it’s really not at all

[echo veldt]

Ive seen it, bounxe dribble + shadow defence

[edgy flicker]

not in silver and gold

[echo veldt]

Ok, then why i see the diff every seasob

[edgy flicker]

he literally starts in gold and barely rolls the ball

you're saying silver 1's should learn aerials

[gray barn]

Dude how many seasons have you been in plat💀

[edgy flicker]

like stop trolling and think about it

[echo veldt]

Just some 2m height aerials isnt that Hard to learn

[edgy flicker]

💀 , i went from diamond 1 to champ 1 in like 2 seasons of actual gameplauy

[echo veldt]

Since i came back to the game, 2

[edgy flicker]

are you listening at all

[echo veldt]

From d3 to plat 3

[mortal quail]

Wait bro sucks, unlucky

[edgy flicker]

the time to progress ratio of learning 2m aerials is much less that just using half your brain and rollign the ball

[gray barn]

You know what you go learn your air dribble triple reset musty and stay in plat I’m going to watch Netflix

[mortal quail]

Won't take advice and deranked

[echo veldt]

I dont learn it until i learn a clean full control airroll

[edgy flicker]

straight up bro i argue with way to many funny people on here

[echo veldt]

Still got issues with airroll

[edgy flicker]

you got issues with accepting advice

you know what the dunning kruger effect is?

[echo veldt]

What advice, how it turned from gold silver to me

Fr

[mortal quail]

Bro can't even see advice

[edgy flicker]

slicky do you know what the dunning kruger effect is?

if not just quickly google an image and listen for a second

[signal lintel]

Yeah why the heck are they in such a high rank when they can't even play right

[echo veldt]

I i just got no idea how it gone from silver gold to givibg me advices💀💀💀 like i was askin for it

[edgy flicker]

plat and diamond is not a high rank

[edgy flicker]

because you're hardstuck plat and trying to give wrong adviice

do as i said then maybe ill reply again

otherwise it's not worth my time

[echo veldt]

So, hittin the ball Hard and consistent is not needed mechanic for even gold?

[mortal quail]

Because your giving wrong advice

[edgy flicker]

nope

not even plat

[echo veldt]

Oh yeah, better to just hit it anywhere, but not into net

[edgy flicker]

that's not what i said

[echo veldt]

With no power

[edgy flicker]

you don't need to know powershots and aerials below diamond

do you think flakes uses power before like plat

[mortal quail]

Powershots are still very useful

[echo veldt]

Aight, maybe aerials yes, but shots are the main thing that helps with rank ups

[signal lintel]

Unironically true because most "shots" at that level are too easy to defend

[echo veldt]

If u cant shot, u cant do much then

[edgy flicker]

yeah but not knowing how to hit them in every situation. maybe knowing how to do a bounce powershot

in like high gold

[edgy flicker]

thats the most useless advice ever

[mortal quail]

Knowing how to hook shot will lead to free goals

[echo veldt]

Ik that gold wont save even 1kph shit, but still it better to be able powershot than not

[vast cloak]

Ur dust

[edgy flicker]

it doesn't matter if i can hit a hard shot on the ground if its right at the opponent

[signal lintel]

Is that a gameplay tip

[vast cloak]

Yes

[signal lintel]

Ok ty

[edgy flicker]

bro just watch flakes road to ssl's w/o mechanics maybe if you want to rank up you'll watch and copy him rather than thinking you know more than everyone in this chat even while being a lower rank

[echo veldt]

Too boring, rather play minecraft

[edgy flicker]

then stop giving advice on how to rank up bozoz

just keep quiet and listen to other's advice

[signal lintel]

Trying to copy flakes in that series is a really bad idea lol

[echo veldt]

I just giving an advice that powershots are very useful shit

[edgy flicker]

you're just hindering others progress otherwise

[echo veldt]

And theres nothing bad to learn it

[edgy flicker]

yeah not when you have less than 10 hours and don't know the controls

[echo veldt]

So, powershots is a thing that takes sooooo much time?

1-2h and u learned it

[edgy flicker]

is it? I went from diamond 1 to champ 1 fast than I went from gold 1 to diamond 1 after watching it

[echo veldt]

Theres also much of silvers with a lot of hours

[edgy flicker]

yeah and it takes 10 minutes if you already know the controls

can you please use your eyes to read what i am saying

[echo veldt]

So, u can train both thing together

[edgy flicker]

certain mechanics take much much less time if you have 20 hours in the game compared to 10

[signal lintel]

Watching for inspiration is different than copying him. His fundamental movement mechs and game sense are pro level, and he uses that stuff in the series

[edgy flicker]

yeah i dont copy him either but you learn a lot from him

[signal lintel]

Ye 100%

[edgy flicker]

yeah and probably half of them were you

[echo veldt]

Not like u need to have so much hours and be able to control car, to just ride straight and shot at the right timing

[edgy flicker]

jessus

[echo veldt]

Ul, but u didnt guess

Just saying, avrg hours for d3 is 1k and i had it on 250 🙂

[gray barn]

What’s your used

[echo veldt]

I was silver when i was 11yo

[spare sandal]

guys could any of you coach me through my silver-gold stream on twitch

[gray barn]

Fact check (user)

[edgy flicker]

i never said you couldn't learn powershots in silver or that they were useless. But learnign the literal controls is gonna help you out 5x more in the first 10 hours than trying to learn powershots

[echo veldt]

If i can find my old one before i changed epic, i can send it

On new epic i had d2

[gray barn]

lol lying

[echo veldt]

Lmao

[edgy flicker]

average hours for d3 in 2s or 3s is not 1k

[echo veldt]

Ok, whats point of lying abt being d3?

[edgy flicker]

i have maybe like 700-800 and im c2

[cobalt helm]

How do I check my hours

[edgy flicker]

depends what platform

[echo veldt]

So, u can watch sunless or some guy Who did a vid abt it, maybe cbell, cant remember Who did that vid

[spare sandal]

guys could any of you coach me through my silver-gold stream on twitch my user is evilwydd

[edgy flicker]

yeah i saw that vid

that was also super outdated iirc

[cobalt helm]

Ps

[echo veldt]

2022?

[edgy flicker]

watch a couple yt vids on simple drills you dont need coaching

[cobalt helm]

/console

[echo veldt]

Or what year was that

[edgy flicker]

that's outdated

[signal lintel]

How, in your twitch chat?

[edgy flicker]

and that's assuming half the entries werent wrong entirely

[spare sandal]

Yea

[cyan sage]

silver and gold

[spare sandal]

I have chat open all times

[cyan sage]

when bronze

[spare sandal]

No im trying to get to gold

[signal lintel]

DM I might join for a few min

[spare sandal]

Anyone can join

[gray barn]

Silver to gold

[edgy flicker]

trust me dude you don't need coaching just spend 20 mins looking for a simple drills video and do it

bro the people in this server are kinda braindead ngl

[cobalt helm]

How do I check I'm on playstation

[edgy flicker]

soz, you can see in match hours by going to career and stats

[cyan sage]

: )

[edgy flicker]

but that only shows time in actual games like 1v1 and 2v2 no training etc

[cobalt helm]

:/

[edgy flicker]

aight im done id rather sleep than debate here. good luck

[signal lintel]

I just watch and then copy paste a few applicable generic tips because it's always the same stuff at low ranks

They might be decent at one or two things so you can kinda shift their focus

[edgy flicker]

straight up

thats smart actually

[patent flame]

gold? with skill level of plat?

[signal lintel]

What does that mean tho? You haven't played much ranked this season?

[patent flame]

no im just hard stuck

and yes some what that

its my first seaon accually doing ranked

?

[signal lintel]

Ok so just solo queue a bunch and you'll get to the correct rank based on your skill, probably like 30 games or something

[patent flame]

yea ive tryed that

[signal lintel]

After you do that then you'll have enough recent ranked experience to make use of advice/coaching too

[patent flame]

i just asked some oen to coach me ysterday

i have some what of a coach but he kinda sucks

[signal lintel]

Unlucky

[patent flame]

mhhhh

no

i said accually trying

tf i wasnt talkign to u

asked yeyeye ik your not cool

[signal lintel]

Savage moves in #gameplay-tips

[patent flame]

so you have a problem with my rank now

[signal lintel]

@patent flame if some of your skills are plat, try to figure out which skills are silver because those are keeping you in gold

[cobalt helm]

What's happening

[patent flame]

yep thank you any advise on recoveries which are probabl4y bad

[patent flame]

some one had a problem with me asking then had a go at my rank a question

nah rlly oml your so smart im deffently not in gold holly

[cobalt helm]

I'm Gold 💀

You dont

[patent flame]

dam bros rlly having a go at every one now

[undone goblet]

its bubba

[cobalt helm]

Thats them

[patent flame]

?

[fluid coral]

Can I hop in a call with somebody, willing to help me with 1v1s, I've been struggling to win at all recently, I'm Diamond 2 and It's almost impossible to break Diamond 3
I don't have anything to offer, I'm just lost and struggling I cannot keep up with these players.

[patent flame]

no sorry im to low to evan think about helping but gl anyway

[fluid coral]

Maybe watch the reply before you judge my practise

I play in private matches against GC-SSL 1v1 players to practise, None of them are online for the next week, and I don't understand how I d2 am expected to win the games I get

[signal lintel]

Watch the replays from those private matches, watch from your opponent's POV

[fluid coral]

Wanna watcht he replay?, It's not that I don't know why I loose, it's how am i suspected to win.

[cobalt helm]

Improve on the things that cause u to concede goals

[fluid coral]

I want a second opinion i guess i wasent clear enough, I don't believe my region's diamond 2 1v1 lobbies can be called diamond 2

[patent flame]

any tips on hwo to improve my recoveri7es

[fluid coral]

My lobbies are atleast a couple ranks higher than what they should be.

[patent flame]

same

[cobalt helm]

Work on airroll depending on ur rank

[patent flame]

what like in the air

[fluid coral]

What region are you?

[cobalt helm]

U playing against smurfs?

[patent flame]

ace

oce

[cobalt helm]

No to recover whats ur rank

[fluid coral]

They, arent ... smurfs, they just dont belond in diamond 2, I play players who are gc in 2v2

[patent flame]

gold:(

[cobalt helm]

Same

[fluid coral]

My air controll is that of average GC's

[cobalt helm]

Wb ground

[fluid coral]

Ground id say mid champ

[patent flame]

my airroll skillls are probablt plat high possibly dia 1

[signal lintel]

I do written replay analysis for free but not voice chat, DM if you want

[fluid coral]

still more than enough skill to get me through diamond 2 i just, meet these players i could never win

[cobalt helm]

Half flips, wave dashes, little bit of air roll is enough recovery mechanism for gold

[patent flame]

half flips and dashes i have down

[dawn ledge]

show me a replay

[patent flame]

but ill try

[cobalt helm]

So basically ur playing d2s that u think are better than d2
