That is an easy solution but if you have car cam on it’s easier to change directions if needed
Not really
its mainly better with ball cam
What rank are you?
C2
K
But it could work better with ball cam for you
True
I’m guessing you just went with it and now you’ve adapted
But i think it is for most people
I dont think i know anyone who doesn't use ball cam when air dribbling
Smth I don’t understand is why all new players use car cam as a default
Ye i can agree with that lol
Nah I use ball cam when I air dribble but I meant from the ground
From the ground obviously
I didnt realise lol
Should have read it properly my bad lol
I look stupid ha
No worries
But after like two touches i still use ball cam
Yea same unless I gotta double
True
Honestly though i dont use it much
Im just focusing on ground mechs alot now
Like perfecting my zap dash etc.
Yea same it takes a good amount of space to pull it off
I’m mainly focused on all the mechs when it comes to speed
Mainly staying super sonic for as long as possible
Ye ik
Just trying to perfect it
I got gcs and ssl helping me they gave me tips
So I just gotta train alot lol
Ye
I can inv you to some server
Its not dodgy' you dont have to though lol
Its a yt server of a friend whos tryna get big theres SSL and gcs in there
They do competitions and giveaways too like 10k credits etc.
You want to?
I got plat but i oeft all my games so thats why
I played with my coaching friend and he said i could be d3-c1
It did
Like cash prizes
Or gift cards etc.
Ohhh
The guy spends alot of money
Makes sense now
Want me to inv you?
Yea sure
Can you invite me too seems like fun
Sure
Any1 tryna coach an eu plat1 who is rlly un-mechanichal???

Can someone coach me? im not that good
Can someone coach me
Play like a psycho in casual to practice mechanics consistency

can anyone coach me im gold 1 dd
I really need a couch
looking for a grand or ssl to help me
can someone grand or ssl maybe see some mistakes that i am doing and not letting me escape diamond maybe 1 v1 me and see some mistakes thanks
can someone grand or ssl maybe see some mistakes that i am doing and not letting me escape diamond maybe 1 v1 me and see some mistakes thanks
guys im d3 and have tried everything to get to champ, what should I do now
play 1s
in general: Play more 1s to improve individually, play less risky (not overcomitting in corners), look more around you (to make your decision making better), rotate more around the smaller pads to stay more in rotation and not leaving your mate alone too mucz, look at yourself and dont blame your mate
learn new stuff
Epthical my epic
i learnt how to flip reset and that didnt help
yeah
always on the grind
whats your rank?
i think its my overall gamesense
i dont want to get boosted js want to let you know
not needed to get to champ
i mean master what u know
not overflicking i corners for istance, rather jump 1 time low and 50/50, then u will usually have a better landing and can rotate faster, just an example
do i send the ball in there corners by any chance?
lemme change epic setting 1 sec
wait how do i do it again, i chnaged it last yr cuz some guy was spam friending
yeah
can someone grand or ssl maybe see some mistakes that i am doing and not letting me escape diamond maybe 1 v1 me and see some mistakes thanks
bruh
Plat here any1 looking to coach me
modt likely not doing backpost rotation, having poor boost management, being inefficient with your boost and your movement, poor shooting
sure
Eu gc1 in 2s c1 in 1s and c2 in 3s
If u want some tips/coaching feel free to message me.
(Besides advanced mechs like double flip resets i cant help u with that😐)
Add Okaokaoka3ED for a epic
wdym advanced🙃
i did
Must be too advanced if i cant do it😂
ok so i did what you said and lost every game
thats not to good...
i didnt tell u to stay out of the play completely just make sure u dont over commit
even if they get possession a fake challenge most of the time will make them pass to you
i tried to stay in the play but the ball js got sent down and we got scored on cuz tms cant position
have u seen d3 lobbys? they always expects u to miss
try not to solo que
my only tm is d1
that still works to your benefit if they dont flick it over you they keep it low and you can 50
i faked challenge to get either the ball blasted or i get demoed
nothing works
do you have a replay
@boreal lantern did u want coaching?
Yh
i gtg rn so if you can check ballchasing.com it'd be better
i added u
K I’m not at my pc rn I’ll add you when I’m back

I recently started playing rocket leauge and I am unranked and pretty bad. If anyone would be able to coach me on playstation for a small amount of time that would help alot. If you would like to coach me dm me.
an someone grand or ssl maybe see some mistakes that i am doing and not letting me escape diamond maybe 1 v1 me and see some mistakes thanks
Can someone coach me I’m silver
how do i get good at this game i have no control over the ball and i mindlessly run into everything 🙏
hours
the only way is just hours
i run into everything in an attempt to try and touch the ball
ive been playing on and off since season 4
if you want to get really good at RL you have to no life it for a while
not on and off
when i am c1 in 2s, what should my 1s rank be
on and off is no good
damnit
it shouldn't be anything, it is what it is
Can someone coach me
youtube tutorials
hey can anyone give tips to a diamond 1? (2s)
Can someone please coach me
Don't give your opponents space
Plat 2 here looking for tips to hit plat 3-D1
its just the freestylers that only go for aerials/demos
agree
ok
i have a question
im on kbm and when i speedflip idk why my car is messed up
should i send a clip
cancel faster idk
it's probably the speed of ur cancel
otherwise you wouldn't be having issues
ok
should i show clip?
speedflip in kbm is kinda weird
look for a tutorial
no just cancel faster
it's like w+a and then hold s to cancel once you've flipped
ok
or w+d
any tips just got d1 for the first time in 2s
my nose points really down
ok
that's it lol
keep playing the game
tysm
p3 and low d1 are literally the same rank
fr

he couldn't even 1v1 a champ
😔
why
whats your rank
why do you want my rank
tell me
why
you're*
Woah chill out guys
?
aw I wanted to play with him more 😦
also I never even went off on u what are you on about
.
.
.
I was stating a fact from my personal experience
you chose to take it personally
ign?
and u still dont wanna q my silver games
yeah silver is too low for me sorry 😦
what for haha
tell me
tell me
what
exactly
tf
people get nervous with tags dont know why lmao
what's wrong with indian people?
why do you need my name. just tell me the name. no tell me . what do i tell you. exacly
🤓
lol?
What happened
bro cant even speak
how come I'm getting warned when I'm trying to steer this back on topic 💀
🤣 let’s all chill go to off topic discussions for this
anyone can coach me im gold
What you need help with
iisma do you know dodgy?
powershotting and fly
I think the easiest way to do a power shot is to bounce dribble
ok
is anyone here able to tell me how to improve my mechs (i have no mic)
Try to keep the ball bouncing as a start
i think its when u do half voley
practice
not my question
i do but i smtimes feel like i do wrong
np
it basically says use training packs
i was told not to with ceiling shots thou
i’ll lf a training pack with lots of situations and variations or practicing ingame
ingame is more difficult tho
ik, i can do a ceiling shot decently
but if i do in game
😐
we dont go there
then go for free training but im not really a fan of training either unlimited boost
What helped me out is turning unlimited boost off to simulate in game though it’s not for everyone
not the same situations than ingame but still better than with unlimited boost
anyone coach me im gold
when gold u dont need coaching
best thing to do there is to play and gain experience
150 hours i got
and ur gold?
technique like the way u do it?
yes
yup
too bad
oh dear, ive played for 50 hrs and im diamond
so good
prob cus i have intense routine
u’ll get progressively better
i play like 20 hours
150h gold ain’t bad
well i dont want to be doing it wrong then i would need to reload
its horrible i got 1 day and 18 hrs and im diamond
u cant do many mistakes while doing a ceiling shot tbh
yes u can
Nah bro back in my day xD I was gold for my first 1k h
u r now?
even pros use unlimited boost tf you mean
Low gc
they have learned almost everything dude tf
Cuz they got their mechs down
then people ask why they can hit a reset in freeplay but not ingame
Btw training back then there was no help
send me a clip in dm
yeah no, a reset is maximum 60 boost
alr
It should rarely take that much boost if it’s just a reset
well you wont have perfect setups when you’re first starting
You don’t need a perfect setup if you got the mech down
unless you’re high gc then yes you need atleast a good setup
anyway is better to learn
not to master
different things
Ive heard apparentlyjack said that its better to master 1 thing than to be well rounded and good enough in everything
i dmed u
(for lower ranks) so gc1 and below
🧢 by the time your c3 you should already be good a receding the ball
Recovering
well im a gc1 i cant consistently flip reset, and if I do, my shot afterwards is not good
I reached by mastering ground dribbles and flicks
and a bit of good defending
Ooh what’s your 1s
I’m gc1 can consistently flip reset but my my shot rate on goal rate around 60% also c2 in 1s
Ground game is my game
But in air I’m slow
whats the single best mech to rank up in 2s
whats your current rank
d3
can anyone recommend some skills i should practice as a high plat trying to get to diamond on mouse and keyboard
eh train dar using rings maps
rotation
hit the ball
thank you
Nah rotation only works If the whole team knows how to use it lol
i play 2s and hes better than me
the main reason i cant get to champ is cuz cocky kids who think they can rot8 dont ever
plus all the smurfs
yeah
Focus on flip resets and airdribbles those will get you to at most d2
been double resetted on cuz tm didnt insta
Then start with quad resets
let them ballchase and cover for them
ive flip resetted 3 tiems in game after 100 games
they never keep possession
then im in a big 2v1
Just be like me and beat the 2vQ
i would assume its easy to 2v1 a plat
1*
watch flakes road to ssl look how he plays with ballchasers in a similar rank
im d3
Tbh I would get a duo
k
i need a duo but like i dont have headphones atm cuz i uhh
we dont ask why
and i play in a public room
you dont need a duo
it'd help
what helps is playing with different mindsets
Me personally I am d1 but I consider my self a champ
i need to be alone to peak
and there is som1 in my room most if not all of the time
look at dark he is mid ssl yet he still ballchases like a platinum
And my tm8 is c1-c2 and we are equally good
its more about gamesense than mechanics
Nah but I have better game sense than him tho
yeah no you dont
He’s just allot more mechanical and consistent with shooting
you underestimate how high gamesense can get you
Ik but if I don’t play comp it’s doesn’t rly matter
watch replays and youll know why youre in your current rank
show me
?
are you on pc
Oh ye I think I actually have an alt that is c2 lol
play 1 ranked game and see how you do
Alr
Ps5
give me your epic
You already got it
Why?
check off topic
demos are a core mechanic of the game
I don't really understand why they tilt people so much
Rly?
You don’t understand why it tilts ppl
I mean yeah I get why but it really shouldn't
like yeah it can be annoying but some people literally send death threats to people who demo
Tbh I think most ppl kinda like to exist
Yea tbf that is weird
I got a death threat for winning a casual 1v1 lol
like yeah I do get annoyed too a bit if I'm being demo chased but I don't let it ruin my vibe
fr
I got 8 pages of angry steam comments from 1 dude when I beat him in cas 2v2
I prolly should look for some players willing to watch me play and gimme some tips
I’m here 😇
haha
I have been tryna self coach but I’m busy touching grass
1st mistake right there
And self improving
touching grass makes you worse at the game
don’t touch grass if u wanna be good
Was that a quote from my boy spookluke
fair enough
I don’t get why ppl hate him either
He literally put up a freeeee coaching program
And he uploads coaching content
Not free
I think
Or yea his program is not free but he just made a website
Called skool.com or sum
bro i swear im never playing ranked 2s with a random bc the last 3 games 2 have left mid way and 1 had made 2 own goals
I 1v9
average rocket league experience
ikr
well average diamond experience
and now im dia 1
who?
spookluke
some hate them because of the gcbc prize and others because he usually contradicts himself
i dont really care tbh
at least hes creating content of the game lol
tanks
How To Get Diamond 2
how do i make my stats pop up on lfg???
stats?
- use /looking-for-group command in #looking-for-group
- click the highlighted @mention to DM
- otherwise copy-paste the user#0000 and add them
- if you want players to be able to join you in Discord VC, join an empty channel or create a channel, then use the /looking-for-group command, and a "Join Voice" button will appear under your LFG post.
Development on this functionality is on-going, feedback or suggestions in how the bot can be improved are welcome.
yk on the lfg group how it pops up w their rank and stuff
nothing too fancy master what u have learned until now
i need coach
and adapt to ur m8s
what art said basically
my only problem with those broddas is the defense
"hit ball thats it" completely whiffs to a 10 km ball 😭
anyone want to coach me?
tbh i doubt it happens as often as you think it does
yeah people focus on mistakes and keep a blind eye to the things others do right
that's why everyone has "bad teammates"
only by looking at your plays from an outside perspective such as replay analysis will you start spotting more mistakes in your own play
I've been stuch in gold three for like that last forever and I broke into plat once but lost out. Any good advice for how to pregress?
keep going dude! The fact that you broke into plat once means you can do it again
i dont think i only focus on mistakes
...
maybe not intentionally
it's definitely a subconscious thing
what im saying is they would do things right except for defending
anyone else here think they play better at the end of the season or just me
I mean at the end of the season most people have promoted
i end the season on c3 but slowly fall into low c2 at the start of it]
I definitely do since I only play comp at the end of season haha
So that's prob it
if at all
every replay i watch im just like "bro he trashhh i wouldve done another thing"
i do yes
watching your mates doesn't help you
i doubt you have a game where you did no mistakes at all
in replays
there will never be a rocket league game without mistakes
yeah so try your best to catch them and learn from them
there are and have been
I've had a couple games where I can tell I just peaked
with 0 relevant mistakes
but those games for me are like 1 in 10000
im talkin mistakes in general
yeah?
you still def made some tiny bad decisions or something
yes tiny ones
key to solo q: if you are always in defense lifes easier as you can rely on yourself
like "missed this boost pad" or something
thats what im sayin
slower than you think, its more important to avoid overcommiting
but none that the opponents would be able to punish me for
unpunishable tiny mistakes
like "good moves" in chess
not best
but rocket league isn't a solved game not by far so obviously human play has constant mistakes
especially below mid gc (id guess at least as im not there)
when i hear "peak" i only have that one plat game in mind when m8 shot at the crossbar then i aerial'd and tilted my entire car to send it down to the net
even pros do constant mistakes in theory
well little things add up so ofc
but they're not relevant since no one is able to prove that they are mistakes
what are the best mechanict that can be used in gold and low plat. not to style or look cool, but to beat your opponent and become consistent?
well more that they arent able to punish it
mechanics*
half flip
50s
probably anything about speed
basic knowledge*
good powershopts on target out of various positions
how yall got nexto in ranked
if you gave AI an infinite amount of time to analyze the game and have it solve rocket league and you gave it a replay of the best pro game ever played to analyze it would find mistakes everywhere
but obviously that isn't relevant
nor is it realistic
they made AIs that were good but i cant imagine it playing perfectly just because of how chaotic the game is
fr tho ai wont beat tas in how perfect gameplay can get
i assume even good coaches find a few mistakes in every pro replay, just that the "meta" doesnt "let" them counter it
exactly
yeah absolutely especially in 3s since there are more variables but if you tell a coach to find the biggest mistake in the best pro game I'd think he'd start just grasping at straws
the only thing that matches perfect gameplay is TAS
well tas is just for mechs anyway
its hard to objectively make the right choice
pausing an online game ahh
what are reccomended settings that i should use? i havent messed with settings because I dont want to mess anything up
tas is unbeatable in non variable reliant games
but rocket league is full of variables so it won't work
you mean controls and camera or just one of the two
WHy is Rocket League Pc Fockinnn 27 GB
idk but its not the worst
Tips for getting better car control
probable both? I hear people talking about changing the air role button to the same as power slide, i just dont want to ruin my gameplay by useing bas settings
well air roll and powerslide on the same button can help with recoveries
but whats important is just for you to be confortable with it
thx
i show that is possible to make tas ss but u get banned almost immediately
fun fact of the day
what do you mean by "tas ss"
server side
ah
you can also copy a pros settings btw
wha
ye weird
pro play is completely different than the ranks we know
i would rather try my hardest to perfect my settings according to how my brain moves my hand
well its true but i think for the most part the settings would be rather similar to most players' settings
like the sensitivity of pros is way higher than that of most players but other than that most bindings should be usable by the majority of the playerbase
is there any good coahching programs out there?
def but the price matches the quality usually
Tips for getting better car control? In air
not sure i can send it here but you can prob check on metafy
okay
Can someone give me advice for half flipping and speedflipping I can do them just not Consistently
are you ssl?
Train more
Take a look at “The Grand Champ Roadmap”. They have a coaching program that’s pretty good if you’re 18+
a scam ^
That’s a scam? Wayton? ^^
isnt it the one that cost 1k dollars
whose is it
No ideas whose that is, but Waytons isn’t 1k.
well i dont know what program your talking about but you dont need a coach until youre high gc where the small things make a difference
That’s insane though that someone’s charging a GRAND for rocket league coaching..
Tips on how to get out of diamond and solo q
spooklukes scam program
Stop solo queing, go to #looking-for-group and setup a group invite 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah nah that’s wicked.
that channel is basically solo queuing but with communication
What rank are you in Diamond? I’m D2-D3 rn.
I deranked from d2 to plat 3 and now I’m d1
Shword, you on now?
?
You on the game?
Yep
@ me on epic cuz. Forxged
I sit around D3 and on a good week C2.
Alr
Took a minute away from the game in Season 24 but we’re so back to
U on bc I sent
Name came up as ? Marks. What’s your id?
Dm
SirSinsky?
not sure
I know I need some more work to get back to where I was. 😂👍🏻
I’m looking for someone to coach me I’m trying to get better I’m plat 3 my peak was D1 any help !
Looking if anyone could help me out i'm around plat 1-2 if i'm warmed up and doing good. I'm a kbm player
can anyone coach me?
How do i hit a super duper musty zen toes flick anyone know? Its the main mech i have trouble learning
Need tips I’m tryna get out of diamond but I don’t think I can
Hit GC like 2-3 seasons ago and I'm struggling to get back up there. What do I do?
can any of you guys pls add me to help me with speed flips idk what im doing wrong

Tips for getting better car control
lf someone to coach me on how to get better at air dribbles i can show u 2 clips
whats your rank
plat 2
you dont need air dribbles to go to diamond
ok
Hello
maybe if you are going to champ but even then I would focus on more stuff
maybe focus on finishing that could be good
go into freeplay and try to score in the corners
Okay how do you do your speed flips?
can i send you a clip
I just hit diamond but I keep on losing them going back up to diamond any tips on how to stay in diamond
Sure
finishing
.
Also are you using air roll right or left?
idk
Because I use air roll left
Okay that’s your first issue. Do you have any directional air roll?
Not free air roll btw
Hey for any mechanically gifted players that can spin the whole time they air dribble or just play any aerial while using directional air roll. Im about id say 25 hours into learning how to use Directional air roll and I use air roll right but my question is: Do you guys look at your car a lot to tell the direction its facing? I've been doing this some but not a whole lot, ive just been moving the joystick and seeing what happens, and now I have a decent understanding but I want to see how far I can go in this game so any tips will help!
Can anyone help I can’t seem to get out of diamond
I just keep my eyes on the ball when air dribbling, also looking ahead to see what the opponents are doing
and when I freestyle I just keep looking at the ball
I mean that makes sense but like idk
Its just that ive been doing rings maps, training packs, freeplay, and a ton of cas just to understand this better and it seems that I have hit a roadblock at least for the moment.
Im honestly impressed and never thought I would make it as far as I have come now, like I can chase the ball off the wall for an air dribble and usually keep up with it, but I can never make it in the net, I always go off course, and I see people that make videos about this only pushing the joystick one direction only, instead of moving the joystick around a lot like I do.
heyo art
ngl i just muscle memory it out lmao
hell yeah keep it going
#1 tip to learning micro corrections for directional air roll is to just spam ur stick in different directions until you learn what does what
haha fr
Anyone here can help me
otherwise its so overly complicated to have to look at ur car to know how to move it
what platform r u on
Is there any good training maps to help me improve I've been in a training pack called "aerial shots - pass" for an hour and have pretty much mastered it lol I need some new ones that cover pretty much everything
I wanna have a routine sort of thing
Like 45min-1hr training then idk like 2 casual games and then 3 comp
Just need a training map really
tbh just play more games than training
Ps
would you say you're lacking on the game sense or mechanical side?
Can anybody help im lacking badly went from c3 div 4 to div 1 any tips u can help with?
honestly that kind of drop is normal
Ik but it has happened for 3 weeks dont think that normal
dropping every now and then is normal
Been constantly tho
yeah that might be your current peak then
Na my peak is 1440
you'll be floating around c3 until you get good enough to break through
yeah you'll be floating around your peak
Aight
Thanks for help appreciate it
are you more mechanical or do you think of yourself as a more of a game sense player?
Half of both
do you have an idea if either is lacking for your current rank?
No just happened out of no where im getting 8 hours or more of sleep still dk what causing it
alr in that case it should be a matter of time you reach gc
Either that or I stopped training basic stuff as often and need get bk in there
Fr
I train those for 15 mins then dribbling & air control anything else im missing I should train?
I mean that covers the basics tbh
you could train recoveries if you feel you're lacking on that front but I don't think it's super important to exclusively train them
I’m not lacking I think I looking for good tm8s that won’t sell me
I mean if you can't climb out of diamond solo q even without the best teammates you're definitely lacking
everyone is lacking, just wanna know which one do you think you're lacking more
Exactly that’s why I want good tm8s
so you don't want to personally improve?
So u want me to 1v2?
that's not what I'm saying
R u saying I’m the problem?
what's up with people taking everything personally on this server
What rank are you?
idk why u saying I need to improve
I told you I want good tm8s
Maybe in the future when I hit champ
Diamond 1
You could be Firstkiller and I'd still tell you that you need to improve tbf.
you can't hit champ without personally improving
Bro I played in champ lobby’s before I think I’m better than my rank
In the end you can't control your teammates yourself, you can only control their ability through your own ability.
every diamond says that
a true c1 can hit at least d2 even with terrible terrible teammates
realistically a c1 can solo queue to c1 ofc
Aight ty for help man😃
hey no worries gl on the grind man!
Thanks
Alright, bet. I have an alt account that's Champ that I play KBM on. If you can hang with it, then we'll see.
What region r u
OCE, but I'm happy to play whatever you're comfortable with
I’m nae
No worries, maybe NA Central now that exists?
Ok
I'll DM you
K
hey is someone able to coach me on my flicks, I’m able to dribble very good but I’m having trouble finding the “sweet spot” for flicking the ball.
If anyone wants help critiquing your in game decisions or improving your mechanics (Freestyling mechanics or Competitive mechanics) anywhere from air dribbling to quad flip resets in a PM, DM me NAE.
Or if anyone else has some wild mechanics we can run casual and you can help me freestyle with some tips and recommendations.
@umbral roost what do u mean bad at trying to become better
Do you fail to grind or train or do u do those but feel like ur not improving ?
You could be more specific
i got called a smrf cos im on my alt 💀 champs are that braindead
i mean how r they supposed to know
Good question
ever so slightly mechanical = ssl to champs apparently
I mean whose gonna pull up rl tracker in the middle of a game and/ or remember your user later on
Interesting
As a diamond I find that surprising
getting a washed gc in ur lobby is the worst u can ask for
if i have a ex gc in my team i might aswell leave
the amount of smurfs in diamond is crazy bruh, I’ve ran into 3 games in a row with all Smurfs, I ain’t never getting champ
so diamonds can double flip reset?
i could
champs just as bad
u said ur on an alt in champ
im champ on both
my peaks 1306
champ 3?
yh
honestly if I get champ in rocket league that’s where my career ends
thats what i said now im hardstuck champ
gold-c3 is gamesense
What region?
eu
☕️
Dm
better than being hard stuck diamond 😭
rip
low key i feel like when I get people from the looking for group I get scammed, normal teammate, or some dude that carries me. One time I played with plat that said he was diamond and after the match he was plat 2 💀
i might sound dumb but anyone have any mental advice? Im gc1 but I feel like I am actually terrible which ik gc1 isnt amazing but i feel like I should be so much better as a player
I’m gc1 atm too but honestly if u keep at trying to improve u will get better so ig just be more confident and positive
I think you just need to have more appreciation for just how good you actually are. As it stands GC1 is the top 0.6% in the entire world.
Means you can go into a room of 200 random Rocket League players and it's even money that you'll be the only GC in the room.
Really think, can you claim to be even Top 1% in anything else you've ever done? If so, how proud are you of that achievement, or how proud would you be if you were to achieve that in anything other than video games?
how do i make a post in looking for group?
/looking for group
gc1 is like 2%
I mean im happy that im gc1 and ik its just a video game but when I play I know what im doing wrong and I just cant correct it and I guess i just beat myself up mentally. I think I just set my expectations to high cause(not trying to flex at all im talking about sitting at my desk and looking at pixels lmao) I use to be top 500 in fortnite at one point and ever since then I just have really high expectations for myself in games.
How long ago were you Top 500 in Fortnite?
it was like 3 years ago now im complete garbage lmao
im gc1 if youre willing to grind and help eachother
gc1 is top. 2%
Will point you to it as well @untold lava
rl tracker says different
RL Tracker is wrong.
It only tracks people who have been searched on the site, not every single player who plays an RL match.
according to tracker its 2% also i think its increased this season, lots of people moved into gc this season including me
rl tracker said i was diamond 3 in 1s when i was c2
ohh
Id be down I just need a break from comp tonight
It literally says it on the distribution section. Players tracked, not players total.
how many comp matches do you even play per session?
Plus it's only tracking 4 million players. It's pretty verifiable that RL's getting at minimum 10 million per month.
Pre-F2P it was getting about 6.5 million so it's not even getting that sample size.
yeah ig
im just getting back into comp I got 36 games played this season for 2s
I usually just play cas cause nobody really types when they are pissed off lmao
If you want to actually rank up, make sure 80% of your playtime is training
wdym by training like freeplay or an actual routine
then play some comps, then watch a replay where you lost a close game in the day
what is a type yall could give to improve car and ball controll with keyboard
not just freeplay, neither a routine, I train different stuff from dribbling in workshop maps, speed and flipresets in freeplay, finishing in training packs
I try to watch my own replays but Its just hard to see what exactly I did wrong since I made those decisions I think they are the right one but obviously they are not
this has increased me +100 mmr within a week
Yeah i gotta do more workshops maps i usually just sit freeplay
I used to be a low c3 like a week ago
I really wouldn't recommend 80% training time.
Unlike a real sport, you don't have to worry about physical recovery or the unavailability of teammates to just play a full-bore match. Matches are 5 minutes, they're easy to play and will give you the raw experience.
It should be more 80% match time if anything else
I feel like i just need to play 1s cause thats definitely my biggest weakness
you have no idea what you are saying
how much ball time are you gonna have in 2s?
?
is it enough to actually improve?
he wants to rank up, playing is not how to rank up unless you are in gold then the more you get better
anyone got any training packs/workshop maps?
You're on the ball the majority of the time in 2s.
Free play ranked doesn't exist.
lol? there are 4 players in the pitch
Training for 80 percent of the day….
does that not get boring?
air roll: rings 3, lethamyrs ring maps
dribbling: dribbling fundamentals
air dribbling: melee maps
And honestly, learning how to actually play the match in front of you is more valuable than skill training when it comes to anything below the top 0.1%.
those are the ones i use
I'm not saying be completely neglectful of your skills, but it shouldn't be the priority when you're in a video game where your ability can be tested instantly with no repercussions in a match.
Yeah, and it's not a free for all. In 2s you're either directly attacking the ball or will be within seconds and are manuevering to be in the right place.
Thank you very much I appreciate it
its obviously does, my routine works great for me atleast and when im ready to play I easily can win majority of the games
There is no free play or custom map in existence yet to train rotations, tactics and game sense.
i thought watching replays had no purpose??
They have a purpose, but obviously staring at replays longer than you actually play won't tend to pay dividends, at least in terms of being efficient.
can someone come coach me plz?
the #1 thing I have issues with is positioning cause I feel like I just kinda play on autopilot
I think i should definitley just play comp alot more cause obviously in casual you are getting a bunch of different ranks and that doesnt really help
but mechanically im not terrible i can triple reset and all that but mechanics can only take u so far
and when playing in 2s for example, what should i aim for if im diamond?
you have to understand that if you play 50 games a day you wont randomly know how to air dribble, flip reset, flick, etc unless you try those in game which will have consequences if you fail,
its a balance and the mechanics generally take much longer to get a grip of and master and training is much more efficient, then you can add it with gamesense so youre not constantly ballchasing in an actual game or not knowing how to defend properly
which goes against your 80%, thats not balanced
read the whole thing : )
balancing is not being equal
You don't need to know how to flip reset to get to GC. That's often the first failing of players is that they believe they require high level mechanics and so unbalance their time spent in training to get those mechanics, while completely neglecting virtually every other ability.
what
the typin 💀, they boutta send the bible in chapters
like what specifically?
i dont think u really need mechanics to get to gc besides like the basic things like flicks but mechs definitley help
what do you think the criteria is to get into gc?
Having been coaching Diamonds recently, I think it mostly comes down to their defensive abilities than anything else.
Diamonds need to be comfortable with making defensive plays that they're normally uncomfortable with, that will include aerial and backboard. Learning to shadow defend properly. A good counterattack is basically unbeatable, and that's the best way to progress imo.
it's not about getting to gc it's about gettin out of gc, he's already a gc, mechanics are now starting to get required, players know how to defend properly you won't be able to score random goals like in diamond, it's about precision with flicks air and so on
Learning that can allow a player to be more patient, make less rash decisions that will often cause goals
imo
rotations, teamplay, shooting, defending, backboard play, 1v1s on defense and offense,pressure
how do i learn smth like that?
Play either 1v1 or 2v2, whatever is your personal preference.
While you should still practice matches the most, there are good custom trainings for backboard and aerial defence.
Learning how to half flip and then track back for the save is something good to learn as well to teach snap decision making.
try to pay attention to where the other team is and how much space u have
oh my b
im braindead
As for shadow defence, it's all about learning what your opponent can do.
If you can determine if they can flick the ball, where they may place it, that will pay off.
As obviously having no clue what they might do will mean you probably get scored on outside of sheer luck.
alr ty, appreciate it, i just reached diamond and something i also learned is that solo quequing is holding me back, i can keep up on d3 lobbies and win sometimes, but im still stuck in d1 and sometimes i go down to p3, but i started taking the game seriously recently, so hope to get better
whats the best way to defend an air dribble bump
watch rw9
When you first encounter them they'll tend to be pretty clumsy. Too early, not close enough to the ball, etc.
Generally delaying your jump until they go past you is the best method. An air dribble bump is designed to make the opponent think they have no choice but to jump.
You can even try going over them but that won't succeed anywhere near as much unless they really screw it up.
dont do what i do sometimes and blame your tm8s if you lost a game that means that u went wrong some where aswell that led to a goal you also gotta try to adapt to your tm8
alright thanks
What I like to do if I meet somebody who tries to air dribble bump is to cut around late so I can get an angle where I am unbumpable and get a good clear.
could u send some
It's hard to hone the skill to recognise when they're going to try an air dribble bump though, and that can become less effective if they have enough control
why waste 10 mins training half flips just play 2 games instead ?
yhyh, sometimes i know i do sell, and chase without noticing it, but solo queque sometimes is wild, and i think its better to have a duo or sum like that yk
you get rotation defending and attacking knowledge with game sense and get ability to read the ball!
Because like any skill you need to start in a controlled environment and then progress.
yeah its 100% alot easier when u r q'ing with someone
anyways how long you've been in low gc2?
Bro I’m in the same position I think
play w each other
Nah not on rn maybe tmrw
Well I can't say I'm low GC2, at least not with any regularity. I poke my head into it a couple times a season maybe.
btw is it real what they say that we should play placement games after the season begins? i saw in a vid that is easier if u let a few days go by and wait to do them
mid-high GC1 is more accurate
how long?
Over 4 years at this point
tomorrow if u want in free i think
yeah cause everyone is doing their placements
not saying that in a snobby way btw lmao
Maybe just dm me so I remember
you think you would've stayed in the same rank if you spent more time training at the cost of playing?
getting out of gc is a long road
The fact that I cannot put in as much time as a 23 year old as I did when I was a minor says I would have stayed in the same rank regardless.
alr bet bet, ty
ill add u and tomorrow ill text u if im free
what does it have to do with what I said
The fact is that GC was only the top 1.1% or so when I got it, and now it's literally twice as hard to achieve it, so I've still progressed to my personal satisfaction.
if anything tbh freeplay kinda screwed me cause my boost managment is bad and I go for things that i cant really do with 100 boost
But I'd need to produce time that I do not have to get any higher.
