1s are the best way to improve your skills tho
but you can work on your car control and basic ball control
so you can focus more easily on your opponent when you start playing 1s

I had the same issue
ik how you feel

What ping do you usually play with?

Hmm i played all my life with bad connection. And rl form 2017 to january this year but i got up till c3 solo queuing. And i could play there in season 3-5 with 120 ping that jumps around. Its annoying yeah but definetly possible

U gotta play around ur ping tho

So u need a decent teammate

Challenging or controlling is very hard with a high ping so i just forced good so my m8 can get it and played defensive while trying to intercept shots very early as a delayed shot is hard to save

When and where

[chrome current]

Hey, I'm a low-rank player with bad mechs but I'm working on that on my own. I'd appreciate it if someone who is high-rank with a high level of game sense could give me some pointers in some scenarios. ( Recently I've come to the realization that without game sense mechanics are useless )

[primal zenith]

I'm on now coaching I will dm you

[primal zenith]

I can coach

[zenith delta]

I’m struggling to break a certain mmr any high level players can give advice?

[primal zenith]

What's ur mmr

[zenith delta]

Idk I gotta check

[barren mango]

Bet

[primal zenith]

I dm both of you

[chrome current]

do you have a rank req

[ivory wren]

depends, i feel that boost management and awareness are key no matter whats ur rank

even if u tryna reach ssl

[modest yew]

can anyone pls tell me if R1 is good for booting button?

[fierce raft]

it is good

[modest yew]

what abt the other air roll button?

[cyan sage]

l1 is what most people will use

[fierce raft]

i have neutral air roll as L1 and air roll left as Square

[potent valve]

Does anyone need coaching?

[modest yew]

yeah i use L1 too but like when i was in in game it feelt weird bc i only had 1 air roll

[fierce raft]

yeah, you need the neutral air roll and a directional air roll

i personally use left air roll :p

[modest yew]

what do u think i should the other air roll too?

[fierce raft]

yeah

[modest yew]

idk witch tho

[fierce raft]

try both and see which is more natural to you

for me, left felt more natural and i prefered it

[zenith delta]

My air roll is X

Boost on R2 and triangle to drive

[modest yew]

L1 is the one i use tho bc i use R1 to boost

so like idk what to use the oter air roll too

[zenith delta]

Just don’t air roll 🥸

Too much complicating the game

Is direction air roll better for air dribbling and good car control?

I just use L2 to air roll on PlayStation and I’m hard stuck diamond 3 hit champ 1 then went back down cuz I think it’s my mechanics that are holding me back

[fossil plaza]

id say directional air roll is better but also im not really too sure how to use normal air roll effectively

[raw sky]

What’s the best controls for a ps5 controller maybe L1 and R1 for air roll?

I hit champ 1 and got knocked out after a few games I think it’s my mechs I can’t speed flip air dribble that well etc

[ivory wren]

why would u want air roll right and left?

[raw sky]

My game sense is solid and I’m not good at defending flicks any tips?

Idk I just use L2 to air roll and it’s not that easy

[ivory wren]

shadow defense

[raw sky]

People say directional is better

Problem is I’ll see someone going for a flick and I don’t jump

[fossil plaza]

for aerial mechs and speedflips id say directrional is better but for recoveries i think most peolple use normal

[raw sky]

So I don’t need directional to hit champ or stay in it?

It’s like I peaked in not getting that much better idk

[fossil plaza]

not really but a lot of people recommend to learn at least one

[raw sky]

Is there a goalie training pack for flicks

I struggle on defense more so then offense id say

[fossil plaza]

i think almost any work but there is this training pack thing in the pins of this channel https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RZebwwQHvXgPm_TodWLOHJbBihqXAYdfIZDEMG87Veo/edit?usp=sharing

Guys, as a right hand claw player on Xbox , is it suggested to change up binds? because I play with default binds.

I play right hand claw on Xbox but i don’t know what good binds there are for use

[pure plume]

claw is bad

[pale arch]

I need someone to watch a replay of mine and give me all the things I'm messing up at.. 'cause I just can't see it on my own

[cyan sage]

Is there anybody GC+ here? I want to ask one simple question about a specific mechanic.

[pure plume]

what is it

[cyan sage]

It would be better if I screenshared to show you.

[pure plume]

I'm in a call with some friends rn

[glass depot]

i sent u a msg

[pure plume]

lb is fine for air roll

what are your current binds?

I mean what are your current binds

it's better to just mold your current ones

[cyan sage]

Anyone dedicated that needs help hit me up 🙂

[pure plume]

idk what the default ones are nowadays they changed it a while back

isn't default air roll square anyways?

otherwise default?

lb

but do you mean directional air roll or free roll?

free roll rolls your car towards the direction your joystick is facing

directional left/right spins your car left/right if you don't move your joystick

and a combination of the joystick movement + left/right if you do

[primal zenith]

Rl coach I'm gc2 currently let me know if you need help

[pure plume]

uh either

directional is better to learn though

[glass depot]

I'm a KBM player i cant help you with controller.

[cyan sage]

how do u call: u on the wall and flick to the ball and get the flipreset

[glass depot]

Keyboard and mouse,

[pure plume]

you mean flip to get the reset?

[silver surge]

Your wierd buddy

[cyan sage]

yeah

[pure plume]

then it's a rapid reset

[cyan sage]

not no basic flipreset where use boost to get the flipreset

[pure plume]

most likely

[cyan sage]

i see tghanks

hello

[clever umbra]

hey so i keep hitting diamond but then drop right back to plat at first i thought it was my teamates selling but it happens so much that it might be my fault any coachs here?

[cyan sage]

skill issue that one

[clever umbra]

oh ok

but i can keep up in champ lobbys but keep dropping out of diamond my friends champ so ill sometimes play 2s with him

and when i play with him well win game after game

[sour crest]

i do this in gc still my brother thinks im trash 😂

[cyan sage]

Are there any SSLs here? I want to ask one question.

[native kettle]

Can some train me and my friend

[clever umbra]

what rank

[rough galleon]

that will typically happen cause its in the rankup zone, this is where most people get 'hardstuck' to get through it you need to play consistently better than you did, diamond going for power shots keeping possession, and key rotation

[clever umbra]

ok thank you

idk i feel like i overal play well in that case tho

[rough galleon]

ya its really tough in all ranks this area cause its mixed with so many different skill level players, its up to luck and consistency to get through

[clever umbra]

ok thank you

[cyan sage]

Are there any GC players here that I can screenshare to? I need help with figuring out a specific mechanic.

Or even better, a private match.

I’m hard stuck diamond 3

Don’t understand

[timber ocean]

True true, thanks 🙏

[raw sky]

Can anyone give me tips to get into/stay in chemp

Champ

[analog beacon]

tips on how to not get pos trash ass mf tm8s?

@raw sky all you really need is hit the ball and have good rotation thats all champ 1 is

[raw sky]

I do

I play with randoms

I win when I play with this one guy but he’s not on all the time

[analog beacon]

to stay in it...GL filled with a bunch of trashcans that dont belong there

[raw sky]

Ya I get teammates that ball chase

It’s so annoying

[analog beacon]

yea i win when ive got a tm8 that knows when to chal

i ball chase effectively sometimes

[raw sky]

Ya I get that but I get dudes that don’t get off the ball

[analog beacon]

meaning if my tm8 realizes what im doing and just plays safe then i can force the other team 90% the time into putting them in an awkward position

oh thats not me

[raw sky]

Diamond 3 is wierd I either get someone good or bad no in between

[analog beacon]

if im going for the ball its because i dont trust you or i have a better setup that you might not notice

fr

[raw sky]

Should I learn speed flip

And is directional air roll the move ?

[analog beacon]

just got on and lost 3 games cuz of some azz tm8s ontop that i cant even look for a group theres no option for central servers or even to give a description of what ur looking for

what a joke on this server cant believe they still havent changed that

[raw sky]

What’s your rank

[analog beacon]

c3-gc1

[raw sky]

Oh damn

[analog beacon]

but thats not what im at rn

im at c2 cuz my tm8s r garbage all day

[raw sky]

Don u air dribble cuz I don’t

[analog beacon]

yes

[raw sky]

Is my mechs why I’m hardstuck Diamond 3

[analog beacon]

all the time full court dribble with a double tap or dunk

ez

[raw sky]

I hot champ 1 Div 1 the other day then went back down

[analog beacon]

can you consistently hit the ball or 50 it when its in the air?

[raw sky]

Ya I’m pretty consistent hitting the ball

[analog beacon]

then no your game sense needs work

[raw sky]

My game sense is good

It’s my mechs

[analog beacon]

might be but could improve dont argue im just tryign to help

[raw sky]

I can’t air dribble speed flip none of that

I don’t use wave dash

I’m good at aerials

[analog beacon]

i couldnt and i hit c3 d2 off of just good rotates and challenges

[raw sky]

I think my game sense is good I think it’s my mechs and goalie

[analog beacon]

i couldnt air dribble flip reset or double tap

[strong saddle]

Do not own goal.

[raw sky]

I don’t

I have problems defending flicks

[analog beacon]

but now im doing all that and more consistently

[raw sky]

I have a bad habit of not jumping

That’s the shot I suck at defending is flicks I’d rather save any other shot then that

[analog beacon]

flicks kinda ez for the most part at low ranks like diamond and champ just get a feel for the player and throw some fake challenges their way and watch them squirm

litteraly to get better ur self u need to sharpen you weapons you do have(the mechs you have, make your self more consistent) and continue to add new weapons to your arsenal aka mechs

and dont get tilted if you do, just do like me hop on the discord server and rant until youve calmed down

[silver surge]

real.

[astral cedar]

@raw sky jump when they jump double jump when you hear the sound fx of a flip

ideally if one is shadow defending the other guy should be on them , the flick usually is high so assume that and you will be fine for the most part. when you shadow defend them fake challenge to get them to flick the ball farther out from the play, and if your first man pushing them go for them not the ball you woulndt want them to have a follow up from the flick, my experience based on solo queing plays from a c2 perspective

[austere ibex]

anyone willing to do some replay analasis or some coaching/positioning/rotations?

[cyan sage]

Anybody???

[molten cipher]

What should I do to get outa plat I’m honestly too good for this 😭😭 I can proof it to

[cyan sage]

can someone coach me im d3, im very mechy so it must be my game sense. i just wanna know whats keeping me in diamond?

[green nymph]

I just need some motivation. I haven’t touched this game in years, but it’s on the roster for our schools esports team. I don’t want to let them down but I’m literally so trash

[cyan sage]

Watch your own replays.

[lavish comet]

So I have gotten to a point to where I can put the ball into position for aerial and adjust my car in the air to prepare, but how do I go about actually being able to keep up with the ball and start hitting it more towards the goal

[wanton torrent]

hit ball with car but under it

[lavish comet]

I'm doing that but I only get like 1 or two hits before I'm either too far from it or ahead of the ball

I also just hit a accidental double touch into the goal Yippiee

[cyan sage]

feather boost, get softer touches

[lavish comet]

I'll try that

[cyan sage]

get under it more

might be that ur behind the ball instead of under

during the actual carry try to stay under, only go behind it when going for the shot/last touch

[knotty skiff]

why do i always get beat in the air?

im always first to jump but the other person always gets there first

[lavish comet]

Speed Aerial. I think you jump once and aim up, then let go of your joystick, jump and boost at the same time then u can use the joystick again

[knotty skiff]

speed aerial?

so ur tellin me im c2 and i havent been knowing that this entire time😭 thank you

[cyan sage]

if ur opponent has more momentum it doesnt matter who jumped first, try to keep ur momentum going up for it

Is there anybody GC+ here I can ask about a specific mechanic?

[cyan sage]

sure

[cyan sage]

@cyan sage Check your Discord direct messages.

[tough wadi]

how do you hit open nets in champ

[raw sky]

Best air roll for ps5 controller?

L1 and R1 or L2 and r2?

[lavish comet]

I usually just assign it to one trigger

Rn that's l2

[raw sky]

Ya but I can’t air dribble with l2

I think I need to switch to directional have alrsud got 2 flip resets bad ones with directional

Is L1 as main and the. L1 left and right R1 a good combo?

[knotty skiff]

whats the top 3 things i need to master to get out of champ

[atomic spade]

ye i need tips for that too

[raw sky]

Can someone help that sir dribbles in here

Do I use just the left and right air roll and leave the main one empty ?

[knotty skiff]

u tryna play and help each other?

[raw sky]

Or use all 3 for directional

Anyone play on PlayStation that can help me train air dribbles

[spiral juniper]

use on directiona dn free

[atomic spade]

i fell back to d3 cause i havent played in a year i just need to get used to the game again. but peak rank is champ 2

[spiral juniper]

no it aint

[cyan sage]

Okay let me ask again here. Is there any GC+ players that I can ask help for a specific mechanic that won't ghost me the second I tell them the mechanic?

[trail folio]

just score

put the ball into the net,,,

[sick plover]

is it a freestyle mech? if so go watch a tutorial dude

[cyan sage]

I wouldn't be asking here if I did not watch any YouTube tutorials about it yet.

[sick plover]

okay then say the mech instead of being weird like this

[cyan sage]

How am I being weird?

[sick plover]

state your question

[cyan sage]

Will you help or just look up a YouTube tutorial I already watched?

[sick plover]

say the mech

[cyan sage]

Tell me first.

[sick plover]

depends if its a freestyle mech or not dsnt it

so say the mech

[cyan sage]

360 degree dribble.

[sick plover]

hold drift and practice, literally nothing special about the mech, just get better ground control.

[cyan sage]

I literally just tested you. I can do the mechanic. There are ways on doing it better. bad advice.

gg

See ya 👋

[sick plover]

okay bro😭 say the advice that is better then

its literally a 360 dribble, its all about practice and ground control

there are no tricks lil homie

[flint bear]

Every game I go into has a smurf or something like that. I'm in champ 1 and I keep getting people who are formerly GC1 or smurfs, please how do I win?

[pale path]

there's no real answer apart from get better and beat the smurfs...unless u wanna get boosted

[flint bear]

What is boosted?

[pale path]

it's bannable. basically u queue the game with a smurf

[flint bear]

Oh

I don't want that, im trying to beat them

[pale path]

i guess just look up advice on how to beat anyone from champ up, im not good enough to give constructive advice, maybe u could also try queueing with a tm8 with comms or something

[split knoll]

Is there anyone her in OCE

[ivory wren]

xd

[cyan sage]

It's bannable hm? I can get a pro banned, plus how many SSLs now? xD

I won't though, cause I really do not care anymore honestly.

[quasi remnant]

Nobody is OCE in this discord 😉 , better off going to RLO

[quasi remnant]

Yes It's bannable, but the chances of getting caught are like extremely small.

[cyan sage]

I literally have their Discord and usernames.

LMAO.

[quasi remnant]

And hundreds of people have been carried* and I'm still here lmfao

🤙

[cyan sage]

Ayo what?

Mods, twist this dude's wheels.

[quasi remnant]

I'll reword it so people don't flip their cars

[cyan sage]

Nah, you should demo yourself NOW!

xD

[oak glacier]

im so tired of ranked these players are so brain dead

its actually unbearable this entire season

[ivory wren]

i havent seen many boosted accs get banned tho

since they usually get back to their common rank again

[next brook]

im hardstuck in diamond 2 what are some tips u guys think can rank me up to c1?

[oak glacier]

uninstall this trash game because its never getting better ever

every rank past that has worse and worse tm8s and opponents

[dusky fiber]

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, there will be ups and downs so dont give up

[rustic fern]

I'm plat 3/dia 1 hardstuck. I have fairly good mechs. at least for my rank. I can get up too dia 1 d3 but I cant get passed that.

it seems no matter what I do I cant go up in rank.

[rough galleon]

1s 2s or 3s?

[rustic fern]

2s

I'm also dia 1 in 3s but I don't play them as much

@rough galleon another thing is with everyone I play with I try to set up for a pass but no one passes. unless I'm playing with my 3s partner which is a champ

[rough galleon]

ya so basically, majority of plats do not understand on how to rotate, and since you are in low diamond there will still be a lot of plats. U need to learn to control the ball and take your own time going for your own shot, unless you know your teammate is in position to hit the ball dont

[rustic fern]

I control the ball when I can, but everyone ball chases so I just get 50'd ever time I get pos.

unless im doing some type of Ariel from side wall I just get pre jumped or early contested

[next brook]

k thx

[fierce current]

Any tips for champ

[rough galleon]

use that against them, try faking them, or if they ball chase make them 50 you near your corner so you can then power shot it to their net without them defending

[rustic fern]

alright

[shut crypt]

Dont always expect ur teammates to do everything. Be a bit selfish. Not as in stealing the ball from ur tm8s; but to imagine what u would do if they wiff (mess up). And don’t go 4 crazy shots or clips. Practice flicks, rotation, power shots, shots from different angles and game sense

[dusky fiber]

cant vc rn but its usually all about the set up

[rough galleon]

go faster up to the ball, if you want a nice bump up boost when u hit the ball, you want your first touch to be at or before its peak of its arch

[dusky fiber]

i dont know a workshop map, but be careful using training packs for example as the set up there is done for u and then u cant use it in game

[rough galleon]

what most people get wrong is that they feather the boost, that works for control, if you want to get height u need power and you get that from momentum

if you feather your boost you lose your momentum

is this from the wall?

focus on one cause a floor setup and wall setup uses different movements

[dusky fiber]

from wall get in a similar speed as the ball and jump as soona s u touch it, then u should already be close and just need to tap it, from floor u set it up then u waste much boost to get there and then u slow down and dribble, if u try catching it in air and start a dribble u need to waste much more boost because as soon as u touch it u will loose much momentum to catch it so u try to boost to get there and dont fall off

[teal helm]

you have to hit it from below to gain height

youre hitting it from the side/bottom side, you’ll push it away instead of up

[dusky fiber]

wdym comijng torwards u? if u set it up it shopuld have that front movement, so then boost a lot to get there and then when u are there slow down and start the dribble, just dont wait until the ball is falling try getting there when the ball has tat "up-movement" then its ez to catch it @fallen ice

[teal helm]

can you show an example in #gameplay-highlights

you have to select a role first to post there btw #set-roles

[dusky fiber]

i mean that map isnt that good for in game cause u dont have that set up, but in this case there u need to boost a lot more, try to bang the ball up and be faster, if u catch it when it already has that down movement it just makes it more hard, but as i said if u want to improve your in game air dribble skills i would rather use freeplay

and u take too lonf in recovering when u touch the ball, need to be faster on that too in this map

all about the set up, u ever tried setting it up on your own?

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

[rough galleon]

idk if anyone already said it but again if you want it to bounce up you need to boost through the ball

[dusky fiber]

first try was not that great it looked like u stayed a bit too close then u went forwards/bachwards and u jumped too late, the second try looked good, just set it up a bit more in the goals direction thten its easier for yourself

[unreal quarry]

i just reached diamond and im sick of losing all the time what is the best training pack to use to get to dia 2?

so i have to train powershots and earlier passes?

[dusky fiber]

yh happens, always depends what u focus on, when i saw the vid and your rotation1 thing. idk if u can do it by nown but have a look into the "speedflip" makes your rotations better then these front/diagonal flicks u were doping there

[unreal quarry]

are they training packs or workshop maps?.

[dusky fiber]

1s

[unreal quarry]

??

[dusky fiber]

play more 1s rather then using a training packs and learning some mechnics, u will get in those 1v1s a lot in dia/champ elo so its know that u are capable of playing 1v1 and receiving less goals, also has many other benefits as improving kick offs, dribblings, shadow defense, etc...

yh can rlly help u with the rotation on the field tho

[unreal quarry]

ive never played 1s in my life except for like custom matches

i only play 2s

[dusky fiber]

then it might be time, ik its not that fun like 2s or 3s, but rlly helps individually

yh u can do that here and there, but less priority, ur air roll looks alright in the dribble, no need for crazy spins, if u can do the air dribble forwards, try doing it backwards,

if u can do it forwards and backwards with small air roll adjustments u are good to go

np good night take care

[heady elk]

can anyone coach me

[next spindle]

anyone ssl that can coach me

[twilit ravine]

anyone got training packs for shot accuracy and power im d1

[next spindle]

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

[twilit ravine]

thanks ill try it

[ivory wren]

play 1s then

[cloud delta]

Hey, im looking aroung for coahing and i am wondering if anywone could help? Im c2 and main 2´s

[lapis compass]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tropic needle]

Kbm coach?

[limber river]

Anyone got a alt

[tropic needle]

KBM coach (Currently D2) I feel as if KBM is just too jumpy, barely any time to make inputs

[neon needle]

this sounds dumb, but why am I losing my flip so fast? I watch videos with play off walls/ceilings, but I feel like I lose my flip within seconds of leaving the ground. Am I missing something or am I just underestimating how fast the guys in these videos are using their flip? Some seem super delayed

[cyan sage]

1.5 seconds

if you fall off the ceiling without jumping you have infinite flip time

same with if you get a flip reset

[fervent cosmos]

LF advice on how to climb to next lvl. i peaked at gc2 this season but fell down to c3. 2s main btw. i want to start maining this game because i have just switched to pc and find it more fun. ve played since 2018 and have 17 days played.

[night sparrow]

hi

[austere ibex]

Just curious if anyone is able to play with me some matches and tell me how i should position myself\

[strong pivot]

Lf free coach to help me with the basics

[neon needle]

Thank you, this line explained the entire issue i was having

[night sparrow]

yhi

[past stratus]

I can't learn air roll for the life of me, how do I do it

[velvet mirage]

fail, like, a lot

[dusky fiber]

how is your 1s rank? 1s can be a good opportunity to get better in 2s and improve individually, but always depends where your strenght is. Whats your oppinion what the issue is that u lost your rank?

[lethal kite]

I don't know how to fly with my boost to hit the ball and get a goal!

[ivory wren]

practicing

[fervent cosmos]

in 1s im d2 but ive never really had the patience to play it. i ranked down in 2 from solo q all the time coz ive nevr really had a tm8... im not sayin its all my tm8s fault in solo q coz i make mistakes too but i need someone reliable to play with and actually be my 2s tm8

[dusky fiber]

def have a look into 1s, i know it might not be that much fun but if u are around gc2 in 2s u should at least be c3 in 1s, helps u in many ways i can tell u, and about the teammate situation i understand u, solo q can be very good tho as u improve in many field and have to adapt so u always play a bit diffrent, with the same mate u usually play very similar and improve in few things but not overall, but yh if u are close to the rank u are lets say c3 and u want to reach gc a tm8 u vibe with will prob do the job

[fervent cosmos]

i just cant play ones it makes me suicidal. lol...

[dusky fiber]

yeah i feel u lol for me its also a pain and i barly play it, i mean if u say u are good individually and do perfectly fine in those 1v1 scenarios in 2s, aswell as kick offs, dribbling, shadow defense etc., it will be fine, but its def something that will help u, but always depends what ur struggle is i guess

[shrewd matrix]

Anyone got tips on how to advance mechs and speed from a gc1 level to gc2-gc3? Doesnt have to be flashy just better ball and car control in general.
Training packs with very uncomfortable situations or to control a ball are also welcome

I can already do that

U got default settings?

U mean apparently jack?

[fervent cosmos]

sound im jus gonna q 1s now wish me luck

[dusky fiber]

good luck mate and dont loose hope, ik 1s can be very tilting, goal for u would be around c3-low gc for a gc2 2s rank

[fervent cosmos]

cheers lol

[ivory wren]

well i mean i got faster by doing natural gameplay situations so just play. u can try training packs with many variations too

[steep wraith]

bro not sure if you remember our talk a few days ago, but I just bought razer's deathstalker v2 pro... Rocket League is a new game for me now... holy cow I was playing with my hands tied, how tf did I get to c1 with that...

how do u join a looing for grtoup

[bold token]

how the f do i struggle against plat 1s who are mechanically toddlers in 1s and i have no trouble crapping on people in 2s. Like i know its the skill issue but what am i doing wrong XD, they barely can hit the ball most of the time but still somehow I lose 50% +- games against them

It’s a good skill

Like i geniunely dont understand how can i suck so bad in 1s (even though i never play it) but be okay at 2s. i dont think i should be plat 1 in 1s x.x

[pastel comet]

Hello. A couple of years ago. I said some derogatory words on my rocket league PlayStation account. I really regret it. Because of numerous warnings that I have ignored. Rocket league have permanently banned me. At the time I did not care. Now I am in desperate need of some rocket league. I have matured after these couple of years. And I deserve a final chance as I have copped onto myself and am a new man. Someone please help me. Thank you.

[ivory wren]

ye u need to see what u are doing wrong

no way a c2 gets clapped by a 1s plat

[plush nexus]

i fell from d1 to plat 1 in 2 days

[ivory wren]

have u tried to stop playing when u are in a loss streak?

[plush nexus]

I did ;-;

[ivory wren]

the how u deranked 3 ranks in 2 days 😭?

[zenith delta]

Sheeesh

[plush nexus]

ifgnjfewgtrhuil i love rl thooo

Solo q is fine for me

[bold token]

idk what to tell you man, and that was my peak, honestly i feel like i got lucky on that season. but even diamond 2 shouldnt struggle at plat 1 in 1s so idk whats going on

I took quite long break so i got really rusty

[prisma oak]

anyone know why i can reset on the octane pretty well but it’s much harder on the fennec? I main the fennec so im more used to it than the octane so idk why the octane would be easier.

[plush nexus]

its also with wavedashing on the dominus, fennec, vs octane its cuz the body is higher up and the wheels are lower

[prisma oak]

that’s so weird

like i can barely get resets on the fennec but i can get it almost every time on the octane

the only thing i could think of is the octane has more of a point at the front that i can line up my reset better but idk

[tight plaza]

someone come coach me please.

[ivory wren]

lol

[bold token]

100% lying the gap between gc and diamond is huge XD

[zenith delta]

Bro making u feel better

[broken idol]

Any tips for me i am c1 i like defense more than offense i play loads of ones not very mechanical but very good and consistent at double taps my VERY good at most flicks want to reach gc one day

[analog beacon]

the tip you need is the only way your going to rank up is by practicing & playing and the other thing is to give it TIME!! you dont improve overnight usually it takes a week or 2 depending on how much you play, key thing is dedication. If your dedicated and put in more time any chance you get im certain youll hit gc before you know it.
difference between champ and diamond is champ players have a lot more mechs and reads learned then diamond.
difference between champ and gc is, gc players got their mechs/reads down where they can be more consistent at doing what they plan on doing.

in the end the difference between each rank boils down to every higher rank you try to reach requires better: Mechs, Reads, and Game Sense

[cyan sage]

any tips? im plat 2 and i have been diamond this season i have a hard time ranking up with tm8's who ballchase and steal shots just to hit it poorly

[harsh quarry]

Can any coach watch one of my replays and give me some pointers on things I need to improve?

[potent reef]

From what rank you start to get good at the game?

[zenith delta]

GC

[potent reef]

Bruh thought diamond

[zenith delta]

Diamond is ok

Technically you are better than average if u r high diamond

Whats directional airroll used for?

Is it really better for aerials than joystick airroll?

[velvet mirage]

yeah, it mostly is better. it gives you a greater freedom to do what you need once you learn it, and it makes certain shot setups, like flip resets, a little easier

[candid sequoia]

Can someone help me out platina normal iam a diamond 3 champ 1

[cloud ferry]

can some one help me please, ive been in chamo for about a year and a half now just shuffling between c1 c2 and c3 and all my feirnds say that i could be at least gc2 and when i play with my gc freinds i hold up in their games sometimes ven carry

[potent escarp]

how do i fix fps drops

[eager briar]

hi iu need help

im gold 1

any tips to get to gc in 1 hour

[velvet mirage]

whatever your friends say, its all cap just so they dont insult you, you play well in their lobbies because theyre letting you do everything and you just FEEL amazing and you even get a nice score sometimes, but you wouldnt have gotten anywhere without them there, they set everything up for you and just let you send it. i would know, because back before my controller broke, when i was gc1-gc2, id take my d3-c1 friend into my lobbies sometimes and still win. he'd feel amazing, like he'd be able to absolutely dominate at his own rank, only to go in and lose 4 in a row

[eager briar]

pls

help out of gold 1

me stuck

me played loads of custom training

and none worked and i watched sunlesskhan but he no help

and i watched musty for a whole straight

[cloud ferry]

ty but i mean fr im better than champ n ik thats a champ thing to say bit its true

[velvet mirage]

bro whats your rank

[cloud ferry]

rn only c2

but ive only played a few games this season

[velvet mirage]

what kind of player would you say you are? mechy?

[cloud ferry]

im decent mech wise but my strong ness is in game sence n i have very good positioning with only a few hic ups everyonce in a while

im not bad mech wise lik ei can hit double resets but thats ionly happened a few times

mostly cuz i dont have a lot of space

[velvet mirage]

bro, if your gamesense is your strongsuit, but you can hit double flip resets, youre either lying, or your gamesense isnt nearly as strong as you think it is, because right now, i rank higher than you on literally kbm, im C3, and i can barely hit the ball off the wall, but my gamesense is so good i can keep up anyway

[cloud ferry]

i mean i can show u

im not super warm rn but i can try

[velvet mirage]

aight man, dm me your epic, im not warm either, im actually cooked

[twilit ravine]

best consistency packs for d1?

[vocal shore]

Anyone able to do a small amount of coaching, just wanna get better at either air dribbles or ground dribbles

[cinder sigil]

quickest way to lvl up to lvl 20?

[cinder sigil]

coaching for mechs isnt possible in my opinion just spend bit of time in free play and training oacks

[twilit ravine]

can anyone play ranked with me on a diamond account? im d1 and i think it would help if someone could see how i play to help me get better

[vocal shore]

I'm not ranked rn on this account, need 2 more levels and I'll play

[twilit ravine]

alr

[vocal shore]

I've been ranked diamond so I should be fine

What should my air roll, boost, and power slide button be?

[twilit ravine]

whats ur rank on ur other account?

[twilit ravine]

i hve air roll left l2 boost l1 power slide square

[vocal shore]

It's was rank diamond 1 back in like season 10 or 11

[twilit ravine]

what region

[vocal shore]

Us east

[twilit ravine]

oh im eu

[vocal shore]

Air roll l1, power slide l1, boost r1 right now

@twilit ravine camera settings?

[deft rivet]

Joystick feels more freedom

[atomic spade]

how do i hit my first flip reset.

[severe arch]

go up the wall

turn your car upside down

and get the reset

[primal zenith]

lol

[vocal shore]

Just got my first flip reset goal

And on purpose 😄

[stuck creek]

😂

[wise smelt]

aim for a reset behind the ball so u can adjust and flip into it and score

[tropic needle]

Can I get someone that’s in decently high casual games? Like c1-3

[obtuse grail]

yes

join vc

[whole agate]

i have a question to speed aerial the most efficiently do you have to jump first i boost tilt and then use the jumps but i feel like i’m doing it wrong anyone got tips

[calm geode]

hold your stick down before your first jump and then press jump again right after you tilt to the angle you want is fastest i think

[whole agate]

so tilt jump boost jump?

i have boost on circle and jump on x i gotta button mash right

[calm geode]

yes i use it on rb i could see how it would be harder but it does take getting used to letting go of the tilt before hitting the second jump

[vernal sequoia]

how can I experience a high level lobby

random privates?

[atomic spade]

anybody here speedflip with free air roll

[toxic kiln]

how do i straigthen my car out after i get the flip cancel cuz it like lands weird sometimes

[loud osprey]

Ok but how does that help me get back up?

[analog beacon]

everyplayer i solo q and get is dog sit

[shrewd matrix]

Nah

[ivory wren]

doesnt help u to back up but to do not derank 2 ranks in 3 days

[zenith sundial]

oi im an old gc3, happy to do a replay review or coaching session if anyone is interested

[mortal otter]

i was gc2 div 3 for in season 11 im champ 1 now just wanna feel a gc lobby again i miss it and wanna see if someone is willing to let me if they have an alt or something if so i really appreciate it i wanna get back into the game

[tight plaza]

wanna try a ssl lobby?

[mortal otter]

im not good enough

trust me im bad

[ivory wren]

i read gold 3 lol

[fluid epoch]

I mean there are ssls who don’t understand how or when to challenge

But they have good ahh mechanics

So if you just know how and when to challenge ur already gonna have a leg up on everyone else including some SSLs

[zenith sundial]

My main account is Okki Finn you can look at me in rocket league tracker. Just tryna help people rank up

[formal turret]

How does that even happen

[twilit ravine]

if im moving to the right and air rolling left on a 45 flick do i diagonal back flip to the right?

[flat dew]

no

[flat dew]

mechs do NOT translate to skill

[west flame]

New revelation

[bold token]

is forcing myself to play 1s every day gonna improve me when my main goal is to play 2s

or am i kicking a dead horse

yeah that parts lil too clear... im absolute trash in 1s im sturggling on plat 2 atm in there :D

[severe pond]

Slowin what rank r u

Alr

I hate 1s

Waut

[bold token]

I mean after just playing 1s yesterday I feel like it made me alot more confident in my games when my friend came online, theyre way more inexperienced at the game but i lowkey feel like the 1s games made it way easier to carry them in games and my playstyle more confident

it definetly makes you work hard on those recoveries XDDD

you wiff even a little bit youre gonna be scrambling your best recoveries known to man

[severe pond]

Alr

Can anyone of u coach me please

I'm p3

[bold token]

honestly i feel like in 2s theres been alot times when my teammate has covered for my mistakes and i should just spam 1s for like month and turn that around

1s just pisses me off way too much because most of the goals on my side are small mistakes i make and even if i make perfect recovery i just cant get there in time

but its definetly improving the fact that all the mechanics i do i need to do under pressure so it might make me perform them better eventually

oh jesus yeah kickoffs..... 1s made me realize how bad ive been doing them so far

getting dribble going is bit difficult when the balls dead, gotta check if theyre aggroing or not if i have time to get one going lol

[ivory wren]

what rank?

[flat dew]

debatable for shitters

ur c2 for sure

[severe pond]

I'm p2 I know but I do double flip resets and it does not equal to skill

[flat dew]

skill to get hardstuck

[bold token]

knowing how to do mechanic and knowing how to actually use it for your advantage is definetly difference between plat freestylers and higher rank players

[severe pond]

EXACTLLY

But still u need game sense

[bold token]

you could know the most insane mechanics but if you dont know how to use them for your advantage or if you get them once in 900 games theyre useless

[severe pond]

Mechanics will never get u too high ranks

[bold token]

well this depends on mechanics. theres some fundamentals that you absolutely need

[flat dew]

space golem whats ur rank

u cant be talking

[bold token]

Im d 2 currently

[flat dew]

dont give tips to anyone

lmao

and stop watching spookluke

[bold token]

alright go reach a high rank with no half flips, dashing etc

[flat dew]

i am a high rank

ur not in a position to give tips to anyone

[bold token]

no one really asked your opinion anyways, also im in position to give tips to people as much as anyone else

[flat dew]

ur getting them hardstuck

[bold token]

XD

[flat dew]

ur making them think ur teaching them good things but ur only saying bad tips

[bold token]

so i should be saying dont learn half flips dashing etc theyre bad to have?

gotcha thank you mr ssl pro

[flat dew]

u should tell no one what to do since u are in the most average rank there is

[bold token]

okay anyways gonna ignore this kid for now

[flat dew]

lmao ppl below diamond dont play much ur basically in the lowest rank group

[bold token]

he def is, XD

[flat dew]

u are diamond

are u straight?

I mean its funny to see trolls like this try to get rise out of people :D either that or theyre geniunely delusional

[languid zodiac]

After 1.1k hours in rl I've decided to switch from kbm to controller since I seem to have plateaud in skill. Is there any advice or tips that would help me transition or do I have to just keep on playing untill I get used to it?

[limber river]

Can anyone help me get champ rewards

[wraith glen]

lfs 1600-1900 rn

[ivory wren]

it is

[fallow jay]

you dont plateau because of kb

1.1k or gc1 is generally a rank where everyone plateaus

the difference between gc1 and gc2 is just so big that it feels like your not getting anywhere

if youre looking for actual advice instead of reasons to switch to controller, id say keep playing kbm

[languid zodiac]

@fallow jay

I have 1.1k hrs not gc1, I'm d2. I just feel like I haven't improved at the game since I had 8 or 900 hrs despite consistently playing training packs almost every day and freeplay before ranked. I wanted to try switching to controller to see if I can eventually start to improve at a faster rate.

[fallow jay]

how long do you play per day?

and do you main 1s? 2s? what do you play and for how long?

[languid zodiac]

Mainly 2s, 1 to 2 hrs per day maybe more

[fallow jay]

do you feel like your mechanics/consistency are holding you back?

[languid zodiac]

Yes definitely, I would say I have about average Mechanics for d2 but just inconsistnet

[fallow jay]

do you play like, every day?

or just like a day and then you stop for 3 days and then play for a day again?

[languid zodiac]

Yep. Pretty much everyday

[fallow jay]

hm alright

play 1s

i feel like 1s should be the most helpful to get your consistency up

in diamond you cant really rely on your teammates too much anyways so if youre getting out of there its going to be by you being mechanically better/faster

also be very conscious of your decisions, try to think about what youre doing or what you just did

if you boom a ball into their corner and have the realisation later that that shot did not achieve anything you improved

[cyan sage]

?

[ivory wren]

?

[nimble wind]

?

[cyan sage]

nvm my discord was bugging cos i got in an elevator

[fallow jay]

lmao

[cyan sage]

i slept from 5:30pm to 11:30pm

and i've been up since then

[fallow jay]

adding onto booming the ball, i think clearing the ball onto their net is enough to get out of diamond

every time you get a chance to clear shoot it either on net or onto their backboard above the net and theyll probably panic

[languid zodiac]

@fallow jay Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it

[fallow jay]

no problem

[bright hemlock]

dm me

@somber shoal check your dms

[vagrant roost]

morning all

[feral patrol]

hey guys, what are mechanics that i NEED in Plat? im trying to hit d1... 😄

[vagrant roost]

ground ball control and patience imo

[dusky fiber]

powershots out of multiple positions, dont chase, and in general basic stuff

[vagrant roost]

practice how to bounce dribble and dribble at an angle towards the net, so if you are challenged, you can react and change direction and get free goals or shots on net

[fluid epoch]

just dont miss

shouldnt be missing a ball over plat if u wanna get higher rank

if you arent comfortable hitting the ball dont jump and screw yourself those type of things

save boost for when u land so u can still recover u should never be absolute zero

[fluid epoch]

solo queue is only possible really imo if ur a rank higher than the rank ur in so u can carry cause ur teammates are gonna be useless sometimes

its like how even pros are cooked when they get a non pro ssl on their team and have to go against zen and vatira

[bold token]

wat

[nimble heart]

Who can help me fix me ball controle? I can hold the ball for some time and do something like dribble but i dont have everything under controll

Im most of time plat 1/3

[past fractal]

cap

[past fractal]

this is a bad example

[fluid epoch]

So ur telling me that if ur champ u dont need to be gc to win games in champ to climb to gc?

[past fractal]

no u dont need to be gc to win games in champ

[fluid epoch]

So you dont need to be gc skill level to get to gc?

[next spindle]

any ssl coaches?

[past fractal]

you do but u do NOT need to be gc to win games in champ

[fluid epoch]

U do to solo carry games. I didnt say every game. I said sometimes ur teammates are gonna be useless. keyword sometimes. Also u gotta be a rank higher if u wanna climb. Simple. Ignore reality all u want timothy

[past fractal]

you should always aim to be the best in ur lobby but you definitely dont need to be the next rank up to win a match in ur current rank (im referring to c1 and gc when i say this)

[past fractal]

you dont need to be a rank higher to climb

[fluid epoch]

...? so a champ can get to gc

[past fractal]

yes

[fluid epoch]

makes sense

No because he would be a gc then

ur not making sense bro go to sleep

[past fractal]

your making it seem like this is an instant transition

[fluid epoch]

if u get gc, ur gc bro. Its reality

[past fractal]

you cant be gc without being champ first

[fluid epoch]

thats like saying a plat isnt plat hes gold

doesnt change just cause its higher rank

[past fractal]

for reference whats ur rank?

[fluid epoch]

Champ 2

[past fractal]

ah

[fluid epoch]

(currently)

[past fractal]

so ur stuck c2 and malding

got it

[fluid epoch]

? when did i say i was stuck

lmao i have played 20 games this season

and started in diamond 3

Im trying to share my experience to help people

so i said not to solo queue unless ur at least a rank higher than ur actual rank so u can carry the underperformers

[past fractal]

were u c2 before this season?

[past fractal]

this is bad info to give out

[fluid epoch]

How

[past fractal]

generally bad info

[fluid epoch]

Ur gonna go against duos and get rolled

[past fractal]

you dont need to duo q to rank up

[ivory wren]

[past fractal]

you need to be consistent and you should be able to work around ur tm8s

[fluid epoch]

cause ur teammate cant aerial in champ

[cyan sage]

solo queue plays differently than party queue because you have to learn how to adapt to different playstyles

if you cant adapt or outspeed everyone, you will have a hard time winning your games

[fluid epoch]

this is what im trying to say, thank you.

[ivory wren]

yo art how u doing

[cyan sage]

wsp :) im oke ty

wbu

[fluid epoch]

so u agree

[cyan sage]

ok well maybe "dont solo queue" is a bad way to put it

[past fractal]

^

[fluid epoch]

Dont solo queue IF

keyword being IF

[past fractal]

dont solo q is a bad statement

[ivory wren]

not much tbh just having a look at this channel before start play rankeds

[fluid epoch]

Which is why i never said that

[cyan sage]

im not gonna gatekeep solo queue behind learning how to adapt, cos you cant really learn how to without it LMAO

more so just

dont expect to win as many games if you cant adapt

thats a better way of putting it

[ivory wren]

agree

[cyan sage]

i wouldnt say solo queue is harder, its just a different game tbh

[fluid epoch]

people asked how to climb im saying dont solo queue if u arent prepared to play at a higher level and adapt to your teammates

ur gonna have to carry its just reality

[past fractal]

you did not say this

[cyan sage]

or learn how to adapt

[past fractal]

.

[cyan sage]

you either learn how to adapt or you outspeed the entire lobby

[past fractal]

.

[cyan sage]

and learning how to adapt is much easier lmao

[fluid epoch]

Bro ur literally arguing just to argue go f off bruh ur like 12 and named timothy youll never have a female in ur life anyway i aint worried about u lil bro

[past fractal]

and the example was horrid for this instance

im not arguing to argue im just not a fan of bad advice

[fluid epoch]

that example is just facts lmao ur just mad cause its right

[past fractal]

solo q or not u should always aim to be the best in the lobby. you shouldnt have to but you may have to carry.

just be consistent and a good tm8 when ur solo and youll do fine

[fluid epoch]

I said sometimes brodie i didnt say every game so ur just agreeing with me idk why ur trying to argue

[cyan sage]

real shizzle

i cant say the

[past fractal]

i am not agreeing that

[cyan sage]

actual word

[fluid epoch]

I used a completely accurate example and u said "i hate that example" without saying why its bad cause the example is just completely right

[cyan sage]

actually i think i can say shits

i can

wtf

[past fractal]

i disagree with you need to be a higher rank than ur rank to rank up

[fluid epoch]

So u disagree with reality

Thats great

If ur plat, u gotta play like a diamond to rank up to diamond. Because once u get diamond, ur diamond.

[cyan sage]

ranking up =/= improving tbf

[past fractal]

you need to play like a higher rank? certainly. you need to be a higher rank? no.

[cyan sage]

you can play like a pushover and rank up

[fluid epoch]

Bro what the actual nitpick stretch bs is this

Im done bruh ur insufferable

[past fractal]

im so confused

[fluid epoch]

stretch armstrong headass

[past fractal]

but alr

[cyan sage]

ranking up and improvement arent necessarily mutually inclusive lol

you can definitely improve and not rank up

and you can DEFINITELY rank up but not improve

[fluid epoch]

Yeah but u cant get a rank and not deserve it

[past fractal]

in 1s i feel like this is a direct correlation imo

[fluid epoch]

because getting the rank itself is deserving it

[ivory wren]

agree

[past fractal]

or at least more of a direct correlation

3s you can get carried 100%

[bold token]

ive been playing solo's for 2 days now and been doing alot better in 2s

[fluid epoch]

how are u gonna rank up without improving? Ur improving ur game differential which is what allows u to rank up

u guys are arguing against logic itself not me

[bold token]

i recommend 1s to everyone

[past fractal]

i fixed my 1s rank and my 2s rank got much better lol

definitely recommend doing it with chat off tho

prevents the tilt

[fluid epoch]

1s and 2s is a completely diff game. 1s is about being able to stop people with space and 2s is being able to deny space (on a lower level/base level of understandment of the game)

[bold token]

i never played 1s before so i though i was gonna be hardstuck plat 1 but i went from div 1 to plat 3 in 2 days

[fluid epoch]

Improving ur 1s is not gonna do anything for ur 2s game

[past fractal]

... this is a wild statement to make

[bold token]

ur so wrong XDDD

[fluid epoch]

Cause losing 50s is something you NEVER want to do in 1s, but is exactly what won Gentle Mates the major. Watch Johnnyboi's analysis. Its why they all 3 suck in 1s compared to other pros and mawkzy but they won the major undefeated

[bold token]

ive been able to carry my 2's games so much better after hard smashing 1s

[fluid epoch]

it might do something for your mechanics

but both require a completely different gamesense and strategy

[past fractal]

1s helps build consistency

[fluid epoch]

Which is ur mechanics not ur actual 2s game

[past fractal]

and for the mass majority of us, we arent pros, and wont be.

and most of the time if ur a certain rank in 1s you can expect a certain rank in 2s

i dont play 3s so i cant speak on that

[fluid epoch]

1s has a small playerbase and most peoples rank in 1s is lower or higher than the other ranks depending on which extreme you are.

[past fractal]

but for the mass majority of rl 1s is going to help ur 2s gameplay for sure

[fluid epoch]

No its going to give you bad habits which is why nass struggled so much in 3v3

Its not so simple brother

Yes it can help but it can also hurt

[past fractal]

typically 1s is peoples lowest rank or a rank down at least from what ive seen in gc1/2

[fluid epoch]

if u use 1s gamesense and strategy in 2s ur gonna get cooked

[past fractal]

they are c1-c3 or gc if they no life 1s

[fluid epoch]

because people dont play 1s

[past fractal]

idc to play 1s that much so i was fine with c2

[fluid epoch]

not because they arent good enough to they just dont play it

[past fractal]

yes

[fluid epoch]

Most people have friends and dont play solo

[past fractal]

disagree here

[bold token]

^^

[fluid epoch]

So most people dont have friends?

[tropic needle]

LF someone d3 at least to mess around with in cas

[fluid epoch]

name 1 person who has 0 friends on epic games, ill wait

[past fractal]

i play solo

[fluid epoch]

impossible

[past fractal]

exclusively solo

[fluid epoch]

Ur not most people

ur in the minority

How can u disgaree with facts

[past fractal]

and even if i did have friends to play with playing 1s is good for ya improvement

[cyan sage]

ehhhh

[fluid epoch]

go look at the player distribution, 1s is the least played gamemode.

Argue with facts all you want its funny to me

[cyan sage]

you can definitely rank up and not improve

[past fractal]

what point are you trying to make here again?

and 3s is least i think

[cyan sage]

well okay, you can rank up and not improve enough to not be hardstuck eventually

[past fractal]

actually idk

[fluid epoch]

1s is good for mechanical improvement i never argued that. I said that 1s is a different game entirely and requires different playstyle, strategy, and gamesense so learning these wont actually help with your 2s game. It will improve your 1v1 game, and ur mechanics, but not 2v2 gameplay.

[cyan sage]

if you go and play with the sole intention of just simply filling in the gaps and supporting your teammate, you will improve

but realistically its very minimally lol

[cyan sage]

1s definitely helps your 2v2 gameplay

[prisma oak]

bad take

[fluid epoch]

In what ways? go ahead, tell me how 1v1 makes u better in terms of gamesense and strategy in 2v2, Ill wait.

[tropic needle]

1s is the most direct representation on your knowledge of the game and its mechanics//strategies. Your 1s rank is really YOUR rank

[fluid epoch]

Rotation isnt even a thing in 1s and is the most important thing in 2v2

[prisma oak]

not rly

[fluid epoch]

positioning as well

[past fractal]

whats ur 1s rank 23db?

[prisma oak]

cabbage 2

[fluid epoch]

Champ 2 i already told you

[tropic needle]

1. You’ll learn how to outplay singular opponents which can then be carried into 2s to give your team a potential pass

[past fractal]

and ur 2s rank?

[fluid epoch]

im diamond 3 in 2v2 cause i dont like carrying my teammates and have only finished placements. i have 20 games played this season in 1s and 10 in 2s. i started d3 in 1s as well.

[tropic needle]

2. Boost management is most applicable in 1s but very useful throughout all modes

[fluid epoch]

i play 10 games at a time

[past fractal]

this doesnt make sense if im being completely honest

[prisma oak]

hot take ur ones rank should be about where your 2s rank would be solo qing

[past fractal]

nah bruh im c1 in 1s gc1 in 2s dont do me like that lol

[fluid epoch]

i get +30 a game still so its not crazzy to go up that much

im champ in 3s as well and gc in rumble

and hoops

[tropic needle]

Problem with RL is people get good with teamates instead of being good themselves and combining skill with their team

[past fractal]

rumble doesnt matter

[fluid epoch]

and snow day actually

i was gc

[past fractal]

this

i always recommend being able to solo q

[fluid epoch]

Rumble def matters it requires skill just like any other mode

[tropic needle]

+30 MMR? On what planet?

[fluid epoch]

Right after placements and during

[cyan sage]

2s is a lot of 1 on 1 scenarios, and playing ones teaching you how to navigate that

starting off with 2s in general, its super risky to go for direct passing plays and anything that somehow commits your last man to the play, while the 1st man is still up field. the same goes for ones, you cant really do anything too risky and overcommit, as you run the risk of just getting scored on

in 1s, you have to learn how to take controlled 50s that allow you to keep a follow up on the ball, as well as just plays in general that keep control of the ball.

translating that into 2s, taking controlled 50s that allow your teammate to commit without having to run the risk of overcommitting your 1st man to the play for too long, allows you to create longer lasting offensive pressure, and it allows you to go for extremely threatening plays while still lowering the risk of simply being read and scored on

[past fractal]

even if u have a friend u should be able to play solo with randos

[past fractal]

i dont think u get that much unless its a fresh account even after placements

think its closer to 20-25

[tropic needle]

You get +20 minimum during all placement matches, you don’t get +30 all the time

[fluid epoch]

i mean i do you want me to screenshot?

why would i lie

[past fractal]

whats ur tracker

[fluid epoch]

its private

[past fractal]

:/

[cyan sage]

another example i could give you is learning how to properly take your 1 on 1 challenges

2s is genuinely a lot of solo play due to the fact that you have no teammate to cover, if your second man decides to commit. therefore you have to learn how to play and support your teammate's 1 on 1 situations, whilst playing second man. having the experience from 1s, allows you to read the play and therefore position yourself in a better spot, due to your experience with 1 on 1 scenarios

same goes with boost management, like uh- lumi said i think

you have much less leeway with what paths you can take for boost, and when you can cut for 100 boosts

[tropic needle]

To add onto this, great point by the way Art. If you cannot play 1s, how do you expect to outplay that last opponent in net when it comes down to it?

[cyan sage]

simply because if you take the wrong path or take the wrong 100, you leave your teammate in a position where they are forced to jump for backboard by the 1st man, and the second man just shoots

[slate idol]

has anyone got any tips on going from 1400 to gc im stuck between 1350-1400

[tropic needle]

I think the quickest way to improve is solo queue and 1s

[cyan sage]

also you gain and lose anywhere between 13ish to 40ish on placements through your first 50 games of comp, depending on how many games youve played

[cyan sage]

just improve on speed, consistency, and dont autopilot

thats abt all you need to hit gc lmao

[fluid epoch]

discussion was good tho but im going to game now my 3s squad in on

[tropic needle]

I think I’m now realizing that I auto pilot 😂

[slate idol]

can i book a free training session and u can help me?

[cyan sage]

i gave bro 3 good examples of 1s carrying over to 2s in terms of gamesense and strat, and then he left without response 💀 thats crazy

[cyan sage]

i dont have any free sessions available rn

i do 3 a month, and all three of those are already gone for april

[slate idol]

oh ok

[cyan sage]

its msotly just abt speed, consistency, and actively thinking tho

[slate idol]

have u got any training pack suggestions or just play 2s/1s

[cyan sage]

tbh it depends on what you need to work on

[slate idol]

i think speed tbh and maybe a little consistency

[cyan sage]

consistency with what tho

[balmy heath]

guys i was champ 1 and hit champ 3 in 4 days

is that good ?

[fast gate]

Take a guess

[short cipher]

not a pro but id say thats wild

[limber river]

I went from d2 to c1 in 2 hours

[fierce raft]

I went from champ 2 to silver 2 in a day, is that bad?

[safe needle]

I recently bought the g7se controller and i just wanted to ask if somebody got some settings for the controller like deadzone and stuff

[magic root]

wy cant i use lgf

why and lfg*

[flint plaza]

type /

if you didn't already

[gilded fog]

why is my car control js like

died

[flint plank]

real

[gilded fog]

i used to be c2 n now i can't control my car😭

[brisk merlin]

i am grand champ want any tips

[amber mirage]

yes

[lusty violet]

my problem is idk what I'm doing wrong so idk what to ask 😭

[last tusk]

someone wanne help me get d1 im plat 1 can someone coach me or play with me just for fun

[cyan sage]

Anyone who is dedicated to improving just dm its free:)

[idle creek]

i sent you a dm

[cyan sage]

what mmr is rumble gc

[snow mantle]

Can someone unstuckme 😉 from d3

[pure plume]

1195

[silver surge]

Yippee!

[cyan sage]

im usually around gc1, ive been told by multiple gc3s+ that i deserve their rank or higher, just wondering if i can steal a coach

or maybe someone in gc3+ can let me play in their lobbies since ive played against gc2 and its pretty easy

[ivory wren]

bruh

[zenith delta]

If you really deserved it you’ll get there

[cyan sage]

gonna sound bizzare but, tm8s

ik i can get there but i dont have the patience

[cyan sage]

and lower ranks are weird ash

[limber river]

Can anyone help me rank up?

[outer pine]

whats your rltracker

[fresh crown]

whos got good binds for xbox my camera settings r good

[silver surge]

your that guy ig!

[teal helm]

love your pfp ur kinda cute

[silver surge]

Awwwwww, your handsome too!

[limber river]

Can anyone help me rank up

[teal helm]

💋

[limber river]

Can anyone help me rank up???????

[cyan sage]

Nah just you homie

[next spindle]

any ssl coaches?

[fallen sleet]

How to use that looking for group thing

[nimble wind]

Guys if i play more 1s instead of 2s or 3s i will improve more in the game? Or it doesnt matter

[balmy heath]

thx

[balmy heath]

idk bro

[analog beacon]

best tip for gettting to gc without finding a tm8?

[analog beacon]

yes it will improve your ball control and help with your challenges

[analog beacon]

you have to type forward slash then L and looking for group will pop up and then its pretty simple filling it out

[nimble wind]

How long can it take me to notice a difference moreover?
