Can anyone help me rank up

[analog beacon]

ive played this games for 2.5 years and im stuck in champ worst than diamond tm8s by far because if you get a tm8 thats trash then your just Fd

i wouldnt say time for that as much as matches played. and when your stuck at a rank in 1s save your game replays and ask someone to review it with you maybe a higher rank thats always nice but make sure their not carried and brain dead...

[balmy heath]

its not that hard if ur good u will rank up bro. i went from c1 to c3 in 4 days

[analog beacon]

bro

[balmy heath]

what

[nimble wind]

Alr ty bro

[analog beacon]

you got jokes thats funny saying it aint hard you got a tm8 or solo q? and trust me you couldnt carry these tm8s i be getting if you were mark henry

[balmy heath]

i solo qued

[analog beacon]

yea works when you get decent tm8s but you get scrubs and go against good opponents? thats an L

and thats my luck

[balmy heath]

the opponents are the same rank btw

[analog beacon]

i dont trash talk nobody in game i dont give up thats not how i play

you are slow bro

[tribal wren]

could i get coaching for me and my friend for rotations. we are both plat 3's

[analog beacon]

in 2s?

[balmy heath]

womp womp

[tribal wren]

yes

[cyan sage]

how are you stuck in champ that rank is so free

[tribal wren]

yes for 2's

[balmy heath]

ikr i got from c1 to c3 in 4 days

[cyan sage]

just play smart and you win

[balmy heath]

ik or have really good defense

[limber river]

Can anyone help me rank up???

[slate trail]

can sm1 coach me please

[nimble wind]

How much time youve been playing rl? My goal is hit champ but i think is hard rn im currently at plat 2 in 2s, im kinda noob lmao

[balmy heath]

idk ive been off and on but i hit champ in like around 200hours

its easy if u play 1v1s

[analog beacon]

epic?

[nimble wind]

Bro im cooked then i have 250hrs lol

[balmy heath]

it does not matter watch on yt how u can get better there is a lot of good tuts there trust me

[nimble wind]

I will

I will play more 1s also to improve mi ball control and defense

[blazing chasm]

can someone help me out of gold i just need a ok teamate with mic

[zenith delta]

250 hrs isn’t even the avg for champ

Avg is like 700-1100

[tribal wren]

[teal helm]

cringe

[teal helm]

eel friend

[tribal wren]

i have not changed it in 2 years lol

[teal helm]

dw mine is horrible too

[nimble wind]

Oh didnt know that

[zenith delta]

Sup it’s been months waiting now

[teal helm]

ayo you never got back to me last time

[zenith delta]

I knew I’d forget

[teal helm]

tell me about it

i always forget

[exotic gyro]

when flip resetting. im supposed to reset on the side of the ball, not under it. But i still see pros doing it under the ball with no problem.
Why cant i master it under the balll is there a trick?

[boreal forum]

they say try to go as if ur gonna hit the ball then adjust the car

[exotic gyro]

like boosting straight to the ball before adjusting the car?

[boreal forum]

yes

like ur gonna air dribble

[modern mulch]

Can Anyone Help Me Reach Plat?

In Ranked 2s

[cyan sage]

its less of where and more of when

as long as youre getting the reset at the peak of the balls arc

youre good

[cinder dagger]

can anyone try to give me some tips to improve my gameplay maybe?

[slate trail]

can someone help correct my gameplay

[tough prawn]

yeah

[flint junco]

@high maple i’m down but can’t message

[stiff scroll]

How do I improve at judging the angle I need to aerial at to reach the ball the quickest? I want to get better at reaching the ball from awkward positions/angles

[slate trail]

dms

[teal helm]

Show in #gameplay-highlights we’ll give tips

[robust bloom]

Yep

We are gold 3

We can help u

[stiff scroll]

yo I'll do it a bit later since I'm about to upload a nice power shot and I don't wanna spam

[stiff scroll]

hey G3 is the new P3

[robust bloom]

Alr np

[robust bloom]

So true

Ppl flip reset all the time 😡

[teal helm]

finaly someone who kniw what he talk about

[robust bloom]

Ikr

[stiff scroll]

I peaked at D3 div 4 a few seasons ago and now I struggle holding Diamond at all. My mate was Champ 2 when I peaked, and now he's struggling to hold D3, skill level 100% went up over the last year or so, need new ranks between GC and Supreme, or new ranks between Gold plat and Diamond

[robust bloom]

Supreme?

Do you mean super sonic the hedgehog

[stiff scroll]

oh whoops, old CS nerd lol sorry

[robust bloom]

No problem

[stiff scroll]

how else would you fix the skill inflation in lower ranks? Because as it stands, new players are getting less and less room to enjoy and improve at the game

[warm mural]

can anyone help me i'm hard d for years i need help

[stiff scroll]

If you've been diamond for years, then you've been improving at the same rate as the skill ceiling is being pushed, if you were as good as you are now when you first hit your peak rank, you'd be at least an entire rank higher

[warm mural]

i can play in champ 2 lobbies no problem i can't get out of Diamond up and down d1 d3 and back to d1 to d3

[stiff scroll]

Are you solo quing when you play in Champ 2 lobbies?

[silent plover]

Dont tilt queue

[warm mural]

in 2s i'm diamond and solo quing but in 1s i'm champ 2

[topaz heath]

I can confirm this. In 2021 I was c3d4, never made it to GC and stopped playing for 3 years until two months ago. Already I feel like I’m better than I’ve ever been, and instead of being c3d4 I’m c1/c2 for now

They keep pushing the ranks farther away

[warm mural]

can't wait to be plat nerxt year

[topaz heath]

😭

GC 2 years ago = C1 now

[silent plover]

No ppl just get better

[topaz heath]

Both are true, they literally pushed the mmr back

[stiff scroll]

Best advice I can personally give you is to be a better team mate. Like, let the ballchasing team mate do his thing, just cover net more. You can't lose if they don't score

[topaz heath]

Goalie is not a viable position in rocket league

And covering net can cost you some goals on offense

[stiff scroll]

nah but when you're solo queuing with a selfish team mate, it can get you through the match alive

[warm mural]

i think i might quit then

[topaz heath]

The only way to get better at 2s is to learn to rotate

[silent plover]

Honestly best way in my experience is to be the dominant tm8

[topaz heath]

This I agree with

[stiff scroll]

won't that just lead to double commits and an open net?

[stiff scroll]

yeah, telling him that won't make his team mate rotate better

[silent plover]

Nah you’ll force him to calm tf down

[stiff scroll]

I'll try it next time I run into one

[robust bloom]

#gameplay-highlights

[topaz heath]

Yes you can play more defensively if your teammate is a lunatic but staying in net cuz ur scared to win games doesn’t matter

The reality is that you will rank up when you are deserving of ranking up

[silent plover]

I mean don’t start ballchasing like crazy but just do your thing and go when ur supposed to and hopefully your tm8 adapts

[stiff scroll]

really depends on the team mate, I'm thinking of those guys that will just rush the ball without care of their own boost, the direction the ball might go in (even our net) and WILL bump you everytime if you try to take possession. You just CAN'T play with those guys at all, I've even had the other team be like wtf about it

not to mention they just absolutely spam quick chat every second they can

[topaz heath]

Yes and diamond is full of those guys. That’s why I’m saying when you can learn to play around that and then CARRY those people by being dominant, you will rank up because you are better at the game

[silent plover]

Yeah don’t kill the ball’s momentum to try and take possession, they don’t care and WILL dive

[stiff scroll]

right now P3D4, usually vibing from here to D2

[silent plover]

^^

Most annoying thing in those ranks is when you just grabbed backboost ready to go, the ball is rolling towards you and your tm8 is rotating back with 0 boost. You go for the ball but at the same time your tm8 sees shiny ball and slams the powerslide, double commit

[topaz heath]

What rank

[silent plover]

plat dia

[topaz heath]

Cuz that bs goes away when you get to mid champ

Yeah makes sense

[silent plover]

I agree

I only peaked 1435 but

Low champ is different from high champ

[topaz heath]

1435 is Gc wym only that’s crazy

[topaz heath]

Yes and it’s actually funny cuz I play better in C3 than I do in C1

[silent plover]

At c1 its brainless ballchasing pingpong and in high champ they keep more possession and think twice before challenging

[topaz heath]

C1 players are worse but they are more unpredictable

It’s a pain to get out of

[silent plover]

Same cause they are more predictable

[topaz heath]

Yeah

What rank are you rn

[silent plover]

When I play in that rank I have to switch to just going and following up as fast as possible and that usually works

But I can’t always get myself to play like that

And just lose in C1

[topaz heath]

I feel you

[cyan sage]

guys last season i was gold 3 and this season is silver 1 i dont have any froends that play rl so i solo queue and grt the worst teammates because we end up double committing because he misses the saves in the net

any tips for me

[silent plover]

Double committing cause he misses saves?

[cyan sage]

wait i said that wrong

number one they miss saves a lot cuz no can aerial

number two whenever i go offense my teammate comes and we double commit

and i cant stay in net because silvers dont know how to hit the ball where they want

shouod i just try to find good teammates?

[stiff scroll]

that's pretty much what I'm saying, just a more extreme version where it's not even worth trying

[silent plover]

Well basically everyone in Silver 1 is just very bad at the game. There’s no such thing as rotations and any decent shot will go on

I wouldn’t really focus on tm8s but just improving yourself with some training packs cause it’s pretty easy to carry yourself out of there if you get a bit better

I recommend grinding powershots for a bit

[cyan sage]

should i ball chase my way out of silver then?

[cyan sage]

ok thanks

the best mechanic i know rn is a flick

tryna learn how to air dribble but i gotta focus on getting out of silver first

thanks for the advice tho

[silent plover]

NOOOO

[silent plover]

I’d just focus on shooting first. A flick requires you to get the ball on your car and under control first which at your skill level is extremely hard in an online match

And don’t even think about air dribbling

[cyan sage]

oh

but i can dribble and flick consistently

shojld i stop practicing it?

once i catch the ball on top of my car the rest is easy for me

its just getting it on my car thats hard for me

[silent plover]

No but I wouldn’t focus on it

Just practice powershots

Any good powershot will go in

Or bounce dribbles, little more advanced

Just don’t focus on carrying the ball on your car yet you lack the skill in silver

[bright copper]

I'm gold, I know how to flip reset but I can't air dribble should I wait till diamond to learn the mechanic?

[teal helm]

That means you’re focusing on completely the wrong things

[bright copper]

I learned flip reset first because I can't ball control

[teal helm]

@robust bloom knows a lot about this

[robust bloom]

Good

Practice air dribble

[bright copper]

Sir yes sir

[robust bloom]

That's what I like to hear

[bright copper]

.

[cyan sage]

Is there anybody that is champ+ in 2v2 that can play with me in some casual games and tell me what I could do better? I am borderline diamond II right now in 1v1 but I am about to lose platinum in 2v2.

[cyan sage]

ok tysm

ok

[prisma oak]

so i’m at the point where i can get the flip reset pretty much every time and flick it in the net from underneath but i can’t flip reset and recover the air dribble for the goal - how do i do that?

or at least train that

[teal helm]

Show attempt in #gameplay-highlights

[cyan sage]

Anybody?

[teal helm]

Yessir

[opal star]

I’m plat 1 and I’m focusing on air dribbles should I do something else?

Alr thank u

[teal helm]

Idk your ranks but I assume your 1s rank is a few ranks behind the rest ?

[opal star]

.

How do I stop whiffing😭😭😭

[teal helm]

Ooh you have work to do

1s is 🔑

[opal star]

I keep missing wide open shots and wifffing mid air

[teal helm]

Yeah thats valid for like 9/10 2s players

And that reflects in those matches

They can air dribble and stuff but not catch the ball and get a good flick

Don’t know how to keep the ball close and control it resulting in giving away possession a lot

It’s all 1s skills

Yeah if you’re a 2s main that doesn’t really play 1s you have to learn the playstyle. In the beginning you’ll probably have ‘bad’ 2s habits that you’re doing, rotating backboost and overcommitting (especially in the air you overcommit very fast)

[opal star]

Can I tell me how to stop being scared of going to for an Ariel and get good 50 50’s

[teal helm]

Staying grounded as much as possible is always good in 1s

But yeah just keep grinding and it will also get less tilting as u get better

[cyan sage]

Why are you so close to me in 1v1?

My peak in 2v2 is platinum II.

[teal helm]

Extremely rare RL player with self-reflection abilities

And yeah that’s tilting af I know all about it

Overtime in an important match when the packet loss warning pops up and my ping goes to 500

[stiff scroll]

What's the secret that made lining up a double tap click for you?

You being anyone who can consistenly double tap

reference clip in #gameplay-highlights it's about where I'm at with them

[shut plaza]

I have a friend who is Diamond 3 - Champ 1 and he is looking for a higher ranked player to teach him some defense. is anyone game? hes 23 yo

[cyan sage]

Look at your direct messages.

[viscid cipher]

check dms

[teal helm]

Looks like you’re playing double tap playground right?

[novel canyon]

there aint really a secret, id recommend for you to get really comfortable with aerials first

and then double taps will come fairly easily

[cyan sage]

more comfortable aerials = better separation from the ball = easier time directing the shot (at least thats how I imagine it is)

[teal helm]

I would add to that: start with an easier training pack where your car is on the ground. You chose the wrong trainingpack to begin with

Getting the right touch from the wall for a double tap and following it up is already a lot harder

[cyan sage]

also do not play dominus, that would help (jk)

[fluid epoch]

heres a secret: good players dont actually go for a specific shot they go with the flow and adapt

thats why pros dont triple reset every time its situationa;

sometimes u just get the perfect setup

[novel canyon]

tbf tho, its not like you can just start triple resetting without practice first

[teal helm]

Wtf are you yapping about this dude just asked for help learning double taps

[fluid epoch]

im yapping about the topic at hand bro?

most double taps u just FEEL it and cant be faked, theres no secret

its all about car control

[novel canyon]

well yes that it called practice

[teal helm]

He’s a complete beginner to double taps, he doesn’t know how the ball is gonna bounce, he doesn’t ‘feel’ it

[fluid epoch]

being able to make ur car do what u intend to do in ur brain is not possible for lower ranked players

[teal helm]

I said just start with the basic ones from the ground

[fluid epoch]

so teaching them what to do is pointless

in my experience anyway

[novel canyon]

obv car control makes a big difference, but if you want to get better at double taps practicing double taps makes the most sense

[teal helm]

No I agree with that

Idk his rank though

[edgy scarab]

Any tips on how to learn speed flip kickoff

I can’t figure this out for the life of me

[novel canyon]

are you pc?

[edgy scarab]

Yeah

[novel canyon]

there is a bakkes mod mod

that brings an interface up on musty's speedflip custom training pack that allows you to perfect your speedflip

[stiff scroll]

so it's all about the initial touch after the set up? Everyone is getting the wrong idea about my question lol, but maybe it's just me, but I suck at something for a while until it 'clicks' and I've reached a new level

[edgy scarab]

How do I get that

I got bakkes mod

[novel canyon]

let me find a tutorial quickly

[edgy scarab]

Bet appreciate it 🙏🏽

[fluid epoch]

theres no secret, double taps are car control/game feel imo u cant learn 1 simple trick and all of a sudden doctors hate you

[stiff scroll]

that's not what I'm saying at all? Where did I say that?

[fluid epoch]

get a strong touch to the backboard is a good start tho

What's the secret that made lining up a double tap click for you?

[stiff scroll]

that's like teaching someone to ride a bike and telling them to just peddle

[fluid epoch]

those are ur exact words

[stiff scroll]

yeah everyone has a different click bro

am I just that autistic lol

[fluid epoch]

nah i teach skateboarding as well, and i would NEVER advise someone to learn kickflip before getting board control. Thats the entire point. Ride/Drive ur car around for a long time till ur comfortable and THEN learn the complicated stuff

fundamentals before extra shi'

it will ruin ur progression if u try to go to fast

[novel canyon]

alright cant find a tutorial that shows step by step, but here is the training pack code first of all: A503-264C-A7EB-D282

[stiff scroll]

and I actually said "What's YOUR secret" unless I miss typed an entire word (not my first time)

[fluid epoch]

And im replying saying there wasnt one atleast for me cause i cant speak for other people

[stiff scroll]

Yes but I don't understand why you're telling me to practice fundamentals when I'm asking about what made lining up double taps click for you

[edgy scarab]

Bet thanks man

[teal helm]

First whats your rank?

[fluid epoch]

flip resets the secret for me was directional air roll and stop holding drive. its not like im denying the existance of secrets or the "click" thing

[stiff scroll]

vibing around p3d4 to D2div2

[novel canyon]

then here is the link to install the plugin: https://bakkesplugins.com/plugins/view/286

[fluid epoch]

Which could mean anything cause that rank can be 10 hours in the game trash or 1000 hours pretty decent

[novel canyon]

and search a vid on how to use bakkesmod plugins and you are set

[teal helm]

hmmm alr should be good enough to learn at least basic doubles

[novel canyon]

or if you cant find a vid i can just show you how in a call

[stiff scroll]

Yeah see the click for me for flip resets was "less is more" I was air rolling it too much. It's different for everyone, that's why I'm asking

[teal helm]

Well you can either shoot it to the backboard and go for the double (easier) or air dribble it to the backboard and double

[stiff scroll]

I have 1300 hours in steam

[teal helm]

If you choose the second you need to get a touch from under the ball or else you’ll push it away instead of up and you can’t double

[fluid epoch]

plat/diamond has way too much skill variance imo

[stiff scroll]

I've been trying to air dribble it, since I'm getting better with my touches in the air now

[fluid epoch]

they should add emerald rank and honestly maybe even another rank

just like league cause its way too diff the people u run into and that goes for both teammates and opponents

[stiff scroll]

that clip I put in highlights, I never used to be that consistent with touches until like last week when it clicked for me

[fluid epoch]

some lobbies are fast and people have great mechanics others look like gold or silver

[novel canyon]

i honestly dont think there is much skill diff inbetween ranks until you reach c2+

[fluid epoch]

Then you dont play the game

this guy asking for help is 1 rank lower than me

and hes nowhere near me mechanically

[stiff scroll]

Or he's been c2+ for years and even if he plays lower ranks he's too good to notice a real difference like us

[fluid epoch]

thats my point

[teal helm]

Then it would look like this: air dribble the ball towards backboard, when nearing backboard boost into your last touch to shoot the ball towards the backboard, then air roll your car in a position so that you boost away from the goal to create some space, and double tap it in

[fluid epoch]

for reference i can consistently FLIP RESET double tap, and he cant do a normal one

thats the skill gap in diamond

[novel canyon]

just cause you are mechy dont mean you are good...

not to put you down, but he could have very good gamesense, groundplay etc

[cyan sage]

oh god I found the youtube comments guy

[novel canyon]

lots of possibilites

[fluid epoch]

#gameplay-highlights

[stiff scroll]

to be fair, flip resets are NOT hard really

[fluid epoch]

being d3 rn and champ peak its not crazy i can flip reset and do a double tap and not even crazy i can combine both the only way u think thats crazy is if ur still stuck in 2019

the game has evolved brodie

[novel canyon]

nice clip, but i thoroughly doubt that that is consistent

[stiff scroll]

See that's normal advice, but everyone kinda has their own thing, like for my setups, I pay attention to parts of the wall and that really helped me with timing my first touch and pacing my approach

[fluid epoch]

i mean i can stream to you rn

if u really want me to lmao

also ill post how hard i carry my games

[stiff scroll]

nah bro could even be stuck in 2022, it's changing fast

[novel canyon]

sorry ive strayed from my main point, but skill aint just mechanics thats what im trying to say

[teal helm]

then why are you not champ?

[fluid epoch]

#gameplay-highlights

[cyan sage]

so basically you have zero situational awareness?

[fluid epoch]

rn? cause i havent played enough games this season? ive been champ before

Im not good enough for gc, i can double reset but not consistent

[novel canyon]

i know multiple gcs who cant even flip reset...

[cyan sage]

the fact that your standard for being gc is being able to double reset is hilariously absurd

[teal helm]

whats up with all those resets? gc has nothing to do with double flip redets

Bro is focusing on the wrong things

[novel canyon]

noone really does more than 2 resets in ranked

no point tbh

[cyan sage]

most mechs prolly are fine if you practise enough, its developing a sense of awareness of your situation, when to utilize what, giving yourself options etc etc, you can get good with the controller but you still have to learn to utilize said mechs

[fluid epoch]

Nah to get gc you need to be able to do that bro trust me everyone of my gc friends can double reset

[cyan sage]

you have to be trolling my dude

[fluid epoch]

i mean its not rly useful but its the flip cancel, stalls, and other stuff that allows you to be able to double reset that gcs will have

[cyan sage]

you know that you contradict yourself right?

[fluid epoch]

being able to read the game at that level

have the car control to be able to do so

[cyan sage]

if you need to be able to double reset to be gc you should have been champ consistently since you can reset right? lmao

[fluid epoch]

bro agrees with me 100% and is still talking shi on me lmao

I havent played enough games this season to make it back. i hardcarry every game. i scored 23 goals in 10 games on a 46% shot differntial and had 20 saves 7 assists. I posted proof and clips of my mechs

idk why its unbelievable

[novel canyon]

no one said you werent mechy, we were just saying mech aint everything

[cyan sage]

its not unbelievable it js demands that your gameplay is lacking in other areas

[fluid epoch]

teammates lol

Cause if i had enough games played id be champ, im not delusional enough to think im gc

[novel canyon]

23db, i can do a replay review rn if want and help you get out of diamond with your mechs

[fluid epoch]

ive been champ before no need

[novel canyon]

help you improve game sense or whatever

[fluid epoch]

im d3 rn

[novel canyon]

i am gc2

[fluid epoch]

not far from champ by any means

[novel canyon]

all good if you dont want to

but really, blaming your tm8s is delusional

[cyan sage]

unless they are from a certain country that love pastry (am kidding) but yeah agreed

[fluid epoch]

Nah if u saw my post showing how i won 10 games straight 8 mvps (2 i didnt get mvp i was duoqueued with my champ homie)
on 23 shots, 46% shot diff, 20 saves, and 7 assists you would agree that i hardcarry my teammates. Also i never miss the ball NEVER

if im gonna miss the ball i just simply wont jump for it

worst i do is get a bad touch'

[novel canyon]

when i play in lower ranked lobbies, i have to change my playstyle to not overwhelm my tm8, maybe you need to do the same thing

[fluid epoch]

And i dont blame them in game, i blame them out of game and im not toxic. That will just amke them play like shi.

[novel canyon]

play a bit more patient and wait for the opposition to make mistakes and score

[pale path]

i usually play better than my teammates but it takes one super bad teammates and im just tilted 😭

[fluid epoch]

i appreciate you trying to help i really do but i already know these things

[cyan sage]

from c1 to c3 in 2hrs with solo q was js waiting on balls that looked like i should go for and being a bit more passive (letting my mate go or letting the opp make a bad touch)

[fluid epoch]

or else i wouldnt be d3. it takes a lot to get here bro trust me

you cant be braindead

and ive peaked c2 so ye

champ tourney rank also

[amber phoenix]

I HIT SSL

[cyan sage]

ggs

[amber phoenix]

SSL

[novel canyon]

i dont know what you want me to say tho, like i understand that you are doing really well for your rank, but there clearly is a reason why you arent ranking up, and unless you have the same tm8 every game it aint your tm8s every game

[fluid epoch]

you dont get 46% shot differential by taking bad shots

most players have around 10% even good players

[fluid epoch]

but if you look at the thing you would realize that i won 10 games straight since i last played and went up 73 mmr and have peaked higher rank i just havent put enough games in

im not being held back by my teammates bro i never said that just that i have to hardcarry

which is just objective truth looking at my stats

800 score~ a game on average and my teammate be getting like 100

[novel canyon]

alright bro good luck with ranking up

[fluid epoch]

like tell me the ss in #gameplay-highlights isnt me carrying fr

also i went up over 100 mmr since i took that screenshot and that was YESTERDAY

so i think im well on my way

[novel canyon]

i mean, ive had games like that as well

put one in chat, from over a year ago tho

where i lost as well

[fluid epoch]

My point was that with screenshots like both of us sent its impossible to deny that teammates be throwin. Now i do deny that teammates can hold you back cause thats delusional just duoqueue and get out but ye they can definitely throw. saying they cant is delusional, not saying they can

[novel canyon]

yes they can throw

i have thrown games before sadly, felt bad for my tm8s

[fluid epoch]

u can play perfectly and still lose is my point

its not impossible

even vatira aint perfect but you get my point

i think the best way to fix this is adding more ranks to the game... Because the skill differential in diamond especially is way too big

also some gcs are absolutely cracked and some wouldnt even beat me in 1v1 and im pretty much champ skill level

The skill gap between ranks is way too big and idk how to fix it which is probably why psyonix hasnt

[fluid epoch]

You know whats funny, i got flamed in champ by m80s assistant coach cause he said i dont follow proper kickoff ettiquette and he went afk... i scored 2 goals and he stopped afking and we won. But fact being hes incredibly cringe even pro level coaches dont know what they are talking about. He made a video titled "Why rank means nothing in rocket league" and his name is JC_Hammer if you want to research it more. @novel canyon

[teal helm]

Your attitude speaks volumes lmao you’re the ballchaser tm8 that’s going for way too advanced shots

[fluid epoch]

I mean if you wanna make that generalization based on no evidence go ahead

i aint stopping you

if im winning 10 games straight in d3 im obviously doing SOMETHING right

[teal helm]

You came here praising yourself and your mechanics and blaming everything on tm8s and others, like bro ur d3 ur ass

[fluid epoch]

I mean we can 1v1 if you want

sounds like ur insecure that my mechs are better

i never claimed to deserve a higher rank or anything

[teal helm]

No thanks not a fair match

[fluid epoch]

Yeah youd get destroyed. ive played showmatches vs higher ranks before and won. I can send a link to the youtube vid if you want. I beat a gc before

[teal helm]

Have you looked at yourself and the mistakes you make? Maybe you cut rotations, boost starve ur tm8 etc

[fluid epoch]

im mechy for my rank bro dont underestimate me and im champ rewards every season

[teal helm]

Alr well I’m ssl

[fluid epoch]

When did i ever say i was perfect lol i never even said i had perfect mechs i said my mechs werent good enough for gc

send a screenshot rn

ur just a troll.

[teal helm]

lol im not on rn

[fluid epoch]

Ahhhh that definitely checks out and isnt suspicious

whats ur epic games. and say it in under 15 seconds or else ur looking someone else up

@teal helm

if you cant feel free to forfeit your right to speak

[teal helm]

check your dm lmfao

[fluid epoch]

[teal helm]

Alright bud

Is me let’s goooo

[fluid epoch]

i mean can we even be sure thats ur account?

u have no proof

even if it IS your account it aint impressive

u have 14000 more games played than me and are currently only 2-300 mmr above my peak

which is like 20-30 game wins

idk who ur trying to impress here

u were ssl a couple months ago ur hardstuck now i get it, let the anger out on me brodie

[teal helm]

you asked for it remember?

[fluid epoch]

you got exposed for being a troll and ahve a clown profile pic you're fully aware of your place now stop replying 😂

[teal helm]

bro blocked me 😭😭

[teal helm]

Bro’s a D3 whos #1 priority was flip resets and double taps and complained about having to hardcarry all his tm8s

I told him the truth and that he might wanna look in the mirror

He had a mental breakdown

As you can see

[old zenith]

hi

[lethal night]

Anyone have tips for improving mechanics and learning new ones

[cobalt crane]

Using training packs and freeplay to focus the specific mechanics and using dribbling and rings maps to work on car control to make all mechanics easier

[lethal night]

I’m on console

[cobalt crane]

There’s a rocketlabs map with 2 pillars in the middle

Do figure 8s around that map starting with no air roll, then once you get that down, air roll when turning, then you move to air roll constantly

You can also work dribbling around the pillars for ground control

Mix in power slide cuts, wavedashes, etc as you get more comfortable and confident in your consistency

@lethal night

[lethal night]

Can u send that in dms so I remember

[thorn escarp]

Any tips for learning freestyle type mechanics

[bronze mountain]

@lethal night focus on 1 mech at a time instead of a few. when working on mechs break them down into individual parts( example is 180 flicks: tap jump, turn, backflip). if you laser in on 1 till you got it down its easier to create the muscle memory.

[lethal night]

Aight thanks

[cobalt crane]

Mixing this in while building car control through what I said earlier will help you be more consistent and pick up the new mechanics easier as you’ll get a feel for how your car moves

[lethal night]

Im got car control somewhat under control

[bronze mountain]

@thorn escarp whats your rank? for freestyle I just think "how can I make this overcomplicated" since all it is is complicated shots and reads. So its important that you've got very good base mechs for it or you really wont be able to since freestyle is just chaining mechanics and using variations of basic ones.

[thorn escarp]

D2

The only reason I want to learn these mechs is cause it's for my yt

[bronze mountain]

i dont know about you but i dont consider anything freestyle unless its a chain. lots of people flip reset. not a lot can chain reset into musty

@thorn escarp check dm

[frozen sedge]

Hey guys. I was d3 and dropped down to plat 3 div 4 because of teammates from this server not playing on par with the rank as well as my platinum friends wanting to play with me. How can I consistently rank back up or find a good teammate?

[exotic gyro]

Solo q

[dry marsh]

solo queue

[frozen sedge]

Is that really better?

[dry marsh]

When theres a 300mmr difference between you and the lobby? yes

[frozen sedge]

No I mostly played with ppl my rank

[dry marsh]

in plat 3?

[frozen sedge]

Except the plats

[dry marsh]

you're playing against diamond 3's in plat 3

[frozen sedge]

No I was d3

[dry marsh]

so 2 diamond 3s cant win against plat 3s?

I'm not following

[frozen sedge]

No I was d3 and I played with my plat3 friend occasionally and mostly other d2/d3s

[haughty bolt]

so im brand new and grew up on mkb, would it be a better idea to try and swap to controller even though i have no experience on it?

[vestal moat]

does dribbling ever become like second nature? like atm i can air roll through a rings map without really focusing, does dribbling become like that or is it always gonna feel so sketchy lol

[dry marsh]

give it time

[vestal moat]

cool thanks, i've been working on the path map, do you have any other recommendations?

[dry marsh]

nope, other than use it in game

[vestal moat]

yeah been doing a lot of 1s recently to improve my ground game

Can anyone tell me what do i need to learn to get out of diamond like my ground mechs are pretty good (i think im lacking on some ground mechs tho) and for aerials i can do double resets almost consistently and can redirect/double tap

[fervent cosmos]

ya mechs are to advanced for ya rank imo... try play slow and match ya tm8s pace. try not to do owt fancy and leave him in a bad position because i doubt he will recover quick enough, not at that rank

will b boring but it will work

[lone jasper]

Can someone help me I hit champ 2 like a year ago and since then I’ve been slowly declining I’m d1 rn and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I can’t tell if people are getting a lot better or I’m just getting worse

how to get to champ from diamond? my IRL i play with is significantly worse then me constatly misses ariels gets alot of own goals weak touches always misses the ball doesnt challenge in important situations but i cant drop him beacuse hes my IRL im mvp everygame with like all the shots goals and saves and he rarely ever scores

[fast gate]

just sq then...

should be easy

[edgy scarab]

Sounds like you know your problem

[elder quartz]

yea but i cant drop him

[fast gate]

then sq when hes not on

[elder quartz]

i feel like they will be worse

[inner finch]

yes

[fast gate]

if hes your problem then sq will be easier

if not you have a different problem

[elder quartz]

yea but what if the sq people are worse

[fast gate]

they shoulnt be

they should the skill lvl of the rank your in

[elder quartz]

ther only good thing abt my irl is that he doesnt ball chase and sq people will ik for a fact

[inner finch]

done

[zenith delta]

You probably aren’t that much better than them

[spark tundra]

You should stop arguing against the answer’s you’re getting. You know what the problem is and you know how to solve it. You just have to accept it

[edgy scarab]

This right here^ best advice you could get @elder quartz

[elder quartz]

ur right

[spark tundra]

Sq is still rough at times but you are way more likely to get a teammate that has the same skill level as you which would allow you to focus more on getting better yourself instead of worrying about your teammate whiffing all the time

[elder quartz]

he just called me and told me to get on what do i do i dont wanna play with him anymore 😭

[wild stratus]

can someone coach me

so i’m at the point where i can get the flip reset pretty much every time and flick it in the net from underneath but i can’t flip reset and recover the air dribble for the goal - how do i do that? or at least train that? Someone told me to put attempts in gameplay highlights yesterday but i was asleep so i put them there now if anyone wants to help

[cyan sage]

would say around champ

[haughty bolt]

so ima feel like i am trash for the next 1000+ hours? lol

[cyan sage]

its just muscle memory lmao

[haughty bolt]

i wish i grew up on controller games, i feel stuck on playing mkb

[cyan sage]

aight send em

[prisma oak]

i did in #gameplay-highlights

[prisma oak]

watch example lol. No one does what he can do on kbm

[cyan sage]

ye okay , you need to boost into the flip reset

with good speed u can get the space to continue the play

u dont need to be perfect horizontal

[prisma oak]

hmmm so basically i need to go faster

[cyan sage]

second clip was perfect for a flip reset and then a follow up u just waited too much for the flip reset try to boost up to the ball too

[cyan sage]

not setup type of faster , i meant hit the ball harder and boost up to it

[prisma oak]

wdym by waited too much for the reset?

[cyan sage]

you waited for the ball to lose height and u lost ur speed

so when u hit the reset ur car didnt have any momentum

thats why u couldnt follow it up

[prisma oak]

so just get to the ball faster?

when it’s higher up?

[cyan sage]

basically

[elder quartz]

i always can get under the ball and like do a reset but i never get the reset

[cyan sage]

and hit the ball itself with good speed

[edgy scarab]

Anybody have tips on how they improved mechanically and overall? Looking for videos or ways to get better in specific. Currently C1

[fossil plaza]

its mostly trying new stuff in freeplay and doing custom training. Also if u take more risks with mechs in ranked or 1v1s you will eventually get consistent and overall better with mechs (tho u might see a decrease in rank to begin with if u start going for mechy stuff in ranked)

[edgy scarab]

My problem is I focus more on playing smart than mechanically so I’m not too good at any specific mechanics

I want to go for the mechy stuff but I feel I gotta learn it first and that’s the part I’m struggling with

Idk how or where to go to learn

[fossil plaza]

depends on what you are trying to learn

[edgy scarab]

I’m trying to start from simpler but necessary stuff and go to the more advanced stuff

Hard to pinpoint what I should go for tho

[fossil plaza]

would u like to talk about it in a call so i can go more in depth?

[edgy scarab]

Definitely. I’m out right now but I’ll be on a little later, is it cool if I add you then hit you up then?

[teal helm]

Center under the ball but slightly towards the side you’re approaching from

[stiff monolith]

sure broski (gc 1 1471 rn)

what are you struggling with?

[errant scaffold]

does air rolling to do spins when trying to reach a ball in the air make any difference as compared to just trying to reach it normally?

[teal helm]

Its slower

[stiff monolith]

its slower but usually more controlled (ideally not needed)

[errant scaffold]

The air rolling is slower?

[stiff monolith]

yeah

[errant scaffold]

Cool, thank you

[exotic berry]

Score flip resets

[stiff monolith]

yeah let go of boost right before you touch it (generally), very subtle, also just practice getting the touch instead of the airdribble. you need to hit it squarely so its perfect, not much room for error

[teal helm]

As soon as the ball bounces up you wanna (double) jump under it and lift your nose up. And obv if you have too much speed you will boom the ball

[exotic berry]

I see u score them all the time

[teal helm]

If you can put some clips in #gameplay-highlights we can help @wooden saffron

[teal helm]

Youre back 💋

[exotic berry]

Yes 🙌

[teal helm]

Alr just tag me

[errant scaffold]

Also in rumble comp, me and my teammates have often given up goals to opponents doing crazy unpredictable movement/aerial maneuvers after getting the spikes powerup, is it advisable for 1 person to stay back most of the game with a bunch of boost to counter it? This was in like plat range

[stiff monolith]

i do that sometimes having reached gc in it before, but i only ever do that if i have a lead and a powerup that counters shots (hook or freeze).

its just very limiting to offense if you stay back the whole time without using your powerups for goals (or cycling for better powerups)

[errant scaffold]

are any of the other powerups a direct counter to spikes?

[stiff monolith]

boot kinda, but i wouldnt stay back for that cuz you cant block other shots with it

[stiff monolith]

punch also works if they jump in the air

same for plunger kinda

spikes is not that strong as long as you play smart

[errant scaffold]

hi m8

[night gull]

whats ur issue with air dribbles, is it the setup, the control or boost management?

biggest advice would be to start dribbles from mid boost and feather with soft touches. that would solve both of your problems. your car should be at like a 75 degree angle under/behind the ball.

np

How do i get better at keeping the ball under my car?

Me

Me = middle east

I cant find a single tm8 from middle east

[left whale]

Training packs/maps (pc) to get out of high plat 3/low diamond 1?

[stiff monolith]

Literally Anything from the browse area is fine. Look for packs training defensive mechs (shadow defense, backwards saves, awkward saves, etc) and awkward/angled power shots on goal. P much anything within those lines work and you can find from the browse section anyways. For the defensive stuff make sure that not only are you saving it, but that the ball goes out to a safe area (usually the corners). Of course you can train fancy stuff but for strictly ranking up focusing on fundamentals is far more important

[left whale]

What abt in the air?

[clever grove]

Guys do you know a discord server for rocket league trades??

[timber finch]

anyone wanna play ? im new

[stiff monolith]

Just fly around lol. You can train shots in the air and there are plenty of packs in browse for that. It'll definitely help. It's just that training packs focus on one thing or one movement whereas ariel ability has more to do with a general feel for flying than a straightforward movement. Plus, at your rank, I think you'll find most success from strong shot placement and defensive ability.

[left whale]

Okay thank you

[stiff monolith]

Np. Also #1 mistake for you I can almost guarantee (cause it's true for most players all the way into GC) is rotations/pathing/positioning. Imo. good positioning will get you to champ easily without ever having to do anything more mechanically challenging than an ariel save.

[left whale]

I have good rotations i learnt that early and edcent positioning

[cyan sage]

Anyone dedicated to improve for free dm me 🙂

[stuck yacht]

Same as me sry I can’t help I’m plat 3 almost

[slender flume]

Bruh ranked is broken bcz Epic decided somehow to give a 3 rank demotion to everyone in s11

So now theres more smurfing bcz of them

Ty epic

I deserve champ and cant even get out d2

[unborn sequoia]

No you do not deserve champ 2 if you did you would be in champ 2

[stiff monolith]

^

[slender flume]

Bro d2 is like c1 rn

[unborn sequoia]

No it is not💀

[slender flume]

Then why theres old champs in 60% of my games

*acctually got with a gc in d3 tournament

[unborn sequoia]

Ya washed up champs that haven’t play in years

[slender flume]

He hitted a reset double tap up my head 💀

[unborn sequoia]

If you really think you deserve a better rank then your ones rank should prove it lol

[unborn sequoia]

Every one is mechanically good nowadays deal with it

I have gotten flip reset end on multiple times

[slender flume]

Bro in champ 1-2 its normal but mid d2 thats lame

[unborn sequoia]

What’s your ones rank?

Tracker?

[slender flume]

I ve got champ btw one month ago

[unborn sequoia]

Same here put in go between d3 and c1

[slender flume]

(But quicly got lost 3-1 bcz my old washed champ m8 decided to throw)

[unborn sequoia]

Bro that’s one match where that happened out of like 20

Stop blaming your tm8 for everything

[slender flume]

Bro i did some litle mistakes but he redirects the ball in the ground + 0 boost and give it away

And puts the blame on me why i didnt saved it

[unborn sequoia]

Rl is a tilting game but you can’t just blame tm8 for everything. There is a reason they are the same rank as you

Tm8s can be bad sometimes but they can also be good other times

50-50

Just depends how you play

[slender flume]

Btw my tracker is on ur dms

[slender flume]

And the reason why it dosent show c1 as peak its bcz i didnt stayed that long in the rank and lost the next match directly

[autumn fossil]

I just started playing 2 days ago any tips?

[stiff monolith]

get good camera and controller settings! turn camera shake off. if you want to be super competitive consider changing settings to turn off all the extra ambience. make sure goalposts are transparent. From there, just play the game and hit the ball. Eventually you'll progress to mechanics (ariels, dribbling, flicks blah blah blah) and positioning (rotating back post, boost pathing, blah blah blah). If you want to learn a mechanic for fun, I would recommend learning to half flip. Very useful and very easy

[severe pond]

Can anyone coach me

[dry stratus]

Check dms

[ivory quarry]

hi can somone coach me add me

[left whale]

Js hit D1 again for the 3rd time, any tips on how to not go back down?

[ivory quarry]

add me if u can

[hollow sable]

Can anyone coach me on how to air dribble ?

[rocky coral]

Don't ballchase, rotate, pay attention to tm8 boost, and don't steal goals and you might be stable

[left whale]

Okay thank yoiu

[rocky coral]

Np man

[ivory quarry]

hi can somone coach me in c1 div 3 add me if u can

[limber river]

Can anyone help me rank up

[rocky coral]

What rank are u

[fair moat]

I need a free coach rn anyone available?

[fair moat]

Dm me if I can get some free coaching rn

[teal helm]

Rank?

[fair moat]

2v2 gold 3div4 1v1 gold3div3

2v2 dropped cuz bad teammates

1v1 dropped cuz of me making simple mistakes

@teal helm

[teal helm]

Ah tbh at that rank you don’t really need coaching cause you will improve overall by just getting your hours up, it’s just about the basics in gold and plat

But I can look at some gameplay see if you’re making any major mistakes

[fair moat]

@teal helm uhm I've been staying in gold for past 4motnhs

I don't keep replays

[celest kiln]

is a 53% goal rate. 23.1% save rate, and a 23.9% assist rate good for a gold?

[limber river]

D2 was c2 can u help?

[teal helm]

dat zegt niks

[fair moat]

Your german is a bit off

[teal helm]

It’s not german its dutch

Like his username

[fair moat]

It sounds very german and means this shows or meam nothing

[slate trail]

how can you show sm1 your replays?

[fair moat]

Anyway can you coach me please I already have like 1 or more k hours

[teal helm]

Yes cause german and dutch are very similar. I can read german and understand most if it even though I don’t speak the language

[fair moat]

Just like Bulgarian and russian

[teal helm]

If you record a match and send it to me I’ll give you tips

[fair moat]

I prefer live coaching tbf

Like we get into a training room you show me what you do I try to repeat and stuff

[serene maple]

hey I got a problem I am higher skill than bronz3 but I can't get past it why?

[pure plume]

literally just play the game

[serene maple]

I do

like slot

alot*

[pure plume]

no but bronze shouldn't be a problem for anyone tbh

[serene maple]

....

I'm in bronze versing golds

[teal helm]

Doesn’t work like that, but a live coach could help you with decisionmaking live in matches, tell you what to do where to go for etc

[pure plume]

kinda doubt it but ok

[serene maple]

they over there hitting flipper slips and I'm justtryna play

[pure plume]

what playlist

[nocturne valley]

Yoo , anyone got tips for a plat 3 freestyler

[pure plume]

what can you do so far

[nocturne valley]

Flip resets , musty , ceiling shots, doubles taps , wave dashes, zap dash, horse dash, I can kind of do wall dash, yuh think dats it

[pure plume]

are you able to combo any mechs?

[fair moat]

That's what I need

[pure plume]

like for example reset to musty

[dry stratus]

Check dms

[nocturne valley]

I have did a flip reset musty into a double tap

[teal helm]

Yea it’s a good way of coaching. Not gonna be me tho don’t have time to get into it that much

[pure plume]

alr what do you wanna learn then

training air dribbles to make them as long and controlled as possible is always good to give you that air control

[nocturne valley]

Hmmm, I don’t really know I just need to get back to diamond

[austere trench]

Gamesense

[nocturne valley]

And my settings a bit slow

[idle schooner]

ok

[austere trench]

You're probably a bit dumb in that respect

[pure plume]

soo you're asking for freestyle advice but you want to learn comp?

[teal helm]

Are you asking tips to rank up or?

[pure plume]

that's what I'm wondering

[teal helm]

Cause the answer would be stop freestyling in comp

[nocturne valley]

Yuh

[pure plume]

then why add "freestyler" if you're looking for comp tips 🤨

[nocturne valley]

Like do I jus do ground controls most of time

In comp?

[austere trench]

Work on your gamesense

[pure plume]

getting consistent with dribbles and at least 1 type of flick is huge

[nocturne valley]

Aight

[nocturne valley]

Aight

[teal helm]

And literally stop freestyling in comp cause you’re making it a lot harder for yourself

Ppl don’t even flip reset in comp till Gc1 its not needed

[pure plume]

gamesense obviously too but your rank honestly doesn't require gamesense. For long term purposes that's also a priority but if your end goal is just dia then it's secondary

[pure plume]

even in gc1 it's super inconsistent for most people

[dry stratus]

Depends. If you prefect it in like c2 its deadly

But yeah you dont really need it till like ssl lol

[teal helm]

Yeah that’s true.

[dry stratus]

Have a homie in gc3 with almost no mechanics just the basics

[pure plume]

true but really inefficient use of your time

[dry stratus]

Very true but once you master it its deadly

[pure plume]

yep yep

[teal helm]

But with overall skill level plat 3 it’s not really possible to master any of the mechs he named to such a degree where it’s actually useful in matches

[dry stratus]

Its still deadly in gc1 but there you have to be able to master it while looking at where the opponent is going

[teal helm]

Probably giving himself a disadvantage by overcomplicating simple shots

[timid basalt]

join private match name 0000 no password

[dry stratus]

Exactly. Until like c2 there’s no need to master any mechs, just master the basic aerial and ground control and you’ll learn the mechs then easily

[dry stratus]

Didnt find

[teal helm]

Real

[pure plume]

yeah that's what made me super confused, thought he was asking for freestyling advice not comp tips 😩

[teal helm]

I agree from C2 ish is where ppl have the basics and consistency down and it becomes more about keeping possession and outplaying others

[teal helm]

yea

[dry stratus]

2018 me knew how to breezi in plat

😎

[teal helm]

[dry stratus]

Every damn time i play with lower level people i just tell them to literally keep the ball in front of them and when the opponent pushes just 50/50 it but they boom it

[pure plume]

it's the primitive ooga booga caveman instinct that's dormant within all of us

[dry stratus]

See bal hit bal

[pure plume]

it's like if you see a big rock on the riverbed you just HAVE to throw it in and make as big of a splash you can

[dry stratus]

True dat

[tidal yew]

bro so real youre literally giving possesion

[dry stratus]

Champ 1 players when the 90kmh shot they shot from the other side doesn’t go past 2 defenders with full boost:

🤯😤😖

[tidal yew]

c2 c3 included

im c2 bro idek how

its crazy im sm more consistent

[limber river]

Can anyone help me rank up

[past fractal]

i didnt really see consistency until gc2

[teal helm]

In c2 c3 I feel like they realize they have to keep more possession, but they all abandon their 1s so lack the skill to do do. Hilarious to watch

[tidal yew]

literally

and the positional sense

why are you licking my rear exhaust pipe?

[teal helm]

Real

I also love the dribbling attempts where they run out of boost and panic and still pass the ball to me

[tidal yew]

so real the mechs are so awful to watch

[storm onyx]

CAN SOMEIONE TEACH ME HOW TO DO A DOUBLE OR TRIPEL RESET

[fierce kindle]

i gotchu

[tight plaza]
