gameplay-tips

[deep flint]

I need some tips

I'm so bad I feel like I can't improve

[raw ruin]

If youre LF coaching Dm me or if you need help with mechanics, any rank :)

[vestal knot]

mmmm no

[unkempt charm]

we good bro

[vestal knot]

oh, mine was a joke...

bros actually goated with the coaching

[hidden bramble]

im badddd

[unkempt charm]

I'm ssl but I know my take on that is probably not the best. Just my opinion

[nimble heath]

Anyone know what is the best way to get better in the air ( am plat )

[vestal knot]

freeplay and just try staying in the air

make yourself awkward and get out of it

im gc with only the basic mechs so i would agree

[unkempt charm]

Yeah 100% learning mechanics early on won't help you rank up faster but it will help you become better faster.
I think most players don't actually have good mechanics until mid gc3

[vestal knot]

bros the opposite of me

im dec on the ground but im not hitting like triple resets in the air or anything like that

[unkempt charm]

I found it really easy and fast to learn game sense from playing just 1s for a while

[vestal knot]

i try to never touch 1s

not optimal ik but makes me tilt

only game mode that actually gets me heated

[unkempt charm]

Probably better off grinding 2s than and also watching an unhealthy amount of pro 2s lobbies 😭

[vestal knot]

im getting some double resets more often mane

[raw ruin]

heck yea

yea, your gamespeed is fine but you have problems with defending @wise smelt

and boost management

idk how you play on 4 steering

nope

xbox or ps4-5 con

no

im in the mainframe

whats deadzone

dang youre still on 4? whats aerial

high sense inconsistant but you can be more mechanical

whats youre on

anything above 2 is high sense

sens*

[vestal knot]

im 2.2 for airial

[raw ruin]

thats fine

[unkempt charm]

I went from 2.3 sens to 1.5 and immediately noticed myself being more consistent

Define mechy

[raw ruin]

i played on 2.9 2.9 .09 for a bit

then swapped to 1.3 1.3 .05 went up 200 mmr

[unkempt charm]

Oh I would say so, but I definitely don't have freestyle mechs if that's what ur talking about

[raw ruin]

i can give you pointers @wise smelt

[unkempt charm]

After switching from 2.3 to 1.5 I went from 1720 to 1900 😭

that math adds up

[raw ruin]

peak 2100 current like 1800 since i havent play any really this season

coaching more

i have like 60 games

yea im washed

i peaked last season so im just chillin now, hit my goal

yea

[solar plaza]

reduces the minimum input value

so if you have sens maxed you can only do max value inputs

[raw ruin]

youre playing too passive in your 2s games btw @wise smelt

you got time i can go over it rq

could you watch your screen

mans a kitchen gamer, i was one for 5 years

yea

i have a big kitchen so i just had my desk in their, i try to make my room tech free bc i wanna train my body that bedroom for night night

[whole kettle]

Anyone able to maybe have a look at some replays of mine? I’ve hit GC a few times (somehow peaked GC2) but currently sat at C2. Currently working on mechs as ik I’m slacking on that department. This is all in 2s

[raw ruin]

yep

[unkempt charm]

just wait after a few days, ur gonna be a complete new player 😂

[raw ruin]

@wise smelt answer'

[burnt torrent]

someone explain why i play bad against plats but when i play against a gc i play better

[hushed mulch]

Can an1 help me reach champ I'm stuck in diamond 3

[warm mantle]

Yo are they gonna bring trading back

[oak fern]

Can any1 help me reach plat im gold 2 in 2s and started the game a week ago

[leaden sparrow]

Can someone help me get better at air dribbling, i have a clip of me trying to air dribble so far. Just redownloaded game on friday would apperiate some help.

[fair kernel]

Any tips to get out of diamond 3

[fair kernel]

Press the brakes as soon as u hit the ball, improve boost timing

[leaden sparrow]

yeah but im just terrible at air dribbling its self

[fair kernel]

Ye I used to be terrible at air dribbling for the longest time too ngl, what I did was try to attempt them in casual 1v1s and ask for a freestyle 1v1 and attempt them on the go. Also practice the set up again and again

[leaden sparrow]

can i send you the clip of me trying to air dirbble?

[fair kernel]

K sure

[deft lark]

For the love of god someone ban these ssl boosters

[balmy tapir]

why don't I know what that means

[glass atlas]

any tips on how to not have a tm8 leave your 2's match 13 games in a row so far and lose hundreds of mmr within an hour or 2?

[oak glacier]

if ur tm8 leaves 13 games in a row its for sure ur fault

you are doing something that is making every tm8 want to quit

[maiden root]

hi

[oak glacier]

hi wya

[maiden root]

I join to ts

The victim blaming goes crazy

[oak glacier]

having 13 tm8s leave on u without it being ur fault is rarer than winning the lottery

[maiden root]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

We dk the context

[oak glacier]

and considering that u get banned for 5 minutes after u leave early its probably a new tm8 every time

[maiden root]

Either way it's not hard to get it back

[balmy tapir]

hate how this happens

I get banned bc bad internet

[oak glacier]

its definitely his fault tho he is probably doing something dumb in ranked

[maiden root]

Rip

[balmy tapir]

then I can't play for 5 minutes

[maiden root]

Everyone's always doing something dumb in ranked

[oak glacier]

13 tm8s in a row just isnt happening

[maiden root]

It's ranked lmao nobody's good

[oak glacier]

he probably steals his tm8s balls and boost and stuff

[maiden root]

I would too if they were dookie

[oak glacier]

@glass atlas what rank are you

[lunar mantle]

should i use auto roll to left? im so used to manual

[oak glacier]

air roll left?

[lunar mantle]

yea

[oak glacier]

i mean its all preference but air roll left and right are way more popular

[cyan sage]

Who wanna coach me for free I’m gc1

[oak glacier]

dont give opponents open nets

[cyan sage]

yh stfu

[oak glacier]

lmao im telling u the truth if ur talking about 1s

[maiden root]

He's right

Stop overcommitting

Learn to balance ball and boost

Learn how to shadow

Learn positions where you can or can't challenge

[wheat wagon]

anyone want's to analyze my replays

[shell thorn]

society says directional, but either can be used fine.

[shell thorn]

nice pfp, MF DOOM?

[wheat wagon]

yessir

[maiden root]

Directional is just easier

And used in more situations

[shell thorn]

its preference/subjective

[maiden root]

Bit harder to control your car in the air too since you're limiting your movement

[maiden root]

Um

[lunar mantle]

it easier

[maiden root]

Not really unless you're kbm

[shell thorn]

e.g., you've been using free air roll for 3,000 hours, and try to switch to directional. obviously free air roll will be easier. it's illogical to make a statement like this.

[lunar mantle]

what does e.g. stands for?

[shell thorn]

exempli gratia is what it legitimately stands for, but it's a latin phrase meaning "for example" adopted as formal.

[hidden bramble]

I JUST HIT MY FIRST DOUBLE TAP

[lunar mantle]

oh alr

[wheat wagon]

k cool nice yay

[shell thorn]

congrats!

[hidden bramble]

im only plat

[maiden root]

You put 100 hrs on directional and you'll feel the difference

It's literally easier

[hidden bramble]

time to learn musty flick

[maiden root]

You're in plat learn the basics pls

[hidden bramble]

i know them

[wheat wagon]

lil bro thinks he is gonna rank up with mechs

[hidden bramble]

yes

[shell thorn]

i've tried both, i prefer free.

[wheat wagon]

your opponent is next to the ball near the wall and you are shadowing him which way do you take the ball outwards or inwards?

[lunar mantle]

i got plenty at gold 💀

[maiden root]

So you have no mechs

👍

[hidden bramble]

outwards

i didnt understand the question that much

[maiden root]

You dont

[hidden bramble]

for my level its enough

i aint gc or anything

[shell thorn]

look, all i'm trying to say, is you denying that either bind can be easier, depending on the person, is like me telling you, "i dislike onions," and you responding with, "no you don't, onions are literally good."

[maiden root]

Bro

One requires 2 inputs

The other requires 1

And gives you more options to modify your movement

[shell thorn]

you missed my point

[hidden bramble]

are yall ssl

[old sleet]

Can anyone 1v1 me and tell me what I need to improve on

[maiden root]

Yes

[maiden root]

No I didnt

[lunar mantle]

can i send youtube videos here?

unlisted

[hidden bramble]

whats ur user

[maiden root]

I'm trying to explain why directional is physically better and gives you more options

[viscid cipher]

i mean you can prefer what ever you want but you have more freedome and control with directional airrol which makes it better it has nothing to do with liking it or not

[hidden bramble]

so when is free air roll used

[maiden root]

Idk a lot of people that use it at all anymore

[hidden bramble]

i use it for those ground shots so the corner of your car hits the ball

[maiden root]

Most good players binded both directional and learned both

Including me

[hidden bramble]

like zen?

[viscid cipher]

i use both left and right airoll

[hidden bramble]

yall are too advanced

i cant even master normal air roll

[maiden root]

Didn't zen use like

Joystick directional

Press stick to spin lmao

[lunar mantle]

https://youtu.be/pIwwpbqcvVw

help

[keen epoch]

can ANYONE who know how to air dribble help with me notice what im doing wrong since ive spent hour working on it over months and i still cant do it😭

[maiden root]

Sure

Send clips

[white sable]

I think he has it on his triggers so he can change how much he is directional air rolling by just pressing it down less

[keen epoch]

i dont got any tbh😭

[maiden root]

Could be

[white sable]

actually super smart binds tbh instead of having it on bumper where its either on or off

[maiden root]

Go in training and take a few

[maiden root]

I use bumper cuz it's easier for me

[keen epoch]

alr if u want ill be in a vc in here if u want to see ur self and ill screenshare in case lol

but ill get some clips as well

nvm i cant do screenshares 😭 i didnt know that tbh

[maiden root]

I'd rather have the triggers stick to movement cuz I'd screw myself in the air

Js send clips in dms

[white sable]

yea i have it on bumper too im just sayin getting good with it on bumper would probably add that little extra percision

i never gonna change it tho that too much work to relearn

[keen epoch]

alr

i had to compress it since i had to record instead of clipping since i didnt want to press it 20 times💀

[maiden root]

Lmao

[fresh arrow]

Expert research and scientists have confirmed that vegetarianism is closely related to preventing various diseases, climate abnormalities, ecological catastrophes, food crises, and rising prices. Choosing a vegetarian diet will be of great help in solving current social problems.

[shell thorn]

oh, ok, wait. i take back what i said.

[maiden root]

Cuz yeah if you're used to one then it easier for you

[shell thorn]

to be completely honest with you, you're definitely right, i just felt like debating to see if i could get anywhere.

[vale portal]

Why did I get pinged twice

[shell thorn]

yea, but you made a good point with the, "do it for 100h."

[buoyant monolith]

FALSE

MEAT IS GOOD

[lunar mantle]

can you go dm?

[lunar mantle]

💀

bro came here to promote vegetarianism

[maiden root]

Ty

So did you and I do get where you were coming from

But things are always gonna be easier when you're used to doing something for a while

[shell thorn]

yea

and with multiple inputs, it's bound to be harder.

inevitable

[maiden root]

Mostly cuz you gotta pick a side with your stivk

[shell thorn]

yea, rather than a single input

[maiden root]

Which also limits the modifications that you can put in your movement

But at the same time I never personally used free air roll like that since mechs weren't rly popular when directional wasn't a thing yet

Just basic stuff

[keen epoch]

bro im generally question how to get the ball to pop up right for a wall to air dribble😭

ive bene trying and i cant get it for anything

[viscid cipher]

helping with adv mechs dm me

[lunar mantle]

can you help dms?

[buoyant monolith]

wayton's air dribble tutorial

[maiden root]

Roll it up

Match the speed and hit it

[shell thorn]

i've always used it, just too lazy to switch, to be honest.

[maiden root]

Fair enough

[zealous blaze]

who can teach me how to Triple dash

Please

[viscid cipher]

Jc

[split skiff]

ahh cant even do a quad🙏 😭

[hidden bramble]

yea

[real hazel]

Look at what I text u

[pale yacht]

this rldatacoach is so frikken good

I uploaded 10 replays, went through what it said i should improve, and my gameplay was much more solid

[maiden root]

Fire

[slow magnet]

guys i overclocked my ps4 controller and ds4 windows input delay went from 4ms to 0.50ms is that good for my controller do i change it back?

[maiden root]

I hit a psycho on some c2s in 3s and one of em sent it back with a psycho

[white sable]

what kinda c2 lobbies are you in

[maiden root]

Most mind-blowing display of mechs I've seen in a lobby like that

[pale yacht]

bro you need to clip that XD

[maiden root]

I clipped my part not his 😂😂

[pale yacht]

im not even kidding tho, if yall wanna improve i genuinely recommend this thing

[maiden root]

I ain't see that

[pale yacht]

https://rldatacoach.com

very new, tenacity did a vid with it

[maiden root]

Gotcha

[pale yacht]

and so i tried it out, and genuinely the games i played after i practiced what it recommended felt way better

[maiden root]

What rank is he in 1s again

[pale yacht]

my stats said my defence wasnt great and my kickoffs werent great, so i trained those earlier today...
Whole day i played, i barely conceded any goals after I touched up my defencive rotations and all, and then my kickoffs were like 90% wins instead of being a 50/50 chance of losing the ball off kickoff

[pale yacht]

im not too sure

[maiden root]

I'll check it out

I wonder what it would say ABT me with a 1420 1v1 replay

[copper oracle]

how 2 air dribble for some reason i end above the balls nit below on my wall air drivbles

[pale yacht]

dmd it to you

hi

[mild solar]

chat how can i get a coach

i suck so much

[wind wharf]

do u know any packs?

Okay thx

[silver surge]

someone teach me mechanics in my private match 😦

[deep anvil]

can anyone coach me im gold 3

tomorrow though

[shell thorn]

at gold III, you should work on shots (accuracy, power); basic maneuvers (half flips, wave dashes); simple rotations (no overcommitting, getting back, etc).

let me know if you want the full guide.

[deep anvil]

im good at most of these just need some help with like positioning in 2s, also just consistency with certain angle shots but i think thats just practice

[shell thorn]

exactly, practice is key there.

there are many good videos, if you just look up "2v2 rotations rocket league" on youtube.

[deep anvil]

alright thanks a bunch🙏🙏

[shell thorn]

yep!

[silver surge]

someone teach me mechanics 😦

[timid quest]

sorry just got back you still willing?

[elfin radish]

how to deal w tms who arent that good

[gray rampart]

I hate learning air rolls

[gray rampart]

Bro is not getting helped 😭

[silver surge]

teach me 😦

air dribble

no i keep dropping it

[shell thorn]

play passively around them, focus on not overcommitting more than you already do. make sure you're getting back to help them out with defending moreso than if they were an average-skilled teammate.

[elfin radish]

what do i do when they boot it up and get their corner boost leaving me in a 2v1

[balmy tapir]

got shots, half flips, and wavedashes, tryna work on rotations

[shell thorn]

if you have enough time, try to allow for them to come back and help you. if not, don't dive, but quickly contest the opponents attack, hopefully preventing, e.g., a shot off of the backboard, a pass, or a demo/bump play.

[elfin radish]

alt thx

[shell thorn]

for 2v2?

[nimble stump]

anyone wanna make me a montage

[balmy tapir]

yes

Allstar IV’s 2v2 Rotation Tutorial --> https://youtu.be/vHiTUOKDqfE?si=cpnxMpIezqgRYCBq

a little older, but helpful, nonetheless.

[hearty tundra]

What are good camera settings

[shell thorn]

preference, but you could always go on liquipedia and see pros' settings.

[stray blade]

does any1 have any tips to get out of plat

[shell thorn]

are you currently I, II, or III?

[stray blade]

2

id say i have decent mecs and game sense for plat but ive been stuck for 2 year

[shell thorn]

work on shots (accuracy, power); basic maneuvers (half-flips, wave dashes); simple rotations (no overcommitting, getting back).

let me know if you want the full guide.

[stray blade]

ye i do all that

idk should i look for coaching

see what im doing wrong?

[shell thorn]

yep, but, as a platinum, you can improve in shots and rotations.

[stray blade]

ill try

[shell thorn]

i wouldn't, i think coaching below champion is not very beneficial. maybe diamond.

[stray blade]

should i train pinches

[shell thorn]

no, they're not beneficial in almost any rank, especially platinum.

[spark frost]

its helpful but youll get more just by playing the game

coaching really only helps a lot from like gc2+ (in my experience)

[shell thorn]

yea, definitely don't rely on it, but if you're genuinely stuck, it can help you get going a bit.

[obtuse sundial]

Does anyone have any recommendations for bakkes mod maps for diamond

[stray blade]

YOU CAN GET MAPS ON BAKKESMOD

HOW

[obtuse sundial]

Like training

[stray blade]

like rings maps?

[obtuse sundial]

Workshop maps

[stray blade]

how

[obtuse sundial]

You don’t know how to get ring maps?

[stray blade]

nah

[obtuse sundial]

You on pc?

[stray blade]

i have the map but idk how to play it

epic games

[obtuse sundial]

Well wanna 1v1

[stray blade]

what rank

[obtuse sundial]

I’m gold 3

[stray blade]

sure

wait nvm i cant

but how do you play maps with bakkes mod

[obtuse sundial]

Search it up

[whole kettle]

Anyone able to maybe have a look at some replays of mine? I’ve hit GC a few times (somehow peaked GC2) but currently sat at C2. Currently working on mechs as ik I’m slacking on that department. This is all in 2s

[raw ruin]

sure @whole kettle

[near river]

I'm stuck at gold 3 or plat 1
And i heard people on YouTube say to learn to hit the ball with the front of your car

But most of the time in Ariel i would jump once and then use the dodge to adjust right before hitting the ball. Is that good or should i not use dodge but instead just get better at hitting with the front

[shell thorn]

at that point, work on shots (accurate and powerful) as a whole.

i would do freeplay or training packs found under "browse"

[clever tiger]

Same wanna play 2s tomorrow

[placid zenith]

Does anyone gold and below need training

[night cave]

can anyone help me with my positioning and stuff, i’m a new diamond player

[sour coyote]

yeah can i get a coach too

[split skiff]

hello

[mellow gorge]

guys any ides how to get out of silver 3 (stuck since over 90 hours), i know basic mechanics and i feel like i have good gamesense, imo im lacking in consistency, i cant really control the ball for too long. Any idea how i can become consistent with ball control (especially during aerials)

[pulsar solstice]

ey

@mellow gorge

wanna vs me im silver 3

later tho

[split skiff]

good man wbu

u still gc1?

ur bad hehe😭

uhm🤫

hehe

nicee

ws vanity😭

[raw ruin]

how do i jump restart @split skiff @wise smelt

crap

[manic badge]

Noo u need rocket pass 🤦‍♂️

And to buy the gold octane

Only the gold octane can flip restart because it’s gold

Gold = superior

[warped umbra]

Some one can help me In binds

[obtuse sundial]

If O is my right air roll and square is my left is that fine or should I change

[whole kettle]

I'd personally rccomend bumpers for air roll, or a pressing on a joystick

[warped umbra]

L2 ,r2?

[obtuse sundial]

My right bumper is boost and my left bumper is power slide

[jaunty niche]

so whats you left airoll?

[whole kettle]

You can have multiple binds to 1 button

[whole kettle]

Bumpers, not triggers So R1 for right and L1 for left

Thats what I use

[warped umbra]

?

[jaunty niche]

yea but wouldnt that feel weird i fear that if i held my left bumper with airoll on and and powerslide i mess up my landing

[whole kettle]

Pressing a Joystick for free air roll and bumpers directional is a good way to do it imo

[warped umbra]

So how do u boost

[whole kettle]

I got my powerslide and air roll left both of L1

[whole kettle]

I use O to boost and X to jump

[warped umbra]

So how do u speed flip

[warped umbra]

.

U claw

?

[jaunty niche]

so you dont mess up your landing even though you have those on?

[whole kettle]

Nope standard

[warped umbra]

So how the fuc u speed flip

Pls teach me your ways master

🤲

🙏🏻

[whole kettle]

Wdym how do I speed flip< I use my joystick mainly

[warped umbra]

U can’t press jump and boast a r the same time

U use one finger

[jaunty niche]

yea use it on both of the buttons

[warped umbra]

How

There is some tutorial on that

It’s possible to get consistent w it

[jaunty niche]

idk thats how i do it i just put my finger in between the jump and boost button

[warped umbra]

And u can hit musty pack like 5 times in a row ?

[jaunty niche]

.....

idk about all that

[warped umbra]

Yes or no😫

[warped umbra]

Ok

[warped umbra]

?

[jaunty niche]

on what speed flipping?

[warped umbra]

No

[whole kettle]

My thumb presses both at same time

[warped umbra]

Pressing the fat finger jump and boost

[jaunty niche]

thats what im sayin

[whole kettle]

I use my middle fingers for the triggers, index for bumpers

[warped umbra]

Can u beat some one who who boost on bumpers w it

?

[jaunty niche]

i cant do allat it feel weird

[whole kettle]

Yes, I've been using these binds for abt 2,5k hrs if not more

[warped umbra]

U can do hit the ball at the musty pack like that

?

[jaunty niche]

my hours are messed up i been playing for 2 years but playstations says i been playing for 253 hours???/

[whole kettle]

Musty pack?

You mean flick?

[warped umbra]

I just can’t get that right . There is maybe a tutorial on that on yt that u may know ?

[whole kettle]

At the end of the day, your binds are yours, do what feels comfortable to you

[warped umbra]

What u think about air roll right on l1 and l2 left

Is it good?

[whole kettle]

If that works for you then yh, I just prefer mine on the bumpers

[whole kettle]

It does feel wierd at first, but for me it was beneficial

It felt weird to me using my middle fingers for the triggers and middle fingers for the bumpers, but 99% of the time my left middle finger is resting under the Left trigger and the right trigger is pretty much always compressed

[jaunty niche]

im really just trying to hit champ im stuck in high diamond becuase my mechs are somewhat decent thats the only reason why im stuck i just gotta work on those

heck i cant even air dribble

im only good i at wave dashes, redirects, and passing plays

i think thats why im in diamond anyways

[whole kettle]

Nah man, Im C2 and I cant do a lot of mechanics, but I have been here for abt 4 years, I've peaked GC2 but I dont play nearly as much as I used to. I can help you with some of the more easier advanced mechanics if you want?

[white sable]

if you are trying to get out of diamond then learning flashy mechs is not how you gonna get there

if u wanna learn them that fine but for ranking up there are things that will get you there faster mainly just good positioning

[whole kettle]

Thats true, mechs arent needed for ranking up. You can get SSL with no mechs

[white sable]

i mean you do need good mechs but those mechs are like shadow defence, getting good first touches with power etc rather than freestyle mechs

[whole kettle]

When I say mechs I mean the freestyle ones

[white sable]

yea makes sense then

[whole kettle]

Im learning them currently just fir myself as a player and confidence

[white sable]

yea nothing wrong with learning them i just feel like a lot of people especially like plat/diamond think that learning air dribbles is gonna make them rank up lol

i was that plat at one time too tho so I cant blame them

[whole kettle]

I learnt air dribs in bronze LOL,

But thats when they were starting to become very popular

[white sable]

nah thats crazy work

i didnt know there were actually people in bronze

[whole kettle]

This was OG season 4, when this ranking system came out

[white sable]

yea makes more sense then but still crazy

[whole kettle]

I made Challenger 3 so I thought I was good

[jaunty niche]

my bad took a nap im not saying i need all the flashy mechanicss to rank up im just pointing out how i got to diamond without them i used more coms and strategy if i knew i was playing against people out of my leauge

but im saying im just really stuck on defense and offense mechanics

anyways im goin back to sleep

[feral prawn]

Can anyhelp me get better at this game pleas I'm decent

[whole kettle]

How decent is decent?

[feral prawn]

Well I've seen how my rank acts and I think I belong higher so I call myself decent

Witch is silver

Trust me it will be worth your time helping me out

[whole kettle]

How are you silver? Im only bronze 1

[feral prawn]

Well

I don't know

Do u wanna play

I guess I could try help u

And how r u bronze 1

That should be impossible

[whole kettle]

I only got the game yesterday

[feral prawn]

Oh

Dam wanna call?

I'll help u

What its your epic?

K wait

I add you

[white sable]

yea

[lost plume]

Wait im go rl

[raw ruin]

@whole kettle any inprovements so far

[sinful stratus]

this was true in season 1. not anymore 1700 requires a good amount of mechanics/advanced mechs 1800 you wont reach without and thats not even ssl yet

[white sable]

ngl i was kinda thinking the same thing but im also not ssl so wasnt sure

[whole kettle]

In C3

[sinful stratus]

yeah i mean it is what is it at least from my experience when i get on alts to play with friends 1800-1900 is still way to mechanical for them

[raw ruin]

sick! is it easier now?

[whole kettle]

Easier-ish, im fighting my minkey brain

[raw ruin]

it takes time

[sinful stratus]

you replay reviewed him brett?

[whole kettle]

Yh and he said I shouldn't be my rank I should be Plat at best and he doesnt know how I was C2 🙂

[raw ruin]

^^^

[buoyant monolith]

what is your rank

[whole kettle]

Im just trying to get better Mechanically and hold a consistant GC

[raw ruin]

im gold 3

[sinful stratus]

respectable goal tbh

[whole kettle]

I've got a GC2 peak, I can get to GC but when I get there it's a 20-80 chance I can get my rewards before going back to C2

[sinful stratus]

so a return gc peaker hm

[buoyant monolith]

F

[sinful stratus]

obviously i dont wanna be that guy who coaches sm1 who just got coaching but if your up i would be down to go over a replay with you at some point

[raw ruin]

can you review my heatseeker? @sinful stratus

[sinful stratus]

is that like a serious request or a joke as you did 2 before

[buoyant monolith]

what is ur rank

[sinful stratus]

ssl

[raw ruin]

[buoyant monolith]

do you do replay analysis for free?

[sinful stratus]

yeah

my best review spots are 2k-2.3k so yeah

im guessing your a troll and not a coach

[buoyant monolith]

nice pfp lol

[sinful stratus]

i will not waste time with you anymore have a good day man

[sinful stratus]

tyty you got a chill one too

?

[white sable]

no way he was actually reviewing heatseeker games lmao

[raw ruin]

yea he helped me alot!

[sinful stratus]

i mean guys just trolling it is what it is

get better humour man like seriously

[raw ruin]

[white sable]

nah imagine paying someone to get a replay review and you send them a heatseeker game thats crazy

[raw ruin]

hahahahahaha

[whole kettle]

I wouldn't say no, you may pick up on other things

An hour and a half before I gotta start getting ready for work, lets see if I can get the GC

[raw ruin]

[whole kettle]

Currently on a 8 game win streak

[raw ruin]

you can do it

oh snaaap

[whole kettle]

All goals so far in my game have been own goals lol

[sinful stratus]

brother just grow up man you dont know me i dont know you

yes you are correct

[ebon socket]

can someone analyze my replay

i dont do vc tho

[whole kettle]

Like a me

[ebon socket]

okay

wait wdym by 2300, like mmr?

[raw ruin]

yea!

[ebon socket]

oh ok

[sinful stratus]

how am i gc2? show me proof of that

who then go on

wrong so you clearly aint know me

[ebon socket]

butter can u analyze my replay then

[sinful stratus]

you can guess again tho

[whole kettle]

Makew that a 9 game win streak

[sinful stratus]

brett you dont know me brotha considering my alts get gc3 i stream games in gc3 with champ friends and win i upload replays and show my games off on multiple platforms

[whole kettle]

Im a champ friend now right?

[raw ruin]

im sure

[sinful stratus]

prove me wrong then so far you got my location wrong and my rank

[raw ruin]

can i watch the stream send a link!

[whole kettle]

When do Mechs start coming somewhat important?

[raw ruin]

gc1-2

[sinful stratus]

c3

[sinful stratus]

and you dodge the ask to provide proof. you dont know me

send it then

[white sable]

bro is a top tier ragebaiter

[whole kettle]

What mechs should I focus learning? currently learning resets

[sinful stratus]

no

im finding a channel to tell you to go to

go to #gameplay-highlights

even that screenshot proves your whole "not 1800" and that was just after placements homie

[whole kettle]

No 10 game winstreak sad

9 is still pretty good going tho

[white sable]

9 is pre insane

[whole kettle]

I mean my best is going from Plat 1 div 2 to D1 div 3 without loosing

[white sable]

did you just not play ranked at that point or what

no way you were struggling in p1 and then got to d1 like that

[whole kettle]

This was in 3s, I hyadn't playhed 3s for 3 years

[sinful stratus]

gives you multiple diff accs and somehow you know me as a gc2? when all the accs are gc3-ssl. wild you want my replays for the last 2 years?

[raw ruin]

erm i didnt know 1680 was gc3

[sinful stratus]

check the tracker pal it was afk then given to a friend. i have that recorded in clips if you need those too man.

you cant provide any argument or proof. you dont know me i dont know any brett your just a salty c1

show me your accs if your so high level and know me show me the accs you know me from

[raw ruin]

mhmm

[sinful stratus]

still 0 proof. dam you just nothing but a person who accuses

[raw ruin]

i already put them in highlights

[whole kettle]

GC 1435 right?

[raw ruin]

i smoked him for you xylo

1435 yes

[whole kettle]

wdym you smoked him for me?

[raw ruin]

dang lost the streak but bounces back with another 3

good crap xylo

[whole kettle]

Looking at my tracker are ya?

[raw ruin]

yesssir

[whole kettle]

):

Well turn the 3 into a 4

[spiral totem]

everytme i reach d3 div 3-4 i go on a 6+ games lose streak

i just got back to the game 4 days ago

so frustrating

[whole kettle]

Dont rage q

[spiral totem]

i dont rage quit at all im super chill tbh

[whole kettle]

What I mean by rage q is when losing

[spiral totem]

i dont stop when i lose either

i always end on a win

like i say im gonn aget off when im c1 which would be 1-2 games away then i lose 6-8 games in a row

then i win a game or two then get off

[white sable]

personally if i lose 2 in a row i take it as my sign to hop off ranked, really helps avoid the loss streaks

[spiral totem]

i should really start doing that

[white sable]

ill go 3 if i know i playing well but no more cuz if you losing 3 in a row chances are you are just not playing good at the time

[whole kettle]

And just keep qing cause you feel like you have to

[spiral totem]

yea

[whole kettle]

Take a 10-15 min brake

[spiral totem]

ill give it a try

im gonnna hop on right after my class ends

will try to get someone in #looking-for-group AND WILL Q

oops caps

[whole kettle]

For me 1 lose 3 in a row I get off

And damn man I just lost a game cause I stopped focussing as hard

[spiral totem]

mb g

[whole kettle]

Aint blaming you

I thought it was a win sos topped

[spiral totem]

lmao ik ik

[spiral totem]

what was the time and score

[whole kettle]

4-1 with a min left

we were playing well and I screwed it

Ended up losing in OT

[spiral totem]

dangg

[whole kettle]

Well thats a 3 game loss streak so time to go off

[pale yacht]

ouch

[raw ruin]

still made some gains

Hi

[spiral nexus]

who can coach me in the basics of airdribbling and all the other mechanics? for free?

[shell thorn]

do you still want some tips?

[dusk creek]

ye ig

[shell thorn]

few things to think about and work on in low diamond:

boost management: prioritize small boost pads to stay in the play instead of constantly leaving the play.

consistent positions: diamonds often push too far, make sure to not overcommit, could play a bit more defensive.

recoveries: getting back quick is beneficial, don't linger if you can help it.

simple aerials + basic mechanics: you don't need advanced mechanics like air dribbles an stuff, you should practice playing quick and rotating, but the best mechanics, i'd say, are flicks. practice a lot in freeplay, diamonds will have trouble defending them.

[spiral nexus]

who can coach me in the basics of airdribbling and all the other mechanics? for free?

[shell thorn]

i recommend an intro to air dribbling tutorial on YouTube (found with simple search). after you know how it should work/look, practice it in freeplay or with training packs.

[dusky grove]

when i speedflip i end up not straight how to fix

[spiral nexus]

[whole kettle]

Practise and using drift is a very good tool to use

[honest stream]

can someone help me get to diamond 3 im diamond 2 rn

[pure sonnet]

Guys how to get control on the ball with airdribble? Like u need to spam it stay under it or what?

[cyan sage]

what shall i focus on, im plat in 2's but gold 2 in 1's

[obtuse kestrel]

Someone help me. I’m stuck at bronze 3 I need a good teamate I can speed flip basic dribble and some other basic mechanics

I just need a teamate

[cyan sage]

i wouldnt focus on a teamate, try get good power shots and good dribbles

and good way around the feild

then you can easily be like silver-gold

[obtuse kestrel]

I peaked at gold but my brother played my acc and reduced my rank

I’m playing and I gotta save shots from my own teamates

It doesn’t even have to e a good teamate just someone with game sense

Plus the Smurfs

I saw a kid air dribble in bronze 2

[keen epoch]

would yall recommend me to save replays of my 2s matches i lose only so i analyze the match and see what i did wrong or no?

#gameplay-tips message

let me know if you want any elaborations.

[keen epoch]

tbh im still stuck in d1 in 2s but im plat 2 or 3 usually in 1s so really in 2s u just need to be patience and have a trust for u tm8 tbh

if needed since ur tm8 going for everything just stay behind and let him do the work

[keen epoch]

those actually really good tips tbh

dude i keep on being 2 wins away from d2😭 and i always fumble the last game to get to d2

[solar plaza]

you'll get it next time 🙏

[keen epoch]

ik i can it jsut me playing bad with my tm8 tbh

like ive hit d2 and d3 before lol

but i jsut mained 1s for a while and lost my skill in 2s

now i play 2s more ive lost my skill in 1s 😭

[agile frost]

should i swap my binds? im about 700 hours into rl c2 using default kbm

[solar plaza]

are you comfortable with your current binds?

[shell thorn]

for the better

[solar plaza]

but it's funny 😦

[agile frost]

nah

i always feel completely lost

[solar plaza]

well try to find binds that are comfy then

absolutely worth changing if your current ones feel clunky/uncomfy

[agile frost]

ive bottlenecked alot im hardstuck c2-c3 rn

[red tinsel]

tips for c3 tryna get gc?

[agile frost]

realize that nothing u do can control your tm8s. if they monkey, play lifeguard if they are passive, you monkey play around the specimen

[red tinsel]

i feel like i aint good enough

my shooting aint good

[agile frost]

ive given up on believeing my tm8s have any brain at all so i just play around them and if they flame me well the dumbest is always the loudest

[sour coyote]

Lifeguard?

[red tinsel]

my dribblin aint good

[agile frost]

play with blind confidence

[red tinsel]

what can i do to imroove them

[agile frost]

if the balls on the other side of the field with your tm8 dont cross the middle and always be ready to go back to net and the tm8s probably gonna continue to take posession and monkey

your the lifeguard for your rr

[agile frost]

vod reviews

[sour coyote]

Monkey?

[agile frost]

biggest thing u can do \

[red tinsel]

what is a vod review

im washed i was once gc

[agile frost]

monkey= thinking your the only player in the lobby ball mine i want ball

[red tinsel]

then took a break for 5 months

but whats a vod review

[sour coyote]

Bro I’ve never heard of your terms

[agile frost]

reviewing your replays and seeing the mistakes you made, then going i9nto frepelay and correcting them, but if you need help go on youtube and find that specific mistake perfected then learn until its not there

[agile frost]

seriously?

[red tinsel]

oh ok

[agile frost]

back when i played for my highschool the coaches taught me monkey and lifeguard lol

[red tinsel]

should i use training packs or workshop?

[agile frost]

i mean aerial car control def 1 of those try to fit in the shape, or any rings map

[dusky fiber]

play some 1s u get in a lot of scenarios more often and it takes less time to get your individual skill back, also stay a bit more defensive in 2s, dont leave your mate alone, dont overcommit oir play too risky, look more around u to make your decision making better, dont blame mates and look more at yourself

[agile frost]

i just unbound my airroll so lets see how that goes

[red tinsel]

should i use the fennec or oct

[agile frost]

unbinding airroll was the best thing ive ever done

[placid zenith]

What’s your rank

Does anyone gold and below need training

It’s free

[red tinsel]

?

[paper wigeon]

In place of what? Honestly the car you use contributes very little. Just use what you like/feel comfortable in.

[slow light]

tips for plat 2

[paper wigeon]

Oh I misread, octane and fennec are measurably identical in every aspect except for looks. So only difference is psychological. Answer doesn't change.

[paper wigeon]

I mean I could dump a generic copy paste, but honestly I can't say anything actually useful unless I saw your game. Which I can't do atm. So just look at your replay and note down times where things went badly and work from there.

Then you can ask context specific questions where my answer might be more useful.

[shell thorn]

focus on basic mechanics and consistency with them.

work on improving your positioning, avoiding double commits with teammates, + being able to effectively clear the ball.

also make sure to rotate back after going up, don't overcommit, or try to avoid it.

[ember hare]

im gold and i keep getting beat in 1v1s how do i improve

[vital silo]

how accurate is RL Tracker at guessing your rank if you haven't played all 10 matches in that gamemode

[paper wigeon]

Not at all. It gives an estimate based off of your MMR, but if you haven't even played 10 matches your MMR could easily shoot up or down 80 in a game. In lower/mid ranks that could be a whole rank or two.

[vital silo]

but lets say myrank got revealed right now. would it be accurate

[agile frost]

i unbinded regular airroll and feel way more comfortable

breaking the muscle memories gonna take a minute tho

[paper wigeon]

Yep, the MMR is the correct value.

[vital silo]

oh so that means im plat 3 in hoops and bronze 2 in 1s :D

💀

[paper wigeon]

Your unranked in both until you play 10 games 😛 But if it makes you happy to say that then hf with it

[vital silo]

im quite happy about it actually (im prob gonna fall to gold 1 after the 10 matches)

hopefully not

[rotund glacier]

i have to play 2s with a terrible teamte how can i win by myself

[paper wigeon]

I can't know what's going wrong until I see your games. But in gold I'd say your still at the level where you haven't much to specifically target. Just practice controlling the ball on the ground, maybe a hook shot or two, stuff like that.

[paper wigeon]

You don't win by yourself. If you think all your team mates are terrible, maybe you aren't making good use of them? Just a thought.

[rotund glacier]

no no hes a friend of mine

he misses the ball

bumps me takes my boost and cant save simple shots doesnt know how to rotate

[vital silo]

lets be real
most of the time
you dont

if u have played with them before, its easier
just try and adjust to their playstyle
if you havent played with them before try and figure out their playstye based on the first 2 minutes of the match, then adjust
sounds a lot easier than it is

even if their playstyle is playing awful
you have to adjust if you want a chance at winning

something i can't do yet 😔

[agile frost]

i learned that if u let your tm8 do whatever they want and cover the net you win alot more than trying to communicate with them like there human

[rotund glacier]

hes a alien he doesnt listen

[agile frost]

if they flame u then gg go next no point in wasting energy on those specimen

[vital silo]

lol

[paper wigeon]

I mean if you insist on playing with the guy and you feel like he's holding you back the only thing you can really do is be very chasy and take as few risks as possible. 1v2s are kind of an artform lol, it's like playing a whole new mode.

[agile frost]

assume all of your tm8s are 3rd olds.

[white sable]

Just don’t play ranked with them, when you q try to play around him and give couple tips here and there abt positioning

[rotund glacier]

i might js solo q

[agile frost]

thats what i do bc when they start whinning i just think of them as children

[rotund glacier]

alr

[rotund glacier]

ion think i can now i was almost d3 now im d1 div 3

[agile frost]

i was on a ball with my flip with 0 boost earlier and my tm8 dived me so i asked him why "idk i felt like it" after that I've decided its best to just let them do what they want

and play around them

[rotund glacier]

nah

i would be fuming

[agile frost]

no point in communicating with these animals

[white sable]

I feel like if they more casual abt the game no one wants to have like a whole lecture on positioning so what I do with my friends is just point it out here and there like “ah if you rotated there could have stopped the goal” etc.

[agile frost]

the rest of the game I typed at him my frustrations

[rotund glacier]

imma try a solo q game and ill lyk

[agile frost]

"its a game idc i felt like it"

those type of ranked players make me sickj

[dusk badger]

I was plat 3 div 2 and now im at plat 2 div 3 all because of this stupid matchmaking that unfortunately makes me get opponents doing flip reset mustys and my teammate not even doing anything.

[agile frost]

your plat. wtf do you expect another plat to do against a musty flipreset?

[dusk badger]

its not an expectation plat lobbies are cursed with smurfs my opponents are doing flip resets like its nothing

[whole kettle]

A lot of plat players are plat because they can do stuff like that, and only stuff like that. It’s not that they’re good at the main point of the game. I’ve got pretty much no mechanics and I reach GC or get close to it every season I play

[paper wigeon]

Just chill and play next, statistically speaking you are extremely unlikely to encounter that in more than 1/15 games. So don't worry about it too much.

Yea, you'll get memed on every so often. So what.

[dusk badger]

its either my opponents are too good or my teammates ruin the whole game by missing kickoffs bumping ball chasing missing easy saves and just ruining the whole experience

all the higher ranks tell me that i shouldnt blame them but this is too much

[whole kettle]

Sounds like to me your describing every Plat. The way I see it is that your that specific rank for a reason. If you are better than the majority of players you'll rank up. I used to have the same mentality

[paper wigeon]

I mean as far as I'm concerned that just isn't true. I recently was doing my annual no boost challenge and I played like 5-10 games in plat. I had some really goofy matches I won't deny that. Teammates leaving at 4mins, etc. But those games were in the minority, and they weren't major setbacks.

[ashen elbow]

any tips for a low diamond plat 3

[whole kettle]

Play with your teammate(s) and not against

[ashen elbow]

@whole kettle but i get bad teamates

[whole kettle]

What if they think your the bad teammate?

[ashen elbow]

then they think im bad

[uneven blaze]

Um guys how can I play with someone I typed in looking for group by accident and I have to wait 1 hour

[paper wigeon]

Because it's true. At that rank you have enough room to grow still that what they're doing can be worked around. It's not like every mistake being made in the game is being capatalized on perfectly.

[paper wigeon]

DM them.

[whole kettle]

Im confident that ~70% of games From Gold-Champ at least 1 person is blaming their teammate for losing

[rotund glacier]

won 3-1 while solo q

imma just solo q from now on

[paper wigeon]

Not necessarily, but it can make things harder for no reason. Like if yoy use the lazy speedflip method or directional to recover, you'll brake when landing which is unideal. But you could get used to it I'm sure. I've seen much worse.

Naw, if it ain't broke don't fix it. If it becomes a problem, then we can talk. If it works rn, run that.

[rotund glacier]

who has there airplane to square

airroll*

[paper wigeon]

That works. I have mine set to normal air roll so when I recover I can ps easy.

[rotund glacier]

mines lb

[paper wigeon]

Normal air roll is great for a bunch of things, but I've seen plenty of players who never use it so you do you lol

[rotund glacier]

won 2/2 solo q

2-3

[chrome dirge]

can someone coach me on my flip resets please?

[paper wigeon]

You can DM me clips and I'll have a look if you want

[rotund glacier]

3-4

I'm 1 win away from being Diamond 💎 anyone wanna help me win 🏆

[dusk badger]

I now have proof that my teammates are the reason I can’t rank up. I just played with someone in this server and I have 200 ping as well yet I still went from plat 2 div 3 to plat 3 div 1, And my teammate was much better than solo queue. So my advice to fellow plats with bad teammates is to get a better teammate from this server or others, it helps a lot

and for those who say that maybe I’m the reason that my teammate can’t play properly, I give my teammates most of the possession and once they miss I go for the ball but they always bump me, and in most cases my teammates don’t let me do anything like dribbling etc. and once I tell them to stop interrupting they start insulting my whole bloodline. Platinum is cursed fr

[rotund glacier]

3-5

i can’t get back to d2

[cyan sage]

I hate platinum it's such a trap I'm way better and still can't get out!

I'm so scared to play at plat 3 div 4 it's like I know I'm a loose no matter what it's a pattern

I need a higher rank to help me it's just impossible on my own

#gameplay-tips message

play around your teammate, be more passive.

[keen epoch]

yall think it possible for me to hit c1 this season? and d1 in 1s as well?

im currently plat 2-3 in 1s and d1 to d2 in 2s

[dusky fiber]

mates are not the reason, and i can highly recommend playing solo q especially in lower elos, u need to adapt there and by trying to adapt u will get better in many diffrent fields not just the one u feel comfortable and playing with a pre mate, on the short term run it might seem easier playing with a mate especially the same one, but on a long term run u will struggle and need to work a lot later on to compensate that. Ik teammates can be a pain but they are never the reason for not bying able to rank up they are the same rank as u for a reason, u need to stop finding excuses and see what u could change in order to prevent situations from happening. At the end mates in solo q are a factor u cant control or change so the only rlly way to deal with it while continuing solo q is looking at yourself.

[dusky fiber]

Def possible yeah but i wouldnt set your own expectations too high, did u reach dia 3 last season?

[dusky fiber]

so u need a carry? if u do that u will struggle again in dia and get back down there so there is no point rlly. Try to be more defensive in plat most people chase so if u stay in the right spots and let him chase u should be able to get some good shots without playing too risky

[cyan sage]

Yeah the other problem I have is getting through the opponents defense they save every shot no matter what it is

[dusky fiber]

for that matter play more 1s, u get in those scenarios more often to oractise them

[cyan sage]

My defense is my weakness but my strength is shooting I'm more experienced than my rank

[raw ruin]

Dm if you’re looking for coaching or mech help 🤓

[brazen moth]

what is a good way to learn to air roll on kbm

[keen epoch]

i reached d3 this seaosn tbh

ive made great improvement this season alone tbh

and im playing against c1 c2 players in 1s

[wheat wagon]

this nincompoop so under average iq

who wants to analyze one of my replays D1

[fair kernel]

I'd say if u can get platinum 2 in 1v1s then u might be deserving of diamond (coming from a diamond 3 almost champ)

But at the same time lots of people for sme reason think it's a good Idea to keep playing when they're on a 4 or 5 game losing streak or when they're very tilted, which could be the reason ur not ranking up

[rotund glacier]

back to d2

get yourself a teammate that helps

[fleet magnet]

Can anyone Help me get Champ i am d 3 div 3

[cyan sage]

No

[cyan sage]

[keen epoch]

ay at least u being real so i appreciate it tbh

[cyan sage]

np

Anytime

[hidden bramble]

nah i admit it im ass at rocket league

i dont even wanna boost my ego

[solar plaza]

you're better than 99,9% of plats with this statement alone

[hidden bramble]

idek how i can improve ig its down to mechs now

[solar plaza]

basic mechs + game sense literally it

just honing those depending on what you need the most

[hidden bramble]

my opponents are very strong in offence

[solar plaza]

so you probably lack in defence? I can't imagine plats being that strong in offence

[shut bough]

Back post and timing your arrival on defense will be your best friend.

[solar plaza]

^

[hidden bramble]

no but like they dont overcommit they are decent at positioning

[cobalt plank]

Anyone able to coach me for free I am D2 div 2 in 2s rn

[shut bough]

If you really want to improve, have the mentality of getting scored on less rather than just scoring more.

[hidden bramble]

nah its not that my offence or defence is bad they can position pretty good

[hidden bramble]

my defence is good i would say

[solar plaza]

but they're still getting around it?

[hidden bramble]

maybe after a few shots i might not be in a good position

[solar plaza]

if you give them multiple shots per attack maybe try working on clears then

like clearing it to your own corner where they can't take another shot

[hidden bramble]

how do i work on that

[solar plaza]

just focus on clearing the ball to the corner when you're defending a shot

[gleaming junco]

^

[solar plaza]

preferrably so it would roll up the wall so you can potentially keep posession

[white sable]

something that helped me a lot is doing some defence training packs and focus on making sure you clear the ball to the corner when you save it, and in a position you can follow it up and keep possesion

[hidden bramble]

oh

[white sable]

rather than just focusing on saving it and being done with it cuz the ball dissapears

[hidden bramble]

i think i need to work on air dribbles too

it can help move the ball faster

[hidden bramble]

the other teammate isb ack by then

[solar plaza]

air dribbles shouldn't be the focus if you wanna just rank up, but ofc if you want to you can

[hidden bramble]

nah i mean it moves the ball faster to the opponents net

[white sable]

an aerial off the wall is faster than an air dribble tho if you worried about being fast

[hidden bramble]

being fast is how i score

[hidden bramble]

what abt a double tap

[white sable]

i mean no point of going for a double tap if you can get a shot on net, it just a much harder shot to hit if you don't need to

[high igloo]

Being fast isn’t about mechanics tho 🗿

[hidden bramble]

yeah ig

[high igloo]

Practising positioning is the best way to become fast

[zinc berry]

anyone want to play 3s with noob c1

[hidden bramble]

i feel like positioning aint helping idk

[high igloo]

You ain’t positioning right then

[hidden bramble]

bro i wish i could send a replay but idk how to on a ps5

[high igloo]

Upload to yt

[hidden bramble]

aight

[white sable]

i mean it is partly about mechanics like being able to make quick reads and getting a good first touch but yea its mainly about being in the right place to get there fast

[hidden bramble]

do i need air roll in my aerials yet

[high igloo]

You can dm me it when your done if you want

[high igloo]

You don’t need to air roll for aerials really at all
