[hidden bramble]

ranked or not

[high igloo]

Ranked

[hidden bramble]

broo im down to plat 2 div 4 but aight

[white sable]

yea air roll not required, it can be useful to help aim your shot better though

[high igloo]

The higher ranked you get the less air roll you see honestly 💀

[coral crescent]

am out here helpin out on settings (any settings, performance optimisation...) dm me if needed

[hidden bramble]

i feel it give me softer touche

[high igloo]

If you are gonna air roll do it at the end

To change the way you touch it

[hidden bramble]

i do it cuz i thought it helped or something 💀

[white sable]

honestly true feel like everyone just holds down air roll when they learn it and miss the ball so much lol

[high igloo]

It helps more in things like air dribbles

[hidden bramble]

without air roll is easier but i should learn air roll anyways

for the future

[high igloo]

But normal aerial shots I wouldn’t use too much air roll

[hidden bramble]

i feeel air roll gives me softer touches idk why

[high igloo]

Cause you aren’t hitting it with the nose of your car

[hidden bramble]

oh

so am i doing it wrong

[high igloo]

You just aren’t using it for the reason you should

If the balls too high and you wanna hit it down you could air roll upside down so you hit it downwards

[zinc berry]

what controller settings you advise

[hidden bramble]

oh alr

[zinc berry]

sensitivity

[hidden bramble]

sometimes i play really bad but that doesnt show how i actually play cuz sometimes i do much better

[zealous perch]

i always play really bad, i'm dumb as hell

[sterile flower]

Anyone tell me how to make a lfg im feel dumb as hell

[hidden bramble]

i got a replay but i whiff alot and i look like a bronze should i do another one

[coral crescent]

Do /l and you See lfg command

[sterile flower]

Thanks

[coral crescent]

Like you gonna See how it works js select stuff

[raw ruin]

If youre lf coacing or need help with mechs dm me

[keen epoch]

alr quick question if i want to be able to hit d3 or c1 by end of this season of beginning of next what should i do? like mech wise and etc

in 2s not 1s

[raw ruin]

you na?

@keen epoch

[keen epoch]

im nac so yes

[raw ruin]

wanna run 1 i can point out things i see

[hidden bramble]

can anyone point out mistakes in my games

[raw ruin]

^

[hidden bramble]

alr

[hidden bramble]

whats ur user

[keen epoch]

yea sure

[raw ruin]

i dmed you my epic @keen epoch

[keen epoch]

alr

[raw ruin]

i can after i play a game with him jc

[hidden bramble]

bet

[lyric dune]

yo is anyoe here like high champ or above and can help me get better?

[raw ruin]

your boost usage is fine, game speeds good @keen epoch

[glacial gull]

Is it worth re-training airroll after like 3k hours? I've had it on right and left bumper forever now but apparently its better for left bumper drift

[raw ruin]

no its just you want manual air roll and drift together or directional. you bind them together cause you dont drift in the air and air roll on the gtround

[glacial gull]

ah right, so is it still possible to learn the complicated mechanics with the settings i have?

[delicate sedge]

yo is there any coach's in here that can make me better

[shell thorn]

rank?

[delicate sedge]

um i just started

[shell thorn]

oh, ok. best advice i have is to just play the game, get a feel for the controls + how your car moves.

[delicate sedge]

ok

but like do u know what the best settings for the breakout car

[high igloo]

There isn’t

[delicate sedge]

oh ok

[high igloo]

Cars don’t really change much in this game

[delicate sedge]

k

@high igloo like see vids about what settings to use should watch the vid and use there settings

[high igloo]

Yeah that’s fine

[delicate sedge]

or do u got any like vids i should try

[high igloo]

I’d just find a pro player and copy their settings and see how they feel

[delicate sedge]

k

[viral tangle]

Yo im really bad at solo plays so what could i do to get better

[next warren]

how does the speed of how my car spin in rocket league work

[high igloo]

Practise them

[viral tangle]

like what tho

[next warren]

Anyone know how fast air rolls works

Like how does air roll get faster

[raw ruin]

it doesnt

[next warren]

By my sense or is it the same for everyone?

[viral tangle]

its the same for evryone

[next warren]

So why does mine feel slower then other when I watch pros or my friends or anyone play mine looks and feels slower

[viral tangle]

send a clip in chat of u airolling

[next warren]

K

[raw ruin]

in #gameplay-highlights you need a role first @next warren

[zealous perch]

do you mean your car is spinning slower?

[next warren]

Yea

[raw ruin]

theyre using directional air roll

not free

[zealous perch]

every car has the same stats in regards to speed, turning radius, etc. Only difference is the hitbox shape and size

[next warren]

Directional

[viral tangle]

u gonna send a clip

[next warren]

I can’t it won’t let me here

[viral tangle]

oh send me priv then

[zealous perch]

longer/shorter cars can appear to rotate/spin faster/slower. It's just placebo/illusion

[raw ruin]

check my message pure

above

[next warren]

I saw their using directional

[raw ruin]

im talking about the put your vid in gameplay highlights and you need a role

[next warren]

I’ve tried multiple of different card and they all feel the same until I watch some1 else it looks faster

[next warren]

Oh ok

[raw ruin]

whats your sense and controller deadzone

[next warren]

7 7 0.02

[viral tangle]

sens shouldn't matter tho

[next warren]

I use fast sense

[zealous perch]

Idk what to tell you other than they are the same lol

sense doesn't really matter if you're already full speed with the rotations

[raw ruin]

7 sens is absord

with .02

[viral tangle]

thats crazy fast

[next warren]

It’s easy for me to control I feel like I need faster tbh

[raw ruin]

that is unplayable

[next warren]

Ima send the clip

[viral tangle]

okay

[next warren]

Check the clip

[viral tangle]

did not get it

[rotund glacier]

send clip

i wanna see this sens

[glacial gull]

is it better to use free airrole ?

than directional? i've used directional for so long now

[raw ruin]

no

[viral tangle]

Yo im really bad at solo plays so what could i do to get better

[raw ruin]

dir you can input on 2 axis vs 1 with freeroll

[rotund glacier]

idk what i use

[glacial gull]

Ah right, but it seems like most pros and mechanical people use free airrole

[rotund glacier]

i use left air roll

[glacial gull]

so i was just wondering

[zealous perch]

@next warren anyways it's more likely you're just not as efficient with your rolls as higher level players. "As the crow flies", there's a shortest path to take, you're probably not taking that path as perfectly as pros or whoever

but try that slow mo thing

[viral tangle]

Yo im really bad at solo plays so what could i do to get better at them

[next warren]

I gtg tho thx guys

[zealous perch]

play the game and practice (no need to thank me)

[viral tangle]

practise what tho

[zealous perch]

dribbling, flicks, catching the ball, power shots, double taps, reading the movements of players

last one is probably the biggest one tbh

[raw ruin]

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

[viral tangle]

Free?

[zealous perch]

what rank are you brett

i'm silver 3 can u help me 😄

[wanton maple]

Gold 1, while my gameplay is lacking(just started playing 2 weeks ago) I wish people would learn to rotate

[viral tangle]

Silver giving help to D2

advice*

[zealous perch]

this does not stop being an issue until like gc btw lol

[keen epoch]

i jsut had a almost 4 mins ot😭

and my team won thankfully🙏

[zealous perch]

i lied

i'm actually unranked. just started playing yesterday

[viral tangle]

my longest was like 15 min in casual

[viral tangle]

plot twist

[cedar loom]

I need a ssl to reach GC 1

[raw ruin]

earn it

[rotund glacier]

free?

[raw ruin]

first session yes

[rotund glacier]

oooo

check dms

[undone patrol]

should i be the same rank in 1's as 2's?

[queen plaza]

Does anyone have tips for bronze and silver?

[normal cairn]

can some one help me get better

[rotund glacier]

i think 1s is completely different

[next warren]

Does anyone know if I should use the dominus

[rotund glacier]

mainly for fresstyling as it has a flat like hitbox but its preferably up to u

[next warren]

In comp

I’m good with the dominus I could also win 50s idk if I should use it in comp cause ppl say it’s only for freestyle idrk

[rotund glacier]

entirely up to u

[normal cairn]

i need help to speed filp

[keen epoch]

if u better in 2s than your 1s rank will be lower but usually when u play both the 1s rank is usually a lower rank either way

[tough ether]

i need a coaCH

[keen epoch]

im plat 2 to 3 in 1s which has people from d2 to c1 in there 2s rank

but im d2 in 2s as of rn

[undone patrol]

i must suck then cause im champ 2 in both gamemodes

[keen epoch]

well doesnt mean that it means u better 1s main than 2s main

[obtuse sundial]

Can someone 1v1 me and tell me what I’m doing wrong?

[tough ether]

i need a coach

[obtuse sundial]

What’s your rank @tough ether

[tough ether]

d2

[obtuse sundial]

Same

[tough ether]

can still coach me im very dumb

[obtuse sundial]

Alr

[grave zodiac]

check dms gang

[elfin perch]

Broo can someone hop on a ult and just help me get to plat I’m done with these teammates in gold in

[zealous perch]

whats the point lmao

[lofty rain]

If you deserve a rank, you'll get there. That's what I've learned when playing the game

[elfin perch]

I just can’t talk gold bro I try my best to keep to score close force my self to play way more safer cause hod forbid I touch the ball my teammat wants to double with me and when I play more defensively they can’t score for shi then bc ‘ the scoreboard ‘ says it all in the one selling like ???

[lofty rain]

Good luck, if the teammates really are the problem you should be able to reach plat

[lofty rain]

Nah, play the game mode you like playing. 1's and 2's are basically a whole different game from another. I'm Gc1 in twos and D3-C1 in ones and it never held me back

[zealous perch]

If you got anyone above champ to watch your gameplay, they would point out at least 50 things you're doing wrong every 10 seconds, and that goes for everyone lol. I don't disagree that it's the teammates, 2v2 is very heavily dependent on your teammate, but if you deserve a rank, you'll get there, up until like gc at least lol

I don't understand people who are at x amount of hours, knowing they will need at least on average x+500 hours to reach y rank, but care about wins or losses

it's still going to take you that long to get to that rank and stay there

just focus on your own skill and have fun

don't take it so seriously, it's a hard game

[lofty rain]

Up until GC, where people finally start realising that it was never the teammates....

[raw ruin]

yessssssss @lofty rain

[zealous perch]

all imma say is, even some of the goats struggle to get out of gc and into SSL lol

[raw ruin]

positive attitude

[barren oyster]

As someone who was gold, you gotta humble yourself cause however you see your teammates they be thinking the same about you

[raw ruin]

@tough ether you na?

[lofty rain]

I don't know what all these golds and plats expect honestly... None of them know rotations and you put two of them in a team when they've never played before. Obviously both are going to think the other sucks and can't rotate lmao.

[raw ruin]

but they know flip resets @lofty rain

[elfin perch]

I’m tired of this argument u have to look at it from my point of view I’ve played with friends in p1 -p3 lobby’s I would say I hold my own but I just don’t have that confidence to make plays cause im used to my teammates not being there if I mess up I get to gold3 div 4 and out of nowhere im getting trolls and wanna be zens who think trying there shi aireas are better than getting good at the basics and recovery’s and defensive cause it’s ‘ boring’ I just want out bro

[raw ruin]

if anyone needs help with mechs or wants me to show them how to do a certain thing lmk and i can post a clip in #gameplay-highlights

[elfin perch]

I’m not saying I’m cracked infact if anything I’m still learning and try my best to get better ik I can get tilted and my blame teammates for hard saves they miss but even then bro like come

[lofty rain]

Once I started thinking like I told you before, ranking up became easier. I just recently came back to RL and pushed to GC. And on the way I had horrible loosing streaks and horrible teammates, but that was for individual games. In the end I slowly crept up and got it

[zealous perch]

yeah but like, you're going to hit the plateu anyway when you become the problem instead of your teammate. Also, you're going to run into a lot more smurfs past plat so enjoy it while you can lol

[lofty rain]

It might take some time, and your teammates will suck. But you're going to get there

My win percentage on my acc is 51.8% lol, that's how you rank up, not by winning every game

[zealous perch]

I'd also argue that playing/compensating for your crappy teammates is a requirement to be a certain rank anyway

[lofty rain]

Ye lol, especially considering everyone can have bad games, we're all humans (I hope)

[zealous perch]

also you'd push your rank more just by having comms through voice chat. That's the easiest way to boost.

[barren oyster]

idk some of these players expect me to always play at my best in their games ._.

[raw ruin]

rotations are very easy. After your play rotate wide and out and get behind your teammate fast. Dont cut back in or whatever on ball unless you see an easy open lane or shot you can take. when youre defending cover backpost and face the play, dont ball side rotate because you can get solid touches or clears on the ball and it makes it harder to save stuff. Hover mid when youre second man, dont over commit unless your teammate is getting behind you making you the 2nd man

[elfin perch]

Again I’m aware of that I’m always trying to keep my self aware and not get tunnel vision to just ball chase i never said I was amazed I’ll gladly take constructive criticism on how I can improve I love being helped and being showed where to improve BUT MY TEAMATES ARE LIL KIDS THAT CANT UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARNT OERFECT AND THEY TO NEED CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

[zealous perch]

You can complain about your teammates when you hit champ and your teammates somehow still whiff 5 mph open nets lol

[raw ruin]

happens high elo too @zealous perch

[queen plaza]

Could anyone coach me? I’m like silver or bronze?

[raw ruin]

you jsut need play time

[zealous perch]

kekw I've seen basic aerial whiffs in SSL. Literally dumbfounds me every time

[elfin perch]

I don’t even care about wins I play ranked more than casual I just want good matches and if I’m not ranking up it clearly means I’m doing something wrong

[raw ruin]

ive seen some questionable stuff

[lofty rain]

There is really no need for any coaching. Best thing to do is play the game

[queen plaza]

Idk what to work on

[raw ruin]

henri or zeal give me a shot to hit

[lofty rain]

This is the part of your playtime where you'll have the most fun, don't waste it by trying to sweat already

[queen plaza]

I just switched binds

[raw ruin]

shooting

[lofty rain]

Idk how mechanical you are lol, single or double flip reset, whatever one you can do

What rank are you?

[zealous perch]

the bulldozer

[lofty rain]

Yeah that might be a good idea, get some good binds now. But again, just play!!! Get a feel for your car and the ball

[zealous perch]

seirously dude, you're going to burn yourself out with this mentality. Go for clips, go for air dribbles, go for ceiling shots, have fun.

[queen plaza]

Alr henri thanks for the tips!

[zealous perch]

also use some punctuation, jesus.

[lofty rain]

That correct, you're probably doing a lot of things wrong and that's normal. I have never seen you play so I can't tell you what, but if you go into games with the mindset that your teammates are holding you back, every single mistake they make will annoy you and make you tilt

I feel like that's what's happening with you tbh. You're expecting them to play bad and every bad thing they do confirms that, and your brain ignores the rest -- you get tilted

Again, I don't know you, how you play or how your teammates play, I'm just assuming

[elfin perch]

I do I dooo tho I spend hours watching videos free roaming and trying best to make up for my teammates if they are more agresive I become more passive if they are more passive I am more aggressive I keep boost for them I stay opposite side of the ball gets smacked I push up if they have goal chance I roatste when they start areailing if they end up missing even on games they are being toxic I still nice shot them trying to keep the vibes but no nothing’s working I’m trying my best here but I’m just not improving I don’t know what els I can do I’ve tried I promise

[barren oyster]

I'm at the stage of "Damn that's unfortunate", whenever a tm8 messes up

[lofty rain]

Yo @raw ruin, imma just assume you are a higher rank than me, what's your sensitivity? (Assuming you play on controller)

[lofty rain]

It's "oof" for me

[raw ruin]

1.4 1.4 .07

high sense is less consistant

[elfin perch]

I try but I’m not perfect

[lofty rain]

Alright then, that honestly seems good. And I know that teammates do suck more the further you go down in the ranks, but I still thoroughly believe that you can reach the rank you deserve. Sry I'm repeating myself but that's all I can say

[lofty rain]

Ok, ty

[zealous perch]

We are trying to explain to you, it doesn't matter. You could have be deserving of diamond and still stuck in gold and it wouldn't matter. What you are experiencing is a result of your own mindset.

You say you don't care about winning which is not true, you can say you're doing your best but that doesn't mean you deserve to win. I'm only a crappy champ 1, champ 2 at best, and I get teammates that I legit, not being toxic, think are diamond 1's the way they play. It doesn't get better lol. Go for clips. Go do custom games. Go do party gamemodes. Stop focusing on ranking up.

[lofty rain]

I just notice I feel much slower on 1.0 than the 2.0 I play on, thought I might be able to get insanely fast with 10.0 or something lmao

[zealous perch]

literally all of us at every rank could make a video of a ranked game, literally any ranked game, and make the video at least 3 minutes long of just pointing out how bad our teammate is and all the mistakes they make.

[grizzled cloud]

Yo anyone trynna run some 1v1 matches im c1 us e. I’m wanting to get better so if you aren’t equal or better than me I might dip

[lofty rain]

And our teammates could prolly do the same

[zealous perch]

why not just matchmake?

[lofty rain]

One last thing I'll leave here for anyone before I leave, is that mindset in any sport (I'll just count Esports in that as well) is soooo important. Don't tilt-queue, don't play when you had a bad day, don't let the game tilt you in the first place (last one is easier said than done obv.)

[grizzled cloud]

Because I want to talk to someone

[elfin perch]

I need to master basics tho

[lofty rain]

Easiest way to do that is ingame

[barren oyster]

it's alright to let loose a lil at times and go for stuff

[lofty rain]

^^

Also, you can't flip reset if you're in plat❤️

[barren oyster]

#gameplay-highlights message like look at these dog c2 mechanics, not good but damn did it feel good. Someone even called me plat 1 😭

I normally wouldn't do this

[zealous perch]

That statement will remain true until you reach pro level.

Squishy released a video that's an analysis of one of the pro players at the most recent RLCS. Seriously, it looks like plat level gameplay the way he's playing, but obviously it's a pro doing the important things correctly

[jaunty niche]

anyone got custom car designs for fennec?

[lofty rain]

Hahahahahah those look like my mechanics, and I'm GC...

I really gotta step up my games in terms of mechanics

[elfin perch]

No I get u it’s just been a rough day and just want that satisfaction of hitting plat Yk my hard work paying off Yk 😕

[barren oyster]

Wish I could just trade my mechs for brain power 😔

[grizzled cloud]

Would you mind running some 1s and giving me pointers I’m c1 as of last night

[lofty rain]

I get that, last time I felt like that I lost 8 games in a row

And then, I got GC two days after

Go to sleep, get it over the weekend

[zealous perch]

bakkesmod?

[jaunty niche]

nah

nvm though

[lofty rain]

It's 01:46am I gotta get to sleep, also I suck at ones, you don't want pointers from me

[jaunty niche]

i saw fashion league and instantly knew it was about designs

[lofty rain]

Good luck to you though @elfin perch

[zealous perch]

just because you've had a rough day and you're trying your best doesn't mean you deserve a higher rank. Also if you come home from a rough day then solo queue rocket league you deserve to be slapped across the head

saying that as a joke btw

but also it's true

[lofty rain]

You can very well play RL if you had a bad Day, but don't expect to rank up

I like to play hoops or something, or play unranked with friends when I had a bad day

[zealous perch]

also, probably seek satisfaction or respite from your stressful working life by other means and not an imaginary number in video game.

[lofty rain]

Nah thats overrated

Jk

[zealous perch]

anyways I'm champ 1 in 2v2, anyone wanna c*rry me to SSL plz and ty i charge 50 an hour (to be clear you are paying me)

why is the word carry blocked

i can't post that joke of a text if the word carry isn't censored

why am i able to say carry now though what

[lofty rain]

The me is the problem

[barren oyster]

meaningless attempts at stopping boosting ig /shrug

[lofty rain]

C*rry me

[zealous perch]

curry me

[lofty rain]

Does anyone know how hard it is to get from a pretty much consistent single flip reset, to a double?

[vestal knot]

pretty hard lol

thats what im working on rn

[elfin perch]

Thank you

[lofty rain]

Oh hell nah, well I'm not going to do that

[elfin perch]

I get ya man

[lofty rain]

I will say though, I get where you're coming from

[zealous perch]

if you want direct help or advice, there's a channel for that where you can post clips and whatnot so people can see what you're doing (i wonder where that channel is)

[lofty rain]

😅

[elfin perch]

😭

[vestal knot]

if you want help starting double btw i can try and lend a hand

[lofty rain]

You can send me a replay in dms as well if you want to, I'll have a look at it tmrw

[vestal knot]

im not consistant with them but i could try and give you some tips or something

[lofty rain]

I think learning doubles isn't the right way of going at this

I just feel like I'm not mechanical enough for my rank

[vestal knot]

whats your rank?

[lofty rain]

But I think that learning to double flip reset won't achieve what i hope it would

Barely Gc1

[vestal knot]

oh yeah same here lol

not barely but gc 1 lol

[lofty rain]

I can flip reset consistently, have a very good air dribble, but then I also have a non-existent ceiling shot as well as ground flicks, and my double taps are not dangerous either

Just from that description, people would probably put me in c1-c2 hahahahahha

[vestal knot]

douple tap playground man

im dec in the air but mainly a ground typa guy here

[lofty rain]

Best aspect of my game is probably shooting, but that's not that flashy😅

Alr it was nice talking @vestal knot , I gtg to sleep.

Have a good day/night

[vestal knot]

yessir, have a good one

[raw ruin]

hai cole

[narrow ravine]

hi guys im wondering if i should solo q or play with my friend

[raw ruin]

how are them jump restarts

[vestal knot]

hola pookie

[narrow ravine]

i am gold 3 atm

[vestal knot]

a lot better than yesterday thats for sure

[narrow ravine]

and he is diamond 3 on his smurf acc he uses

[vestal knot]

getting a lot more attemps in with them

[blissful bone]

Can someone coach me pls? Im silver 2 dm me

[hearty tundra]

Can someone gimme good settings

[shell thorn]

at silver II, just play the game and you'll improve.

[wispy cloud]

LF coach/sensei im c3 and will give 10% of earning when pro

[limpid venture]

does anyone have any tips for a c2 to go to gc? i have good mechs and recoveries, and good gamesense but could be better, i consistently q with my gc1 duo in low gc1 lobbies

[high igloo]

Stop queuing with your mate

[sinful stratus]

replay review the games yo

[limpid venture]

i get tilted easily in solo queue and often play worse with a random

[limpid venture]

do i just look for rotational errors?

[high igloo]

Well you probably aren’t gonna get up to the same rank together

Because if you are equally winning and losing you won’t really move

[sinful stratus]

this is what you want if your playing good your not learning anything

[sinful stratus]

look for all kinds of mistakes even mistakes you think have "no impact" are huge. the goal happened 1 minute before it did

[eternal widget]

I'm scared to solo que last time I did I went on a loss streak dropped from plat 1 to gold 2 I'm back to gold three and have one more ranked game but solo que scares me especially in the low tank I'm in

[high igloo]

How we getting scared playing rl guys

[shell thorn]

i aimed #rocket-league message for a champion I, but i believe it's still very valid for a champion II and champion III.

[limpid venture]

nah we don’t tilt que so we do make mmr but kind of slowly sometimes

[eternal widget]

Just saying rank wise not physically scared to play RL

[high igloo]

Well if you guys are pretty equal

[sinful stratus]

mmr means nothing

remove that idea out your head and you will see improvement

[limpid venture]

ok

[limpid venture]

this thread is goated ty

[sinful stratus]

you can wake up tomorrow and gain 100 mmr your not any better but you gained. focus on what you can see for sure which is improvement focus on 2-3 things or even 1-2 and do it till you think its at a high enough standard and pick 1-2 2-3 more

[limpid venture]

don’t be scared to que up, for gold-plat focus on mastering the basics and getting rotations down

[sinful stratus]

repeat

[limpid venture]

got it

[eternal widget]

Rotating is decently easy I've got wave dashing down ok at half flipping my game sense is kinda mid mostly team positioning I don't know how I'm supposed to get better at that besides playing tho and at my rank we don't "need" heavy air control just how to slot some balls out of the air a while ago i was trying to learn flicks my dribbling is great for my rank but i ball chase to much I do watch my replays even the bad ones

[high igloo]

Think of positioning in this way I think

When you are first man

Be aggressive, ball chase, take boost and bump etc

Your job is to create space, opportunity and pressure

Then rotate out

If you are second man your job is to be ready for either a winning outcome or a losing one so you ideally wanna be hanging around mid and using those small pads to stay in the play as much as possible to maintain pressure

If your tm8 loses you are on defense so you want to rotate back post ready or if your tm8 isn’t back stall time

On defense if your tm8 is behind you you want to instant challenge

And that’s about it

[eternal widget]

I've been focusing on learning small pad locations and naturally following their path and quality of life mecha

[high igloo]

On offense you just never wanna be going back to your corners for boost

So many people do that and it just instantly kills your attack

[eternal widget]

I've been watching EU players and that seems to be a lot of what they do is stay in the play and give no space to opposing team

[high igloo]

The mid field line is the most deadly position to be in so that’s where you wanna spend your most time

You can’t really do anything in the corners

[high igloo]

Yeah it’s all about pressure

[eternal widget]

What's ur rank

[high igloo]

Gold

[eternal widget]

Gold what

[high igloo]

2

[eternal widget]

Wanna party up tomorrow or smth

[high igloo]

Just messing I’m gc3

[eternal widget]

Oof I thought u were too smart to be gold

[high igloo]

I am a genius aren’t I

🗿

[eternal widget]

Your giving credible advice and you said ur gold and I was like huh??

So what if my Tm8 is really aggressive and ball chasey

Should I play more defensively or try to bump opponents for them

[high igloo]

Well he’s always gonna be up in their net right

You wanna be hovering around that midfield waiting for a opportunity

And then if he leaves you go in cause you are first man now

If he gets absolutely clapped and they are on offense

You just turn around and rotate back post

Rinse and repeat

[eternal widget]

I tend to sit around their quarter in attacks should I sit there or is mid field definitively better

[high igloo]

Water?

The problem with being in their area is

What happens if your tm8 loses and the ball goes flying towards your net

You just get scored on

But if you are midfield you can react to wins and losses

You are farther away from net so you have more time with your plays

And you are covering more area

[eternal widget]

But being in mid field isn't that good for scoring being that in gold the general consensus on how to score is roll it up their back wall and knock it in

[high igloo]

And when it’s going up their wall

You in mid field drive forward and aerial

I’m not saying camp their

You just be around their until an opportunity arises

When your tm8 wins that’s your call to push forward

And they leave behind you

[eternal widget]

I don't aerial I'm still an early player I try to stick to ground control

[high igloo]

That’s also why you wanna be back post on defense so you can drive up the backboard and hit it away

[high igloo]

Then you just wait for your dribbles and ground shots to present themselves

[eternal widget]

Ok thanks for new info on the game I'm going to bed now

[high igloo]

Goodnight man

[limpid venture]

in all honestly i rarely use wave dashes unless im jumping off onto the ground and i have my flip, search up offensive 2v2 rotations, in lower ranks its always better to play passive cuz 2v2 is a game of who has the better 2nd man and ur mate is probably a braindead ball chaser, learn back post rotations if u haven’t already and shoot precisely, you’re working on all the right things just be confident

[uncut abyss]

Everyone I’m 1 game off champ 3 but at the same time I’m severely lacking sleep lol what do I do do I play the game or sleep 😴 🧐

[eternal widget]

On a streak finish it off otherwise pass out like I'm bout to

[uncut abyss]

Wish me luck 🍀

[high igloo]

You gotta start abusing those wavedashes

I use them jumping off the wall, on kickoff, wall dashes, for zap dashes and just to move around the pitch

[limpid venture]

well yeah that’s what i do too mainly

love zap dashes but wave dash kick offs are useless

just soeedflip

[high igloo]

I mean the mawkzy kickoff

Speed flip into wavedash

I don’t even speed flip around the pitch anymore I just wavedash

[rich vigil]

ay who can coach me??

im ps4

[wispy cloud]

LF sensei im c3 and im pro level trust me

[white sable]

If you are pro level then why are you c3

[visual marten]

lmao

[wispy cloud]

cause tm8s

[white sable]

So you are telling me if you put zen in c3 he couldn’t get out cuz of tm8s?

[wispy cloud]

i gota replay

i can send

ik im better than everybody my ego

[white sable]

Then beat them

Shouldn’t be an issue if you are better

[zealous perch]

i believe him because its funny

[wispy cloud]

ok

played a few games and im now gc2

[silver surge]

someone teach me some mechanics

[whole kettle]

Press your jump button to jump

[silver surge]

i know how to do that silly!

[jaunty mountain]

im a champ/dia controller player, recently giving up because of stickdrift and trying to at least temporarily transition to kbm while i save money to get a new one ☠️ any tips for kbm?

[split flower]

how do you join someone in the lfg channel? Can't seem to find instructios anywhere, and I don't want to DM/add anyone if you aren't sposed to do that

[cunning gust]

I don’t play with kbm, so I can’t really give you any tips, but good luck

[split flower]

Drufinho and Torsos are the best two KBM players in the league at the moment... maybe you could see something between their settings

[golden mural]

just take apart the controller and clean the sensors for the joysticks

[jaunty mountain]

theyre worn down, not dirty
im saving for a HE controller o7 expensive stuff and im not modding mine bc i hate using my soldering iron

[jaunty mountain]

oh thanks :p

[dull ermine]

can anyone coach me and teach me basic mechs please? (dm me)

[shell thorn]

check pinned message in #looking-for-group

[south frost]

Idk how to do the looking for a team thing so I was very close to diamond but randoms just arent working plat 3 div 1 in 3s

[cunning gust]

Plat 3 div 4 in 3s for me

[south frost]

If ya wanna grind for a bit @Kryptic_RL Im kinda washed rn

[split flower]

I looked at the pinned message, but it only talks about making a post. It says a "join" message will appear or something, but I'm not seeing any way to interact with the posts

[somber prism]

Way lower ranked than you, and I've never used a controller, but learning mechanics on KBM is extremely easy. The hard part is steering precision with the binary inputs, particularly to position the ball in a particular spot on top of your car, or to line up for aerials. (I just jump in the general direction and make corrections in the air.)

Rather than the nuance of controller inputs, you just figure out the right combination and timing of buttons, then muscle memory kicks in really fast.

I watched a couple of tutorials and learned wavedashes, half flips, speedflips, stalls and fast aerials in my first hour in freeplay, thinking it'd give me a really good basis to rank up fast. (Didn't work out)

KBM is like Piano, once someone shows you the right keys to press to play a chord, you just...press those keys to play the chord. But of course, hitting SSL is like playing a whole symphony, and you're not learning that quickly :P

If you want to hop ingame with me sometime, I'm down to help you out wherever I can.

[raw ruin]

kbm isnt hard

[shell thorn]

you could DM them.

[raw ruin]

takes a second to get familiar with it but it'll be just like you with con, you know what to do you just gotta make muscle memory of your fingers being your analog. Also bind your air roll to your mouse

[somber prism]

P.S. Walldashes are easy on KBM. They're fun, but not very useful at my rank. Never fails to get a reaction from higher-ranked players though.

It's a 'party trick'

[whole kettle]

Honestly, the few times ive decided to mess around on kbm I've been more mechanical than on my control. I find mechanics easier on KBM but overall gameplay is better on controller for me

[raw ruin]

i got gc1 kbm in around a month

[split flower]

Is there supposed to be a button?

[somber prism]

In the kindest way, this is biased and invalid because you're...Brett.

[raw ruin]

kbm is better for starting out but you lack the control and amount of input you have on a controller

[shell thorn]

i love the use of nuance here

[shell thorn]

i suppose it is worded weirdly, that's referring to joining a VC from their profile.

[raw ruin]

yes dont expect to be like me

i enjoy kbm for ground freestyling

and flicks or stalls

[split flower]

i asked in another chat and someone pointed me to the server roles

[somber prism]

Oh, it's a compliment. I've seen about 4 of your clips, and now I consider your alien advice as just invalid to us humans.

[raw ruin]

you wanna see my best clip?

[somber prism]

Thanks, I'm a nuanced nuisance!

[shell thorn]

i don't believe that does anything in this case.

[split flower]

oh okay

so there is no actual interface that does anything, it's just an ad basically?

[raw ruin]

peep gameplay highlights

[shell thorn]

yea

[somber prism]

Gotta hop off. Good chat. And @jaunty mountain, reach out any time for KBM help <3

That goes for anyone else too.

[split flower]

ok got it. just didn't want to be messaging people if that's not how it works

[whole kettle]

Why is 90% of the people responding to LFG posts lower ranked players asking for boosts

[raw ruin]

@whole kettle you like that clip in gameplay highlights, my best one yet

[whole kettle]

I'll be back in a lil bit, gonna go on a 20 win streak right now

[whole kettle]

I'll be honest, I aint even looked at it

[raw ruin]

pretty gnarly

[whole kettle]

Only 5 resets, basic

[raw ruin]

i think its the new camera settings

😼

[formal mountain]

who knows how to play custom maps

[whole kettle]

Click on Customs, and insure your gear if you want to, it's reccomended

[ivory wren]

In fact u have to dm them, the join button only appears when the one lfg is in a vc

[jaunty mountain]

That's interesting, cause I'm more of a positional player and after being super washed (last time I hit champ in 2s was season 23 or something) I finally relearned tornado spins Nd got back into rings
My fundamentals on controller r really good but suck/super inconsistent on kbm, and it feels like I can't do anything right 😕

[jaunty mountain]

Thank you, I got the basics already though, I'm like plat 3 in 1s rn (I only play kbm ones really) I just need a lot of mechanical improvement to get to my prev leveln

[cyan sage]

i m a gold 3 / plat 1 9 day playing what should i do 2 get better

[dull ermine]

can anyone teach me basic shooting mechs please? )dm me)

[somber prism]

Gotcha. You're already beyond my rank then!

I've spent my entire playtime on KBM, so thought I'd offer whatever help I can, even though you're a higher rank. (I'm Gold)

It sounds like you'd have already implemented most of the tips I could give you if you're approaching D1 in 1s though.

Good luck on finding a high-ranked KBM player to help you out, they're hard to come by.

Having said that...give me a moment.

[fluid coral]

Should i Quit rocket league?
6k hours
champ 3 div2 in 1s peak gc1
peak 2v2 rank is champ 2 div 3
current hard stuck c1 everyday my 1s rank goes up but i always get afk tm8s or players who play against me orsomething dumb happens
I never get a fair match in 2s its crazy im going insane I want to play 2v2 but im just c$ck blocked each time i q the game the only games i wind up winning i score over 1k score having to 2v1

[novel valley]

I feel like my biggest struggle with rocket league since I'm a new player (3 weeks) is finding people in the lower ranks to play with, any advice? I post here in the "looking-for-group" and never get any hits

[novel valley]

Specifically I mean bronze/Silver

[oak glacier]

Just keep grinding the hours and u will naturally get out of silver easy

You just gotta get used to hitting the ball stuff like that is hard when you are new

[novel valley]

Okay. That makes enough sense. It just feels impossible for duos or trios when every game someone either leaves or is afk or just drives in circles lol

[tame sparrow]

Should I air roll manually or use the keybinds?

[fluid coral]

both depends what you wanna do, Im KBM so its binded but for controller general controll should be manual, but for actual controll over ball and speedflips and stuff i think its keybinds, or i have it wrong way around one or the other

[finite ridge]

someone coach me in 1s , spectate me plz : dm me

[dusky fiber]

U prob need to get better at adapting and change up your rotation a bit. Blaming mates in solo q is a no brainer, at the end they are a factor u cant change so u need to find ways to play around it and deal with it. Ik randoms can be a pain but once u understand how to adapt it will be a lot easier for u and u might even skip gc1 and go straight for gc2.

[white sable]

Yea I feel like if you have that many hours you probably have decent mechs so you have potential to rank up quite a bit learning to position better

[whole kettle]

Man Im in Elo hell

Playing better but tm8s are being ass

[white sable]

Isn’t that every elo tho

[dusky fiber]

They are the same rank for a reason

[whole kettle]

It's especially bad in C2, like yh Im rage qing a bit but if im sitting on half line waiting for them to rotate back dont im essentially useles

[whole kettle]

I try telling myself that but some people I beleive are boosted

[dusky fiber]

No u are not, play more 1s, fake challange to force out a flick and do something with it. Mates are an easy excuse but u need to find ways to deal with it otherwise u will be hardstuck

[whole kettle]

I've gone from 1330, down to 1213 or smth today, yesterday it was the reverse

[next jolt]

Someone Here who is a bit higher in Rumble and wants to Play? GC2 (1300)

[dusky fiber]

Sone people might be not good for u, but lets say u are both offensive players and u force to be offensive and let him be more defensive. Obv he is not gonna do as good as infront cause he is not used to it. Just an example

[pulsar solstice]

who wants to play im silver 3

[dusky fiber]

Quite normal there will be ups and downs when grinding

[whole kettle]

Oh yh I am hardstuck for sure, I've been C2 for 4-5 years now or something ridiculous like that, GC2 peak but play RL like 2-3 weeks max per season

[pulsar solstice]

who wants to play im silver 3

[next jolt]

Feel ya i went down from 1600 in 2s to 1300

[whole kettle]

I play with my tm8 if they play more aggressive I play more passive, but trying to make myself a better player so I can keep GC whenever I hit it

[dusky fiber]

Because of the reset? Or rlly ik one go lol?

[white sable]

There are times where you just gotta sit mid and let your tm8 ball chase a bit.

One of the hardest part of solo q imo is just accepting that your tm8 won’t make the “right” play and you just gotta try to play around it.

[next jolt]

Yeah reset as Well but i got tm8s they forfeiting after get one Goal or Bring toxic or Just ass

[dusky fiber]

The thing is some people make the mistake of thinking they are better and chase down there mate or some things like this, then its no wonder they want the person to loose. Obv not a reference to u just a general example

[whole kettle]

It's funny when the spam "Take the shot!" while not even going back so if I miss it's an open net also while doing shadow defense and their sat by the opposite corner with 0 boost

[white sable]

Lmao I feel you on that

[lost plume]

Hello, could someone help me to double reset without stall please?

[dusky fiber]

Tbh i love a chaser as mate, he forces out everything while i can do everything

[white sable]

Tbh I’ve actually learned to love it too recently. Either they score or I get the ball so it’s a win win as long as I patient

[barren oyster]

I can relate to that. Gotta hate the mfs that spam “take the shot!”

[whole kettle]

I dont mind chasers but it's when they miss and blame you for a goal or s,th

[dusky fiber]

Rlly try grinding a bit more 1s. In c2 people dont take that good of an advantage of 2v1. So if u are good in 1s u will save that pretty easy as champs in 2s are usually plat in 1s. But yh i understand its a pain sometimes

[whole kettle]

When I actually play 1s I normally sit around D2-D3 in 1s

[white sable]

Ngl I feel like after hitting gc my tm8s have been less toxic than champ and below. I think high champ is the worst because people want gc so badly they get more titled

[whole kettle]

1s used to be my highest ranked gamemode at D3 until I got champ in 2s

[dusky fiber]

Target champ, then u will be good to go even for low gc

[whole kettle]

I've hit champ once before in 1s on a alt pretty soon out of placements cause of the mmr boost you get lol

[dusky fiber]

Often just an ego thing. People think they are better then their mate and find excuses to not hit it. Then they have nothing to improve on as solo q mates are a factor they cant change and thats why they are hardstuck for a long time then

[dusky fiber]

Fair lol. Def get better with fake challanges, everytime someone leaves me alone they save me

[somber prism]

I'm happy to hop on sometime and play some casual if you like.

I'm not Bronze/Silver, but I'm definitely still in the 'lower ranks' (Gold 2)

This game has an insanely high skill ceiling and the learning curve can be kinda brutal, so don't worry about your rank for now, nobody's judging. :)

[whole kettle]

With my current skill set ik I am good enough for GC1, my problem is Im always chasing it. I prefer the faster pace lobbies compared to the slow ones. I feel like im sitting around a lot currently cause the game just doesn't feel fluid

[novel valley]

I would love that honestly! I'm on mouse and keyboard as well and I've been having a blast learning the different controlls and playing with keybinds and everything. Great game overall

[somber prism]

Same! KBM for the win. Woop woop!

[soft lintel]

yessir ( we are not making it past c1)

[somber prism]

Recently played with a KBM GC1 :P

[dusky fiber]

Yh i understand, u need to play a bit diffrent in champ elo then in gc elo to get out there. I would play more defensive, less mechs, not playing risky, a bit more 1s to have it easier in 1v1 scenarios. Collect more small pads to stay more in rotation and look more at yourself. But yh if u just play 2 weeks per season it might not be that easy to reach

[soft lintel]

yeah im not denying that you can be high ranked on kbm but controller is generally better

[somber prism]

So I've heard...from plenty of Diamonds... :P

Stick together, KBM brothers ;)

[whole kettle]

I got pretty much 0 mechs lol and I feel like that is a factor as I cant be 100% confident going for something. I can do resets, ceiling shots, air dribs double taps but it's not my main gameplay. That is what im working in match more of picking up pads and not 100s to stay in rotation more and be quicker to the ball and not losing boost mid aerial. And Mechs in freeplay for more confidence and have mechs in my aresnal should they arise

[soft lintel]

haha yes im also a diamond on kbm

i feel like im better on kbm more than on controller

[somber prism]

Hahahahah! I'm Gold, but hey, that doesn't mean I can't make fun of Diamonds :PPP

[dusky fiber]

Will not be necessary dont worry, as long u are consistent with the basics it will work out. A friend of mine got gc2 yesterday and he cant even properly fly all because of good ground play and being unpredictable. In general i would try not playing too risky. In c2 people often overcomit then u get in a 1v1 scenario and if u are decent with it u can punish them a lot for it

[soft lintel]

yes ofc

after 300 hours on controller i only got to d1 once and then dipped back because i play occasionally but on kbm i got to d2 after 100 hours

i think im sitcking with kbm

[somber prism]

Interesting, I wouldn't expect that.

I'm sticking with KBM because it's what I started with and I just play for fun.

[whole kettle]

Ik Mechs aren't needed at all, just for me to have some fun with within games. I've stopped playing risky. Thankfully 9/10s in a 1v1 if a Rule 1 or somth happens I normally score

[dull ermine]

yo can anybody teach me basic shooting mechs please? (dm me)

[soft lintel]

yes kbm is fun too

[dusky fiber]

Nice sounds good, maybe u just need to play more tbh. Would def make a difference. But no need to force it if u dont have fun. Fun > rank

[whole kettle]

I just stop having fun when I go up and down rank like a yoyo, when RL was my main game it was fine but now it isnt I just stop having fun. If I start ranking up I have fun cause now I got smth else to strive for, I have fun when I get to high C3 low GC1 as im pushing for the GC rewards

[dull ermine]

can anybody teach me flicks and dribbling please? (dm me)

[cyan sage]

any dia 2/3 that would want to play 2s?

[cyan sage]

Any tips on how to get off dia 3, been stuck on this for ages, mabye because i always queue instead of finding a teamate?

[edgy ledge]

Hey I probably have some but whats your playstyle like?

[rich oar]

hello, i am a d1 in 2s and a p2 in 1s i am looking for some free coaching is anyone avalible rn to do this,ps: i dont have a mic

[raw ruin]

i can help @rich oar are you NA

[rich oar]

no sos im eu but i just want someone to call me and coach me thriough some ones matches#

[queen plaza]

I just got new binds yesterday. What should I work on? Maybe car control?

[slow vault]

what should be my left air roll? i currently have it on the left arrow, just not very good

[raw ruin]

on kbm?

are you not using your mouse

[queen plaza]

You could put it on left joystick

[rich oar]

@raw ruin sos i forgot to tag u in my reply

[slow vault]

no, the left arrow on the controller

[queen plaza]

You could use left joystick

Just be comfortable with it tho

[slow vault]

i tried, didn't work well for me, and sometimes it doesn't click that's a problem with the controller

[raw ruin]

na you want it on either bumpers if youre using boost on your buttons like circle or w/e, or if youre using bumper boost(like me) you want it on circle or w/e

[queen plaza]

You don’t need it to click.

[slow vault]

L1 is boost

[queen plaza]

You can make it so you move it left or right

[raw ruin]

i can run a 2s game with you and just point out things i see

[slow vault]

but it will always move tho

[whole kettle]

Play with your teammate(s) and not against

[slow vault]

i wouldn't want that

[queen plaza]

Oh

[rich oar]

bet

[raw ruin]

hey @whole kettle better luck today?

[whole kettle]

That’d be handy

[raw ruin]

i see youre in c2 now

[whole kettle]

Nope, down to lower where I started off yesterday 😂

[slow vault]

so which button should be left air roll

[little cove]

can't rank up, constantly in a losing streak going from diamond to plat, anyone got any tips?

[raw ruin]

hmm do you have replays @whole kettle

[queen plaza]

What should I work on? I just got new binds yesterday. Maybe car control?

[rich oar]

im in same sithc

[raw ruin]

i use square air roll left, circle air roll right, right bumper boost, left bumper drift and free roll

[rich oar]

sitch*

[raw ruin]

Valk im on my alt add Freak off Sesh 2

[slow vault]

same thing, once i'm almost plat i just go back to gold 1 sometimes even silver 3

[whole kettle]

Bakkes mod saves them all, I think I stopped doing what you were showing me while still doing it and I was getting frustrated at teammates so started to Ball chase

[raw ruin]

oof that happens

[rich oar]

done

[little cove]

I was sitting steadily in diamond, I play a few matches with low rank friends and then once you notice it your in plat. I play with randoms to get up but for some reason these plats are so impossible to read and go for every ball it just makes me confused as to what to do

[raw ruin]

youre main problem is getting to close when attacking, and rotating back too far on defending or getting boost@whole kettle

remember the spacing we talked about

[whole kettle]

I’d agree on that

[raw ruin]

send me a replay ill look @ it

[slow vault]

that's true, same as in gold they want every touch to be a goal

[whole kettle]

Currently at work

[raw ruin]

all good we can later

[whole kettle]

Won’t be back for abt 7hrs

[slow vault]

i know some mechanics but i'm still in gold idk why

[raw ruin]

you were doing really well and then stop using it now youre lower

[last matrix]

Hey

Anyone have any tips to get the hell out of plat

[whole kettle]

My problem is that I know I’m better than probably 80% of the people in my games cause I find the speed of play way to slow in C2

[last matrix]

Cuz I hate plat

[whole kettle]

Or thinking I was using when I actually wasn’t

[raw ruin]

so use that speed, to rotated back fast so you can cross that line or getting back in the play faster to reset that position change

[whole kettle]

Take me into an SSL lobby and see how well I do 😂

[last matrix]

Sheesh

[whole kettle]

That would be fun as hell

[slow vault]

my mmr 1104 :P

[whole kettle]

Highest i’ve played is 1630 or smth like that

[raw ruin]

c1 d2 nice brotha @slow vault

[slow vault]

no i'm gold 2

[raw ruin]

oh cas

[last matrix]

Are you really a coach

[slow vault]

that's in casual, mmr is 1104

[raw ruin]

yes

[whole kettle]

Ignore cas mmr

[raw ruin]

peep my discord banner 🙂

[slow vault]

yeah

[whole kettle]

It’s useless

[slow vault]

true idc about it

[last matrix]

Nice horse dash with a Ford raptor

[slow vault]

when i lose one game it's like -14 mmr but i win only +2

[whole kettle]

@raw ruin Another problem is I decided to start using the fennec

[slow vault]

TW fennec?

[whole kettle]

TW Striker I think

[slow vault]

🔥

[whole kettle]

But Octane hitbox is ass

It’s too tall

[slow vault]

i've played with the octane since i've started rocket league which is like 5 months, just few days ago i bought the black fennec and yesterday the white one. i don't see any difference when shooting or touching the ball ( between fennec and octane )

[narrow ravine]

hi guys im wondering which car to use

[slow vault]

Octane / Fennec

[narrow ravine]

those are the ones i mainly use thanks

[whole kettle]

Octane and Fennec have the same hitbox

[slow vault]

👍

[narrow ravine]

are the hitboxes much different

[restive granite]

What do you think i should practice to get out of d1 in 2s

[restive granite]

Nah

[narrow ravine]

alr

[whole kettle]

Shadow Defence

[slow vault]

quick tips to get out of gold?

[restive granite]

How can i practice it without being in a match

[narrow ravine]

man i dont know wether to solo q or play with my friend

im gold 3

[whole kettle]

Best way is 1v1

[narrow ravine]

he is champ

[restive granite]

Friend is funner

[slow vault]

huh

[restive granite]

Im gold 3 in ones

[restive granite]

Solo queue boring

[narrow ravine]

his alt is like d3 so whenever i play with him we get put against diamonds

[restive granite]

Bruh didnt mean to reply to you

[whole kettle]

You can’t really practise shadow defence without being in a match

[restive granite]

Yea

[slow vault]

i only play with a friend, i've lost so many games of him just doing stupid stuff making me laugh till my lungs are out

[restive granite]

Yea in solo aueue i just get angry and lose thats why im gold 3

[slow vault]

frr

[whole kettle]

@raw ruin What i’ll do is I’ll upload a bunch of replays on Ballchaser.com and you can select a random one

[slow vault]

how do i get out of gold tho

[narrow ravine]

i got plat for the first time yesterday

[restive granite]

In solo queue or twos

[whole kettle]

The best way to rank up is to score more goals than the opponents

[restive granite]

Really?

[whole kettle]

Yes

[slow vault]

Daaaamn didn't really know

[whole kettle]

1s are really good for improvement, as the skills in 1s can be applied to all other game modes.

[slow vault]

also, one thing is why i'm in the lower ranks, is my fps.
i usually play on 24fps also on some maps it goes 19 fps, on the end of the match like last 30s sometimes last minute it goes 31fps max. that last minute is when i can do the mechanics i know how to do because it will work unlike doing them on the begging of the match

[whole kettle]

I played 1s only for a whole season (after getting my ranked rewards) and the next season I went up a whole rank bracket the next season

[whole kettle]

What are you playing on?

[slow vault]

laptop

[whole kettle]

That’s some trash laptop ngl

[slow vault]

yeah

since 2019

[whole kettle]

If I drop below 500fps my game feels slow 😂

[slow vault]

🤨

meanwhile your screen is only 144hz

[whole kettle]

Try triple that

[slow vault]

460?

[uncut abyss]

Anyone eu is champ 2? I’m 1 game off c3 and would appreciate some help

[whole kettle]

Nah, I got a 360Hz so double but so wanted to say triple

[slow vault]

oh

that's nice

[whole kettle]

Yeah, I used to play siege and warzone competitively

[slow vault]

i used to play gartic.io competitively 😏

[whole kettle]

I need some help getting to GC again, not sure why I can’t get back there. Any help appreciated

[pure solar]

hey guys, i am a kbm player because i aint got money for a controller, my xbox controller doesnt connect via wire and batteries are too expensive,

I want to learn airrolling because thats what makes the game fun, any tips?

[real hazel]

Yo can anyone help teach me how to speed flip

Or show me how they do it

[pseudo drift]

just look it up on youtube

[real hazel]

I did

But I confused

[pseudo drift]

its just a diagonal flip cancel + boost

[real hazel]

And u can see what I’m doing rong

Wrong

[pure solar]

analyze their timings

the time they cancel it
better if they got overlay

[whole kettle]

I also add air roll to my speed flips as well

[real hazel]

Can I add someone and go into a private match

Pls

[pseudo drift]

u cant just see exactly what ur doing wrong in a pm

u just gotta figure it our yourself with that brain of urs

its there for a reason,,,

[whole kettle]

Honestly, it’s just practise. Diagonal flip and when you hit jump again instantly pull the stick to the bottom of the axis

[distant gust]

i peaked c1 few months ago and quit the game, i got back into it a few weeks ago and cant seem to get out of d2
anyone can help

[real hazel]

But can I see one of yours

[pseudo drift]

find a duo

[pseudo drift]

how is that any different from the youtube video

[distant gust]

i dont got a mic nobody wants to play like this

[pseudo drift]

u dont need a mic

[real hazel]

Ye u don’t need one

Go in the chat for groups

[pseudo drift]

just find someone who will play with u consistently and has the same / similar goals as u

[real hazel]

Can u do a speed flip

[pseudo drift]

i found most people i play with in game

[pure solar]

anyone? airrolling with kbm

when i used controller it was 10x easier but i was doing it intuitively which i cant really apply now to kbm

[real hazel]

The game is meant for controller tho

[pseudo drift]

me?

[real hazel]

Ye

[pseudo drift]

ofc

[real hazel]

Do u have a clip

[pseudo drift]

idk how thats gonna help

but hang on lemme check

[pure solar]

that is true but i dont have a controller niether can i buy one

[real hazel]

K thanks

[pure solar]

just gotta do with kbm

[real hazel]

Oh

[pure solar]

probably gonna imporve 5 times slower than a controller player but it is what it is

[real hazel]

Ye

[left heath]

Nobody plays with me, guys

[pseudo drift]

u can probably look up a yukeo or henkovic tutorial on youtube

[pure solar]

are they pro players?

[pseudo drift]

yukeo is yeah

henkovic is a comp clip hitter (freestyler)

[real hazel]

Pacify u got a clip?

[pseudo drift]

oh my b

gimme a min i can flip one rq

[real hazel]

Kk

[raw ruin]

lmk @rich oar if you have any other questions

[rich oar]

kk

[whole kettle]

I got a question for Brett

[raw ruin]

wsp

[whole kettle]

Why am I so bad?

[raw ruin]

skill issue 😼

[whole kettle]

Damn

[raw ruin]

jkjk youre not just overthinking

[pure solar]

whats the problem when u try to do it, can u do but u land to the left or right, or what

[whole kettle]

I gained over 100 elo yesterday in less than a hour or so, and today lost about 120+

Maybe even 140

[raw ruin]

youre reverting back to your old ways

[pseudo drift]

do i have to dm him the clip 🤨

[raw ruin]

due to tilting

[cosmic vigil]

Send it in #gameplay-highlights

[raw ruin]

if anyone has a question on mechanics or a certain thing like resets or speed flips let me know and ill post a clip in #gameplay-highlights of me breaking it down

[pseudo drift]

aight

[whole kettle]

Yeah cause I couldn’t bit the ball without double committing

[pure solar]

if u are just confused because theres tooo much going just break it down to like 3 steps and pratice the step one by one, like what i did was, first practice just flipping and preparing to move my fingers to the other keys, then once i am confortable with that i do the cancelling, then practice the stabilization

[pseudo drift]

probably better than me just showing a clip of me doing it with overlay 😭 🙏

[raw ruin]

i would use the same thing

[whole kettle]

Speed flips aren’t important, so don’t speed flip often and Brett didn’t pick up on that the other day 🙂

[pure solar]

does kbm air rolling count

[pseudo drift]

i speed flip every flip ngl

[whole kettle]

kbm air rolling is the same as on co troller…

[pure solar]

hell no

[whole kettle]

I don’t see what your having an issue with

[whole kettle]

I don’t see anything wrong

[pure solar]

i dont think anyone airrolls while thinking about what each input does, they just do it because they have so much experience, that intuitive learning part is 10x easier with controller, atleast in my expierence

[whole kettle]

Nah, I struggled more learning with controller than I did with kbm

[pure solar]

people differ ig

[whole kettle]

But that is also because i’m more used a keyboard than a controller

[pure solar]

i am new to both

[whole kettle]

When I made an account solely for kbm I hit D2 in 1s and D3 in 2s on my first day

Is RL your first ever game on a console/pc ever?

[pure solar]

because controller was first correct?

meaning u played on controller first learned it there then went to kbm

[whole kettle]

I started on kbm as I didn’t have a controller when so got RL

[pure solar]

dang

so how'd u learn it on kbm

[whole kettle]

My first 500-600hrs were with kbm then I switched to controller

I learnt air rolling by doing it

Simple as that

[pure solar]

seems pretty inefficent

how were u doing feedback?

were u familiarizing urself with what each input does?

[whole kettle]

The way I learnt aerial controls both kbm and controller was by flying around in freeplay/private matches

[pseudo drift]

how do you air roll on kbm

[whole kettle]

First just trying to fly a wall length

Then 2-3-4

[pseudo drift]

on controller i juse use circular motions while air rolling

[whole kettle]

I use directional air roll

[pseudo drift]

yes

[pure solar]

i think the whole learning process is different

[pseudo drift]

no no

not what i meant

[pure solar]

what areu saying

ik the joystick

u move it in a cirular motion and make adjustments

thats literally all controller players

[pseudo drift]

how do you use directional air roll without doing the tornado spin

[pure solar]

they do the tornado spin though

[real hazel]

Where the clip go

[pseudo drift]

in #gameplay-highlights

[real hazel]

K

[pseudo drift]

hang on lemme show u what i mean

[pure solar]

ur talking about turning the car vertical with air roll so that they can go up for aeriels right?

[pseudo drift]

yes

[whole kettle]

If that’s what you mean then I just use WASD

[pure solar]

^

u use wasd as the whole joystick

[pseudo drift]

like in a circular motion

ahh like a lurch i get it

[whole kettle]

And then directional was on my mouse side buttons

[real hazel]

Pacify can u look at what sent you privately pls

[pure solar]

anyway to use rings map on epic games launcher

[rotund glacier]

bakkes mod

[pure solar]

aha makes sense

[cyan sage]

Can someone coach me and give me some useful tips?

On ps4

Controller

[fair kernel]

What rank are you

[cyan sage]

Plat 2 div 1

[fair kernel]

I can but I'm diamond 3 (couple games from champ)

What helped me in plat is playing and grinding more 1v1s, never playing on a losing streak or when I'm titled, and finding tm8s on here

[cyan sage]

Ok

Thx

[keen epoch]

bro so i almsot hit d3 last night 2 times by 1 win off and lost those 2 times😭

we almost won the 2 times as well😭

but today is the day i hit a new peak (d3 div 3 or 4 would be the peak)

How i can learn directional air roll any of the videos i have seen haven’t helped me?

[obtuse kestrel]

Can someone help me get to silver, I’m bronze 3. Lost rank cuz of brother playing on my acc. I can speed flip basic dribble and do some other mechs

I need a teammate

[keen epoch]

i havent done it today but that my goal for today

guys i just notice the whole time ive been playing pc lobbies only😭

that probably why im not ranking up quickly💀

[shell thorn]

how would that change how fast you're ranking up 😭

[keen epoch]

smirfs i find more in pc lobbies tbh

[jaunty mountain]

controllers way sweatier wym

[buoyant monolith]

console players are much worse

[keen epoch]

nvm i rather have the pc lobbies since they have better players in general

[shell thorn]

that literally makes no sense.

if they're the same rank, they're not magically going to be worse.

[buoyant monolith]

most of them play with cross platform off

[keen epoch]

bro pc players can have controllers players in the lobbies😭

[shell thorn]

i doubt they do, it makes queues much longer.

i hardly play vs another xbox player and it's a full xbox game.

[buoyant monolith]

ah, so you play on console

it makes sense why u got offended

[shell thorn]

i'm not offended at all lol, i've just seen people say that before, and it's completely illogical.

[jaunty mountain]

ok why r u trying to start an argument

[buoyant monolith]

every console player i see in the same rank has no hands

pc players are much better than them

[half nest]

Huh

[buoyant monolith]

they get crushed and they go back to cross platform off

[shell thorn]

[half nest]

Hi am new is my rank

[shell thorn]

[old notch]

How to I send a request in looking for group?

[turbid oyster]

anyone champ+ trying to 1v1

[neon needle]

Take this with a grain of salt, but maybe take a break man, it doesn't sound like you're actually having fun anymore.

[neon needle]

You are looking for the phrase "Air Dribble" and depending how new you are, you may want a solid 10-40 hours under the belt of car control before starting with aerial dribbling

[warm ferry]

why am I only able to join 1 of every like 50 lfg's and they are all champ 3

I'm diamond 2

[minor dew]

you dont even know 🤦‍♂️

[neon needle]

What do you mean by "able to join" like by rank or?

[minor dew]

champ is scum (im champ)

[warm ferry]

No, it only shows the join voice for specifically one rank

I dont understand why

and I would prefer not to play with randoms because I lost 3 matches in a row like that

[shell thorn]

!?

[minor dew]

you js dont know!!!

[shell thorn]

okay!

[minor dew]

Check dms

[fluid coral]

Anybody here know what the term *silent carry implies?

[pure sonnet]

Whos diamond champ or gc or ssl dm me rq

[blissful bone]

Can any1 coach me? Gold 1 in 2s and silver 1 in 1s

[whole kettle]

To me that means the scoreboard doesn’t show it but whoever got silent carried didn’t do much for the overall impact of the game

[fluid coral]

Thanks but before gc i needa get out c1

[fluid coral]

just hit the ball alot

Silent carry is when you carry somebody by preventing the oponents from scoring and letting your tm8 score each goal normaly giving you 200 score for there 500

[whole kettle]

That’s what I mean, you’ve had more effect on the game but your score is lower as you’re not getting the goals and the 110 points per goals. Imo whoever saves more is the person why won the game for the team

[shell thorn]

it's a dual effort in that sense, points aren't a totally accurate representation, but they often lead in the correct direction.

[old glen]

I was when i played, now starting again! I have no idea am doing wrong but i suck ass lol. Someone wanna do quick coaching?

[fluid coral]

oh sorry yea no i was agreeing

if your around c2 or higher playing with like a diamond or plat tm8 trying to hide your a higher rank you might be very familiar with it

😄 but sometimes you get anoyed cuz they say your getting carried anyway was curious if others use it to explain to players how impact works

[old glen]

!! I NEED HELP !! I was when i played, now starting again! I have no idea am doing wrong but i suck ass lol. Someone wanna do quick coaching?

?

[old glen]

you really are dum lol

[wide lance]

do i need to be on steam?

[fluid coral]

No lol im joking, hey honest man a tip for flip resets, go up the wall straight for get about the net fokus on hitting the ball up giving you enough space to go underneath and get flip resets, just practise this over and over till you feel confident

[wide lance]

TY

[jovial steppe]

Hi can someone coach me to air dribble?

[fluid coral]

a plugin that could help you learn this is TAS just setup a Tas where your on the wall and have it start you there then you just grind resets

when your comfortable start tryna hit the ball after you get the flip

tip dont instantly flip try pionting the nose to the ball and build speed like your going for a ariel

[whole kettle]

Of course agreed for 90% of games

[kind leaf]

[fringe robin]

just play the game mate

[obtuse kestrel]

Dawg

[fringe robin]

yes

[obtuse kestrel]

The Smurfs is crazy I just saw a guy air dribble

And my team

[fringe robin]

OMG SO good!!!! airdribles

[obtuse kestrel]

Saving goals from my own team is some I never expected

[obtuse kestrel]

In bronze dawg

[cyan sage]

Im d3

[fringe robin]

If i express my opinion rn i will go to prison for life

[fringe robin]

Just make a new acc

[balmy tapir]

seeing air dribbles in gold and plat makes me think they're worse instead of better because if they're stuck in gold and plat and can air dribble they're doing something massively wrong

[fringe robin]

Fr 🤣

[white sable]

Below gold/plat you just gotta play the game more and get used to hitting the ball. You’ll improve just by playing more.

It is tough tho cuz it’s definitely filled with smurfs

[obtuse kestrel]

I’m on ps5 so it’s not that easy

[fringe robin]

Your avg I am plat but i can triple flip reset musty phyco. (Has gotten a reset once in freeplay by accident)

[fringe robin]

Well F***

[balmy tapir]

yup and I'm still in gold, which is why I'm not going to learn how to air dribble unless I somehow figure it out by just playing

[obtuse kestrel]

No dawg. I can basic dribble and speed flip, wave dash. I got pretty good power shots I’d say.

[fringe robin]

Speed flip from walmart or actual?

[balmy tapir]

wavedash is kind of essential no?

[obtuse kestrel]

I’m just tryna get a good team

[fringe robin]

Good to know for d1-2+

[obtuse kestrel]

From ali express

[candid cobalt]

how to do Heli

[white sable]

If you have actually have good power shots you be Diamond ngl

You can literally just hit the ball on net with power below plat and score

[balmy tapir]

I thought it was lower

finding it super usefull here low in gold 2

[candid cedar]

anyone got any freestyle tips?

[candid cobalt]

what type

[fringe robin]

In diamond it can give a noticeable difference compared to people who only flip. In lower ranks It is a chaos so yeah..

[white sable]

If you want specific advice to improve I suggest checking out some YouTube videos on how to improve, they will help a lot in lower ranks if you actually focus on implementing the stuff they suggest instead of just watching it and ignoring the advice

[fringe robin]

Well didnt say it was useless

[candid cobalt]

@candid cedar yo

[candid cedar]

hi

@candid cobalthows it goin

[candid cobalt]

what type of freestylin?
