[candid cobalt]

i can't do thise yet 🥲

[candid cedar]

im bad thop only d2

but like freestyling more than ranked

@candid cobaltnp

[candid cobalt]

i'm D1 lol

[candid cedar]

you like freestyling then?

[candid cobalt]

yeah

[candid cedar]

nice cya i guess

[candid cobalt]

helis are weird and hard to get the hang of

maktufs are neat just getting the feel for them ngl

[candid cedar]

@candid cobaltfr

[white sable]

break mechanics down step by step, make sure you solid at each step before trying to work on the whole thing at once

[candid cedar]

@white sablecheers

[candid cobalt]

helis can't really be broke diwn i don't think 💀

[candid cedar]

@candid cobaltill watch a video to breack it down ot sompthing

[white sable]

i mean you still kinda can,

being able to stall, a good hit off the wall, getting a good first reset high in the air

its not as easy but you can still def break it down and look for where you are messing up

a lot of the time if you mess up on a certain part its actually the step before that you are not doing properly

like for example if you messing up air dribble carries, a lot of the time its because you don't actually have a good hit off the wall to even start the carry

[candid cedar]

@white sableill keep it in mind thanks man

[shell thorn]

@inner juniper i swear i saw a message, not sure where it went lol, let me know if you still wanted tips.

[sage trout]

i am stuck,by stuck i mean that i have been play since F2P and i got to dimond 2 then i was forced to quit for a wile (6 mounths) iv lost all my skis and i am now stuck in plat hell,its been almost 4 mounths for me in plat hell, i have 1.5k hrs, my friends tell me that i just need to play more but i all ready do
i think like a dimond but have the manichnis of a gold, im good but i suck ass
what should i do?

i want to get back to where i was but i dont know how to, genuenly thinking of quiting the game i at this point if my rank keeps going down

my in game name is also 131T if u wana check it on RL tracker

[hidden bramble]

me too

[sage trout]

The other problem I have is that when I try to predict where they’re gona hit it, I can’t predict it bc of how much ass they like to suck at hitting the ball, it goes like this. He’s going for the ball, I go for the ball, he misses the ball,I miss the ball and just hit him instead bc I’m trying to 50 the ball.

[inner juniper]

yeah ill have some tips

what are some gamesense tips

[odd gazelle]

my problem is im a gc1 and i cant speedflip

[manic badge]

Maybe try learning? Lol

[zinc root]

speedflips will help you alot learn them

[manic badge]

It’s not that hard. If you’re an airroll left user, while boosting our ur joystick to about 10-11 o clock and double tap, after the second tap quickly pull back to roughly 5 o clock on your joystick to cancel the flip and use airrroll a little to help yourself lands easily. They aren’t just used for kickoffs but also recoveries n more

If you’re airroll right, invert the joystick positions

[shrewd matrix]

You arent supposed to play a game of prediction yet grt good at reacting before you try getting good at predicting

[shrewd matrix]

Why dont you for example spam shadow defense till you get really good and then save the ball in a way that gives you possession? Why try beating them to balls when they arent an offensive threat yet?

[shell thorn]

platinum II (game sense heavy)

positioning & rotation: focus on proper rotations, which includes avoiding double commits with your teammate. position to cover open areas (space) in a position to help your teammate and be ready for a counterattack.

backboard defense: definitely start practicing and utilizing backboard defense to counter high shots and rebounds. think about how many goals are scored from the opponent missing or hitting it off of the background, it rebounding, and you/your teammate, awkwardly unable to make a save.

boost management: don't overuse boost. collect small pads around the field as you rotate-- learn where they are and their routes. this will help you to stay in the game, and not have to go all the way back or/and have little boost constantly.

let me know if you have any questions or want me to elaborate.

[zinc root]

up until champ you only need basic gamesense to get through

[shell thorn]

that's a stretch, but i do see your point.

[zinc root]

its not though.

[shrewd matrix]

Change that till line c3-gc1

Like*

[zinc root]

well but id argue that champ players are better at hitting the ball yk

so its not just gamesense

[odd gazelle]

thank you

[shrewd matrix]

The quality of gamesense needed to get gc is absolutely too low

Oh now i know what you mean

But u need mechs more than gamesense

[manic badge]

If that doesn’t work for you, try watch a YT vid but it’s generally how you do it. Just focusing on learning when the best time to actually use the flip is

[shrewd matrix]

Gamesense always comes after mechs cause no strategy will help you if you cant even execute the moves to do it

[zinc root]

you can get any rank with basic gamesense and good mechs

you need more consistency and speed as you progress through though

[shrewd matrix]

U say basic gamesense but it will be refined to a point where you could call it advanced by the point you get to high gc

[shell thorn]

that's what i was thinking, "good" and "basic" here are relative to the rank, so a silver is going to look at what a champion calls basic, and rethink everything.

[zinc root]

gold and below def have no gamesense

ive been plats waste all their boost on supersonic

[shrewd matrix]

Getting high gc is based heavily on speed. Not just moving fast but also reacting fast and reacting fast comes from decision making and pattern recognition. To react fast enough in gc you need to be quite advanced in your experience thats why i dont call it basic gamesense at that point

[high igloo]

I’ve seen gcs do that

[zinc root]

season 14 before f2p?

[shrewd matrix]

Id reccomment practicing shadow defense over backboard defence. Plats arent nearly good enough at aerial mechs or hitting the backboard to make that a rewarding enough skill yet

[high igloo]

Current

[high igloo]

For 2s?

[shrewd matrix]

I remember playing with a guy like that in low gc2 a few months ago. Playing super aggressive and boost heavy he would empty his tank every time he went up or down the field and go only for big bolsts

Boosts*

[shrewd matrix]

Especially in 2s

[high igloo]

I feel like shadow defense isn’t as relevant in 2s as backboard

[shrewd matrix]

Way more 1v1 or 1v2 situations than 3s and more useful until your opponents become efficient at using the backboard on purpose

[high igloo]

In 2s if you are last man you should ideally be facing the ball anyways on defense

[zinc root]

well then he obviously has mechanics to compensate for

[high igloo]

And if you have a tm8 behind you you can just insta challenge

[shrewd matrix]

Have you ever watched a champ or gc 1v1 a plat?

Mostly one of 2 things happen

Either they insta challenge everything

[high igloo]

That’s 1v1 tho

[shrewd matrix]

Or they just spam shadow defence since they can save everything with that

[white sable]

idk bout that should probably be shadowing buying time for tm8 to get back to interupt the plkay, if you facing the ball then you probably getting a 50 which is not ideal when no one behind you

[shrewd matrix]

Same thing for 2s

Line i said more 1v1 and 1v2 situations

[zinc root]

well becuse gcs and champs are better than plat in almost every aspect

[high igloo]

I usually just be back post tho

[zinc root]

i can insta challenge without getting punished

[shrewd matrix]

Including backboard defence. Yet they dont see it nessesary to spam backboard defence right

Doesnt mean they wont use it but not as much as shadow defence

[zinc root]

oh I played against a plat and I didnt have to defend all game

I just ballchase and opponent is always akward

[high igloo]

If you aren’t able to defend on the backboard you are just cooked tho

[zinc root]

well thats the most basic thing you will learn in champ or maybe even diamond

[shrewd matrix]

Why would you wanna defend it if your opponents dont know how to use it

[high igloo]

Why shadow defend when your opponents can’t even dribble

[white sable]

What rank you guys taking abt

[silver basin]

hello, im bad at aerials because i keep missing the ball. any tips?

[shrewd matrix]

They cant dribble but they sure as hell can shoot somewhere near or in your net

[high igloo]

The ball always just randomly goes up the back wall in all ranks

[shrewd matrix]

Thats when you sahdow defence save to the corner

[high igloo]

The ball is more often on your backboard than controlled on someone’s car in plate

Nobody takes control in low ranks

[shrewd matrix]

Line i said shooting

Plats bang the ball 24/7

[silver basin]

?

[shrewd matrix]

Why even let it hit your backboard if you can save it to your corner

[high igloo]

Do some aerial training packs

[silver basin]

okay, thanks

[shrewd matrix]

Make sure you have proper settings aswell

Get some kind of mainstream settings from a pro and start off with those

[fair kernel]

If ur really bad at aerials then to start with u can press the launch ball setting in free play and try hit it

[shell latch]

Would anyone like to help me with a VOD review of a team that my high school esports team will be facing in a couple of weeks?

[raw ruin]

helping anyone with mechanics or game sense

[fair kernel]

Depends, what rank

[shell latch]

One of the players is Champ3/SSL, another is Diamond 2, I could not find the last players rank.

[fair kernel]

Champ3/ssl??

Nah I don't think im qualifies enf for that lol

[shell latch]

any feedback would help. I am unsure of how the player is that rank because although he is good. He does not seem to be like other SSLs I have seen. let me know if you are interested in helping.

[white sable]

How is he c3/ssl that’s a crazy range

[shell latch]

he was champ3 div 4 and hit SSL back in Sept.

I am just trying to get a solid game plan for the team that i coach and wanted to hear some other perspectives.

I coach a 3 players that are steady Champ 3 div 2-4.

[white sable]

I imagine if you playing against a team with that big skill difference a good strat would be to early challenge and focus on the ssl and not give him time to set up solo plays too much

[obtuse kestrel]

Lfg 1 for ranked 2s. I’m bronze but can speed flip and other mechs. Someone help me get to silvwr

[shell latch]

I was thinking the same thing. When I watch the film, I feel like he is restricted by his teammates.

[fallow sundial]

How do i 45 degree flick?

[white sable]

yea i think if his tm8s were like mid champ or higher he can set up some good plays for them even if he is kinda locked down but with a d2 team mate there probably isnt as much oppurtunity for his tm8s to take advantage of the play

[raw ruin]

trav i can show a video of my doing one @fallow sundial and put it in here #gameplay-highlights

[manic badge]

Me too

[fallow sundial]

okay

[obtuse kestrel]

What’s ur peak rank?

I was gold before my brother played on my acc

[manic badge]

Bronze 2 Div 2. Back in bronze 1 Div 4 tho

[obtuse kestrel]

K my user is

[manic badge]

I know how to double flip reset, speedflip, ceiling musty double, flip reset musty double tho

[obtuse kestrel]

Hasanzzcool

[obtuse kestrel]

Ye I looked at ur bio

[manic badge]

I’m good for a bronze

[obtuse kestrel]

Idc if ur a Smurf just need a teammate who’s not autistic

[manic badge]

lol I ain’t got a bronze account

Both accs are C1

[obtuse kestrel]

K

Lfg 1 for ranked 2s. I’m bronze but can speed flip and other mechs. Someone help me get to silvwr

[manic badge]

Thought u were trolling. No bronze is speedflipping 😭

[obtuse kestrel]

Np lik actuslly

[manic badge]

Send clip of u hitting it in the musty training pack

[obtuse kestrel]

Wallah swear to god I can speed flip

[manic badge]

Only like 5% of players can do a proper one consistently and that’s in diamond

[manic badge]

Send a clip of it

[obtuse kestrel]

In a bit I’m joining a game now

[raw ruin]

if you need help lmk

[midnight yarrow]

can sb help im sick of having good mechs and still being buns at the game

1480

[manic badge]

Done?

[manic badge]

Game sense lol

[midnight yarrow]

yes bro but u cant just spawn in gamesense

[obtuse kestrel]

Code?

[raw ruin]

gotta actively think

[split skiff]

if ur good at mechs play to your strength and fake chal more, and waste your opponents boost so u have more space to go for mechs

[raw ruin]

1480 comp or cas

[manic badge]

You won’t improve until u get more game sense

[midnight yarrow]

comp

[raw ruin]

we can run a game if you want an i can poiint out things

[midnight yarrow]

ive never thought of creating space like this that helps ty 🙏

[midnight yarrow]

yeah sure

u eu?

[raw ruin]

no we can run cas its fine

[midnight yarrow]

ty

[split skiff]

yeah np creating space is one of the biggest things if u have space u can set up plays way easier

[midnight yarrow]

add ben _ _ _ or lmk ur epic

[raw ruin]

ok

[midnight yarrow]

wait not that it sent wrong

just tell me urs pls 🙏

[midnight yarrow]

ill defo try implement this more

[raw ruin]

ill dm

[split skiff]

and understanding what to do with that space is the biggest thing that will help u climb i would say

[midnight yarrow]

i feel like i can score out the air pretty well when i get the chance

just actually creating that space

[split skiff]

if u can play fast while also baiting out by fake chaling u can get free pos if ur defense is good

[midnight yarrow]

preciate it

[split skiff]

yur we can always run it up if ur down i can help u with alot more

[obtuse kestrel]

Lfg 1 for ranked 2s. I’m bronze but can speed flip and other mechs. Someone help me get to silver

[zealous blaze]

GUYS HOW DO I TRIPLE DASH

[delicate token]

Who can help me with mechs

[obtuse kestrel]

Anyone wanna help me get to silver

[balmy tapir]

oh right bronze is stacked with smurfs

what rank would you say you "should" be in?

[obtuse kestrel]

I peaked at gold 2

[manic badge]

No gold 2 should be dropping below silver

[obtuse kestrel]

And so do most of my friends say I’m low gold level

[manic badge]

Idk but you 100% can’t speedflip lol

[obtuse kestrel]

Wasnt me Blawg. My lil bro wanted to play with his friends, so he just dropped my rank

[obtuse kestrel]

I can but not consistent

[balmy tapir]

sounds like you're exactly same skill lvl as me

[obtuse kestrel]

Idk we can go for a casual match if you’d like?

[balmy tapir]

peaked at gold 2, tryna speedflip but not greakt at it

[manic badge]

Send a clip of it then

[balmy tapir]

I wish

[manic badge]

Even one from a game

[viscid goblet]

I am playing on KBM at the minute, and I am really struggling with what to learn. I am currently dia 2 and I have gotten very consistent at ground play and I am getting better at air play but I am really stuck on what I should be going for at the minute. Can anyone make any suggestions? (I do NOT wanna be seeing "ohhh just switch to controller")

[lyric forum]

Hit the ball

[lyric forum]

Try to train on aerial custom maps

[viscid goblet]

is there any that you can recommend

[lyric forum]

1E1C-CFD2-B115-FF03

[viscid goblet]

are you able to private msg me some so that I can easily find them later when I need them

but eitherway, thanks!

[lyric forum]

Sure

I just dmed you

[viscid goblet]

cheers

[zealous perch]

Just replying to say, kbm is just as viable as controller. Don't let others fool you.

I wish I learned kbm, this game breaks almost every single controller in existence with how often you have to make inputs

[undone sand]

Any low rank interested in coaching dm me

[zealous perch]

are you asking a low rank to coach you

[undone sand]

As funny as that sounds no

[zealous perch]

lmao

[gleaming junco]

Learn heli's and horse dashes, they'll get you to SSL 👍

[viscid goblet]

I'm not trying to get to SSL, I'm trying to get to champ

so maybe try something more in my range

[white sable]

triple reset musty instead

[delicate token]

can anyone help me air dribble

[gleaming junco]

^

[shell thorn]

this was from yesterday and for a diamond I, but it's still very valid.

#gameplay-tips message

let me know if you have any questions!

[karmic coyote]

I am stuck in diamond one I don’t know what to do why I can’t go past that

[high igloo]

You should learn to shoot

[karmic coyote]

I just air dribble the ball or flip reset from the ground I think it’s my positioning is terrible I have good mechs

[shell thorn]

@karmic coyote

[karmic coyote]

Boost addiction is a must

Thankyou

That’s crazy just simple things like that u thought maybe because I’m solo queuing

[cyan sage]

how can your bro be taht trash

[cyan sage]

not to be harsh but you arent good enough at ground play yet

you can reach gc2 with 90% ground play and the only aerial play is when you have to shut down their aerial plays

youll retain so much more boost that way

physics wise its actually so much harder to outplay the offense and succeed on defense by doing aerial plays

[zealous perch]

why is literally every single person here "I'm x rank and i can't rank up but I have good mechs" lol

[cyan sage]

your speed is limited since you have to control the ball in the air and the opposing side can go whenever they want as fast as they want too, aerialy the attacker is always at a disadvantage

you only take aerial plays when youre confident its a ball they cant reach and they have to deal with your shot at point blank range (so usually powerful double taps or when you already have the reset and theyre too late to commit)

[manic badge]

No gamesense and prolly ball chase

[cyan sage]

its not as flashy but its all about being more efficient than the other team

[zealous perch]

I've only been here like 2 days and it genuinely seems like the same person on different accounts, it's getting old lol

[manic badge]

Like for example I got mechs but I don’t complain I can’t rank up because if they were good enough I’d be able to easily carry

And I lack game sense and go for more mech shots than I should

[zealous perch]

also I think like, half the playerbase is younger than 15

[cyan sage]

i reached gc3 at 15

[shrewd canyon]

Ur not gc3 bud

Change that 3 to a 2

[cyan sage]

not on this acc no

my ban is done in 3 more days

[shrewd canyon]

What's the account name

[cyan sage]

then i go back to dropshot grinding

[cyan sage]

Captaine Crunche

i dont have enough games yet

[shrewd canyon]

That account is gc1 lol

[cyan sage]

yea how many ranked games do i have

aside from dropshot cuz i was SSL in it

[shrewd canyon]

In 2s 43

3s 77

[cyan sage]

really?

damn thats teh most rocket league ive played in years

well tbf i did reach 1707 earlier this season

[shrewd canyon]

Then on ur other account u have 100+ in both 2s and 3s and ur gc2 in both

[cyan sage]

half of my gc2 lobbies are mostly gc3-ssl players so its fair to say im gc3 in skill level

in 3s that is

[shrewd canyon]

Ig u r gc3 in dropshot but that's not the same as being gc3 in normal modes

[whole kettle]

Gc3 in dropshot is a lot harder than other modes

[shrewd canyon]

Meh gc2-gc3 players

[cyan sage]

i was top 12 earlier

[cyan sage]

why was alphakep in my 3s lobby then

[shrewd canyon]

He's ass

[cyan sage]

also tenacity, and a couple other SSLs idk

[cyan sage]

blud is 2000 mmr in 2s rn and 1440 in 1s

[shrewd canyon]

Tenacity isn't ssl

[cyan sage]

hess ass my ass

[cyan sage]

not rn he isnt

[shrewd canyon]

He's low gc3

He won't be ssl anytime soon he's not good

[cyan sage]

true dat he was kinda ass

stomped his team

[shrewd canyon]

Idk considering he's 200 mmr ahead of u

[cyan sage]

high 1600 3s gets you ridiculous mmr ranges

my lobbies have varied from 1890 to 1500

and thats solo queues

[shrewd canyon]

Yea 3s qs r weird but u did drop to 1580 so clearly u couldn't handle them

I remember watching tenacitys steam and seeing u lose a bunch lmao

[cyan sage]

nah im just geting good at 2s lol

[shrewd canyon]

Stream

[cyan sage]

my tm8 was selling me

[shrewd canyon]

Mmhmm

Anyways I think u should swap that 3 to a 2

[cyan sage]

nah i play like gc3 some days other days i play like gc2

playing like a gc3 doesnt get you gc3 overnight anyways

[shrewd canyon]

From my experience playing with and against you you're gc2

But you can keep it if u want that's just my opinion

[cyan sage]

when did we play

[shrewd canyon]

We played ranked 2s a while back and we 1v1ed last night

[cyan sage]

i dont recall the 2s but last night i think i did tell u i was nerfed

i smoked a bit too much and could feel my internal organs

[shrewd canyon]

I wasn't playing good either lmao

It was 5am and I was half asleep

[cyan sage]

i was trying nto to panic lol

[shrewd canyon]

The 2s was like a month or 2 ago

I think it was 1 match too then u left lmao

[cyan sage]

oh i was 1500 material back then

it wasnt till recently till i found my groove again

hence the rank climb

[shrewd canyon]

Mmhmm

Anyways do u know how ball chasing.com works

I can't find any replays

[whole kettle]

You can search specific players Epic/Steam code

[raw ruin]

hes perma gc2, gc3 when hes queued with guh

[whole kettle]

Sounds like me except the 'g' part

[raw ruin]

xylo youre down to c2 d2 what happened

[cyan sage]

I'm in c2 purely by hitting the ball really really hard

[whole kettle]

Same as before, I aint played since abt 9am today

[raw ruin]

ahhh

[whole kettle]

Currently 4am and I aint slept in roughly 32 hrs.

Good time to rank up imo

[cyan sage]

oh absolutely!

[whole kettle]

I uploaded a few random replays onto ballchaser if you want to have a look 🙂

[shrewd canyon]

He qs with guh?

[raw ruin]

some times, he mainly plays with bask, cizz, burk

[shrewd canyon]

Aren't they ssl

[whole kettle]

When we going to do the 1800 lobby Brett?

I want my humbling

[raw ruin]

never bc i cant hang in 1800 cas

when did you play the games

[whole kettle]

Who said cas?

They'd be this morning

[shrewd canyon]

What rank r u

[raw ruin]

hes 1900

1900 iq 😉

[shrewd canyon]

Mmhmm

[whole kettle]

Haha, I got maybe 2 brain cells and they're figting for 3rd place

[shrewd canyon]

Why does he want to play with u

[whole kettle]

Im Low ass C2 currently. Hate it in 1200 lobbies

[shrewd canyon]

I see

What region r u

[whole kettle]

EU

[shrewd canyon]

I could maybe help u sometime

I have a c1 div 4 account I want to rank up

[whole kettle]

I dont want a boost tho

[shrewd canyon]

Oh right

What do u want

[whole kettle]

To get better. I dont mind playing with higher lever players on alts as long as they are trying to fit in with the lobby

[shrewd canyon]

Oh if u want to get better just play the game a lot

[whole kettle]

I also really enjoy playing in 1600-1700 lobbies if I get the chance

That's my issue. I play RL like 2-3 weeks every season

I've been on C2 for 4-5 years now probably

[shrewd canyon]

That's bad

[shrewd canyon]

Understandable

A season is like 3 months

[whole kettle]

I've got a GC2 peak

But normally I get my peeks in the fikrst week or 2 of a season

[whole kettle]

Honestly thinking I might have to start ball chasing my ass off to win

[shrewd canyon]

Maybe

[whole kettle]

I've just had 2 free wins

tMy current game isnt over yet but is included in thos 2

[whole kettle]

Love a tm8 who only knows how to cur rotation

[shrewd canyon]

Average c2

[raven violet]

can anyone help me w air dribbling

[whole kettle]

Why I hate the elo

C3 feels so much more fluid

[raw ruin]

its not as awkward

[whole kettle]

My current tm8 likes to push the ball on 0 boost

[shrewd canyon]

U won't be able to keep up in c3 if ur stuck in c2

[raven violet]

does anyone know how to air dribble

[shrewd canyon]

No sorry too hard

[brittle lance]

i do..

[raven violet]

uhhh

could you teach me the air roll part

[brittle lance]

what do you play on

[raven violet]

kbm

[brittle lance]

PERFECT!!

[raven violet]

YIPPEE

[whole kettle]

Ik I got 1350 2 days ago, and yesterday went back down to a nice 1220

[brittle lance]

so wanna go in a call so i can explain

[raven violet]

sure

i can screenshare

[brittle lance]

i thought

we were gonna go into priv match and i can show you

[raven violet]

oh

[whole kettle]

Slowly working my way back up the mmr now tho

[raven violet]

sure thats even better

[brittle lance]

go into dms >:((

[manic badge]

I mean idk, I’m C1 rn and was holding up in GC1 comp games

I was playing well tho tbf. Started playing when I was fully focused/locked in

[whole kettle]

Holding up and keeping a rank are 2 diff things

[manic badge]

Very true

5 games vs 500 games makes a difference

[shrewd canyon]

Mmhmm

[whole kettle]

I can keep up with Mid-High HC2

[manic badge]

It was like 4 or 5 games

[whole kettle]

Not consistent at it tho

[manic badge]

I was just quick, doesn’t mean my tm8 wasn’t doing most of the work

I managed to keep up and score a few

I just played simple instead of useless mechanics

[shrewd canyon]

Lemme see

Scoreboard check at end of game

[whole kettle]

I can get a scoreboard ss from when I was in GC2

Tm8s are getting on my nerves now. Not even doing what @raw ruin showed me is working

[shrewd canyon]

Sure

[shrewd canyon]

I can hop on my Smurf and q a couple if u want

[whole kettle]

Sure, guess we can see if I am the problem

[shrewd canyon]

Alr

[whole kettle]

I probably am tho tbh

I prefer to miss open nets than scoreing them

[shrewd canyon]

What's ur epic

[whole kettle]

Mr.Xyl0

Gotta do a PC restart rq

[cyan sage]

do not que with him

[shrewd canyon]

Hey

[cyan sage]

just a freidnly warning yk

[shrewd canyon]

Don't tell him I'm gold pls

[shrewd canyon]

Added!

[whole kettle]

Coming back now

[whole kettle]

My ranks already shot

[cyan sage]

[cyan sage]

anyone can coach me? i have around 1300 hours yet i’m no better then a d2 and i don’t have mic dm or ping me

[dusk badger]

just wanted to ask are other regions easier to play on because when I’m in Middle East servers my plat opponents seriously play so much better, but I recently joined a few games with people from different regions like eu, the plat lobbies were SIGNIFICANTLY worse. And because of that I went from plat 2 to plat 3 in around 30 mins.

[cyan sage]

since no one coaching anyone down to 1v1 any rank

im diamond

[zinc root]

ok make a priv match

[cyan sage]

dm

[wheat wagon]

free tip for anyone in diamond,learning like a single touch ground to airdribbles not a wall or bounce to airdribble can allow you to go past two opponents where a flick would pass over one.

[high igloo]

That’s probably not the greatest thing to be doing

[sturdy forge]

Can u not just learn off of tutorials on yt

[manic badge]

No matter how hard I try, they don’t make sense

[shell thorn]

silver II

silver is just learning the fundamentals of rocket league.

basic ball control: focus on hitting the ball consistently and accurately where you want it to go. take time in freeplay to work on getting solid hits and aiming your shots to the goal.

positioning: avoid crowding the ball, give your teammate some space and don't chase/rush in. it will also help you avoid double committing.

rotations: start learning basic rotations by moving back to the goal when you're not actively hitting the ball. this also gives room for teammates to make plays.

boost awareness: start working on getting small pads and managing your boost. don't instantly use it, and don't always leave the play to get a big boost.

let me know if you have any questions or want any elaborations.

[balmy tapir]

I'm assuming some of this applies to gold?

still working on not goin to the other side of the field for big boost 😭

[sturdy forge]

absolute unit of a paragragh

[high igloo]

Waffle

[obtuse kestrel]

What

[high igloo]

Why can’t you get back to gold

[obtuse kestrel]

Cuz I’m too busy saving goals from my own teammates. Or trying to not get scored on by someone doing a double flip reset musty

[wind quiver]

i can team up

i was on gold during covid

started out again

[obtuse kestrel]

Sure

My user is

Hasanzzcool

Friend me

[abstract sentinel]

Yo any one looking for a duo that’s at least peak c2

[hazy hamlet]

anyone coach? for free?

[obtuse kestrel]

Anyone help me get to silver? Teammate needed

[edgy ledge]

If you're below gold the best teacher will always be experience. You just need to take your time and familiarize yourself with the controls

I'd also turn off camerashake and change your camera settings to something you feel comfortable with

[obtuse kestrel]

I have more than a 100 Hours and can basic dribble, and do some basic mechs like half flips

The reason I’m stuck is cuz of bad teammates and Smurfs

[edgy ledge]

Take your time as in dont rush the ball

[obtuse kestrel]

I can power shot.

[edgy ledge]

No offense but finding smurfs in Bronze is harder then finding a legit ssl

[edgy ledge]

dont matter dont just charge the ball

[obtuse kestrel]

Ur not even getting me

I have all the advice and stuff but I need a teammate who doesn’t own goal or save the shot for the other team

[edgy ledge]

In that case you're going to be waiting a while. There are less bronzes in the game then ssl's. But good luck anyways

[edgy ledge]

maybe what rank and region?

[shell moss]

hardstuck c3 feel like i got solid rotations super good recoveries good mechs i jus dk what to work on anymore help pls

[edgy ledge]

Hey if you want you can send over a replay and I can see if I can spot anything. No promises though im not much higher then you

[shell moss]

not sure if i have the setting where replays are saved but my clipping app records every game

[edgy ledge]

the new match history lets you save games after theyre finished

[shell moss]

gotcha

[lyric forum]

How does one manage to be bronze and be stuck and has 100 hours

[obtuse kestrel]

Teammates dawg.

[lyric forum]

Play 1s

[obtuse kestrel]

Silver 2 in ones

[lyric forum]

Then find tm8s that are "good" in bronze

Gl ig

[willow blade]

yo mb bbro

didn't mean to decline friend req

[lyric forum]

Dw

[random linden]

do this for diamond trust

[random linden]

js carry if u that good

[obtuse kestrel]

Carrying would be easy if my teammates stopped ballchasing all around the map and start taking the ball everytime I have possession

[random linden]

then defend. if u that much aove them you should be able to save all the shots the other team puts off.

[zinc root]

anyone 1v1 eu

[obtuse kestrel]

Hmmm

That’s actually good advice Icl

[shell thorn]

[obtuse kestrel]

Fast aerial I can do

[balmy meadow]

[obtuse kestrel]

Flick and air dribbles I’m currently learning

Search the file location on google cause I'm not sure the one I gave you is right

[ember hare]

alr

[shell thorn]

considering the last pin here was 2 years ago...

[fathom spindle]

coaching in this game is the biggest scam

[shell thorn]

why do you say that?

[sour coyote]

Yeah why

[fathom spindle]

i seen people charge 15- 20$ an hour

[sour coyote]

Well I’ve been doing free coaching since the beginning of October, and put it in gameplay tips everyday

[shell thorn]

i understand that, but in all fairness, you can't really judge the operation as a whole, but just use an example of select people, if that makes sense.

[fathom spindle]

thats an absurd price if you ask maybe 5$. and theres no guarantree you even see results so you basically spend money and hope its helped you. personally i think if you need to get good at the game i woud just watch tons of videos and tutorials

[shell thorn]

i agree

[paper wigeon]

People asking for living wages for their work is crazy apparently, got it lol

Not that I charge anyone, but still

[fathom spindle]

i mean its just talking to someone about a free game. youre essentially paying more for coaching than you spent on the entire game

[paper wigeon]

Most skills have an extremely low bar to entry. Drawing, singing, etc. But you don't see anyone complain that someone went to get a vocal coach.

[balmy tapir]

I mean, people pay for it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[fathom spindle]

theres not a single tip that a coach can give you that hasnt been put in a youtube video by a pro or other high level content creators.

[balmy tapir]

people value coaching at 15$ an hour, so it doesn't make sense to do it for less

esp considering so many people want coaching

that's an economics thing honestly

[fathom spindle]

i mean you can work at mcdonalds for 15$ an hour and youre doing 10x more work. at least with singing you can eventually develop a good voice and may become a professional singer

[paper wigeon]

Yea but that's just it, I could find everyting to know about vocal technique on yt too, but I would have no idea what actually applies to me. I'd need someone to actually hear me sing to know wtf I'm doing because I don't know what I'm doing

[balmy tapir]

👆🏻

[fathom spindle]

yeah i get that but what dop i gain with a coach for rocket league

i dont get anytrhing i return except a virtual rank increase

no money no income nothing

[paper wigeon]

McDonalds is not 15 an hour here, more like 7. But either way that doesn't really matter, it's something people do for supplemental income because it's fun, not because they think it's a genuine career path, like uber for example

[fathom spindle]

and that virutal rank increase isnt even guaranteed

[fathom spindle]

depeends on state. in illinois its 15$ i used to work there

[paper wigeon]

And? People with disposable income are willing to spend on their hobbies. You odn't get anything buying a new poster either, but they like it and they have the cash, so who cares?

[balmy tapir]

I mean people are paying for it so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[balmy tapir]

this is fax

do you realize how much racing costs

[fathom spindle]

which is why nits a scam people think its helping them but its virtually doing nothing

[balmy tapir]

most of the people do it for fun, they don't make money

[fathom spindle]

props to the free coaches

[balmy tapir]

if they value videogames over other things that's not the coach's fault

[balmy tapir]

imo I don't want to make money off of coaching but it's completely fair to

[fathom spindle]

the people that charge are the scammers since vulnerable people especially children think if they spend money they will become better

while they essentially can spend absolutely nothing and still get better

[vale portal]

Dawg I Js did my first placement match for 3s and my teammates sucked so bad

We won but literally only cus of me

And I'm not js saying that cus one was unranked and one was literally bronze 1

[balmy tapir]

that isn't scamming

[vale portal]

Haven't seen a legitimate bronze player is so long if ever

[balmy tapir]

isn't it hte same with baseball and other sport coaches?

[paper wigeon]

Idk I think their's some value in a good coach when it comes to improving. I don't think many people are intentionally scamming kids. I understand you don't see the value in it, and that's fine, but this game is a skill like any other, and yes you can be the best simply playing for 20k hours, but there's a reason every pro team has a coach, they aren't just moral support

[fathom spindle]

i mean sure except again most people i know dont pay for a sports coach they get them for free while in school or college\

[balmy tapir]

just because you don't value it doesn't mean others can't or it's a scam to make others value it

[hot glade]

Hi I need a coach

[vale portal]

Also anyone tryna help me either rank up in 2s or help me get a save and an assist in 4 games plss? it's so hard to get an assist and a save for some reason

[balmy tapir]

aren't there literal rocket league professionals

esports is becoming a big thing now

[hot glade]

I am head stuck in gold 2

Hard

[balmy tapir]

rotations

[vale portal]

Valer, you tryna play w me?

[balmy tapir]

just started learning them in gold 2 and they're insane helpful

[fathom spindle]

yep and not a single pro i know pays the coach

the org does

[balmy tapir]

that's not the point

like

people will pay to get better at rocket league

[vale portal]

Valerplayer

[balmy tapir]

even if they know they won't get anything out of it

so

[fathom spindle]

yea thats why i think its scam

[balmy tapir]

it's not a scam if both parties are happy with the transaction

[fathom spindle]

like if i wanted to get better at drawing simply from a hobbie and not for a professional job i woudlnt go to college for it

[balmy tapir]

that's like the definition of not a scam

a scam means deceiving or tricking somebody out of money

[vale portal]

Annih or derp, y'all tryna help me w the save and assist challenge for haunted hallows? I Js need 4 for games

[fathom spindle]

uh no not how that works

[balmy tapir]

they know exactly what they're buying

[balmy tapir]

bro then explain your reasoning to me

[fathom spindle]

if lets say someone is happy with buying nfts that doesnt mean they werent scammed

thats actually the point of scamming is tricking people into believing its not

[balmy tapir]

correct

I do think people pay too much for coaching but

they don't and they're willing to pay 15$ for coaching

if someone accepts that that doesn't mean they're scamming someone

for example

[vale portal]

Nfts are Js dumb to pay a lot for tbh cus it's js an online image that anyone can js use

[white sable]

It’s a scam if it’s misleading, if they know what they buying it’s not a scam

[balmy tapir]

if I say, "I will give you 100$ for your dirty sock", and you say "yes", you aren't scamming me, you're just accepting my offer

[white sable]

Might not be a good purchase but still not a scam

[balmy tapir]

^^^^^^^^^^^

[balmy tapir]

eaxctly!

[fathom spindle]

you literally just explained a scam. becuas eif someone sold it for 1$ then you were scammed

[balmy tapir]

no

if I said I would sell you a 100$ sock from micheal jordan, and it wasn't from micheal jordan, I would be scamming

[paper wigeon]

As far as I'm concerned there are games where coaching is genuinely useless, but Rocket League isn't one of them. I'm not going to speak to the quality on the info that you recieve from random people on the internet, but

[balmy tapir]

some deception is required for scamming someone

[fathom spindle]

if someone was selling ps5s for 1000$ they are scasmming people even if the people know its overpriced

[balmy tapir]

no

[fathom spindle]

yes

[restive granite]

No

[balmy tapir]

they're ripping people off but not scamming them

they know what they're buying

[restive granite]

There isnt any fake info given

[fathom spindle]

the literal definiton of scam is a dishonest scheme or fraud. thats

[balmy tapir]

^

[white sable]

It’s not fraud if they are aware of what they are buying

[balmy tapir]

^^^

[alpine peak]

Is anyone willing to coach me I am on nintendo and am silver

[balmy tapir]

this

[fathom spindle]

trying to rip people off is a scam you cant find one source that says its not

[balmy tapir]

no

[vale portal]

A scam is when smth is false advertised, worth more than it should be for what it is/does, or when you expect to get a certain amount of smth and its less ghan what you were expecting

[balmy tapir]

imma find the definition of scam hang on

[fathom spindle]

you just agreed with me

[paper wigeon]

Scalping isn't a scam, at least not by definition. It's not particularly nice, but that's beyond the point.

[balmy tapir]

definition of scam "a dishonest scheme; a fraud"

[fathom spindle]

its worth more than it should be

[balmy tapir]

a bad deal isn't necesarily dishonest

[vale portal]

I can try cus I'm also I'm switch

[balmy tapir]

it's a bad deal, but not dishonest

see

[fathom spindle]

ok by all of yalls definitions nfts and most cryptos arent scams

were just going to have to agree to disagree

[vale portal]

Honestly, Idk who I'm agreeing with cus I Js see y'all arguing about what is defined as a scam so I put my input

[balmy tapir]

they're rip offs but not scams

not dishonest

[fathom spindle]

again i think thats synonmous but agree to disagree

[balmy tapir]

by definition, a scam has to be dishonest

lemme find the definition of ripoff rq

[paper wigeon]

They aren't in of themselves. They are when the holder introduces it as a way of making money, or gives it some relative monitary value. But simply selling an NFT is not a scam. You didn't try to dupe them. They could have easily found the information reguarding it.

[vale portal]

Are y'all arguing about if paying to get coaching in rl is a scam?

[balmy tapir]

yes

sort of

but also not

[fathom spindle]

again were going to agree to disgagree here

[balmy tapir]

no, you're not agreeing on the definition of scam

[vale portal]

If you get scammed by an RL coach, that's on you for not doing much research or whatever on them

[alpine peak]

When can you

[balmy tapir]

you think a scam is just a bad deal,

[balmy tapir]

^^^^

[white sable]

Try to focus more on positioning yourself better on the field. In your games when you get scored on try to think of how you positioned incorrectly that led to it.

Generally in 2s it’s either

1. You made a bad challenge and left your tm8 in a bad position
2. You were last one back and pushed for the ball instead of defending

[vale portal]

Idk cus my cat's on me and I'm sideways rn and it's hard to use my phone and switch at the same time while like this

[fathom spindle]

this is just something that comnpletely undermines victims of scams

[paper wigeon]

I agree with your point that it's "not nice" behaviour. Either way I can't really compare RL coaches that are genuinely trying to provide good information to a literal scam where you pay for nothing, because at the very least you paid for the guys time and he showed, unless you agreed on certain things before hand he did fulfill what he said he would.

[balmy tapir]

no it's not

[tame yew]

any tips for completely falling off the ball after getting a reset? i find it hard to do anything after the reset

[fathom spindle]

if a person says my coaching will make you improve and you dont improve you have been scammed. but again its just an opinion here and youre free to disagree

[white sable]

Champ dude unsent thought I was trippin

[paper wigeon]

Yea I mean, if he promises something and does not deliver for sure, but most around here don't make any such claim. So.

[cyan sage]

ok thank you

[vale summit]

Hey everyone! Im a c2 div 3 player, I feel like I'm consistently at a higher level despite where I play, Generally that means that its my positioning however i feel as though my positioning is decent enough, if anyone wants to help lmk

[fathom spindle]

zero evidence if its most as this literally happened to my friend which is anecdotal but doesnt chnage the fact why i think some coaches are scammers

[vale portal]

There's also a difference between actually being scammed and saying you got scammed for not learning even tho you're the one who js can't commit or won't try to learn

[fathom spindle]

completely subjective tbh there can be bad coaches who will charge

[white sable]

Try to focus more on positioning yourself better on the field. In your games when you get scored on try to think of how you positioned incorrectly that led to it.

Generally in 2s it’s either

1. You made a bad challenge and left your tm8 in a bad position
2. You were last one back and pushed for the ball instead of defending

[vale portal]

That's kinda included with actually being scammed

[paper wigeon]

Scammers are everywhere, no doubt about it. What I have issue with is taking your one experience and applying it over every coach you now see. I've been in this community for years, and I don't think that the majority of people are out to get people.

[fathom spindle]

i can help just give me 15$ and ill get you out of champ in no time!

^^see how absolutely insane this sounds?

[paper wigeon]

Sounds like he's offering a carry not a coaching session LOL

[fathom spindle]

exactly rule number one in scamming decieve the target

[vale portal]

Honestly, the argument about rl coaching scams is js dependant on how you choose the coach, if the coach is actually trying to scam by not doing anything to help you, if the coach is trying to be a good coach but Js ain't a good one, a coach that is trying to help but overcharges, and if the coach is trying to scam and pretends to help but offers bad advice

[paper wigeon]

As far as I can remember the largest body when it comes to coaching in this game is RLCD, where literally thousands of people give coaching absolutely free. I think there are more coaches working hard in there then there are coaches everywhere else combined. So put that into perspective I suppose.

[fathom spindle]

like i siad earlier shoutout to all the free coaches

[vale portal]

Is that a discord server?

[paper wigeon]

Mhm, I'm not sure if it was closed up or not. It's been around for at least 7+ years now.

[vale portal]

Igh

Do you think you could try and give me the link or smth so I can join it pls?

[paper wigeon]

Dms

[vale portal]

Been years since I checked in on there. But it's still got like 30k members or something it seems.

[balmy tapir]

what I'm saying

[vale portal]

Thx

[toxic marsh]

Anyone want to help me get better at the Ariel goals

[pliant charm]

any lower ranked players want to play hit me up in dms

[shell thorn]

🧜‍♀️

[viral bay]

Practice aerial control and efficient boosting then do aerial shot training packs 👍

[toxic marsh]

That's kinda hard

[viral bay]

Which is hard? I named 3 things lol

[toxic marsh]

Like i keep my nose downward not upwards

[viral bay]

Then do the opposite

[toxic marsh]

How???

[viral bay]

That’s the point of practice

[toxic marsh]

Um ok

[viral bay]

By literally doing the opposite

[toxic marsh]

Alrighty

[viral bay]

If pushing left makes you go left but you wanted to go right youd push right

Same for up and down

😭🙏

[toxic marsh]

I use L1 and joystick

No r1

[pliant charm]

what rank is the one asking for aerial practice

[paper wigeon]

Jump, push down on analog stick or S on KB. Nose of your car will point up. Then just hold boost.

[toxic marsh]

Plat

[viral bay]

If you cant shoot in the air yet normally you shouldnt be using air roll

Learn to do it without air roll first

Efficiently

[pliant charm]

hmm

[toxic marsh]

Even tho i was hard stuck gold silver

I just can't get pass d1

[cyan sage]

ok so i just did this and now i is dianomd 1 ??!?

[shell thorn]

let's go!

[cyan sage]

the people here are flying though

[viral bay]

Yeah that starts to happen lol

[cyan sage]

where can I switch on aeroplane mode

i wanna fly too

[toxic marsh]

Ill try

[viral bay]

Well are you playing 1s or 2s or 3s?

[cyan sage]

2v2

[toxic marsh]

I play more 3's than 2's and 1's

[cyan sage]

i dont like 1v1 because i cant blame my teammate 🤣

[viral bay]

That will definitely hold you back

[viral bay]

You should try implementing 1s into your gameplay more

[toxic marsh]

However i don't understand 2's rank yet

[viral bay]

It can drastically increase your efficiency and value as a player

[pliant charm]

yeah i main ones becuase it represents my real skill and no one can slow me down without me being able to demo them

[cyan sage]

I heard that it can help improve my shadow defence and improve my 50v50s and improve decsion making so dont early challenge and overcomit

[viral bay]

1s will help you improve on mostly everything

Except obviously a select few things like team play and rotating and playing off challenges

[vale portal]

Hey can someone that's like champ come and watch me do/attempt air dribbles and other stuff cus I feel like I've gotten a lot better at going off the wall and making the ball go in

[viral bay]

Apart from that 1s is the most efficient queue to improve

[cyan sage]

yea then custom training

[shell thorn]

"queue"

[viral bay]

Bruh

Im tired lmao

[paper wigeon]

I mean I can take a look if you want. Dk what exactly I'll be able to provide that's useful but.

[last matrix]

I have 370 hours and I'm in silver

Weird

I have to be plat

[viral bay]

Nothing to be ashamed of everyone gets better at different paces

[proud owl]

3s makes you better at 2s and 2s makes you worse at 3s
Idk that's just my experience

[shell thorn]

game sense will be your friend here.

[last matrix]

Ik

I'm very smart at my games

[paper wigeon]

Literally meaningless

[viral bay]

Just depends how you translate it into each game

[last matrix]

Bruh

I have the worst tm8s in the world

My teammates block my shots

[paper wigeon]

Yea, they're all silver. That's kinda how it works.

[proud owl]

You're probably the same is them lmao

[last matrix]

Nah

They block my shots

[proud owl]

If you weren't you'd be higher 🤷‍♂️

[shell thorn]

typical silver occurrence

[vale portal]

Prolly controlling my car in the air better. Like for redirects or for hitting the ball down/up with the side of the car or smth

[paper wigeon]

Shoot me a DM I can have a look.

[vale portal]

If you got snap, I could send you some clips of me hitting some good double taps and stuff

[dull vessel]

any tips to get out of plat? i can wavedash, half flip , power shot , fast aerial and i can do some basic flicks

[viral bay]

Vod review

[vale portal]

I would say work on ground dribbling and faking

[dull vessel]

i can ground dribble pretty good

[viral bay]

You should vod review

[dull vessel]

i can also bounce dribble

[viral bay]

Bc Im 80% sure you don’t vod review

[shell thorn]

this is from earlier.

#gameplay-tips message

let me know if you have any questions.

[dire scroll]

Need advice, is octane or fennec more popular?

[viral bay]

Popular throughout the whole game octane

Currently more used by pros fennec I believe

[shell thorn]

really?

[viral bay]

Not statistically, Im not a knowledge bank. I could very well be wrong

But from what Im aware of fennec is more used

Among pros

[dull vessel]

how do i practice backboard defence? are there training packs for it?

[rugged yew]

How do I get to plat I’m so mechs but I just can’t

[viral bay]

Backboard therapy is a great place to start

[dull vessel]

alr ty

[rugged yew]

I’m hardstuck for 4 years

[shell thorn]

yea, there are a few training packs you could do.

[shell thorn]

@rugged yew

[viral bay]

In?

[shell thorn]

unless specified, i would always assume 2s.

[dull vessel]

im on my rank up game to get plat rn

[viral bay]

I meant rank wise lol

[rugged yew]

GOLD 😭

[viral bay]

Oop.

[shell thorn]

ah, his message is a few above.

[rugged yew]

@viral bay gold

[viral bay]

Ohh

I didn’t even see it I just saw the hardstuck one lol

[shell thorn]

oh, ok. i guess i didn't realize, but it makes sense.

[shell thorn]

lolll, all good

[shell thorn]

i believe!

[viral bay]

Yeah due to the car being boxy it portrays the actual hitbox more accurately.

Also it being “wider” in looks makes it appear to spin slightly slower which gives many players an induced feeling of more control

@shell thorn ^

I personally use both the fennec and the octane just depends how Im feeling in the moment

[shell thorn]

if you look at your before pings, there's a message of tips for a platinum, which is still valid.

[shell thorn]

true, i prefer octane over fennec if i were to choose, but it may just be because of more usage.

personally though, jurassic jeep wrangler

[viral bay]

😭

[viral bay]

I think I use octane more

The slimmer look makes me feel a little faster sometimes

Even though ik its just placebo

[white sable]

Feel like octane is lighter and agile while fennec is more heavy and powerful

[shell thorn]

true

[dull vessel]

i lost 2-1

i scored 1 goal and saved 2 shots

my teammate didnt do anything

[shell thorn]

go next

[dull vessel]

I GOT -18 MMR AND HE GOT -9

[zinc hollow]

can someone help me with bakkesmod

[dull vessel]

BRO WHAT

[shell thorn]

what do you need help with?

[zinc hollow]

dm

[dull vessel]

bro my teammmate letf and i 1v2d

i won in ot

[fallow sundial]

how do i 360 spin all the way?

i can barely do it

[shell thorn]

(resolved)

[pale bluff]

Can someone help me get good I'm a beginner

Pls

Do pepol help

[balmy tapir]

yes

for a beginner, the best advice anyone can give is just to play the game

you need to learn to just hit the ball and basic movements, how to flip, and stuff before anyone can give very definitive things to improve on and all

[dull vessel]

YOOO I HIT PLAT LETS GOOOOOO

[balmy tapir]

for me, I played the bots until I could beat the all-start and unfair modes, then I started playing online

[gritty sonnet]

what would the best time to stop playing ranked be

[dull vessel]

when ur tilting

[white sable]

if you feel like you playing bad or you lose 2-3 games in a row probably a sign you should hop off

even if you think you playin ok if you lose 2-3 in a row you probably not playing the greatest at that time

[gritty sonnet]

if you have a wins streak (lets 3 or more) should i stop after i lose one

[white sable]

i mean if you have a win streak might as well keep it going if you playing well

[shell thorn]

congrats!!

[white sable]

i would say 2 in a row is a good general rule, if you have a win streak and only lose 1 it could just be a bad game but if you lose 2+ probably stop for a bit

[gritty sonnet]

bc i always stop after one loss if i have more than a 3 wins streak

[white sable]

1 loss can just be a bad game, could just be bad chemistry with tm8 or unlucky bounces etc so i feel like you don't gotta end off after 1

[warped pivot]

i need help with gamesense

[gritty sonnet]

ok

[gritty sonnet]

with what, be more specifik

[warped pivot]

like positioning

[gritty sonnet]

be even more specifik what do you think you lack in that field

[sturdy delta]

I need help with aireal

Aerial

[gritty sonnet]

that is just training

[sturdy delta]

And I'm stuck in gold

[warped pivot]

i just dont know where to be on the field'

[sturdy delta]

For 2 years

[gritty sonnet]

its not that bad

[sturdy delta]

It is

[gritty sonnet]

that is the whole positioning field but okay

[gritty sonnet]

what rank are you?

[warped pivot]

c2

[gritty sonnet]

i know a guy that was stuck in silver for 2 years

[sturdy delta]

How do I train with what?

[gritty sonnet]

are you PC?

[gritty sonnet]

are you pc?

[warped pivot]

ye

[sturdy delta]

Nop

[white sable]

if you playing 2s there are generally 2 roles at any time, 1 person pressures the ball and the other person plays a bit safer to get the ball after it gets hit

[gritty sonnet]

then either training packs or go around flying in free play

[sturdy delta]

K tysm

[gritty sonnet]

can you send a replay

[warped pivot]

idk how

[gritty sonnet]

save a replay and send the file of the replay

[gritty sonnet]

that is the generally tip

[gritty sonnet]

tho send it in dms

[neat narwhal]

🚁

[sturdy delta]

BTW

Is there anyway I can install workshops on ps5 via USB?

[placid zenith]

Does anyone gold and below need training

It’s free

[sturdy delta]

[pliant charm]

looking for silver2 to plat1 to play with

[undone patrol]

Okay so let me give you a rundown, I've been hardstuck high Diamond 3 for the better part of 10 months. Recently last weekend something changed and I just skyrocketed up to high Champ 2 in 2 days, and I kept that ranked during the week when I played and it was just win, lose, win, lose, etc. and now the last 3 days I've deranked from Champ 2 back into mid Champ 1 and still losing why?

[shell thorn]

nice

[undone patrol]

read the last part

[zealous perch]

thats how getting better at the game works ya

[shell thorn]

yea, i mean, that's how it goes.

[undone patrol]

yeah I got better for a moment but now I'm just deranking

Also I know what my mistakes are and I'm trying to fix them

[trim zenith]

can someone higher rank than diamond 2 give me some tips to improve?

[zealous perch]

or just got lucky with teammates. Its happened to me more than once

[undone patrol]

50/50

[zealous perch]

hit ball into net, dont let ball into your net, that'll be $15 i accept paypal

[trim zenith]

wow ty som much

[trim zenith]

i dont have paypal

[shell thorn]

it is super common to experience rank drop after a big jump, to be fair. up and down is how it is in ranked.

as you played at that level, you probably were facing opponents consistently better than you, but were able to get a couple of wins with "luck," to some extent. it's easy to second-guess yourself there, and small mistakes can be the difference.

focus on maintaining consistency, stick to what got you there in the first place. avoid overextending or trying to do too much, essentially.

taking breaks after a few losses and analyzing relays will help you a lot.

[pliant charm]

yo lower ranks like silver to plat want to play?

dmz

[proud fern]

[somber iris]

Anyone got any ideas I’ve been stuck in diamond and very low champ for 2 years and idk how to get out

[shell thorn]

champion II

1v1s are good, keep using them to focus on refining core skills. e.g., flicks, bounce dribbles, and recoveries.

consistent positioning and rotations: try to minimize over-commitment as much as possible. stay back and support (passive) rather than pushing up too aggressively and risking things, such as double commits or eventual defensive "breakdowns."

adapted playstyle: considering your coming back from a break, gameplay will feel different. stick to controlled, grounded playstyle, avoid panic touches, and improve your reads as much as possible. there's no need for fancy mechanics at this point. your friends are flicks,
basic air dribbles, and backboard plays.

replay analysis: watch replays and identify mistakes in rotations or mechanics, especially defensively. point then out, and think about how you could fix them or what you could've done better. look where better positioning could've been the difference. also, a tip, notice when you're passed the ball, and have left your teammate in a 1v2 or 1v1. this means you've overcommitted.

mindset: take breaks if you start to tilt, and as a general rule, focus on enjoying the grind. ranking up will take a long time, so focus on setting small goals (like improving on specific mechanics or game sense areas individually).

let me know if you have any questions!
