can I get coached

?

[raw ruin]

helping anyone w coaching or mechs dm

[vapid spear]

Do you guys have any ways or good maps to get better and rank up faster in?

[raw ruin]

freeplay not unlimited boost, practice keeping pase and hitting ball hard. wrap out get small pads and rehit the ball

@vapid spear

[lucid parrot]

anyone got some tips on how to deal with the opponents corner and my corner?

[raw ruin]

your corner is safe to push into it rather wrap out wide and back post so you can face the ball instead trying to challenge them in the corner @lucid parrot

[fierce sedge]

can I get coached

?

im s2 in 1s b3 in 2s unranked in 3s

[shell thorn]

champion III dropshot

control: work on controlled touches to maintain possession when needed rather than just booming it away to the opponents. also know when to have powerful hits to damage tiles.

positioning (around damaged tiles): stay aware of where the damage is, both on your side and the opponents. aim to be near vulnerable areas in order to create scoring opportunities.

rotation and spacing: efficient rotations are key in dropshot. avoid crowding your teammates, and instead rotate to space and that will help you defensively. keep a wider spread to avoid double commits and cover more ground in general.

bounce reading: the walls make unusual touches, so learn to read them. utilizing your knowledge of how to read the bounces will help you tremendously.

maintain ball "charge": when the ball is in level 2 or 3, look for opportunities for it to hit your side quickly, as to prevent your opponent from getting it.

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

[fierce sedge]

can i gat coached

[raw ruin]

you just need play time

[shell thorn]

😭

[fierce sedge]

can i get coached

actually

[zealous perch]

what rank are you lol

oh sorry you already said it above

yeah if you're silver, the best thing for you to do is "play the game"

[mild shuttle]

anyone got tips, im c1 div 1 and cant seem to win, im boutta derank to diamond

[whole kettle]

How does one get this

[zinc mountain]

Is there anyone that teaches people mechs or can help people get mechy??

[whole kettle]

Honestly, i’m doing the same but the only real way to get better at mechanics is practise/training

[zinc mountain]

Wdym doing the same

[austere trench]

What is B3 in 2's

[zealous perch]

Bilver 3

[dull vessel]

Buper bonic begend

[mild shuttle]

bot 3

[austere trench]

AHA

[wicked torrent]

yo

[shrewd matrix]

U can shortcut some mechs a bit by getting told the proper tips

[hallow cave]

looking for some tips in the game someone who can coach me

[shrewd matrix]

Tho you need to understand physics for some explanations or have the car control needed down already

[shrewd matrix]

Rank?

[hallow cave]

Diamond 2

Hit champ like 3 seaons ago but been hard stuck

[shrewd matrix]

The only offensive mech you should train is shooting then

Being hardstuck means you either arent playing enough or you are wasting time that should be spend on improvement

Or just improving inefficiently

So take a skill like shooting and get actually insane at it

[hallow cave]

Wanna vc

[cold pecan]

who needs tm8

d3 here

[shell thorn]

this was aimed at a champion 2, but still valid.

#gameplay-tips message

let me know if you have any questions.

[zenith minnow]

Can someone get me out of plat

[high igloo]

Do it yourself lazy 😒

[zenith minnow]

I’m div 3 but I was d3 before I quit and I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong

Could someone just play cas with me and see if they notice anything?

[livid hinge]

im silver 1 in 2s (I NEED COACHH)

[lilac condor]

Do you guys use different directional air roll depending on which side of the wall your going off, or do you use the same directional air roll for both walls? \

[lilac condor]

how much hrs u got?

[manic badge]

What’s the quickest way to lvl up a new account to level 20

[livid hinge]

I forgot

[lilac condor]

roughly

[manic badge]

No u don’t need a coach. Coaches can’t help if u can’t even hit the ball

Watch YT smh

[livid hinge]

I will go check

[lilac condor]

probably do all the xp challenges we got 3 weeks of challenges. just do all the easy XP ones

[fiery pier]

If you play 2s stop crying when your tm8 complains about you playing like 💩

[lilac condor]

nvm i forgor xp is for premium

[lilac condor]

me fr

[supple lion]

Hello fellas, can someone tell me if this is the real speed flip or not because i am on kbm.

[lilac condor]

usually u can get to like gold III without even touching free play.

[manic badge]

Bruh I’m trynna run ranked on it today 😭

[fiery pier]

Hard locked diamond 2 used to be champ 1 need a coach

[lilac condor]

KBM on top

[supple lion]

I can't send a video here ?

[supple lion]

I like it tbh ^^.

[manic badge]

I made the mistake of half trying in casual n now I’m against champs so I can’t even grind goals

[fiery pier]

No, the mods in this discord think its 1945

[supple lion]

Where can i send it so you guys can give me feedback ?

[fiery pier]

No where, we dont want to see it

[supple lion]

If you don't, then that's fine.

[manic badge]

Bro js use the musty training pack. If u hit the ball u did a speedflip, if not, then u didn’t

[lilac condor]

r/rocketleagueschool is your best bet

[supple lion]

But i'd love to have some feedback from others.

[fiery pier]

No one does. You are one of thousands of rocket league players, no one cares.

No one is going to sit and rate a silver 2's speed flip attempt.

[manic badge]

No point in feedback if you’re doing it or not

Atleast attempt to see if u can hit the ball in the training pack

No one below Plat can proper speedflip

[supple lion]

I am diam 3.

[manic badge]

Plats and diamond only like 10% of players can actually do it but they’re not consistent

[supple lion]

I can't hit the ball in the training pack so i need to know what i am doing wrong.

[lilac condor]

theres a good tutorial for KBM speed flips ill try to find it

[manic badge]

Watch a YT video and see what you’re doing wrong compared to them

[supple lion]

Thank you for actually trying to help.

[supple lion]

The problem is i do the same exact thing. (i think)

[carmine hazel]

do yall think getting gc in like dropshot or smthn is easy compared to the normal modes

[lilac condor]

youtuber is ksy5 @supple lion "the best way to speedflip..."

[manic badge]

No u don’t 🤦‍♂️

If u did the ‘exact same’ you’d be speedflipping

[supple lion]

True.

[manic badge]

Your timing would be off or when u actually go for the speedflip would be off

Maybe even the cancel on the flip might be miss timed. Don’t go around telling everyone you’re doing nothing wrong if u can’t even get the speedflip 🤦‍♂️

[supple lion]

I know something is wrong that is why i came here.

😅

[manic badge]

U legit js said you’re doing it the exact same

Your words not mine

[livid hinge]

40 hrs

[supple lion]

Yeah by slowing the video and looking at what i did.

[manic badge]

Hit the ball and you’ll rank up

[livid hinge]

shut it

[manic badge]

I’m not even lying

[lilac condor]

nah he aint lying

[manic badge]

No silver player can hit the ball 100% of the time

[lilac condor]

just enjoy the game if you only at 40 hr

[manic badge]

If u learn to hit the ball everytime and hit it to where u want it to go, then you’ll rank up

Why is everyone so up themselves in lower ranks smh

[fallow sundial]

how do i 360 dribble i just cant get it

[livid hinge]

mb im bronze 3 div3💀

[manic badge]

YT prolly your best bet

[manic badge]

Bronze 3 Div 3 trynna tell a champ that they’re wrong and to shut up?

Crazy.

[fallow sundial]

yt videos?

[lilac condor]

nvmed retire youre cooked 💀

[livid hinge]

gold in 3s

[manic badge]

You’d be getting carried

No ones stuck in bronze 3 but gold in another rank without being carried

[lilac condor]

Gameplay-tips: get good, watch youtube, skill issue.

[digital rover]

can anyone help with learning/hitting double/triple dashes

[lilac condor]

pinned also got a lot of cool resources

[high igloo]

The modes are very different

[manic badge]

No way that’s crazy

He’d be getting carried if he can’t even get out of bronze in 2’s

[versed topaz]

im bronze 1 in 1s ;-;

modes are very different fr

[manic badge]

Bronze 1 is intentional lmao

[versed topaz]

nah bru

i cant hit the ball 😭

im spinning in circles like a bot

[manic badge]

Member since 2022, yeah ur way better than bronze lmao

[versed topaz]

nahhhhh

[manic badge]

45 minutes in game too rn

[versed topaz]

im bronze 1 in 1s, trustttt

[manic badge]

Yeah for sure

[versed topaz]

private match against all-star bots

[manic badge]

What’s ur actual rank, diamond something?

[versed topaz]

plastic 5

whats yours?

[versed topaz]

???

[versed topaz]

nvm, i read your bio

[north spear]

w

[versed topaz]

you plastic 5 too?

[north spear]

tf is plastic

you mean plat?

[whole kettle]

Getting more mechy myself

[whole kettle]

Of course this’ll help but overall practising a mechanic over and over is what gets you consistent. The set up is the most important part of aerial mechs and tbh most of them can be done from the same of wall set up

[versed topaz]

best rank

trust

[whole kettle]

I’m trying to rank up to Grand Plastic 7 right now

[versed topaz]

damn gl

ive only peaked grand plastic 2

[pseudo drift]

real

[sonic loom]

Hey is there anyone that can help me get good?

[candid tendon]

what rank r u

[sonic loom]

Silver 1

Lol

[candid tendon]

sure

[candid tendon]

got a mic?

[sonic loom]

Yeah

[candid tendon]

alr

[sonic loom]

It Is ps controller tho so not best

[candid tendon]

jus added u

[candid tendon]

mine is broken so it sounds awful

but it works

[undone patrol]

I'm champ 1-2, am I supposed to know where I'm going to score the ball? because when ever i do score its really just "luck" you could say.

[shell thorn]

what do you mean by "where?"

[undone patrol]

Like if i should know that i'm going to score the ball in the top left or right for example

when i have possesion of the ball and im about to take a shot my mind tells me to whatever i do just dont make the opponent hit the ball

[shell thorn]

oh, yea. you should be able to aim to those pretty well, or be practicing them. seeing where your opponent is positioned, and shooting in a way they can't save it, is tremendously helpful.

[shell thorn]

that's not a bad mindset at all

[valid trench]

real

[undone patrol]

yeah sometimes the opponent is on the right post waiting to save the ball and i mess up and i just shoot the ball exactly where they are on accident

[shell thorn]

that's definitely normal for champion.

i do that in grand champion/
high champion

[undone patrol]

also I notice that a lot of my opponents in 2's go for air dribbles and just jump up for the ball and im not sure if i should just wait until they carry the ball over to my net and i just low 50 them or if i should learn to meet them in the air and 50 them in the air

[valid trench]

well if your tm8 is rotated behind you, it’s your job to challenge and mess up his air dribble/force a play so your tm8 can get a save/possession

[shell thorn]

his?

[undone patrol]

what about if im the last person back at net and my teammate is at midfield?

[valid trench]

their!

[shell thorn]

good!

[valid trench]

depends on the situation tbh, its gamesense.

often in lower ranks all they can do is just push the ball forward and get a bit of height so you just try to predict that

[undone patrol]

is there a way i can practice my 50s?

[viral bay]

Kickoffs

[valid trench]

i think best way would be to just look at bad 50s in replays and analyse what went wrong and how you could’ve gotten a better 50

[viral bay]

This plus kick offs

[white sable]

Just playing more 1s in general helps a lot. You learn both when you need to 50 vs shadow and also how to 50 well

[viral bay]

Learn and educate yourself abt what 50s do what and what situations they are most practical in

Then take that information into your next game and try to build habits off that new found information

[undone patrol]

im so done with rocket league

[valid trench]

true although kickoff 50s are very specific

specific scenario

[undone patrol]

i peak at d2 in 1's and champ 2 in 2's from hardstuck plat/diamond and now i just keep deranking i dont know whats going on recently

[viral bay]

No 100% I just didnt know his rank so I always say kick offs sre the simplest way to learn 50s

Bc the scenario is the same pattern everytime

[valid trench]

ups and downs its pretty normal in rl

[viral bay]

This

[valid trench]

ahh yeah i agree 💯

[undone patrol]

hardstuck diamond for a year to champ 2 in 2 days is crazy though

[valid trench]

yes it is

but you shouldn’t expect from yourself to stay at your absolute peak

thats setting the bar too high

[chrome needle]

Ive started to believe that randoms are better than this braindead apes on discord

[viral bay]

What makes you say that

[undone patrol]

i did stay at champ 2 for a couple days tho

[chrome needle]

Im 80 ping carrying every single game my braindead tm8 on discord at 30 stable

He couldnt win a single aerial

[viral bay]

What rank are you and your tm8?

[chrome needle]

Used to be d3 fall of to d2 division 1

idk about my tm8

[viral bay]

You should start playing 1s

[chrome needle]

prolly d1 or d2 low

[viral bay]

Or you can dm me

[chrome needle]

i get tilted too fast

[valid trench]

ye thats nice but its unrealistic to peak and expect to stay there. cant always play that well. and when you go on a losing streak and get tilted: stop queueing!!

[odd gazelle]

I searched somes videos about the beautiful musty but im still not understanding. Anyone know how to do it?

[chrome needle]

why should i dm u?

[viral bay]

I know plenty of good players in that rank range

[chrome needle]

how

[valid trench]

what are u not understanding

[viral bay]

I coach

[chrome needle]

tell where i can find them

[valid trench]

your bio is insane

💀💀

[chrome needle]

I just need them to hit the ball mid air

[chrome needle]

ik im getting tired of rl

[valid trench]

real

but dont blame tm8s tho

do you feel like you get bad tm8s every match and consistently get a lot more points?

[chrome needle]

maybe

i get carried 1 out of 10 games no cap

[valid trench]

i recommend watching a replay from your tm8s pov

[chrome needle]

i don't have a perm tm8

[viral bay]

You should try to get one

[chrome needle]

I just keep switching when i feel ive tried everything to make this work

[valid trench]

speaking from experience, most of the times ppl are complaining about bad tm8s they turn out to be (after replay analysis) unknowingly ballchasing or messing their tm8 up

[viral bay]

I’ve seen this way too often too lmao

[chrome needle]

cant

[viral bay]

Why

[chrome needle]

i js dont got enough time

[valid trench]

Real 😭 it’s honestly 9/10 times the case

[viral bay]

Literally

[chrome needle]

I am the 1.

[valid trench]

well thats what all 10 say

[viral bay]

😭

[chrome needle]

I js watch replays when that monkeys are really really bad

[valid trench]

emphasis on ‘unknowingly’

[chrome needle]

they missing every single shot bro

are*

And my wifi sometimes doesnt help me

thats on me

[shell thorn]

the correct channel is #venting

[viral bay]

🤣🤣

[chrome needle]

please make a rl channel where i can say every single slur known to mankind and be able to release my anger

[valid trench]

watch a replay from tm8 pov

you will see whats making them miss all these shots

[chrome needle]

bet

ill watch my latest game

[valid trench]

W

and try to be objective 💀

imagine you’re them

[chrome needle]

30 seconds in

[barren oyster]

Chat what should I do if one of my tm8s decides to ff early? [early in the sense of we have time to even out the scoreboard] I usually just +1 the ff too because I figure there’s no point in playing if they don’t even wanna play anymore. I’m curious on what other ppl would do

[viral bay]

Depends

[chrome needle]

Ill send u the first 30 seconds bro😭😭

[valid trench]

yess i wanna see, you could also use #gameplay-highlights

[viral bay]

Anythings possible but if your tilting too ff and chill out for a minute

[chrome needle]

ill prefer to share it on private

[white sable]

imo just keep playing if you think its winnable, if they start throwing tho just ff

[valid trench]

alr

[viral bay]

Then go again bc its better to ff than to get even more tilted bc that can transfer to your next games which isnt good

[valid trench]

force them to sit out the entire match and don’t skip a single goal

[viral bay]

Dont do this

[valid trench]

💀

[viral bay]

😭

[barren oyster]

I used to play out the match and only ff when it’s really unwinnable but then sometimes when I start another ff mfs decide they don’t want to ff anymore 😔

[cyan sage]

I need a good player for a duo I am gold ( must be gold or above) private message if so pls

[viral bay]

Keep playing at that point

When a tm8 ffs early it’s bc they are tilted

[barren oyster]

I’m questioning if it’s even worth it to deal with at the start, like I could either +1 the ff and start another game or try to play the match out and win and possibly lose and deal with a toxic tm8

But it does depend on the match so I think I’ll start playing out the games I think might be worth it

[viral bay]

It’s your rank, you decide if it’s more important or not

Everyone values mmr differently

[barren oyster]

It just sucks that people insta ff

[viral bay]

Fair

I play 1s i wouldn’t know too much

[valid trench]

I mean if you’re 3 goals behind and your tm8 wants to ff, don’t hold them hostage in the match

If its after 1 goal its just tilted tm8 like Day said

[white sable]

3 goals is def winnable tho

i think most tm8s wont get toxic unless you start losing by a lot without forfeiting

only relatively rare tm8s will actaully sit there and throw just to waste time

[valid trench]

Real

The 1 thing that gets me tilted is when one of the opps leaves and the other one plays the entire match 1v2 without ff’ing

like dude just leave ffs

[white sable]

nah i do that ngl with the small hope that opponents ff cuz they feel bad lol

or sometimes they try to freestyle too much and actually throw

[valid trench]

Ye if you have a chance its understandable

But some ppl be down 7-0 in a 1v2 at 3:00 and still refuse to ff

[split skiff]

eailer td i was inna 1v2 it was 0-4 n i came back as a solo

[viral bay]

Nice

[valid trench]

lmaoo thats embarrassing for them

[split skiff]

fr like these gcs be getting such an ego

[wind quiver]

anyone down to play 2s im silver

cant find any good teammates in solo queue

[still wind]

ik this is probably for LFG, but do yall know where i can go to find high GC1-low GC2 2s and 3s players to actually grind with long term? DM if anyone has any ideas

cant stand solo q anymore

[hallow widget]

is there possibly someone that would be down to help me. im c1 in 2s, just hit it this season. i was diamond for a long time and now that im in champ i feel like im worse than how i was in diamond. if someone would like to help me coaching wise i would love it

[raw ruin]

true

[cursive sinew]

i havent played in 2 years

my highest rank was plat 1

i suck really badly and i need help

any tips on how to improve? everything is messed up, like a bubble tangled mess of muscle memory seemingly remembered and forgotten at the same time and not being able to use it right

[valid trench]

I coached that dude and it was just as predicted 😂 Nice dude tho

[raw ruin]

he chasin huh

[cursive sinew]

i use everything at the wrong time, my rotations suck, and my boost management and movement is off

pls help

i need guidance

[valid trench]

Dm

[cursive sinew]

.-.

[valid trench]

nvm i sent the wrong thing

[valid trench]

Whats your rank now

[cursive sinew]

i havent played in 2 years bro

first time wanting to play since 2022

ps4 player

[valid trench]

Why are you asking help if you haven’t played in 2 years

[cursive sinew]

i wanna get back into it

i need help if im gonna get better

is it wrong to seek guidance instead of blaming everything on others and denying help?

[valid trench]

You have to get back into it first

[cursive sinew]

i played against a bot and lost bro

my skills dissapeared

[valid trench]

Noo not at all, it’s just when yoi havent played in 2 years the thing you need to do is play and warm up again

[cursive sinew]

i wanna improve past plat, so i need help

i just want some tips

[raw ruin]

pms @valid trench

[cursive sinew]

gamesense, boost management, movement, rotations, and aerials

mechs dont matter much until like champ

[valid trench]

Did you play your 10 placements

[manic badge]

I js got Bronze 3 Div 3!!

[cursive sinew]

I barley played, I kinda rq'ed after losing to a bot

im worse than 2022 plat 1 for sure though

that was my peak

[manic badge]

My peak is Bronze 3 Div 3

[cursive sinew]

best i could do was a sloppy air dribble

i got air roll in muscle memory, which idk is a good thing cuz it might be overwhelming for my current amount of skill

[valid trench]

We can’t give you any tips if you’re not playing

[vapid sluice]

i want to play with my xbox account on epic games

[cursive sinew]

i just told you i played yesterday (the 1st) and rage quit after losing to a bot

im going to play again because i have

i just want tips or things to train on

[cyan sage]

can someone justr look atr my gameplay and tell me what im doin wrong

[buoyant monolith]

what should i do if i am underranked and i am much faster than my lobby, but most of the time i end up double commiting with my tms cause they don't know rotations

[viral bay]

Play last man

It’s not that complicated

Or get a duo

[buoyant monolith]

this kills my will to play rl

[viral bay]

And over communicate

Would you rather keep losing or be bored?

[buoyant monolith]

i want a way to rank up and have fun at the same time, playing last man is the safe choice but it's so damn boring and tilting

i want to take advantage of the speed somehow

[viral bay]

What rank are you in 1s

[buoyant monolith]

d3

[viral bay]

And what are you in this gamemode?

[buoyant monolith]

like low c2 3s and low c2 2s rn

[viral bay]

How are you underranked then

[buoyant monolith]

speed, mechanics, higher peak

[viral bay]

Whats your peak?

[buoyant monolith]

1470 2s 1435 3s

[viral bay]

So your c3 gc1

Around abt

[buoyant monolith]

yea that would be my skill level

[viral bay]

Then you need to find a duo

[buoyant monolith]

between mid c3 and low gc1

[viral bay]

Or a trio

And learn to be more effective/efficient with your time on the ball

Thats the difference between c2 and gc1

[buoyant monolith]

i score 90% of the times when i have the ball

one of the main problems i have is that my tm is in our net

when i outplay both opponents and it's an open net for him to hit

[viral bay]

Then score next time

[buoyant monolith]

or i get bumped by the tm

[viral bay]

You cant control your tm8

Its a simple concept

You play with worse players so they make worse mistakes

You dont wanna play the boring way to rank up and play with better people so you stay stuck with bad people

Its a constant loop

If you yourself are doing everything right when you have the ball then your just making the wrong choices

If you make the right choices regardless of if its fun or not then youll rank up

Once your in a higher rank you can have more fun

[buoyant monolith]

probably

i'll try the third man stuff

[viral bay]

Goodluck wish you the best

[viscid scarab]

uhh so like i started the game a few days ago and how do these mechs even work

like i have 0 idea where the ball is going to fall

[shrewd matrix]

Stop right there. Dont play a game thats not fun. If you dont have fun simply improving or playing even against odds then why are we even playing a game

[lost plume]

Hello, could someone help me explain/show how to properly flick after ball control please? Because when I try to flick, my car doesn't touch the pass to flick the ball.

[shrewd matrix]

Rank?

[lost plume]

C1 div 2

[shrewd matrix]

Oh nice sure

[viscid scarab]

can someone help me by telling me what to improve at lower ranks?

[lost plume]

Ty

[viscid scarab]

i just started the game a few days ago and im like silver 3

[shrewd matrix]

Got a mic?

[viscid scarab]

nope

[lost plume]

What is your epic?

[lost plume]

No

[viscid scarab]

i play on xbox

[viral bay]

I don’t disagree at all

[shrewd matrix]

Can you atleast listen?

[viral bay]

But he wanted to rank up and have fun

But at his current rank he is annoyed by his tm8 and his clashing skill difference

[lost plume]

Yes, but im not understand english.

[viral bay]

So I gave the most optimal answer I could which is to play in the most effective way possible that way he can have fun playing with ppl that wouldn’t clash with him

[shrewd matrix]

A higher rank will only give you a short burst of happiness then you will feel empty. If you dont enjoy the journey thinking oh i will have fun and be happy when im there then you will waste your time on anything in life

[viral bay]

Thats not what I was getting at at all

[lost plume]

Can you add me for show me pls?

[shrewd matrix]

U should try being more precise with your words then

[viral bay]

I was saying he should work on ranking up, not to enjoy being a higher rank, but to play with people he enjoyed playing with.

[shrewd matrix]

Teammates are chronollogically trash

[viral bay]

That’s opinion based

[shrewd matrix]

Not cause they are bad but because of how we perceive them

[viral bay]

Exactly

[lost plume]

@shrewd matrix Can you tell me what your username is so I can add you please?

[shrewd matrix]

Anyone i know even in gc2 and 3 still gets mad over their m8s it doesnt change

[viral bay]

But if they got put with an ssl theyd be happy no?

[shrewd matrix]

I wanna help you but if you dont understand english how should i explain?

[viral bay]

Your point is true but the opposite is also true

[shrewd matrix]

Epic is blackpulserr

[lost plume]

in messages

[lost plume]

Ok

[shrewd matrix]

Alright let me make it short then

[lost plume]

Added

[shrewd matrix]

You wanna dribble the ball going the same speed as it. When you dribble you see sparks. Dont ask why but you dont want those. You wanna dribble without sparks and with the ball towards the front for flicks so when you jump it sticks to your car

Inv me

[lost plume]

K wait

[distant gust]

comp d3 2s? peaked c1 before

[whole kettle]

Anyone else suffering from the Yo-Ypo effect?

[cyan sage]

need sme tips on how to improve in a matter of a few days

[white sable]

It’s pretty natural for someone playing at the rank they’re at, when you are fixated on Ranking up tho it starts to become very frustrating

[white sable]

Review replays, see what mistakes you are making to get scored on, focus your time on correcting those mistakes either through better or working on mechanics that are lacking

[whole kettle]

Yh ik, I just want to get to 1360

It feels like whenever I get 1360 I pretty much get 1450-1460-ish fairly easily

Like 1360 is my breaking point or smth like that

[cyan sage]

i'd say i have a problem with powersliding and making some stupid decisions, how would i work on that?

[whole kettle]

Main is not over committing

Powerslide is a great tool, I do abt 40-50 powerslides a game

I've accidently queued a dropshot lol

[white sable]

Honestly if the mmr is getting your tilted it might be a good idea to just turn it off for like a couple days and just focus on the game.

Feel like when you too focused on mmr the game goes from winning to trying not to lose if that makes sense

[cyan sage]

i never play much matches, mostly freeplay tbh

and sometimes 1s

[white sable]

In 2s?

[cyan sage]

more so in 1s

not a fan of 2s

[whole kettle]

Thats what I did then Iu turned it back on a few days ago

[white sable]

Yea 1s is really just about not over committing, playing more patient and punishing your opponents mistakes

[cyan sage]

any idea how to improve the recovery and powerslide game?

it feels super weird with movement cause im on kbm but im trying to get used to sum

[zinc root]

i reached c2 in ones by literally just playing patient they keep going for resets and missing and i just score open nets

[white sable]

Can work on it in free play just try to hold down powerslide a lot when moving and hitting the ball around the field.

[cyan sage]

alr ar

and recoveries?

it's not tat i cant recover, is more like im slow at it

[white sable]

Kinda similar thing just try to move around the field with speed, putting yourself in awkward situations and doing your best to recover quickly to follow up on the ball

[cyan sage]

👍 thanks man

[white sable]

Ideally try to notice the specific situations where you mess up recoveries for example maybe you get stuck in the corner awkwardly a lot

[cyan sage]

more so after a failed offensive play tbh

might hit the post sometimes too and takes time

[somber swan]

Yo guys can someone coach me is that algds?

[white sable]

If it’s after you take a shot then you might wanna start flip canceling when you shoot to recover better if you don’t already

[whole kettle]

People like riding my ass in a corner today

[distant gust]

d3 2s anyone?

[cyan sage]

ohhh yeah thats useful thanks man

should i also start playing more 1s?

[white sable]

1s def the best game mode for improving at the game

[whole kettle]

Yh, when I focussing on ranking up 1s I went from Plat 1 to D3 almost champ and my 2s went up a whole rank tier

[viral bay]

Dope

[cyan sage]

dont really care bout ranking up much, just improving

[white sable]

If you can hit a certain rank in 1s you can probably get like 3 ranks up above in 2s and 3s

Like if you d2 in 1s you can probably get c2 at least in 2s

[cyan sage]

got a big game to play in a week or so

[cyan sage]

i play a lot of pms with a friend, he's gc2

[viral bay]

Yeah but that gets a little less true the higher you are

[cyan sage]

can't really win against him but i can stand my ground

[zinc root]

lol im seeing gcs in ones playing in gc1 and gc2 lobbies

[viral bay]

Thats a great way ti improve

To*

[white sable]

Idk I’m around c1 in 1s and mid gc 1 in 2s, can probably hit gc 2

Maybe for moving through gc 2 and up it becomes less true idk

I def gotta play more 1s as well

[viral bay]

I was gonna say

The only mechanic capability difference in c1 to gc in 1s is adaptability the rest is just consistency in your current set of skills

And that just comes with games and playing time tbh

[somber swan]

Can anyone coach me I'm horrible and need some tips in rocket league would really appreciate it 🙂

[viral bay]

What rank are you

[somber swan]

Plat 1 div 1

[white sable]

Yea I don’t really play much 1s, I think if I locked in on 1s I could def get around high c2 cuz ik I’ve hit before.

I just feel like if it’s hard to adjust my play style between 1s and 2s so I just stick to playing 2s

[viral bay]

That’s fair

[cyan sage]

I've beaten a lot of players in 1s who were like c1 in 2s or d2 in 1s

[whole kettle]

Why have I got a 2 2025 dates in my replay folder lol

[viral bay]

Although tbh your gonna want to later put a lot of focus in 1s

Gc3-ssl lots of team isolation happens

So getting better at 1s play will help

[whole kettle]

And now I got an AFK tm8

[viral bay]

Yikes

[whole kettle]

N ow their back a minute in and 3 goals scored

[white sable]

Yea I’ve kinda realized that it will def be an issue later on, I been progressing pre well in 2s over the past week so my plan is just keep going until I get stuck then focus on 1s

Seeing higher level lobbies it’s very clear that their solo plays are much much better than where I’m at, most other aspects are obv better but not as huge of a margin

[cyan sage]

@white sable i won't lie i've been practicing the powerslide thing as soon as you told me and i can feel the difference

[white sable]

Could just be me looking for an excuse to work on air dribbles and resets as Solo plays tho ngl

[white sable]

That’s great to hear

[viral bay]

Im glad you got a plan

I love seeing players have a good understanding of the game and themselves

Its nice to see bc its not common lmao

[cyan sage]

im not getting into those awkward situations no more and the recoveries are also getting better

i feel more controlled as well

[viral bay]

That’s good

[fringe robin]

rank?

[white sable]

Yea I feel like if my end goal is at least gc3/ssl I gotta at least be kinda smart with it or else imma be grinding ranked forever

Especially through gc cuz it def much harder to rank up then below

[viral bay]

Yeah

[cyan sage]

never played tbh

[viral bay]

I just wanted to say that

[fringe robin]

XD

[cyan sage]

i played ranked 2 years ago

[viral bay]

Bc rarely do I see people actually have stuff planned out

[white sable]

Yea I mean makes sense for normal player who doesn’t care too much abt try harding the game

[whole kettle]

I think its time to give RL up for the day

Aint won a match yet except when I accidently played dropshot

[cyan sage]

no im competitive i just took a long break

[white sable]

Nah I meant that towards the convo with day not you mb

[cyan sage]

and im more of a guy who plays with others

[whole kettle]

@cyan sage Whats your 1s rank?

[cyan sage]

prob d1 or d2

i just play pm 1s with lads

[fringe robin]

That aint that bad

[cyan sage]

i mostly win against ppl who are low c1 in 2s or d2 in 1s

and then i have a gc2 friend who i keep losing to but i can hold my ground better every time i play him

[fringe robin]

d1-d2 in 1s They can be low c2 in 2s XD

[cyan sage]

oh ☠️

[white sable]

Playing against a gc2 will def help you improve a lot faster than most so that’s pre good

[viral bay]

Indeed

Thats how I improved

[cyan sage]

yea i just have a big match coming up so trying to get ready for whatevere

[white sable]

Wish I had a higher ranked friend but instead all I can do is be that guy for my friends in Diamond

[whole kettle]

Maybe it'd help to watch me doing some of my placements

[fringe robin]

Against who haha?

[cyan sage]

i watched a lot of nass and trk and their gameplay helped me pick on some stuff too

[whole kettle]

Last time I played 1s I was high D3

Idk what it is now

[cyan sage]

just against a couple lads around champ-gc range, MAYBE ssls

getting ready for that only tbh

[whole kettle]

If you want we can hop in a call

[cyan sage]

if i would have to play on high ping..what woould be the best way to play?

[whole kettle]

You might be able to pick up on some things Im doing that your not, Im not terribly better than you but could be a good way

[viral bay]

Wdym

[whole kettle]

Why would you have to play on high ping?

[viral bay]

Im thinking the same thing

[cyan sage]

diff regions

[viral bay]

Why play on a different one?

[whole kettle]

Best way is to find a mid region, e.g. if one NA and one Middle east EU is best server to play on

[cyan sage]

yeah i get that, but would it be better to just play extra passive or normally

[white sable]

Prob not much you can do abt the ping itself, will get a decent amount of ghost touches tho probably

[viral bay]

Ohh

[viral bay]

Play normally

Not much else you can do

[cyan sage]

used to it lol

thanks a lot lads

[viral bay]

No problem

[whole kettle]

Im against a 1s opponent I hate, only going for bumps and demos when im low boost

[viral bay]

Use that to your advantage then

[whole kettle]

Not to mention ass kickoffs so he keeps winning

[white sable]

Kickoffs are half the reason I avoid 1s ngl, opponents at c1 got the most inconsistent kickoffs to adapt to

[whole kettle]

Haha, scored 7 of a kickoff and made him quit

[gritty sonnet]

why is it hard for people to reflect on their own mistakes?

[viral bay]

Not hard

Just common

[gritty sonnet]

so if its not hard then why don't everyone do it?

[white sable]

You reflect on your mistake then you feel the need to fix it which is hard

[viral bay]

Simple it’s a part of the brains chemistry

[white sable]

If you don’t reflect then you don’t need to change anything which is ez

[gritty sonnet]

most people don't reflect

[gritty sonnet]

so if i never reflect i am never wrong?

[white sable]

You’ll feel as if you are never wrong

[viral bay]

Mistakes are problems, and problems need solutions, solutions are hard to achieve and take time and effort, the brain suppresses hardships by ignoring them. Its just chemistry

By never acknowledging your issues you’ll suppress it more which will build that bad habit and make it stronger, just like addictions, the more you do it the harder it is to stop.

[gritty sonnet]

so it is not comoen for people to refelct than?

[viral bay]

Everyones different and everyone is human, they arent dumb for not acknowledging their mistakes.

[viral bay]

I never said that

Never once did I say it

[whole kettle]

Final placement game, wish myself luck

[viral bay]

Have fun 👋

[gritty sonnet]

"by never acknowledging your issues"

[viral bay]

Im not sure if you dont understand english but me saying that doesnt imply that its common

Or that its not common

[white sable]

RL tm8s making bro turn to philosophy lmao

[gritty sonnet]

you mean uncommon?

[viral bay]

^

[viral bay]

No I didnt

[viral bay]

Sayin

[gritty sonnet]

i never said being dumb i just said that it is not common

[cyan sage]

can someone just look at my gameplay and tell me what im doin wrong

[valid trench]

Rank?

[viral bay]

I never said you did sir

[cyan sage]

gold 1

[viral bay]

I was simply making a statement

👍

[whole kettle]

The post is pissing me off this game

[viral bay]

😭

[cyan sage]

hm?

[gritty sonnet]

they aren't acknowledging because its hard

[valid trench]

Oh that’s too low for coaching for me. In that rank it’s just playing matches to get better.

[distant gust]

what rank are you

[cyan sage]

damn

what ran k u coach?

[valid trench]

ssl

[distant gust]

could you coach me?

[viral bay]

Im not talking to you anymore

You arent reading half the words Im saying

[valid trench]

I’d say from plat people are good and consistent enough to start being coached

[whole kettle]

I missed 8 goals that muich due to smacking the post and some saves as well

[viral bay]

😭😭

[valid trench]

What’s your rank

[gritty sonnet]

are you on pc?

[distant gust]

d3, peaked c1 before

[cyan sage]

yes

[whole kettle]

My ones have dropped like hell, got D1 in placements damn I suck at 1s now

[viral bay]

Yikes

[whole kettle]

Can I be coached? C2 in 2s currently with a GC2 peak

[cyan sage]

why?

[gritty sonnet]

me not changing my mind doesn't mean i am not reading what you write

[gritty sonnet]

send a replay in dms

[cyan sage]

like any replay?

[whole kettle]

Anyone wanna join me for 3s games? I got 7 placements left and 1116 mmr, idk what rank that cnselates too

[gritty sonnet]

from your main game mode

[viral bay]

That should be c1 or d3

I think

[whole kettle]

I just hate 3s so idk the elo ranges in the mode

[viral bay]

Dont quote me I dont play 3s

[whole kettle]

I presume its the same as 2s

[viral bay]

Lmao 😭

[glossy spindle]

looking for c3 dropshot and wanna grind to gc1

[distant gust]

most likely isnt

[gritty sonnet]

just look it up

[viral bay]

Nah is should be slightly lower than 2s

[whole kettle]

Same here except currently D2 in dropshot as aint played the mode before

[viral bay]

And slightly higher than 1s

[whole kettle]

1000mmr in 1s is C1 pretty sure

[distant gust]

and 1000 in 2s in d3

[whole kettle]

I gotta stop going for resets in 1s lol

[viral bay]

Nahhh

Have fun lol

[valid trench]

I can do a quick replay analysis, send me a recent replay and I’ll point out what you need to improve

[whole kettle]

Sent my most recent 2s games I think

[proper yarrow]

can anybody give me some tips on air roll?

[wind quiver]

go into freeplay and press all the movement keys and observe what heppens

learn from that

[proper yarrow]

i know what happens. i go to rings map lvl 6 no problem. i just cant hit ball and air dribble and stuff like that

[wind quiver]

i cant help then

thefact that im silver lmao

[strong river]

It's all just practice. Keep playing and you will get better as time goes on.

[proper yarrow]

what do i practice. rings map?

[strong river]

You can do a lot of different things. Rings, freeplay, training packs...

I used to do a lot of freeplay just trying to air dribble and play around with it

And don't be afraid to try in a real game as well

[cyan sage]

Some gc or ssl DM ME

[distant gust]

how many levels are in leth giant rings map

[cobalt plank]

No idea

[distant gust]

i got to level 10 in 12 minutes is that any good

[cobalt plank]

I mean if it is your pace then ye

And tbh I am not one to judge someone based on minutes and levels

One guy is better on the ground and the other is better in the air so there isn't a real guideline on how good or how bad that is

And there is always room for improvement

[steel sorrel]

can someone give me tips on how to get c1

im hardstuck dia 1 \

[fierce sedge]

who here coaches free

can I get a coach?

[frozen quartz]

Can anyone teach me h9w to 1v2?

[fierce sedge]

[fierce sedge]

wanna run 2s I'm silver 2

[frozen quartz]

Dang no

[fierce sedge]

k

[frozen quartz]

Im already having problems with golds

Im about to get back to gold 2

[pseudo drift]

please review my replay 😍

[livid hinge]

How can i rank up in 2s faster?

[sturdy delta]

I'm a ps5 player and i need training packs codes for aerial and for power shots

[stone topaz]

use workshop maps with bakkesmod

[sturdy delta]

How

I'm ps5

[near river]

I got 500+ house into rl and I'm gold 1...
There has to be something I'm doing really wrong
Surely after 500 hours you should be atleast Diamond 1 right?

[glass tinsel]

i have 5 placement matches left for 1s

take your guesses for my rank

[cyan sage]

anyone know why when i try to brreezi im either to far from the ball or its to infront of me how to fix?/

[verbal fjord]

Who tryna 1v1

[cyan sage]

Yea prolly if u win the rest you’ll get plat

[dull vessel]

should i try to get diamond in 1s or 2s first?

[verbal fjord]

[dull vessel]

2s would be harder cuz my teammates are trash

[glass tinsel]

[thick moth]

Hello

Who can help me im silver and i need to really improve

Pls dm me if you can help

[nova smelt]

Need some tips from some1 who is either a coach or gc3-ssl. Ima a gc1-gc2 player. recently i feel like im stuck in skill, i dont feel like i improve or play good anymore. I dont know what i can do to help it. any1 got any tips?

[civic fractal]

@haughty rover Bro, i was joking add me

[glass tinsel]

im gonna break something istg

ive forfeited like 3 to 4 games now

i will break something istg

[shell thorn]

here's general silver tips:

#gameplay-tips message

let me know if you have any questions.

[thick moth]

If my teammate will be only in goal what do i need to do then?

[cyan sage]

can someone coach me'

[woven bay]

day 10 on how to heilcopter reset tip will help

[shell thorn]

i suppose you could leave them to that, it's pretty unfortunate to have a teammate like that. all you can do is

[shell thorn]

what rank are you?

[cyan sage]

pls dont tell me to go play in freeplay or msth , but im gold

[shell thorn]

i can give you tips here, originally meant for a platinum, but it is just general game sense:

#gameplay-tips message

let me know if you have any questions.

definitely also work on your shooting.

[cyan sage]

isnt this for 2s?

[shell thorn]

yes

[cyan sage]

im trynna rank 1s rn

[shell thorn]

oh, ok

[cyan sage]

plus

im asking for coach

cuz theres smth wrong im doing

but i just dk what it is

[near moss]

anyone that are good at freestyling show me different ways to hit the ball after a flip reset? tryna get better at flip cancels (im gc1)

[glass tinsel]

can anyone coach a silver?

[thick moth]

No but maybe do you wanna play togheter im also silver

[glass tinsel]

sure

[shrewd matrix]

Why are you not willing to go freeplay?

[cyan sage]

no i am willing to go into freeplay but i just seem to not be able to improve from that

like i learn smth\

but just cant do it in game

[glass tinsel]

then do training packs or workshop maps

[shrewd matrix]

Dont learn something learn 1 thing

[cyan sage]

whats the diff

[shrewd matrix]

You have to focus on learning things in freeplay while also doing then in training

[cyan sage]

like what should i learn now

[glass tinsel]

training packs and workshop maps help you learn 1 specific thing

[cyan sage]

ye so

whats the 1 specific thing , thats my question

[glass tinsel]

whatever is it you wanna learn

[shrewd matrix]

Packs and workshop maps dont allow you to mess around as much when you get bored

[cyan sage]

ye thats the prob idk what do i wanna learn first

[shrewd matrix]

It changes over time

[cyan sage]

mhm

[glass tinsel]

theyre meant for training and learning

[glass tinsel]

saves is imo the most importand and recoveries

[shrewd matrix]

If you are silver i would say power hits and saves

[glass tinsel]

recoveries?

[cyan sage]

u guys got some recommended maps for saves?

[glass tinsel]

im on console so i use training packs

so idk if you cn find it

[shrewd matrix]

How good are silvers at aerials nowadays?

[glass tinsel]

im ok at them

[cyan sage]

hitting flip resets

*mid

[shrewd matrix]

I cant properly flipreset

[cyan sage]

do u got good saves workshop map?

[shrewd matrix]

Get that thought out of your head immediately

[cyan sage]

damn

[shrewd matrix]

If you had the car control to properly flip reset you would just solo freestyle yourself to champ

[cyan sage]

well i dont

[glass tinsel]

plat*

[shrewd matrix]

I know the knowledge sucks but i will tell you what i think you need to hear not what you want to hear

[glass tinsel]

what rank are you btw?

[shrewd matrix]

Plats wont stop a controlled flip redet

Gc2

[glass tinsel]

true but you know what i mean cus them plats are crazy these days

[shrewd matrix]

No they arent

[glass tinsel]

you sure?

[shrewd matrix]

Yeah

[cyan sage]

BRO..

nah they be hitting 8 flip reset musty double tap

[glass tinsel]

fr

have you seen them clips?

[cyan sage]

ye my friend is plat

[shrewd matrix]

If plats were crazy then what sre diamonds? Gods? Champs ? What am i a deiety above anything?

Exactly clips

[glass tinsel]

from ingame

not freeplay

[shrewd matrix]

Have you seen a full plat match? Its either boring or unbearable to watch because of stupidity

[glass tinsel]

thats true but most of them are crazy mechanical for some reason

[shrewd matrix]

They arent

Plats might ve able to execute a mech

But they arent mechy. They cant for example save the play they messed up

[glass tinsel]

ohhh so thats what mechanical means

like i do know their recoveries are bad most of the time

[shrewd matrix]

Being mechy means not only being able to do mechs but also save messed up situations or control the mech however you want or based on what the opponents do

[cyan sage]

like even if we ignore plats , why do gold 1 div 1 airdribbles on my hea

[shrewd matrix]

Nothing special

[glass tinsel]

so champs are the mechy people? or gc?

[shrewd matrix]

I did my first airdribbles in gold aswell and thag was 2017

[glass tinsel]

damn

[shrewd matrix]

Maybe 2018. It would be embarassing if they couldnt do so 6 years later

[glass tinsel]

i still can barely hit most of my aerials (i do hit them half of the time but thats it)

[shrewd matrix]

It just depends on what you train for

Air dribbles was all i trained back then

[cyan sage]

same

[glass tinsel]

im silver and im working on recoveries and saves. is that good?

[cyan sage]

so what workshop map; do u recommend

[shrewd matrix]

Im console

[cyan sage]

.

[shrewd matrix]

I just spanned doing them in freeplay

[cyan sage]

like how

save in freeplay?

[shrewd matrix]

Oh saves

Well i learned those from playing but it would be faster with freeplay

Id say start working on shadow defense saves

[glass tinsel]

here is the saves training pack i use
2E23-ABD5-20C6-DBD4

[cyan sage]

imma try t=it'

[cyan sage]

casoh would be the best at shadow defence cuz his shadow is big

[glass tinsel]

💀

[glass tinsel]

@cyan sage

[cyan sage]

imma try it rq

[glass tinsel]

ok

[cyan sage]

2E23-ABD5-20C6-DBD4

[glass tinsel]

yeah

[sly dirge]

to be honest me too

[near moss]

anyone that are good at freestyling show me different ways to hit the ball after a flip reset? tryna get better at flip cancels (im gc1)

[cyan sage]

i peaked at the first 35 shots then from 36 i couldnt do it

well it actually gave me a new understanding of save

[near lodge]

Hey, I’m looking for a coach. I’m gold 1 in twos

[hot nova]

anybody wana coach me?

[hasty crow]

Can someone send me good camera settings?

[snow viper]

Hi, I'm plat 3 is it necessary for me to start using directional air roll or am I fine just using free air roll

[woven pecan]

free air is better

[zealous perch]

look up what some pro's use. Squishy's is nice. I prefer to have mine a bit closer and lower though.

[left aspen]

Someone please help I’ve played 10 games today and lost all but one I swr I need help

[balmy tapir]

directional good for recoveries no?

[snow viper]

Ok thanks

[errant dagger]

Someone coach me im hardstuck plat but im not even bad

[tranquil socket]

Its a good thing learning directional air roll but in plat, you should work on getting the ball in the net with good amounts of power

Imo

[woven pecan]

its mid imo

[zealous perch]

completely subjective. neither is better.

[manic tinsel]

certainly not necessary, but its never too late to start learning directional too cuz itll be usefull later

[snow viper]

I don't get the difference between them what is the difference

[tranquil socket]

Im just looking for someone to talk to whilst I do some freeplay

[manic tinsel]

they have the same function. but you can combine free air roll and directinal air roll to make your car move in ways that are otherwise not really possible

[snow viper]

Ok so would it be better to try and learn to use them both together

[zealous perch]

"air roll left/right" as an individual bind is basically 2 inputs, turning in air roll, and left/right inout. When you press that button, you will rotate on that axis in the left/right direction. Free air roll is one input, toggling on air roll, but if you want to roll left or right, you will need to use your steering thumbstick and input left or right

[manic tinsel]

so if you learn to use both, that will unlock a lot of new ways to airroll

yes exactly

[left aspen]

Hello I need someone to lead me in the right direction because I don’t think I’m that bad but I keep losing every game so im obviously not as good as I think

[zealous perch]

that would be ideal. Directional air roll lets you do air stalls and tornado spins, which is not possible with free air roll

[snow viper]

Alright

[snow viper]

Ok

[zealous perch]

but those aren't exactly "necessary" to reach a high level of skill/rank in this game

[manic tinsel]

no they certainly arent necessary if your only goal is rank up. there are pros that only use free airroll

[snow viper]

The thing is I don't know what button to bind it as because ik I will get confused at the start

[zealous perch]

It takes x amount of hours to reach y rank. If you're at x-300 hours, it'll take you about 30p hours before reaching y rank.

Stop worrying about winning or losing and just play the game. You can focus individual skills and mechanics if you want, but it will always come down to "now do it 10,000 times"

[manic tinsel]

the most common setup is to have free airroll on one bumper and directional on the other

[snow viper]

Alright

[zealous perch]

many people have boost on right bumper, powerslide and free air roll on left bumper. Of the 4 buttons wherr your right thumb is, the left button (X for xbox, square for playstation), is air roll left and the right button (B for xbox, circle for playstation) is air roll right

you dont have to do that though ofc. Ive seen some people have no free air roll, air roll left is left bumper, air roll right is right bumper, and boost is default on B/Circle.

I hate playing claw though. Its hard to press jump and boost like that.

[snow viper]

Yh I got my boost on circle

[tranquil socket]

Any1 just wanna chat?

[zealous perch]

Its not necessary to change it, at all. But..I would suggest putting boost on right bumper. Obv its ganna suck for a few games and you will mentally be disabled until you get used to it, but it's worth it in the long run imo

Im a big advocate for it but there are pros with boost on circle.

[left aspen]

Thank you do you recommend me playing ranked or casual?

[snow viper]

I'll try it

[zealous perch]

doesnt matter. At around champ, assuming you havent boosted or intentionally altered your mmr in either category, both modes are indistibguishable from each other. Actually At Champ 2, ranked is easier than casual bc so many washed gcs and smurfs are in "champ 2 mmr" in casual, whereas in ranked i get actual champ 1 and 2's.

[zealous perch]

play with friends, have fun, go for clips.

if youre trying to win, you can reach at least GC 1 by just being able to hit the ball hard and accurately, position correctly, and defend. Pretty much nothing else is really "necessary"

[snow viper]

Do U really think that?

But aren't they mechanically better

[zealous perch]

you really dont need good mechanics (dribbling, flicks, air dribbling, flip resets, insane recoveries, wave dashes, etc) to at least reach around GC1. Past that point they will start to become necessary.

[zealous perch]

Squishy has a road to SSL series for both 1v1 and 2v2 that he did recently. I recommend you go watch it. Yes he does things at a pro level of consistency, but he's not completely stomping on kids with triple flip resets

[left aspen]

None of my friends are interested in rocket league lol but thank you for your advice

[zealous perch]

he also recently put out a video showing the pov of a pro player from the most recent rlcs. He literally looks like a plat 3, its hilarious, but hes doing everything important correctly. Positioning, timing, hitting, defending.

[snow viper]

Also another random question does winning by a big margin like 9-0 make U rank up more?

Or rank down more

[cyan sage]

you could get gc2 if you get really good at doing that

[zealous perch]

typically, more. I once spent 3 days on a smurf account to figure out the mmr gain/loss system and the final conclusion is that it makes no sense about 20% of the time. Whether you gain/lose mmr and by how much is sometimes completely nonsensible. The worst part of this is that if you are a smurf, the game will absolutely help and encourage you to remain a smurf.

[red tinsel]

hi, im champ 3 and i rly wanna get gc can anyone coach me?

[snow viper]

So the main thing is just to win the game

[zealous perch]

you can win a game, have double your teammates points, and lose mmr.

[snow viper]

I didn't know that why

[dull vessel]

why can people air dribble from the ground and double tap in 700mmr (1s)

[snow viper]

Also how do U check mmr

[tranquil socket]

bakkesmod is probably the easiest but you can also check it on the RL-tracker Network

[zealous perch]

bakkesmod sometimes glitches with its mmr gains and losses but i can confirm, you sometimes, not often but it happens, lose mmr for winning.

[dull vessel]

im 700 mmr in 2s and people can barely hit the ball

[snow viper]

Is it a bot or an app?

[tranquil socket]

App

[snow viper]

Alright

[zealous perch]

either smurfs, or they practice a single skill all day long bc they find it fun. But at 700 mmr its prob smurfs lol

[dull vessel]

i played 5 games in 700 mmr 1s and everyone could double tap air dribble

[snow viper]

Probably smurf accounts

[zealous perch]

sounds like smurfs lmao

[dull vessel]

5 smurfs in a row is crazy work

[zealous perch]

pc is filled with em bc its a lot easier to make smurf accounts than on console

[snow viper]

Yh I remember gold 3 was full of them

[dull vessel]

gold 3 is easier than plat in 2s

[zealous perch]

epic doesnt require much verification. You can make a smurf account in about 5 minutes.

[dull vessel]

i was hardstuck gold 3 for a month and i just got plat today and im almoast plat 2 already

[zealous perch]

i think you got this backwards lol

[snow viper]

😂

[dull vessel]

i meant plat is easier mb

[snow viper]

Btw how does that looking for a group work

[zealous perch]

i figured, lol

[sturdy forge]

still easy enough on console

[snow viper]

Do U message the person U want to play with

Or would they be in a vc

[dull vessel]

this

[snow viper]

Alright

[zealous perch]

interesting. Making a PS or Microsoft acc doesn't require a phone number?

[left aspen]

Wait what is mmr?
