[cobalt gazelle]

I can't help you understand that. But an LCSW can. And I'd suggest you see one.

[arctic anvil]

fair enough

[dim oracle]

what is LCSW

[arctic anvil]

i’m glad you’re staying safe

[halcyon hill]

@charred moon

[onyx jackal]

I think he's just worried about you but completely fair

never give anyone info about you

[arctic anvil]

@snow chasm

[cunning haven]

How's he worried about me?

The reason I don't like giving up my age is because I might get kicked out of the discord.

[halcyon hill]

@snow chasm

[onyx jackal]

because theres creeps in discord

[halcyon hill]

@vague sun

[onyx jackal]

under 13??

[arctic anvil]

kind of shot yourself in the foot with that one

[halcyon hill]

@shy cape

[cobalt gazelle]

I mean, not grasping social cues is common for autism and is generally considered "creepy." Doesn't mean it's intentional, as would be personified by "creep."

[onyx jackal]

valid arguement

[arctic anvil]

‘i don’t want you to see what’s in the bag because then you’ll arrest me’ ahh

[cunning haven]

Please don't kick me out.

[arctic anvil]

😂😂😂😂

[halcyon hill]

yo I found out how to report

[arctic anvil]

😂😂😂😂

[halcyon hill]

just / report user or sum

[arctic anvil]

no one’s kicking you out dw

maybe delete that message though

[cunning haven]

ok

[cobalt gazelle]

😀

[onyx jackal]

I don't reccomend being on discord but it's completely your choice

[shy cape]

Don't tag me please

[halcyon hill]

srry

[dim oracle]

are you sure its against discord tos to be under 13 and he admitted it in this chat while you were pinging many mods

[halcyon hill]

can you get an admin?

[cunning haven]

My mom allows me on Discord. That's why I'm on discord.

[onyx jackal]

and you've been a creep for God knows how long

[halcyon hill]

send this on /report "harassing minors, and pretending to be someone"

[cunning haven]

Honestly I'm mostly on discord for my friends but I'm just looking for someone to play Rocket League with me cuz I need a good teammate cuz I'm trying to rank up but I suck.

[dim oracle]

im not a creep

please explain how I am one if you think so

[onyx jackal]

Always ask your mom if your unsure about anything

[arctic anvil]

i can give you some stuff to work on what rank are you

[cobalt gazelle]

Bruv. You're 12
Get off the internet. It's not safe for you.

Hell. It's not "safe" for any of us.

[onyx jackal]

that won't change his mind

[cunning haven]

I was unranked yesterday but then my teammates carried the absolute heck out of me and now I'm on Platinum

[arctic anvil]

25 year olds get catfished it’s about being vigilant

[onyx jackal]

have to convince him in a less direct way

[arctic anvil]

what’s your main game mode?

[cobalt gazelle]

That's crazy...

[cunning haven]

Free play

[arctic anvil]

mad

[halcyon hill]

have yall reported him?

[arctic anvil]

i mean 1s 2s or 3s

[cobalt gazelle]

Him who?

[halcyon hill]

Johan

[arctic anvil]

johan

[halcyon hill]

the predator

[cobalt gazelle]

Oh yeah. Few times.

[dim oracle]

you can get banned for false reports

[cunning haven]

???

[arctic anvil]

1v1 2v2 or 3v3

[dim oracle]

and all the other crimes youve committed against me like slander and defimation

[halcyon hill]

you can get arrested for liking kids

[arctic anvil]

defamation*

[dim oracle]

thats also slander

[cunning haven]

Ohhh. 2v2

[cobalt gazelle]

It's not slander. It's libel. It's written. And shhh.

[dim oracle]

yes thanks for the correction

[arctic anvil]

ok nice

[hard marten]

LF coach

[dim oracle]

I can help if youre feminine

[cursive flax]

any one wanna run high champ or low gc torny

[glacial linden]

Bro????????

[dim oracle]

what

[cobalt gazelle]

Bruv. Just go rub one out and chill with all that grossness.

[glacial linden]

youre actually weird asl

[dim oracle]

whats gross about that?

how am I weird I dont understand

[glacial linden]

youre the reason women dont go out alone gng

[arctic anvil]

focus on the main job roles that coincide directly with the 3 main objectives to every team based game with a ball and a goal. 1st man cover ball 2nd man cover play 3rd man cover net

[hard marten]

wym if im feminine

[halcyon hill]

aight bro go take a shower

[arctic anvil]

😂😂😂😂

[dim oracle]

if youre a girl or a femboy like have feminine characteristics

[halcyon hill]

if ur a girl or a femboy

[cobalt gazelle]

This. Is. Gross. This. Is. Creepy. And honestly, I think you're trolling at this point. That, or, your IQ is sub 85.

[glacial linden]

bro johan leave the server gng

[arctic anvil]

i’m watching you give people nightmares live

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[dim oracle]

why would someone get nightmares

[hard marten]

i have fat ass is that enough?

[glacial linden]

ah hell nah

[halcyon hill]

bro js ignore this guy, tomorrow he'll get banned i bet

[cunning haven]

If you're talking to me, I have no idea what the heck you Just said means

[dim oracle]

if you think that please explain how instead of throwing insults

[glacial linden]

charger youre talking about 3s

[cobalt gazelle]

LCSW, get one.

[dim oracle]

I havnt heard a single reason why helping feminine people is weird or gross

[glacial linden]

and im pretty sure he said he plays 2s

[halcyon hill]

if this is ragebait, you shouldnt troll about these things

[dim oracle]

what is that

[cunning haven]

I did say 2s

[cobalt gazelle]

Google, use it.

Brain, use it?

[glacial linden]

okay flopper ignore what charger said because it has no correlation to you

[arctic anvil]

to put it simply, if 1 persons in front of you cover the play and the net, if no one’s in front of you cover the ball and look to use your teammate when you can

[onyx jackal]

he'll find a way to ask how

[cobalt gazelle]

Hahaha

[dim oracle]

I couldnt find anywhere in google where it said that and my brains tell me its a positive chivalrous thing

[glacial linden]

charger whats your rank?

[cunning haven]

Man, I don't even know how to control my car.

[onyx jackal]

Sm1 please ban this creep

[arctic anvil]

johan you just keep digging

[arctic anvil]

work on getting the basic mechanics down. This is where you can watch videos because it’s pretty impossible to be wrong about this stuff

[onyx jackal]

can everyone /report Johan and type in reason harassment

[cunning haven]

I'm just learning how to dribble.

[dim oracle]

I think they should ban the people who actually did bad things instead that break the servers rules and the law

[onyx jackal]

sybau

[dim oracle]

like you and charger

[glacial linden]

flopper js try and keep the ball ontop of your car in freeplay

[arctic anvil]

flipping, driving, boosting, turning, jumping, airroll. Those are the fundamental inputs of the game

[glacial linden]

johan youre a fkin creep dude

[onyx jackal]

report him

[cunning haven]

I've tried that a million times I can only go straight.

[dim oracle]

how?

[glacial linden]

lmao it takes time bro you have to mess around in freep lay

[cunning haven]

I can't turn I can only go straight.

[dim oracle]

no one has yet been able to explain why I would be a creep

[arctic anvil]

that’s too advanced and not needed at your current level

[onyx jackal]

Because asking people if they a girl if they're ask for help is creepy are you gonna say how again?

[dim oracle]

whats creepy about that

[glacial linden]

being able to dribble the ball?

[cunning haven]

But I've had a platinum teammate that can air dribble while spinning the whole way through.

[dim oracle]

its a good thing to help people not creepy

[glacial linden]

bro charger you js shouldn't be giving advice gng

[onyx jackal]

It is cope with it

[glacial linden]

you js dont know hwat youre talking about

[arctic anvil]

yeah stupids going to be stupid. Start from the basics and work your way up

[dim oracle]

how?

[dim oracle]

I agree with you

[onyx jackal]

yeah I blocked johan

I feel free

[dim oracle]

why?

[arctic anvil]

johan join a vc

[glacial linden]

johan we aren't talking about the same topic

[dim oracle]

I dont have a mic rn

[arctic anvil]

lemme chat to you

[cunning haven]

I thought dribbles were the basics. What am I supposed to do? if Dribbles Aren't the basics?

[onyx jackal]

but you did when you offered to boost that girl?

[arctic anvil]

balancing the ball on top of your car is not basic no

[dim oracle]

no I havnt been in a vc with any girls

I talk to them in discord dms and ingame chat

[cunning haven]

Then what are the basics?

Can someone tell me what the basics to Rocket League are?

[onyx jackal]

for you shooting the ball in the net consistently

[arctic anvil]

sorry i was looking for the actual book

[cunning haven]

Well I've sort of got that down. I completed a platinum diamond pack. 100%

[onyx jackal]

haha it doesnt work like that

[cunning haven]

???

[arctic anvil]

fundamental inputs: driving, boosting, jumping, airroll, turning, power slide. The mechanics you need to get down first revolve around these and then combine them the higher up you go

[onyx jackal]

mind if I ask how many hours you got

[cunning haven]

Thank you for telling me the basics.

[arctic anvil]

no idea too many

[onyx jackal]

thought so you seem like you know what your saying

[cunning haven]

I've only got like 5 hours on the game.

[dim oracle]

to me it seemed the opposite

[arctic anvil]

Foundational Mechanics (Singular Inputs):

Driving - The acceleration of your vehicle specifically in a forwards or backwards motions.
Turning - Wheels moving in either the left or right direction.
Boosting - Increases acceleration to max speed and allows flight.
Powersliding - Using the traction on the pitch and momentum to adjust position (on the ground).
Jumping - Force of leaving the ground.
Directional Air Roll - Singular direction of rotation on the car's centre axis.

There are only 6 and together they will create the inputs to all the plays you will ever make.

[onyx jackal]

well no one cares what you think so hush hush

[dim oracle]

why not?

im an expert

[arctic anvil]

Extra focuses:

Boost Jumps - Aerials really, just conceptually and for training purposes. Here you do not want to focus on carrying or following. Just connection with the ball and direction. Here we simplify the broader term of, 'aerial' for better understanding.

Half flips - A back flip that is cancelled half way through. As you air roll to land on your tires. A quick way to turn around. Can help reposition whilst conserving momentum.

Flips - Generic flipping of your car. Using the second jump of a double jump. To propel yourself in a specific direction.

[onyx jackal]

where'd you get these

[arctic anvil]

@cunning haven copy and paste these somewhere else so you remember them

[arctic anvil]

my coach

chef academy baby best in the world

[onyx jackal]

ironic didn't you say your against the idea if coachint

[dim oracle]

I bet im better tho

[onyx jackal]

of*

[arctic anvil]

i’m against the idea of other people self proclaiming being a coach and then showing you they’re not

which is the entire scene

[cunning haven]

Okay, thank you very much.

[onyx jackal]

fair point

[arctic anvil]

thank you for being cool

[dim oracle]

anyone can be a coach if they want to be tho

[cunning haven]

Well, why wouldn't I be cool?

[dim oracle]

you dont need a license to coach people in rocket league

[onyx jackal]

your awesome keep it up

[cunning haven]

Really🥺

[arctic anvil]

which is why no one knows how to play at any level

‘ooh i’m ssl i know it all’

i can tell you from first hand experience you don’t know anything

[dim oracle]

thats a very negative mindset but that isnt suprising from you

[onyx jackal]

and you don't need someone to tell you to hush hush for you to know nobody likes seeing your messages

[arctic anvil]

i’m pretty negative when i talk to creeps

[dim oracle]

no one can know everything

[arctic anvil]

yet you’re an expert

because you’re ssl

[onyx jackal]

you haven't proven to know anything yet "everything"

[dim oracle]

why dont you like me?

[worthy drum]

anyone down to analyse a 2v2

[cunning haven]

Calm down ladies!

[arctic anvil]

😂😂

[cunning haven]

ME!

[worthy drum]

bet check dm

[dim oracle]

I think the fact that ive helped multiple girls get from diamond to gc is proof enough

[arctic anvil]

i don’t think so!

[cunning haven]

Why

[arctic anvil]

he’s still digging omg

[cunning haven]

I love 2s

[onyx jackal]

Act like he ain't there

[arctic anvil]

you can’t analyse a 2s game you just got the game

[onyx jackal]

he feeds on attention

[gritty sonnet]

then can any rank be a coach?

[worthy drum]

he did?

[onyx jackal]

lavamaster the goat

[dim oracle]

all humans need some level of attention

[cunning haven]

What does analyse mean?

[arctic anvil]

5 hours ye

identify problems and break them down

[gritty sonnet]

really?

[dim oracle]

yes

[onyx jackal]

he's 12

[cunning haven]

Yup

[safe turret]

@gilded bluff

[worthy drum]

anyone higher than diamond down to analyse a 2v2

[dim oracle]

I can if youre feminine

[gritty sonnet]

whats your region?

[arctic anvil]

eh yes and no

[gritty sonnet]

why no?

[worthy drum]

why does it matter, ME

[worthy drum]

bro what

[cunning haven]

12 AND THREE QUORTERS😡

[versed bane]

If I were say a plat I would be uncomfortable with anyone below (peak) gc1 coaching personally

[onyx jackal]

my fault.

[dim oracle]

I help feminine people

[gritty sonnet]

just wanna know your time bc its 00:06 for me rn

[arctic anvil]

because you have to have some real life experience playing at a decent level to fully understand what happens in games as the player

[cunning haven]

All good

[worthy drum]

im a plat and ill take tips from diamonds lowkey

[worthy drum]

same

[onyx jackal]

Would it hurt not to be creepy?

[versed bane]

Diamond is just plat with rotation lol

[arctic anvil]

to help better your judgement when coaching or analysing in general

[worthy drum]

i rotate alot tho

[dim oracle]

no thats why im not creepy

[arctic anvil]

not even to better it to round it out

[onyx jackal]

and better aerials lol

[versed bane]

Do your teammates?

[gritty sonnet]

real life experience and coaching experience isn'r the same thing

[worthy drum]

debatable

[versed bane]

I was hard stuck p3 until I stopped committing basically at all unless both my teammates were back

[gritty sonnet]

and coaching is done through coaching experience

[cunning haven]

I don't know how to aerial.I know how to get into the sky fast but I don't know how to put the Ball in the direction I want it to go.

[arctic anvil]

i mean real life as in actually playing in high level games

[gritty sonnet]

ok

[arctic anvil]

as a player

[versed bane]

Press jump learn car up boost jump again

[worthy drum]

i dont know whats the problem im doing to stay in plat

[versed bane]

Oh nvm lmao

[gritty sonnet]

thats obvious

[worthy drum]

threes????

[arctic anvil]

what’s the issue then

[versed bane]

I’m not a great player but I am diamond, I can watch ur replay if you want in like 1hr

[round ingot]

he's been taking my notes

[versed bane]

Yeah both 2s and 3s tbh

[gritty sonnet]

slime has been saying the same and i already knew it wdym

[worthy drum]

ight bet ill send u it take ur time

[versed bane]

I can watch it rn just not talk in vc*

[onyx jackal]

I knew i remembered that concept from someone before

[gritty sonnet]

wdym?

[arctic anvil]

hmmm

[worthy drum]

yea sure

[arctic anvil]

you said real life experience and coaching experience aren’t the same thing

[gritty sonnet]

yeah

[arctic anvil]

now i’m confused

[gritty sonnet]

bc they aren't

thats just facts

[arctic anvil]

yeah they aren’t you’re right

what was your point

in that message

[round ingot]

😉

[gritty sonnet]

bc you said you need real life experience which you do not

sure many people say you need but you don't

[arctic anvil]

i meant real life as in player experience

[worthy drum]

guys chill

[onyx jackal]

they do this all the time it's a hobby

[arctic anvil]

people disagree with that?

then stop talking to them

[worthy drum]

can we all just talk about back post rotations and shadow defending

[gritty sonnet]

this is a common experience with me

[arctic anvil]

who needs to chill

[gritty sonnet]

again that is obvious to understand

[arctic anvil]

aside from johan

[onyx jackal]

back post is the only useful thing spookluke ever said

[arctic anvil]

yup

[worthy drum]

true

[arctic anvil]

until he made a video about whether or not it’s important or not

[versed bane]

What’s wrong with spookluke (only seen like 1 of his videos and joined his disco)

[gritty sonnet]

this

[onyx jackal]

Pedo

[versed bane]

Oh srs?

[worthy drum]

scammer

[onyx jackal]

and scams people to his program

[arctic anvil]

yeah what you don’t think you do?

[gritty sonnet]

i mean i think this is some missunderstanding tbh so what do you mean with "some"?

[onyx jackal]

true scum he is

[gritty sonnet]

hello, how is it going for you?

[versed bane]

Well yeah paid coachin is almost always a scam lol

kinda sad because the concept isn’t that bad it’s just the people doing it

[gritty sonnet]

pro coaching?

[versed bane]

It’s not like spooky is a pro

I know he has pros “helping” but like still

[arctic anvil]

you have to be fimiliar with what it’s like to be in the players shoes, how the game works on a first person level in order to explain your points in a way players understand. If you’ve never played you won’t be accustomed to practical and emotional context

[gritty sonnet]

i mean like its not always

[onyx jackal]

how do creators get away with lying about how to directional air roll

[onyx jackal]

good what about you

[arctic anvil]

because there’s no collective understanding

[versed bane]

known pro player coaching is always paid, meanwhile paid coaching is not always a known pro player

[versed bane]

wdym lie

what do they say-

[gritty sonnet]

so when do you think you do this?

[gritty sonnet]

i mean not slimes

[onyx jackal]

put stick bottom right to turn left or right or wvr

[arctic anvil]

?

can you reword

[onyx jackal]

it's never that simple

[versed bane]

Ahhh okay yeah I see what ur saying

Indeed

[arctic anvil]

penguin where u from

[gritty sonnet]

nobody knows anything about it

[arctic anvil]

like which zoo

[versed bane]

American

Holy autocorrect

[versed bane]

Yeah it’s in NYC

[arctic anvil]

yk karate?

[gritty sonnet]

i mean when can a player have that experience would you say?

[versed bane]

Why do you ask?

[arctic anvil]

what’s gloria like in person

[arctic anvil]

high level experience?

[versed bane]

The restaurant?

[arctic anvil]

it’s a madagascar reference

so was the karate question

[versed bane]

Nah I’m still stuck on the New York part

[lavish mason]

u prolly dont understand what hey are trying to explain if ur car is in neutral position its not right but right and down for one way

[versed bane]

I got the karate reference but not the Gloria one 😭

[gritty sonnet]

this, when can they have this experience

[arctic anvil]

she’s the hippo

[versed bane]

My fault gng

[lavish mason]

cant even look for e femboys nowdays🥀

[arctic anvil]

gc1-2+

[onyx jackal]

god forbid

[arctic anvil]

reason why it’s vague is because the game is played terribly

[gritty sonnet]

ok, so it wasn't a missunderstanding

[lavish mason]

u gotta play league adc for that

works really well ur support is always a femboy

[arctic anvil]

there was definitely a misunderstanding somewhere on someone’s part

[onyx jackal]

when we told him that last time I kid you not he said they're not loyal

[lavish mason]

atleast from what ive heard i m the one who playes supprot

[arctic anvil]

i’m not going back to find out though i’m assuming i cleared it up

[lavish mason]

tbh he might be right looking at their gameplay

[gritty sonnet]

you do not need to be gc1+ to coach

[arctic anvil]

no, but you need to have experience playing at that level

[gritty sonnet]

good, did you get any higher ranked?

[gritty sonnet]

so just peak gc1 you mean then?

[onyx jackal]

on and off d2 though I'm almost diamond in 1s

[arctic anvil]

no. Being that rank helps understanding of mechanics but it in no way makes you able to coach anyone

[gritty sonnet]

nice

[arctic anvil]

it just helps to have and rounds out your knowledge a bit better

[halcyon hill]

was johan banned?

[gritty sonnet]

theory can be learnet many other ways then real life experience

[onyx jackal]

No

[gritty sonnet]

no

[arctic anvil]

@dim oracle

[halcyon hill]

the only admin is in do not disturb

wth is wrong with this server

[onyx jackal]

an admin saw the chat

[halcyon hill]

and?

[onyx jackal]

I got a message deleted

[arctic anvil]

lmao

[halcyon hill]

bro...

[onyx jackal]

great system they got here

[arctic anvil]

of course but i don’t understand your point

[halcyon hill]

tmrw i hope another admin will care

i dont want this creep in this server

[gritty sonnet]

i can know exactly how to actually do a mech but still not being able to do it myself, but btw do you mean this about game sense too?

[arctic anvil]

theory alone can’t teach everything is my point

[lavish mason]

tbh nothing to ban

[onyx jackal]

he did harass a minor

[arctic anvil]

if we’re being serious it’s probably not bannable

[onyx jackal]

sad

[lavish mason]

in this channel?

[gritty sonnet]

ok, then i am just gonna say, have a good day and bye

[arctic anvil]

have a good day man

[onyx jackal]

yeah I forgot the name of the kid

[arctic anvil]

ttg

ima go as well nice talking to you guys and you bull

[onyx jackal]

cya man

[lavish mason]

TTG?

[onyx jackal]

yeah dog profile

[lavish mason]

i mean from what i ve seen that can be normal trolling

[onyx jackal]

don't think he's trollig

last time he actually boosted a girl

[lavish mason]

i dont think that from any that its stull sent so if deleted something i wouldnt see that but there was no harrasment

even if he wasnt trolling then just"you do u and go about ur day"

no reason to gank on the guy like hes pushing sidewave as top laner

mb too much league today

[onyx jackal]

oh wait

you were there last time too right

[hazy lodge]

guys im plat but i know how to flip reset should i go with flip reset mechs or is it too early to focus on that?

[sharp ginkgo]

[odd plover]

Flip resets on plat💔

[hazy lodge]

[odd plover]

I mean If thats fun For u then is good but If ur trying to rank up it has 0 sense ur doing that

[hazy lodge]

what should i practice?

[odd plover]

Powershoots and dont miss easy shoots

[hazy lodge]

should i learn arieals?

[round ingot]

DM if you need coaching

[cyan sage]

im bored ill help u learn some mechs hmu

[formal pewter]

Anyone wanna 1v1? I gotta get better at them

@hazy lodge if you are plat. Just focus on basic powershots and dribbling skills

[brazen dune]

anyone here eu i aint played in a while cas 2s

[shrewd kite]

How can I put power on Ariels because I hit them everytime with little to no power

[latent night]

[keen berry]

Hey im a gold/plat player and i need someone to teach me how to air dribble

[orchid finch]

???

Can anyone help me get better

Pls

[pale mason]

no bro work on dribbles and positioning

[keen berry]

😭

[pale mason]

you dont even need to know air dribbles until around c2 ngl

[keen berry]

People are doing it in my games

And they are like gods me and my friend can't stop them

[pale mason]

work on your ariels

[keen berry]

Can u teach me a bit pls

[pale mason]

what air roll do you use

[keen berry]

What's air roll?

[pale mason]

you cant be serious

to spin in the air?

[keen berry]

Oh wym which i use

[pale mason]

like left, right, or free

[pulsar prairie]

anyone wanna do a 3v3

[keen berry]

I just hold i go left sometimes right

And sometimes free

[pale mason]

i recommend to use left or right what ever one you feel most comfortable with

and bind it to a good button and fly from one goal to another while holding air roll and try not to fall down

that would help your ariels a ton

then from there you could learn air dribbles if you really wanted to

[keen berry]

Alr thanks but i stillwant someone to show me

Im on console btw

[pale mason]

would you want to go in a priv match rn and i could helpo alittle

Hello Earth to all these RL nerds 🤣

If they ain’t answering me, what makes you think they’re gonna answer you 😭😭🤣🤣

Exactly

[storm atlas]

How do i stop missing the ball

Can somebody teach me on how to get better

[flint arch]

Idk if anyone else is on but I’m going to try and answer some of the more recent requests

[flint arch]

Firstly, I’d suggest making a post in the LFG channel

What rank are you and what mechanics are you interested in

[flint arch]

Easiest solution? Play more and play 1’s, it gives you the most time on the ball making your defense, challenges, and shooting all the more crucial

[onyx jackal]

practice you can't magically stop missing the ball

[onyx jackal]

I doubt it's your mechs

[cyan sage]

Anyone has tips for sliver 3

[glacial grotto]

Any tips for a gc1/c3?

[gritty sonnet]

If your actively trying to rank up, then I don't think your game sense is good

[warm kettle]

I've been hard stuck gold and I have pretty solid mechanics and can keep up in plat lobbies does anyone have any tips how to be good enough so that even if I get teammates who throw I can win half the time

[gritty sonnet]

Hit ball into net consistently

[dry kettle]

YE sure what's it called

[trail patrol]

I came back from quitting rl for a while and am now learning air roll left whats the most effective and efficient way to get used to it

[onyx jackal]

lesfold method or whatever its called

only youtube video I've seen that doesn't blatantly lie

[trail patrol]

Thanks for recommendation will watch

[onyx jackal]

np

[gritty sonnet]

You can't really give that good tips on power Shots

[gritty sonnet]

Hit ball into net more consistently

[flint plaza]

#gameplay-tips message

[gritty sonnet]

Hit ball into net with power more consistent

[gritty sonnet]

What?

[flint plaza]

?

[gritty sonnet]

Nvm

[gritty sonnet]

You don't need it there either

[gritty sonnet]

Do you just want to learn or do you think it will help you the most on ranking up?

[flint plaza]

watch your replays

[gritty sonnet]

Did you get help?

[gritty sonnet]

Thought you were just pointing towards gameplay tips nothing else, I got tunnel vision and didn't see the the message it was pointing to

[flint plaza]

I thought that aswell lol

np

[warm kettle]

Wdym

[gritty sonnet]

Do you know what a replay is in rl?

[warm kettle]

Yes but why?

[gritty sonnet]

Save a replay when you don't know why you lost and watch it

Or when you think you lost bc of a garbage teammate

[warm kettle]

True but it also doesn't help when just about every time I get teammates that ball chase bump and mess up shots

[gritty sonnet]

Watch the replay from your teammates view

Or just simply in ranked play passive

If you think you got the skill for plat and you can't get out of gold, then it's probably your adaptability with your teammate and bc most people in this game like to play aggressive just play passive

[frail zinc]

giving super hyper generic advice without inquiring at all about the specific issues at play is crazy work

[warm kettle]

Thxs

[frail zinc]

just playing passive as a blanket statement is some criminally bad advice

[gritty sonnet]

Me?

[frail zinc]

yes

[gritty sonnet]

Most golds have the same problems

[frail zinc]

Most golds would also benifit from spending more time improving consistency and reading the play rather then trying to use 1 thought to play the game

[gritty sonnet]

And if fallen thinks he really have the skills for plat then it's the playstyle and also I don't fallen has the skills for plat bc playstyle rarely matters at gold but one way to figure it out is by doing this

[winter idol]

guys

[onyx jackal]

thats a dumb statement

[frail zinc]

that kind of advice is why you see so many of the low ranks just tunned visioning towards back post

or trying to play in a super specific way because they saw one tick tok telling them they should do it

[winter idol]

when i was c1 i played like one but then when i played with my friend he took me down to d2. I need help on how to go up again. Bc now im playing like a d2 and not c1

[gritty sonnet]

Are you saying that bc you don't think it is true or just bc you believe in me?

[frail zinc]

your one piece of advice about watching the replays from his teamates perspective is solid advice

[onyx jackal]

because it's the only realistic option

[keen berry]

Both its comes in handy a lot in game

[frail zinc]

and is a genuially good way to try and figure out what may have caused awkward situations before the play actually happened

[flint plaza]

in your replay
you will find yourself making it so easy for the other team to score (leaving the net open basically and giving them easier angles to shoot unnecessarily)

you will also find yourself missing easy opportunities (going too early or waiting too long or too far)

you can watch pro gameplay and you will find huge difference because they hit the ball cleanly (forcing opponents to stretch for it while they land facing the path of their next move or whatever u wanna call it) instead of orbiting around it for 3 seconds then eventually hit it into the wall and slamming their head into the wall then watch the other team score.

[gritty sonnet]

@frail zinc if your so against it just say your own advice than instead of wasting time trying to bad mouth me

[winter idol]

guys how do i shot like when i tilt my car to shot with power from different angles

like when u tilt ur car a little bit and shot

[frail zinc]

im not againts all of your advice, hence why I complemented parts of your comments

[gritty sonnet]

You mean air roll?

[winter idol]

nt

ima show a pic

[gritty sonnet]

Though he did say he just founds it useless when the teammate ball chase

[onyx jackal]

Air roll shot?

[gritty sonnet]

Playing passive and aggressive when needed?

[flint plaza]

angles are all about your jump timing rly
don't jump when you are not yet facing the ball or close to it and don't jump when your car is not in the angle between ball and net

[winter idol]

lavba master dm me i can shos ss

[flint plaza]

wdym ballchase

[gritty sonnet]

Here

[frail zinc]

trying to use pro gameplay as a significantly lower rank isn't always the best idea, lots of the rotations and spacing, as well as the plays made is based off the skill of the lobby, and respect of players in certain situations, while you can take some things from pro gameplay and apply it to any rank, (recoveries, boost management shot placement, ect) trying to look at the gameplay as a whole might not be the best.

[flint plaza]

focus on your own improvement
gold is a rank where you can win a 1v3
but it's not actually a 1v3 like you are trying to say
you are exagerating

[flint plaza]

I am talkgin about "getting a clean contact" not rotations

[flint plaza]

and recoveries

[flint plaza]

maybe also pathing like in the boost management video by squishy (still a great video till this day btw)

[gritty sonnet]

I think kevpert is still really good on that too

[flint plaza]

I mean,
it's the same title but completely different topic

both videos are great but they are focusing on different things

[gritty sonnet]

Just meant boost management as the title, has actually never watched the squishy video

[warm kettle]

I'm not exaggerating tho

[flint plaza]

send me a replay

[gritty sonnet]

Are they driving the ball into your own net?

[warm kettle]

Like 1/4th of the time yes

And like directly not even to the corner to recover

[frail zinc]

Try and pay attention to how your teamate is playing at the start of the game. If they are someone that likes to bang the ball a lot, and doesn't like to keep possession, try to set your self up to be in a spot to follow up the ball after they bang it down field or try and put yourself in the best spot to maintain pressure without over committing,

If they are someone who doesn't like to go for the ball, or tend to play quite passively, you may have to try and be comfortable with "ball chasing" and trying your best to stay on the ball a bit more, trying to bait opponents in freeing up the mid field for you to pass to your teammate, the biggest thing to worry about when doing this is making sure you are not leaving your teammate in 2v1s or overcommitting if your last man,

If your teammate is double committing with you lots or "bumping you off the ball", all you can try to do is be extra aware of where they are at and just try to make it through the game, be extra cautious of double commits even if it may be your ball and try not to get too tilted

[gritty sonnet]

Insane how long it can be just for the single word adaptability

[frail zinc]

telling someone be adaptable who clearly doesn't understand how to do that or else they would be doing that isn't good advice

[gritty sonnet]

It covers almost my entire phone screen

[flint plaza]

squishy's tutorial focuses on when and when not to use boost,
how to collect boost efficiently,
boost pad timings,
how to maintain pressure on offense,
how to defend when the other team is trying to starve you,
boost conservation,
...

[frail zinc]

realistically id have to see how they play and figure out what they are specifically struggling with as far as playing around teammates to give actual good advice

[gritty sonnet]

Literally never said anything against your text, just made a joke on how it can be so long just for the word adaptability

[warm kettle]

Idc if they steal a goal but if they just bump me constantly for no reason I start getting a little tilted

[frail zinc]

but giving some specific info about a couple of the most common situations and breaking it down a bit so they have a few things to watch out for when trying to apply it to their gameplay can help when trying to learn how to play in a more "adaptable" way

[gritty sonnet]

On personal level

[frail zinc]

if your teammates are dribbling you around the field there really isn't anything you can do about it

[frail zinc]

all you can do is do your best to try and turn the game around and just reset the mental for the next one

[gritty sonnet]

What about an honest mistake?

[frail zinc]

the quicker you can make it out of gold the less you should see stuff like that

not that you wont, but it usually starts to happen a bit less as you make your way up

[gritty sonnet]

Is it just boost management Squishy? As the title

[warm kettle]

Several times is not a mistake

[frail zinc]

and those situations become more of a accidental bump rather then intentionally hitting you multiple times

[gritty sonnet]

It can be

[warm kettle]

U go ahead and believe that

[gritty sonnet]

Just starts to instead of bumping being too close and then better

[frail zinc]

several times while looking at the ball and not seeing his car, and his car kind of getting stuck on them, maybe, several times with ball cam off making micro adjustments to continue to hit them, prob not

[gritty sonnet]

In a row?

[flint plaza]

yes
I tried to put the title of the video in yt search
but yt search was too dumb to find it lol
just "boost management squishy" will give you the best result

[gritty sonnet]

Have done it, have seen it and have been the victim of that

[warm kettle]

Yes several times on several instances in a single match without a ball being involved

[gritty sonnet]

They are probably just mad then

Or trolling

[warm kettle]

Exactly and I get those constantly in my ranked matches

[gritty sonnet]

Then just do like @frail zinc said

[gritty sonnet]

Here

[gritty sonnet]

Can you send a replay?

[warm kettle]

I don't have any of teammates doing anything

[worldly trail]

Guys hows the quality on the last clip https://youtube.com/shorts/LwQXSks7qZY?si=2cGCxYzKDd4BajHM

[lavish mason]

not really its almost all feel and expirence

[lavish mason]

there only one faker and he play ahri mid

[worldly trail]

Two

[sterile igloo]

Can someone help me reach plat in 2s

[zinc perch]

Can an1 help analyze a replay of mine for 3s? im trying to improve

[onyx jackal]

you'll just derank back to whatever rank you were

[hard marten]

yes i did

[sterile igloo]

Only if someone teaches me mechanics

[onyx jackal]

oh I thought you meant getting boosted

[sterile igloo]

Can you teach me?

[onyx jackal]

if you wanna learn mechanics go watch a YouTube tutorial

just don't watch spookyluke

[molten fjord]

W advice

[sharp ginkgo]

why are my tm8s always putting me in 2v1s then leaving the games at 3 min man i carnt rank up with this

[onyx jackal]

so your saying you can't rank up because of your tm8s?

[serene spade]

this^

[onyx jackal]

I made the mistake of watching his vids when I first started playing

[serene spade]

the shorts yeah

everytime I saw one I was like "Hm, maybe he's gonna tell me something I didn't already know..." It never happened.

[onyx jackal]

only useful thing that he ever said is backpost yet he explained it badly

[serene spade]

based

[sharp ginkgo]

my current tm8 is afk so yes

[onyx jackal]

what's your rank

[serene spade]

I had to relearn rotation once I found a really good but very unknown YT channel who was a pro coach uploading some clips of his coachings

[sharp ginkgo]

d3

[sharp ginkgo]

hes just spinning on his roof in net

[onyx jackal]

lethamyr road to ssl helped me alot

also made me realise mechs aren't a must

[flint plaza]

how are you not deranking then
it has to be 3 or 4 leavers/afk out of 30 games or something

[onyx jackal]

unlike spookyluke who tries to convince people diamonds need to know how to air dribble

it's not bad learning it but it's defnetly not a must

[sharp ginkgo]

im about to this game

[serene spade]

yes, and also Grifflicious really good channel

[onyx jackal]

never heard of him will definetly check him out

[onyx jackal]

play 1s if you can't stop complaining abt your tm8s

[serene spade]

You have to keep in mind, if you're not a troll, the chance of having one in the opponent team is twice as high as in your own (yes this gets inflated by parties, but you get the message)

[flint plaza]

wanna play some casual
I feel like you are gonna find it easier to practice carrying and 1v2ing when I am on your team lol

[serene spade]

He made a really good video on directional air roll, which basically got me started on it. Thats not the unknown guy I was mentioning above tho.

[onyx jackal]

I wish I started learning directional air roll sooner im much more used to free air roll now

[sharp ginkgo]

https://medal.tv/games/rocket-league/clips/kGMAP2Pmgz6TUeZI2?invite=cr-MSw1b3MsNDExODc2OTUw

[onyx jackal]

did he make the one with the feedback loop near the end?

[serene spade]

I'm keyboard and free air roll is not really a thing on here kekw

[serene spade]

not sure what you mean, but also its ages ago since I watched that particular vid

[onyx jackal]

It's something some creators use to help explain how to learn directional air roll

[tight scroll]

these are the binds ive used for ages, are these good enough to get better or should i try and change? im diamond rn and maybe want to get to gc at some point

driving/steering standard

jump a
boost b
powerslide lb
air roll lb
ball cam y
air roll right rb
air roll left no bind

[serene spade]

The main message that he adressed was "Everybody keeps telling 'just go in freeplay and play around with air roll, eventuelly it will work itself out', but what if that doesnt work for you, then I've got something for you" Major W video.

[flint plaza]

lol
I kinda know what he is thinking
but still
in situations like this maybe he is gonna keep going for bumps but on the other team so try to take advantage of that
I will try to do something like this but without bumping you

[onyx jackal]

would have loved this video when i first started learning directional air roll lmao

[flat night]

ganer method!

brute force!

[serene spade]

Maybe, but not at all comprehensive 🤷 and especially on keyboard its a little bit different with microadjustments.

[serene spade]

Yeah I was so glad to have that one pop up for me.

[quick spindle]

ganer the og goat

[flat night]

Sure. The ganer method is mainly about giving you full control of your nose in any position and also granting a better understanding about how the speed of your inputs affects the movement of your nose. I would say that his method gives you a good foundation and from then on you have to figure out how to make certain movements more precise and measured

[serene spade]

can you point me to a video about this?

[serene spade]

Also what exactly do you mean by "speed of your inputs"?

[onyx jackal]

I think he means adjustments

[serene spade]

thats not really a clarification. Like speed means fast. What is fast? Is it how close different inputs are together? Is it how far do I pull the stick? Is it how long do I hold inputs?

gtg unfortunately cya later guys

[onyx jackal]

cya man

[bright plume]

I need to find something for helping me understand what I really should be specifically practicing for me to get into gc2 other than general advice of be faster and freeplay

[flat night]

Yes basically.

[flat night]

Go into a lobby with the desire to win.

[onyx jackal]

mental cant take you that far xD

[flat night]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AlwUfOqFN4

[bright plume]

It's mostly just feeling like I hit my ceiling and it's hard for me to see how to break out of it

[flat night]

Ask the 16 year old pros if they ever got coached before reaching top 100. You'll be surprised.

[gritty sonnet]

Depends how you look at it

[gritty sonnet]

Well, I gotta say, how do you get that answer from them?

[onyx jackal]

as in in-game wanting to win won't do much to help

[gritty sonnet]

Your mind decides your actions, your mood effects how well you do every action

[flat night]

Check your replay, identify your mistakes and correct them.

[gritty sonnet]

Now compared how good you actual are now ofc

[onyx jackal]

yeah was just about to say

can't immediately make better decisions if you have bad game sense

[flat night]

It will very much. A person with a negative mindset will go up against a "smurf", give up, and say: "WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO PLAY AGAINST SMURFS? THIS IS UNFAIR!"
While a person with a positive mindset will say: "What are they doing that I'm not doing? How can I use this opportunity to improve?"

[flat night]

You build your own game sense. Be creative, have fun.

[onyx jackal]

completely valid but i mean mid game

[flat night]

DM on disc.

[onyx jackal]

as in while playing

[bright plume]

I do, I don't have much issue seeing the problem, it's more so like mechanical inconsistency, I can sit and practice for however long but I feel like im missing something cuz I don't feel like im doing anything remotely better after a few hundred more hours, so I feel like there is something I just don't understand

[gritty sonnet]

How do you practice?

[gritty sonnet]

Kinda what I said

[flat night]

Yeah I see your point. A balance must be struck between focusing on winning and analyzing your mistakes while in game. When faced with a very mechanical opponent you can approach the situation in multiple different ways:

1. Play more defensively, give him a lot of respect.
2. Play incredibly disrespectfully / go full monkey mode
3. Try to level up your own mechanics so that you can match him.

The best approach is to quickly pick 1 option and stick to it.

[gritty sonnet]

As I said above

[bright plume]

Shooting is map packs with challenges, train packs where I try to hit into the net in different ways/spots at full power, dribbling challenge runs, trying to be very specific for airals etc. My first touches are generally not great, I do alot of under or overshooting off walls, flicks take me too long to really control, I can't speed flip for kick off to save my life. I feel like im just average to the point where I can't do much and when I do it's so sloppy and nowhere near what the other 1500 players are doing cuz I get steamed if they're remotely better

[gritty sonnet]

I mean you kinda don't want to pick "one" of those options, isn't predictability a issue then?

[bright plume]

Like I feel like im putting in the work I should but I feel like im not getting anything out from it

[flat night]

You want to flow smoothly. The point of training is to make your mechanics as easy as ABC. As automatic as breathing. While playing you need to TRUST in your training, you need to have confidence, you need to LET go. If you constantly keep doubting your ability to be consistent with certain mechanics then that same doubt will limit you.
A man can be afraid to lose and he can also be afraid to win. Your goal is to identify which state you are in and then take the appropriate measures to balance / counter it.

[gritty sonnet]

So be confident but not overconfident

[flat night]

Not really. It's just the general approach to 1 game. Of course you will be balanced in your playstyle, to a degree, but in this unique scenario I do think that a decision ahs to be made.

[flat night]

Yeah you can fluctuate between the 2. To better understand where the perfect middle ground is.

I personally opt for over-confidence which then gets balanced out by unconfidence.

[gritty sonnet]

I just meant you can't do the same thing over and over again

[bright plume]

My question is more of how should I better do the training. My mentality is generally fine other than feeling bad that I did poorly occasionally due to doing things sloppily

[gritty sonnet]

Well what do you think or feel you struggle with in mechs

Btw @flat night are you a philosopher?

[onyx jackal]

good question lmao

[flat night]

It's true. The general mental approach looks like this though:
Negative: "I'll be really defensive and submissive to give myself a chance here"
Positive: "Oh you think that you can hit a double flip reset on me bud? I'll show you!"
Either one can get you a good result, but I opt for the positive option.

[flat night]

Not really. I just like to look at the world this way.

[gritty sonnet]

just wondered bc it feels like you are

[bright plume]

Unfortunately all of them, when playing before over the years I did more of just playing the game rather than sitting down and doing mech practice however im at the point where im going to get filtered because of my inconsistencies

[flat night]

Measuring ur abilities and putting yourself under pressure is great for improvement. Before training you should feel anxiety and after hitting a milestone like : "20 perfect flip resets in a row", you should feel great joy.

[gritty sonnet]

Well there isn't really anything better than just practice

[flat night]

I do like to philosophize sometimes

[gritty sonnet]

Sometimes!? Feels like everytime

[flat night]

lol!

[gritty sonnet]

Well for the past 20 minutes

Not the best representation of one's personality but it's the best I got atm

[onyx jackal]

all started with mental cant take you that far

[gritty sonnet]

By the writer bull

[flat night]

You need to eliminate the doubt. Don't be afraid to WIN! Don't be overly critical. If you've trained the mechs enough then you should be consistent. Now be consistent.

[onyx jackal]

can you convince me I'm ssl

[flat night]

What's your rank?

[onyx jackal]

diamond

[gritty sonnet]

Get your limited addition now on bull@..

[onyx jackal]

😭😭

[flat night]

Wow. It's going to be a difficult task.

[onyx jackal]

not for you

[gritty sonnet]

Comon now philosopher, you can do it, didn't you say just be confident

[onyx jackal]

crazy how deep of an understanding there is to rl

[gritty sonnet]

Not that crazy

How long did it take to make rl?

[onyx jackal]

it's a car soccer game

[flat night]

What's separating you from the SSL rank? 6 months of time, given that you manage to maintain a laser-focus and a winning mentality. The journey begins today, here, in the ETERNAL NOW. There is no future, there is no past, only the present moment. If you manage to realize that you are already an SSL then nothing will stop you from taking what is yours.

[onyx jackal]

A simple concept no?

[onyx jackal]

😭😭😭

mind also convincing me I have crazy mechs

[flat night]

Go. Go. Take it.

[flat night]

You can only convince yourself!

[gritty sonnet]

Lol

[onyx jackal]

I feel like you'd love watching losfelds vids

[gritty sonnet]

Now how big of a chance is that you just made chatgpt do that

[flat night]

Also, heres another great mental tip.
Losing should raise your confidence level. Why?
Because with every loss you gain great lessons, but you also lose MMR.
So in the next game you'll face a lesser opponent against whom you can utilize the lessons that you learnt from facing greater opposition.
Thus, the higher my losing streak is the higher my level of confidence rises.

[gritty sonnet]

That's some mental fortitude right there

[onyx jackal]

whats your rank

[flat night]

Platinum.

2k hours.

[gritty sonnet]

So can you give any other advice than something with mental?

[gritty sonnet]

Also I have faced higher level players the lower I went one session so that doesn't always come true

[onyx jackal]

it's mental thogh

[gritty sonnet]

?

[onyx jackal]

what he's saying isn't the case most of the time it's just a way to motivate ones self

[gritty sonnet]

Well yeah

[flat night]

Jk btw 🤣 I'm gc1 nearing gc2

[flat night]

More lessons!

So you can bounce back harder!

[flat night]

Go into freeplay, drive around while passing the ball to yourself and practice powerslide cuts, different types of catches, sharp angle turns, clearances, strong shots into the wall that you follow up with a redirect or a controlled touch on the wall.

It's certainly the best thing you can practice

Atleast until you become proficient in controlling the ball

[onyx jackal]

what's your region

[flat night]

EU

[onyx jackal]

mind a quick priv match?

[flat night]

Sure

[onyx jackal]

I love playing higher level players and saving the replays

It's okay, how many attempts did it take

quite humiliating but appreciate you trying, i think

[onyx jackal]

I cant find him while trying to mention

[ionic talon]

What was the score

[halcyon hill]

im doing it often, but i miss the goal

[safe turret]

Doing that 75% of the time in the middle of the game will just give you a disadvantage so hopefully you are learning it for freestyle and not ranking up.

[onyx jackal]

11-2 first game 9-0 second

[halcyon hill]

[onyx jackal]

are you immune to delayed kick offs

[flat night]

What did you learn from the games?

[onyx jackal]

I take unessecary risk

[flat night]

Im just goofy with kickoffs tbh. My opps always complain

[flat night]

You need to be more confident in your defence.

[steep musk]

Same

[flat night]

More shadowing, less bad tackles.

[charred galleon]

what i dont understand

[charred galleon]

what is anyones username'

?

[gritty sonnet]

Practice

[onyx jackal]

I got abused

atleast I got some new replays

[gritty sonnet]

Nice

[flat night]

You can. Either you bait a flick with a fake challenge and then run back to net or you challenge me confidently. You did neither. You just stood there waiting. Also don't be afraid to go for backwards challenges and understand that if you are close enough to me then I can't flick it past you because you will REACT.

Gotta be balanced

Also work on your fundamental mechanics

Like just sticking with the ball either by getting controlled touches or carrying the ball.

[onyx jackal]

yeah that's a good point I can't do much when i get possesion

[gritty sonnet]

Practice

[serene spade]

yeah this is in fact kinda the same as what Grifflicious was talking about, except he broke it down into more and smaller steps and focused it more one air roll explicitly. Thanks tho for the link.

[flat night]

Yeah. You need to become so comfortable with your mechanics / touches that you don't even need to focus on them anymore, you can instead focus on your opponent.

[flat night]

np

[onyx jackal]

I cant help but only practice air mechs in freeplay

or I just do back board defense packs

[serene spade]

or do 1s therapy, thats really good practice for watching your opponents if you find yourself losing awareness often.

[onyx jackal]

I love 1s too bad I'm only p3 in it

[flat night]

Also remember that guarding your net instead of challenging me in midfield can sometimes be a very good option. Because if we are in midfield then I have a wide variety of methods to get past you, but when i'm near your net I'll have to slot the ball into a rather tiny hole and if I fail then the ball will bounce off your backboard and setup a nice opportunity for you.

[flat night]

What is 1s therapy?

[onyx jackal]

ah my thought process is definetly lacking then

[flat night]

I understand. Just knocking the ball around can be so great for improvement though. You gain an understanding of how to take tiny touches to make your opponent awkward while maintaining a strong position yourself.

[onyx jackal]

just now hit me that I turn my mind blank when you have possession and hope for the best

[flat night]

Yeah man! You have to be thinking constantly and pick a solid plan for defence.

[serene spade]

Well you just play a couple of 1s games everytime you boot up the game. Stop when you get mad. Stop when you get bored. 2-3 as warmup are enough, then you can proceed to whatever mode you are usually playing.
Its really effective for people that never play 1s to boost their micro. And its also not to annoying cause its only a couple of minutes and it can replace freeplay warmups.

[flat night]

I've recently fallen in love with 1v1s so I don't really touch other modes too much.

[gritty sonnet]

Why not shadow defense, also you have way more time if the opponent just stays in net

[flat night]

Yes shadowing is great. You can shadow with the intention of baiting a shot.

[serene spade]

yeah it was more of advice to @onyx jackal it was just your message I was responding to

[flat night]

I see.

[onyx jackal]

would you say i should work on my flicks or aerials

[serene spade]

yes

[gritty sonnet]

I feel sorry for your loss

Jk

[onyx jackal]

I find myself playing 1s whenever I get frustrated of 2s

[flat night]

Flicks, powerslide cuts, general ball control on the ground because this will also help you setup aerial opportunities 🙂

[serene spade]

W take. Best to guard the net out of the shadow in most situation.

[onyx jackal]

yeah but there has to be a sweet spot with guarding the net and pressuring

[serene spade]

yes thats what makes shadow defense hard and effective.

[onyx jackal]

I think he suggested that because of how bad I am at the game

[serene spade]

p3 in 1s is fine

not everybody has to be gc

[gritty sonnet]

Do you mean shadow defending while guarding the net or what?

The word "out" gets me confused in your sentence

[onyx jackal]

I just wanna get a champ tournament winner tag then I done with this stupid game

[onyx jackal]

keep in mind I'm still on and off d2 I'm d1 rn

[serene spade]

Define guarding the net as "If they shoot on the net, you can save it", then you can guard the net best when you're in shadow defense in many situations. Talking about 1s ofc, in 2s and 3s backpost is often pretty good as well.

[serene spade]

@gritty sonnet

[ionic talon]

You don't need to shadow defense in plat

[onyx jackal]

plat 3 1v1 yes

[ionic talon]

Absolutely not lol

[gritty sonnet]

Close to diamond

[onyx jackal]

agree to disagree then

[serene spade]

Thats like saying you dont need mechanics in gc, but they certainly useful.

[ionic talon]

No I could easily get out of plat 3 in 1s with no shadow defense

[onyx jackal]

yeah but if I know how to do it why wouldn't I do it?

[gritty sonnet]

Yeah thought you meant that, just wanted to clarify

[serene spade]

Maybe, but would you say you could get out of plat 3 easily with shadow defense?

[ionic talon]

Yes but it would take longer

[gritty sonnet]

If you know how to use them

[serene spade]

maybe, but if you want to climb you have to learn it eventually. Some people are not playing for getting a better rank, they are playing for getting a better skill level.

[onyx jackal]

^^^

[gritty sonnet]

Bull just said he is playing for champ

[onyx jackal]

I'm playing ones so I can get better at 2s

[ionic talon]

Yes eventually you do

[onyx jackal]

a higher rank would come with a higher skill level

[serene spade]

yes, but not the other way round.

[onyx jackal]

I'm not playing for champ in 1s

it's what i use to improve

[gritty sonnet]

That's normal and I think most people your talking to understands that too

[serene spade]

And also something I can recommend

[gritty sonnet]

I mean you can get to c1 right now with the 1s rank you have rn

[onyx jackal]

Im definetly better in 1s than 2s tbf

I find it hard to adapt most of the time

He means playing ones

[serene spade]

To use 1s to improve, thats something I can recommend. I was just affirming that.

[gritty sonnet]

That's playtime and analyzing

[gritty sonnet]

Ok

[ionic talon]

Yea it does help a lot unfortunately not for me though lol

[serene spade]

Pointing back to this @gritty sonnet but you probably know that already.

[charred galleon]

does anyone want to play?

[onyx jackal]

#looking-for-group

[serene spade]

I wouldn't know why but if you say so maybe 🤷

[gritty sonnet]

@onyx jackal we need @flat night for @ionic talon

[onyx jackal]

haha fr

Hes mid game tho unfortunately

[ionic talon]

I would beat him tbf

[gritty sonnet]

Not what I meant

[onyx jackal]

Im here for the entertainment

[serene spade]

most based take I've seen here so far

[ionic talon]

What'd you mean

[gritty sonnet]

If you scroll up you will understand

[onyx jackal]

he's a philosopher

[ionic talon]

I was c3 in 1s and 2s at a point and now I'm gc3 in 2s but d3 in 1s lol

[gritty sonnet]

He got that motivational speech ready for anyone

[onyx jackal]

haha fr

I feel like ones ranks are getting closer to twos ranks

[ionic talon]

Oh right I see

[onyx jackal]

I'm playing much worst player in p3 than I used to

[charred galleon]

anyone wanna play? i cant typhe in looking for a group yet

[gritty sonnet]

Are you d3 or d2 in 2s?

[onyx jackal]

d1 div 4 rn just deranked

[charred galleon]

?

[serene spade]

Which means one of 3 things:

• You dont play 1s and you would be higher there if you did
• You're bad at the skills that are necessary for 1s but other skills are above average enough to get you to gc3 in 2s
• You're boosted in 2s

[gritty sonnet]

Your gonna meet c3s and c2s in 2s at d2 in 1s

[ionic talon]

Ok it's definitely not 3 but probably 1+2 combined

[onyx jackal]

There's a reason that I'm stuck in p3 xD

[gritty sonnet]

What an accusation

[serene spade]

Then playing 1s would probably help you increase your skill. Doesn't mean ofc that you have to choose to do it.

[onyx jackal]

he's smooth with it

[marble stag]

Pls someone duos gold

[gritty sonnet]

#looking-for-group

[ionic talon]

It would help me in 1s I have never understood the 'play 1s to get better at 2s' thing

[serene spade]

If I missed an option feel free to point it out 🙂

[onyx jackal]

There's another gold guy who was js asking or a duo scroll up

[gritty sonnet]

Lying

[ionic talon]

I play 2s to get better at 2s

[marble stag]
