then go queue and get back to diamond

[obtuse warren]

I genuinely do deserve diamond bro look at a replay I have

[onyx jackal]

I swear I've heard this a billion times

[obtuse warren]

unless I have a good tm8 my rank yes ill play but that’s rare

[onyx jackal]

how old are you

[shy vortex]

your supposed to be able to adjust to how ur tm8s are playing

[hard talon]

Diamond is an important rank to master, Why do people tryna get out so fast with boosting and teaming up with better players? Diamond teaches you versatility just stay in it and get out of it legit, You will actually be ready for champ and wont get knocked back to diamond

[onyx jackal]

[shy vortex]

Facts

[onyx jackal]

The ego is massive

[shy vortex]

[obtuse warren]

????

[onyx jackal]

.

.

[obtuse warren]

[spring lotus]

GRG Gianni

[obtuse warren]

I’m getting the replay

[onyx jackal]

good boy

[spring lotus]

so? diamond is diamond

[graceful lagoon]

tthis guy

[obtuse warren]

2 ranks different from eachother

[onyx jackal]

keep in mind he was asking for a boost to diamond

[spring lotus]

1s is different

im plat in 1s

[obtuse warren]

what plat

1 -2- 3

[spring lotus]

plat 3 or smth idk i barly play

[obtuse warren]

yeah bro im good

[onyx jackal]

all talk no bark

[obtuse warren]

I’ve been diamond

[onyx jackal]

bite*

[obtuse warren]

bro we are diff ranks from eachother what do you expect

your acting like you would go against a ssl or gc

[onyx jackal]

js put the replay in the bag bro

[obtuse warren]

im getting it sybau

[shy vortex]

ur js arguing at nothing

[onyx jackal]

he truly thinks he's different from the other plats that think they deserve diamond

though they all think that lmao

[obtuse warren]

if I can keep up in diamond lobbies I think I can maintain it

[spring lotus]

honestly bro just stay in plat or uninstall cuz your just rambling

[onyx jackal]

ah now your not so sure?

[obtuse warren]

I’m not saying it in that way bro

[sage lava]

wtf is going on

[shy vortex]

d1 lobbies are js borderline plat lobbies i think u would get mauled in a d3 lobby

[onyx jackal]

Plat thinking he deserves diamond

also thinks he's different from the others who think that

[sage lava]

average

[onyx jackal]

I'd disagree

[obtuse warren]

yeah d1 is d1 not d3 bro

[shy vortex]

alot of people have that mindset is really common

[spring lotus]

frl

[sage lava]

i can't be talking bc i'm barely worthy of diamond but i was diamond last season

[spring lotus]

plat syndrome

[obtuse warren]

tried giving this guy a tip now we are here

[onyx jackal]

there is a game sense difference between p3 and d1

[obtuse warren]

check your dms

[onyx jackal]

He told me turn sideways press x and that's how u do a 45 flick

[shy vortex]

Dont know depends on the lobby of either ppl who have been in plat 3 long enough and fresh d1

[shy vortex]

wow

[onyx jackal]

scroll up I'm not even joking

[sage lava]

i agree with this a fresh d1 is basically the same as a p3

[little grotto]

thats a very good definition of a 45 tbh

[obtuse warren]

Ok it was bad so now I say “bro your trying to get boosted to diamond pls chill”

your response made no sense either

[onyx jackal]

dude you litterly asked chatgpt to write a comeback for you

[hardy wave]

Guys I play rocket league on ps5 and I’m really good at defense but I don’t know how to do anything else I need help

[sage lava]

are we being deadass

[onyx jackal]

.

[obtuse warren]

not asking for a comeback im asking if what you said made sense

[shy vortex]

trust me u dont want to get boosted to d1. youll js solo q and go back down

[lavish barn]

Can someone coach me

[obtuse warren]

I tried giving someone a tip and they said bro your trying to get boosted to diamond pls chill is that disrespectful what I said? Does their response to giving someone a tip make sense

[hardy wave]

Guys I need help😭

[onyx jackal]

Dude sybau with those chatgpt responses

[obtuse warren]

🔹 Does their response make sense?

Not really. Saying “bro you’re trying to get boosted to diamond pls chill” seems like they were:
• Feeling insecure or defensive, like they didn’t want to be told what to do.

like bro what are YOU saying

[sage lava]

anyone wanna run casual 2s? I was d1 last season but i want to get a little better before i start qing ranked (would prefer to play with someone around my rank or higher, i'm PC NA)

[onyx jackal]

I just checked the replay u sent

u sent a 15 sec replay of u scoring an open net and making an easy save hard

[obtuse warren]

you ain’t even watch it good bro

[onyx jackal]

I did

[obtuse warren]

15 sec replay what

how long was the game

[onyx jackal]

Im not arguing anymore your geniunely frustrating

and no scoring an open net doesn't me u deserve diamond

[obtuse warren]

it’s 4:57 long bro

you watched 15 seconds what

[onyx jackal]

check if u sent the right clip

[lavish barn]

Yall how do you do a 45 degree flick

[winged quail]

Can someone plz help me get out of plat 1 :(((((

[obtuse warren]

should be it’s the only replay I have of today

[onyx jackal]

btw that's 1s gameplay against a low ranked player

[obtuse warren]

then that ain’t it

[onyx jackal]

I'm down

[sage lava]

Okay, what's your epic?

[obtuse warren]

can you show me what you seen then

[spring lotus]

make it 3s?

[sage lava]

wait i'm lowkey down if bull is down

[winged quail]

I should specify that I'm a 1s main and I just need the help with saves and general game sense, which I understand needs to be developed over time but dagnabit it's takin too long

[onyx jackal]

I'm down

[spring lotus]

[onyx jackal]

your one of the good ones

[spring lotus]

GRG Gianni

[winged quail]

Pfft

[sage lava]

[onyx jackal]

I added back

[winged quail]

Kk

[sage lava]

i dont see u online inv me

[winged quail]

Lemme go run a ranked game rq and get that for ya

[onyx jackal]

I'll restart rl give me a sec

[sage lava]

Btw im sorry if i sell im ass for a diamond

[obtuse warren]

wasn’t even trying to be cocky im just saying my teammates are ahh thats why I don’t solo q only play if I have a solid tm8 my rank

[onyx jackal]

nvm do you see me online

[sage lava]

with all due respect 99% of the time if ur saying ur teammates are the problem it's you

[onyx jackal]

Its allg

[winged quail]

Dog everybody says their teamates are ahh. It's always the one sayin it that's absolute dogwater

[obtuse warren]

if I can get the replay and you would look you’d understand it’s Actuslly not me

[onyx jackal]

I swear if he showed u that replay you'd laugh

yeat did haseeb add you

[sage lava]

LMFAO

[obtuse warren]

I averaged 600 points a game in the tourney then my tm8 struggling to get 100

[onyx jackal]

there cocky

[sage lava]

points does not equal better

[obtuse warren]

you didn’t even get the right one or you js watched 15 seconds

[onyx jackal]

u sent me a 15 sec reply of u scoring an open net

[obtuse warren]

thats just a statement bro

[onyx jackal]

@spring lotus

[sage lava]

i went in with that mentality and got a lower rank than my friend who had lower points than me, points do not matter that much

[spring lotus]

yea

[obtuse warren]

say what map then

[peak olive]

[sage lava]

[sage lava]

haseeb825

[winged quail]

So as to break up the argument. Do y'all listen to music while you play? If so, what genre's your favorite? I personally like listenin to a lotta biggie dre n busta.

[spring lotus]

says im already friends with you

[peak olive]

music drags my attention from the game so nah i dont

[onyx jackal]

could u restart rl or inv us to a party

[sage lava]

says ur online but not ingame

[spring lotus]

ill restart

[winged quail]

That's fair, tbh it's prolly just the autism and the adhd that makes me lock in when it plays

[onyx jackal]

hot take but listening to music bores me

[lavish barn]

Can someone help me learn how to air dribble

[spring lotus]

must not listen to yeat 💔

[onyx jackal]

are you gold 3 perchance

[spring lotus]

see if you can inv me now

[lavish barn]

No I’m diamond 3

[peak olive]

youtube tutorials and a ton of playtime will do the job

[spring lotus]

yikes

[onyx jackal]

ouch

I lowk feel bad now thats sad

[lavish barn]

Can someone help me

[unique spindle]

I got a question I’m stuck in silver 3 but I can hit celling pinches and Ariel’s why can’t I get out of silver 3?????

[peak olive]

everybody your rank can air dribble thats sad bro

[onyx jackal]

focusing on the wrong thigs

[lavish barn]

Im on pc to btw

[sage lava]

invited

[onyx jackal]

what rank are you?

[unique spindle]

So how do I get better?

[onyx jackal]

Play the game normally learn how to powershoot and put the ball in the net no flashy mehd

[peak olive]

dont judge but plat 1

[lavish barn]

Yall can someone teach me how to aridtibble tho

Airdribble”

[peak olive]

i only started taking the game seriously a few days ago

[obtuse warren]

I can try

[cedar nymph]

just play the game and learn to hit the ball consistently

[sage lava]

bull r u ready im starting

[onyx jackal]

Check maktufs tut

[onyx jackal]

yes

[unique spindle]

I alr do it’s just when I play ranked I can’t play nothing like in training

[peak olive]

the actual question is why can you ceiling pinch in silver

[unique spindle]

I did to much training

[cedar nymph]

ok probably because you don't have infinite boost like u do in training

[onyx jackal]

wait lemme restart rl real quick

[cedar nymph]

but imo you can get at least d1 if u just hit the ball consistently with power

[peak olive]

i was in silver 3 before i gotta say that silver 3 is actually harder than gold 1

[onyx jackal]

stretch

[cedar nymph]

what

[onyx jackal]

that's a stretch

[unique spindle]

It’s like I’m stuck I get to silver 3 then takes me back to silver 2 back and forth

[cedar nymph]

what do u disagree with

[peak olive]

dont know about d1

d1 definitely needs more than that

[unique spindle]

What is gold crush

The boost

[peak olive]

like a recreation of alpha boost

[cedar nymph]

not really people there are whiffing balls often so u can just get free goals most of the time

[unique spindle]

Wtf it just popped up when I entered the game

[cedar nymph]

at least from what i remember

[peak olive]

i recently played like 5 matches against low diamonds

how i won was mostly by capitalizing on their mistakes

they dont do mistakes often but when they do you need to spot it quickly and abuse it

[unique spindle]

If I send you a video of me playing a ranked match can you judge me or can someone judge me

[obtuse warren]

anyone know how to manu flip

[peak olive]

alright sure

[cedar nymph]

ight mb then

[unique spindle]

Ima go record 1 be back

[peak olive]

a thing about diamonds is they always try to go for the fanciest shots and always mess up on them

[cedar nymph]

real lmao

[peak olive]

like why are you trying to do a reset musty in diamond

[cedar nymph]

you can genuinely get gc1 without air dribbles

so yeah i agree

[peak olive]

you still need to be used to hitting the ball in the air consistently tho

and that mastery you can get by learning how to air dribble

[cedar nymph]

kinda

you don't really need good ball control in the air from what ive seen

just having good backboard defense and hitting the ball in the air with power is enough

[onyx jackal]

I didn't read context but why are YOU talking abt what to do in dia

[peak olive]

because i was playing 2s with my unranked teamate and we were playing diamonds

[onyx jackal]

ur p1 please..

[peak olive]

whats your point i was still playing diamonds

like you tryna hate for no reason

[winged quail]

Waiting for the clip to upload to the xbox network but have a clip of me hitting a 173 kph ctgp

[onyx jackal]

js because u played diamond doesn't mean yk what dia should do

[little grotto]

why are u hating lmao he just gave a bit of common advise

[peak olive]

ok lets ask you then should diamonds be trying flip resets mustys in ranked?

like bro GET OUT

[onyx jackal]

if they can why shouldn't they?

[peak olive]

thats the thing they CANT but they try anyways

practice makes perfect should be in freeplay or casual matches not ranked

because why would they want to get demoted?

[onyx jackal]

are you making up hypothoticels or was that the context

[peak olive]

they try fancy stuff in ranked they fail they lose the match and get demoted

like yall are arguing over NOTHING right now

yeah no im done with ts yall pmo

you do know their teamate also loses the match too

and the teamate doesnt have anything to do with this

you cant be serious bro

this has to be ragebait

[onyx jackal]

sad that I'm gonna have to side with u on his one

[crimson plover]

im gold 😄

I went from gold 1 to gold 3 in 2 weeks though

so maybe I can get plat

I nearly got plat for ones but I swear bro I got 3 smurfs in a row

they be doing resets on me

[unique spindle]

How do I get game sence im a silver 3 only good at mechanics I play on ps5 Reaperq22 is game name if yall want to play friend me

[onyx jackal]

you've been asking for hours call it quits or man up nd queue

[bleak panther]

anyone tryna play peak rank d3

[bleak mortar]

You wanna 1v1? I hit d2 in 2’s

[bleak panther]

no i wanna play with you not against you\

[bleak mortar]

O I’m down to play if you’re fine w it, currently d1

[bleak panther]

ight bet dm me

[harsh magnet]

anyone want to 1v1 just for practice im only D1

[cobalt crane]

Work on basics; car control (ability to move comfortably and accurately), powershots, accuracy with open nets (everything from basic to those weirdly awkward shots, basic recoveries (wave dashes, air roll to land on wheels, etc), understanding defensive concepts (shadow defense, back post rotation, etc), and basic level dribbling to name a few things. In my opinion the more you can be comfortable on defense the better you’ll do as your teammates at that rank will not yet understand proper rotation and you’ll have lots of counterplay opportunities as your opponents also won’t understand rotation leading to overcommits you can take advantage of

Positioning also plays a major role as being able to understand where the play is going rather than where it currently is will net you an enormous advantage at that rank

[little grotto]

are maurie and maktuf resets even worth learning?

[onyx jackal]

for comp?

[little grotto]

yeah i lowkey just want more options in the air im either getting prejumped to all hell or im just to predictable so idk

[cobalt crane]

The biggest merit to learning more reset methods in my opinion is adaptability when setups go awry, gives you more options and room to work even if the setup isn’t optimal for a typical reset as well as more comfort in the air in general

[onyx jackal]

i think improving your current air mechs will just be the better option

[onyx jackal]

good point too

[little grotto]

thats fair i mean im champ 3 but like i never cared about mechs until like c1 so im lowkey learning still in a way

[cobalt crane]

Bull said it well, just getting more comfortable in the air is the most beneficial, learning other reset methods is just one way of approaching that

[little grotto]

i guess i just always feel awkward

[versed topaz]

any tips for getting back to gc2?

[little grotto]

never get the touch i want

[onyx jackal]

practice makes perfect

[little grotto]

yeah

[cobalt crane]

Understanding space, how to make quality first touches, reading the play and the best positioning, and just overall improving car control

[versed topaz]

gotcha, thank you :D

[onyx jackal]

I wish I learnt directional air roll sooner

it's a struggle learning it now

[little grotto]

i mean ive even have had coaches to try to help explain mechs in simple steps and it just goes in one ear out the other

[onyx jackal]

I'm so used to free air roll

[little grotto]

i just go back to old habits

[little grotto]

real

[onyx jackal]

I feel you

I hate spookyluke for making me lean towards free airroll when I first started

[little grotto]

honestly

[cobalt crane]

Learning when to 50/50, when to challenge for teammate to give a free ball / when to cover high/low, when a bump opportunity arises, when to give up on an offensive opportunity, when to utilize a bump rather than a shot, etc are also good things to learn

[little grotto]

hes partially the reason some of the habits i keep stay

[onyx jackal]

you better not say anything positive abt spookyluke

[little grotto]

youtube and rl 😢

[little grotto]

oh hell no

hate him

[versed topaz]

so just gamesense?

gotcha

[onyx jackal]

real only useful thing he ever said was backpost even then he explained it terribly

[cobalt crane]

I am the least mechanical 1650 peak you’ve ever seen, I like don’t even air dribble let alone get resets

[little grotto]

isnt that not even like the "meta" anymore

[little grotto]

dang

yea i sit c3-gc1

lowkey frustrating

[knotty marten]

What do I do if I'm C2 but bad at mechanics 🥲 🥹

[onyx jackal]

practice

[cobalt crane]

I mean, mechs always help, but learning when to apply them will let you go further with less mechs and make you able to better use what mechs you have

[versed topaz]

yeah makes sense. i already got great mechs for my rank so i think gamesense is really whats lacking in my gameplay

[cobalt crane]

I find a lot of people hard rush learning to reset. Resets are incredible, super helpful when done right, but if you’re only able to setup 1-2 resets per game (let alone ones on target that are actually threatening), I find it’s way more practical to get better at what you do for the other 4 minutes and 52 seconds of the game. Will getting really good at resets and other mechs win you games? Yes. Will being incredible at positioning, recoveries, and creating easier plays for teammates win you games? Also yes

Obviously as you get further up mechs become more and more relevant, but they aren’t an end all be all, otherwise players like Forky, Dark, Evample, Pulse Fire, etc would never lose

[versed topaz]

yeah fair enough

would reviewing my own replays be good to spot mistakes and such? i heard some people do that but i never tried it myself

[cobalt crane]

Yeah, I find games that I lose that are close are great to review, as I can look at the ~30 seconds leading up to when I concede to see all of the different things (a bad challenge, bad positioning, not challenging high so teammate can cover low, etc) that lead up to the goal we conceded

[versed topaz]

alright, thank you so much

[cobalt crane]

Another thing is looking at replays from a rank or 2 above you to see where key differences in your gameplay and theirs are

[versed topaz]

oooohhhh

ill try that for sure when i get on today

[onyx jackal]

if I'm way more used to free air roll should I still learn directional air roll?

[cobalt crane]

I think having a grasp of both is ideal

[onyx jackal]

should I learn flip resets with directional or free

[little grotto]

dar

[orchid dock]

js learn directional it’s way better

[fallow field]

can a champ playeror higher dm me please

[full shore]

hey guys im stuck in diamond 2, and its mainly because of mentality or anger issues, i tilt a lot. i only ever tilt when im angry, but everytime im not fuming i play as best as i can

[tired cloud]

i stopped getting mad (mostly) beccause when i got scored on i thought about what i could have done to put myself in a better position

[grand schooner]

is anyone oce here?

[knotty cave]

how does one get better at just know when to hit the ball?

[worldly kayak]

Just being aware of where everyone is on the field and if your hit would be good based on where they are positioned. That's what I think at least.

[knotty cave]

makes sense, ill keep that in mind! thanks

[worldly kayak]

Np, hope you get better. I'm only diamond so I don't know everything 😞.

[dusk creek]

I am stuck in plat 1 someone help me

Well I did come to plat 2 but had tm8 which couldn't even do basic airs but ain't gonna blame them ig

Pls tips to get unstuck from plat 1

[raven shale]

learn basic car control such as speed flip and stuff like that andhalf flip and focus on your possitioning and your first touch

[dusk creek]

I know how to air..

[raven shale]

didnt say u didnt

[dusk creek]

K

U edited it

I thought u said learning basic air.. real

I know how to speed flips but need to do it in kick off sob I can do those when nit in kick of..

What is half flip..

I do other decent ig

[crimson plover]

me

[raven shale]

half flip is basically when u flip cancel and turns your car around instantly its really usefull to turn around quick

[knotty cave]

any1 down to coach? (high bronze/silver)

[dusk creek]

Oh

[raven shale]

im down

[knotty cave]

bet

wanna pm vc?

[dusk creek]

Coach me too

But nrn

Position is good first touch is not bad

[bleak copper]

any1 wanna 1v1?

[raven shale]

sure

[bleak copper]

r u na?

[gritty sonnet]

Hit ball more consistently into net

[gritty sonnet]

Basically is it good for you to hit ut or not

[gritty sonnet]

How they are positioned, how much boost they have, skill level, playstle, ect

[dusk creek]

.. I know that..

[crisp hare]

should you backpost rotate in 1s?

[gritty sonnet]

That's the broad aspect of it but if it is good for you to hit it then the opponent can also be there and then comes a bit factors into play and even if no opponent is there then you still has to think about if you should let your teammate hit it instead bc your teammate maybe has a better position than you

[bleak copper]

any1 wanna 1v1?

[gritty sonnet]

Don't really ask me about ones, I am not the right person. I haven't touched at all ones in 5 seasons

But I would say no in my experience, but correct me if I am wrong

[gritty sonnet]

Didn't you have the person above

[bleak copper]

he didnt respond

[gritty sonnet]

Sad

[gritty sonnet]

Train it more and you will be diamond

[gritty sonnet]

When do you get angry?

[gritty sonnet]

I only know both dar

[spring obsidian]

you would back post rotate if its the ideal position for you to be lol, if your low rank where flicks are done well then its not a terrible idea but in ones rotations become more about driving on the boost pad routes

arent done well* sry

[winter marten]

Can someone coach me, I'm gold

[bleak copper]

any1 wanna 1v1?

[crisp hare]

What rank?

[crimson plover]

what rank are u

[grand schooner]

champ

[bleak copper]

ill play u

[crimson plover]

okay

in an hour though

[grand schooner]

bro literally everyone is us-east or west

[bleak copper]

not at this time im west and cant find any1 who is na

[grand schooner]

and they never see anyone who is same as them rhey always post so much even though there is someone same rank same region right above em

@crimson plover @bleak copper yous are dif regions btw

[bleak copper]

ik

[crimson plover]

it’s fine

[grand schooner]

@crimson plover you’ll get like 215 ping

[crimson plover]

I win anyway trust

[bleak copper]

lol

[crimson plover]

I was queuing with someone in na and we got to plat

and then for some reason we lost two divisions for each game

he had mmr plug-in and said I was losing 20 mmr and only winning 5

per game

[grand schooner]

@serene mango there u go snow day this guy is plat 2 or 3, us-west

[peak olive]

#looking-for-group

[knotty cave]

yeah pretty much

[peak olive]

question for the champs/gcs out there how do i beat diamonds?

one of my duos was unranked before we played together and he got a placement of diamond 1 so when we queue together we face diamonds (im plat 1 btw)

[hard talon]

Theres no set ways on how to beat every diamond, You have to first see how the opponents play their rotations and you can get the last man with a demo sometimes gettin ur team free goal sometimes, But if you fail to do this at the right time ull get scored on instead, You want to make them commit as much as possible on defense so they make more mistakes on defense like double commit on a save or on the same boost, You can learn just a simple flick + infinite dribble and just flick when one of them challenges you as high as possible and demo the last man or bump him out the way letting ur tm8 finish the shot, The passes should not be the regular gold way of just calling ur missed shot a pass, It should have an actual intent, If you are on their side and u have the ball but not enough boost or momentum to keep the control for a bit of time its better to shoot it towards your teammate in the back

[spring obsidian]

from my perspective (c3/gc1) diamonds miss-hit the ball alot, give them hard to control balls or out them in awkward positions and usually they make a mistake, eventually the mistake leads to a goal, i see it this way cause their offense usually isnt threatening for me, you being plat means you miss-hit the ball more than they do

[peak olive]

honestly thats kind of how we won most of our games they whiff the ball and we have an open net

[spring obsidian]

a big thing in diamond too is both players being too far forward and then the opp gets to roll the ball in the net

[thin verge]

Is it enough for chain wall dashes to press the respective DAR and double jump under 80ms? Or do I need to do the left stick wiggle?

[spring obsidian]

yup lol, basically a who misses less

[thin verge]

on kb at least it works with DAR only, no need to touch left/right

[spring obsidian]

not something ik that much abt sry

[peak olive]

even tho im plat i dont whiff the ball that much compared to them and if i do my teamate is already there to help me out

[frozen nest]

can anyone coach me pls?

[hard talon]

@peak olive dont only just rely on them whiffin

[spring obsidian]

yeah but the idea im talking about is putting the ball in places to make them whiff, that is much easier than pulling an accurate flick or air dribble

[hard talon]

thats not how u beat every diamond, every diamond doesnt whiff

[spring obsidian]

agreed

[peak olive]

very long but useful message, this is also what my champ coach taught me and thats how we ended up on a 6 game winstreak

[spring obsidian]

if they dont whiff or miss-hit theyll be terrible at something else tbh

[peak olive]

basically everything you said was taught by my coach

[hard talon]

Theres diamonds with good defense but bad offense, They just drive at the net and flip into it

[peak olive]

but still thanks any normal plat wouldnt have just known this

[spring obsidian]

being smart at the game is much more important than being mechanical so yeah

[peak olive]

i see duos that have one guy that always attacks and one guy that always defends

like it seems they planned pre-game on who's attacking and defending

[hard talon]

that just never works if the other team is not threatening a goal theres no reason to sit back and wait to defend

[thin verge]

no worries! Does anyone else know about wall dash mechanics?

[spring obsidian]

yeah some do that, just really bad because rocket league is supposed to circular basically

hence rotating

[peak olive]

do yall have other advice i maybe havent heard before tho?

(also i dont hear advice and just ignore it i always practice it after)

[hard talon]

Yeah but you gon have to provide your gameplay for that

[spring obsidian]

um when i was plat i never even attempted an air dribble, until some told me to try it, did multiple touches first try and repeated it, this came from simply knowing where im gonna hit the ball when i did a normal aerial

[peak olive]

i learned to air dribble when i was gold just so i can understand how the ball moves in the air

[spring obsidian]

you dont need to practice specific things to get better at them, being more comfortable with car control, air roll, and simple touches carries into every mechanic

[peak olive]

are you down for it tho

[hard talon]

My main recommendation is not always listening to what people say to you as well, They say dont do this at that rank and whatever, Just practicing air stuff will help you get used to directional air roll which will help you a ton in future

[spring obsidian]

another thing thats said is to watch your own replays, even by yourself you will notice stuff yoy did that can be better

and keep the mentality that theres almost always something you couldve done different to make a positive outcome

[hard talon]

flip cancels too, You gon easily do speedflips but you only need to cancel forward momentum so if you go diagonal top left then you just bring it down back left

[peak olive]

i never learned how to speedflip before

[spring obsidian]

blaming t8s and luck just puts you in a kinda hoping things go your way thought process

[peak olive]

mostly because if i speedflipped correctly it would backfire against me in a gold kickoff

[spring obsidian]

when you speed flip for ko you still need to react to what the opp is doing, its not a instant success thing, just gives you the advantage

[hard talon]

make sure to just jump once at the end never hit it if you are on the ground cuz unless you really dusted the opponent on kickoff you will most likely get second hitted and the ball wont be in your hands

[peak olive]

yeah thats what i meant

[spring obsidian]

if he doesnt speed flip you try flipping into him for a 50 after you touch ball first, if they fake it try to chip the ball or leave it

even in c3 they fake on diagonal ko and i just jump hit into the corner and usually get to shoot without needing boost

[hard talon]

also try doing fake jumps like if they are dribbling lets say and you are shadowing it you can jump and point your noise down and boost if needed to get back down, If you shadow properly and they dont see you on their screen they will most likely panic

this works against every rank

[spring obsidian]

yeah fake challenges are huge

[thin verge]

for shadowing you want to be rather close to the enemy and in front of them, but going from the outside of the field to the inside generally?

[hardy galleon]

any tips on how to counter aggressive ball chasing mechanical players in high level lobbies? (champ and higher)

[spring obsidian]

shadowing is more doing the same left right movements as them and staying far enough away to block a powerful flick/shot, switching from shadow to challenging is a different thing

[hard talon]

you need to cover the net and be on the same side of the map then mirror their movement, The main goal is to make sure you cover every threatening direction they can shoot in

you cant shadow someone from the right if they're on the left

[spring obsidian]

look out for when their low on boost, expect to get 50'd more often and prepare for it, when ball chasing they have less time to decide so take a step back and watch them

depending on what rank the chaser will burn their boost and be too far forward

[thin verge]

Yeah I need to be on the same side as them, roughly ahead and the goal is to actually mirror all movements, steering into the same direction they are steering?

[spring obsidian]

usually creates alot of 1v2s for their t8

[spring obsidian]

yeah, like basically parallel to them

[thin verge]

thanks!

am new on controller and relearning everything I knew on kbm: ground dribbling, basic, 180 and musty flicks, speedflips and wall dashes (+ ground/aerial shots). Once I relearned them what should be a rough progression? (Currently plat 1-2)

[spring obsidian]

i dont really know about that, tbh, i usually say controller is better than kbm so

oh wait lmao, read it backwards sry

[thin verge]

nw haha

[spring obsidian]

you should feel more smooth /fluid like i guess

[peak olive]

bro just played with a diamond and all he did was make me one division lower

[thin verge]

yeah shots were immediately better

[spring obsidian]

lol diamond varies alot

[cinder moon]

H

[spring obsidian]

champ does too just people miss less often

[peak olive]

he said his main was high champ but i really doubt it

[spring obsidian]

nah, high champ stands a good chance at 1v2 diamonds lol

[peak olive]

he tried to go for an air dribble and bro completely missed the ball

aint no way in hell he was champ

[hard talon]

KBM is so much easier on flip cancels and half flips and everything related to it but Controller has more input precision which makes this hard, Unless you put ur deadzone up very high which no one should do

[spring obsidian]

i mean still happens in champ but still, if ges claiming high champ itd most likely be obvious hes better than you

[hard talon]

its harder to do same exact opposite input on a controller

[quick spindle]

champ and diamond is mostly the same, champs just miss less often thats all

[thin verge]

Half Flips are very easy for me initially and my aerial control/shot accuracy is alreasy better on day 5

Compared to kbm

[peak olive]

i sold a few times but he was only a tiny bit better than me

and as a champ you shouldnt be a "tiny bit" better than me

[spring obsidian]

if you arent used to playing any game on a controller being accurate with the sticks will be a learning curve

[quick spindle]

whats ur rank ?

[peak olive]

plat 1 bro 😭

[thin verge]

I'm not but I'm already having better aerial control/shots after 5 days

[spring obsidian]

yeah i have a friend whos d3/c1 usually and he can never beat me in 1s,which i suck at

[quick spindle]

huh wtf
ok now it kinda make sense

[thin verge]

It feels like Controller suits me 200% more than kbm

[peak olive]

exactly

• we were playing diamonds

[thin verge]

I was struggling so hard, meanwhile controller feels like a fish that has finally found its water

[spring obsidian]

lmao thats good

[hard talon]

Idk I personally lost so much skills from kbm to roller, I cant infinite dash as good, I cant stall or chain reset, My half flips arent as consistent, but rotation, shooting, dribbling everythings easier

[peak olive]

im kbm too

[thin verge]

Interesting

I mean I am nowhere near flip resets or anything

[hard talon]

I can do like 4-5 resets on kbm but only got 2 on roller

[quick spindle]

so u basically got more skill, u got better fundamentals... the stuff u learned has to be learned again cuz u just changed to controller so its normal

[thin verge]

But Half Flips feel as consistent

I don't even feel like Speed Flips are harder to learn or wall dashes

[peak olive]

bro im scared to queue ranked 2s now im like 2 games away from going back to gold

or less

[thin verge]

I'm making comparable if not faster learning progress to when I initially learned on kbm

[thin verge]

rank doesn't matter, you will rank up in time if you get better

[quick spindle]

dont lose xD

[thin verge]

i'm not much better mindset-wise, but one really needs to detach themselves from being afraid to rank down

[spring obsidian]

eh you gotta play lol, if you derank and it takes you awhile to get back up youre still missing something

[peak olive]

i can wait for my duo to hop on but that'll take hours and maybe not even today

[spring obsidian]

happens to me when i fall to c1, takes forever to get back up then i have like a 80-90% win streak back to c3

[hard talon]

did you guys like the golden crush boost it sounds like bubbles and looks way too thick

[quick spindle]

basically what ur saying is that u wanna wait to get boosted
play without ur duo and see what rank u deserve, u can still rank up anyway

[spring obsidian]

i use bakkesmod all the time lol

[quick spindle]

too thick so mid/trash

golden cosmos reskin

[peak olive]

it just doesnt feel right to me hours of coaching upon coaching and applying what i've learned yet i fall back to gold?

[spring obsidian]

yeah looks like

[peak olive]

my duo is the same rank as me

[quick spindle]

oh ok mb

[hard talon]

Rather use sparkles or yellow standard at that point

[peak olive]

i just like to play with him since i know his playstyle

[gritty sonnet]

How is it boosting?

[quick spindle]

i assumed the mate was higher ranks, most people here wait for mates cuz they wanna get boosted

[spring obsidian]

dont feel so bad about falling down, you know where you used to be and youll get there again, just play in the low rank and see it as reinforcing simpler gameplay

[quick spindle]

fair enough

[hard talon]

He does triple mustard drake flick and scores every time

[quick spindle]

yep
went back to crimson standard/bubbles and it made me realize how bad the boost is

[gritty sonnet]

Fair point

[spring obsidian]

be careful with this too btw, its not boosting but can mess you up, me and my diamond/champ friend can get to upper c2 together but he will almost always lose streak back down on his own

[gritty sonnet]

That's just adaptability

[spring obsidian]

but im a decent amount better than him so its a much bigger switch going to solo queue for him

[gritty sonnet]

Problem with perm teammate

[spring obsidian]

yeah ^

[peak olive]

just realized this is kind of what im falling into

[hard talon]

Why do nobody ask for help in 1s

[peak olive]

whats the solution then

[peak olive]

because 1s is an annoying gamemode

[hard talon]

balright

[spring obsidian]

people do its just less often, and some if not a good amount of people dont care about their ones rank

[gritty sonnet]

I Haven't played 1s in 5 seasons

[spring obsidian]

i dont lol, sometimes i go whole seasons unranked in ones lol

[quick spindle]

i think i have a prob with that
with some players i can naturally do very good pass plays, carry and stuff
and with some other players they confuse me and i get lost for some reasons

[spring obsidian]

1s is a good place to practice stuff against a person near your rank

[gritty sonnet]

Play more with your duo but just play some solo q too

[spring obsidian]

the only good thing about 1s is that everything is ur fault lol

[hard talon]

1s makes you good everywhere and more consistent, and you play at your own pace and its just so much better for improving

[peak olive]

solo queue hurts my soul but alr

[hard talon]

In 2s unless you got a patient teammate you cant play at your own pace

[spring obsidian]

solo queue is better for getting better in my opinion

[peak olive]

why

[gritty sonnet]

On adaptability

[thin verge]

I like 1s, but switch over to 2s after a couple. In plat 1-2 tm8s so often drive behind me? Instead of waiting for a pass? Is there a way to play around that? Really also not ballchasing, but thats very frustrating. I guess in those cases I need them to do their thing and play more defensive?

[gritty sonnet]

1s helps getting better at 1s

[spring obsidian]

you have to learn to play with everyones styles, and it forces you to play in styles you normally never do

[gritty sonnet]

That's adaptability

[hard talon]

Not really it helps your decision making, Recoveries almost everything

besides passes cuz no tm8 to pass

[peak olive]

my main was 3s until i crashed out because of my teamates and started to become a 2s believer

[spring obsidian]

yes and you learn by practicing adapting

[hard talon]

but self passes check that

[thin verge]

haha

I enjoy 3s the most, but play it the least, because I get the least time on the ball

[gritty sonnet]

Individual skill, and also you can be garbage in 1s and still be high rank in 2s

[thin verge]

thus making for slower improvement

[hard talon]

not true

[thin verge]

i think at least

[quick spindle]

its like that for most ppl

[spring obsidian]

when you are aware it happens lose the ball in a way that you both can get back, basically you have a to end your play with a good 50 or score a gaol

[hard talon]

almost every champ 3 in 2s is atleast d2-d3 in 1s whether they like it or ntlot

[gritty sonnet]

Would you say d3 in 1s is good?

[thin verge]

its mostly when I'm in the enemy corner and wanting to pass, but instead of being in position they drive behind me

[spring obsidian]

i mained 3s until c3 then switched to 2s and hit gc

[hard talon]

yeah its top 5% is it?

idek prob lower

[thin verge]

uh nice!

[hexed nexus]

how to get gud mates

[peak olive]

i crashed out when my kickoff position was in the middle my dumb ahh teamate doesnt know how to kickoff so the ball goes straight to our net and the 3rd teamate went to get full boost at the start like a boost hungry idiot and left the open net for the ball to go in

[quick spindle]

isnt it just average ?

[gritty sonnet]

No one is gc2 div 4 in 2s and d3 in 1s

[hard talon]

in 1s no

[thin verge]

lmao

[peak olive]

all i could do was stare at the ball and watch it go in the net

[spring obsidian]

impossible question, be a better teammate

[quick spindle]

grind to higher ranks or Q with someone of ur rank ig

[thin verge]

i mainly crash out at teammates ffing when its 3:0 and we have 3 minutes left

[hexed nexus]

i am better than all of them

[quick spindle]

bruh sry its hard for me to believe u on that

[peak olive]

#looking-for-group

[thin verge]

or they stop doing anything

[hard talon]

check distribution on 1v1s compared to 2v2s

[gritty sonnet]

You would love the person saying this is their life

[peak olive]

if you get a teamate there and your still losing matches you might be the problem

[hard talon]

d3 is more respectable in 1s than 2s

[spring obsidian]

if you are the same rank, no you are not, lose the ego and learn why you suck

[thin verge]

Sorry English is not my first language, wdym?

[peak olive]

i heard champ in 2s is filled with boosted people

[hexed nexus]

ok sry 800 points vs 60 points mb should've known that my mates can't touch the ball, entirely my fault

[hard talon]

its filled with lemme play with my mate people that are bad on solo queues

[gritty sonnet]

There was a person I think it was like yesterday or the day before that said their life is to stop playing when it's 0-3 whatever it is

[thin verge]

wow

why bother playing then

[spring obsidian]

nah, just a diverse gameplay area, when you get to gc basically everyone understands the way the game works

[quick spindle]

then just carry to next rank tbh

[thin verge]

i always continue as a solo and refuse to ff

idk

[quick spindle]

i think he was trolling no way its real

[peak olive]

nah like straight up BOOSTED people bro people who are diamond that straight up got boosted by a gc

[hexed nexus]

i still can't 3v1 😳

[gritty sonnet]

I mean there are people who do that tbh so maybe

[spring obsidian]

that happens every single game right

[gritty sonnet]

Why not?

[quick spindle]

get better, idk what to tell u, i was in diamond when i did my placement games in full solo Q and i went to C1 in one day

[quick spindle]

thats depressing to hear XD

[hexed nexus]

yuh

[hard talon]

I just checked diamond 3 in 1s is top 2.5% ish

[gritty sonnet]

Your ball chasing

[peak olive]

sad thing is with solo queue if your teamates are ACTUALLY trash you need to have the skills of somebody who is 1 rank above you to carry

[spring obsidian]

yeah just doesn't though does it, literally impossible for that to be true

[spring obsidian]

^

[peak olive]

quick question whats your rank

[quick spindle]

so ur saying u have to deserve ur higher rank to get to this rank huh

[gritty sonnet]

Nice no one the person in d3 in 1s and gc2 in 2s

[peak olive]

you have to be 1 rank better than the rank your trying to get

[spring obsidian]

not necessarily, you just have to do well in defending, still hard ofc but yeah

[peak olive]

with solo queue

[quick spindle]

nop
im C2 rn and i carried diamonds, and i also carried C1s

[hard talon]

D3s in 1s are usually gc lvl in 2s u can ask around average is that

[peak olive]

yeah that is 1 RANK HIGHER

[gritty sonnet]

Even gc3?

[peak olive]

???

[hard talon]

not gc3 but low gc

[torpid sleet]

Anyone have time to give me and my buddy some tips? Hes 3 days in to the game and im a rusty ex-champ player

[gritty sonnet]

He is gc2 div 4

[quick spindle]

huh
i thought u meant rank like diamond champ GC, not D1,2,3

[peak olive]

if your current rank is diamond then you can definitely still help him

[hard talon]

who

[crimson plover]

@bleak copper wanna 1-Click now

1v1*

[spring obsidian]

low gc is usually d3/c1 in ones tbf, ive seen it confirmed alot

[peak olive]

ye i did mean like gc1 gc2 gc3

[hard talon]

there u go

[gritty sonnet]

The person named "no one"

[quick spindle]

oh ok
well tbh it doesnt seem to be that big of a deal

[spring obsidian]

but again most people dont care about 1s,they can probably get higher but would need some effort

[hard talon]

yh but if they get higher in 1s theyll get higher in 2s aswell

[peak olive]

does still frustrate me having to put in extra effort to get into a rank thats still worse than your skill level by a bit

[quick spindle]

fair enough

[spring obsidian]

as another reference/perspective im c3/gc1 in 2s and i can win up to p3 in 1s without using boost

[spring obsidian]

nah your 1s is almost always your lowest rank

[peak olive]

guys whats a rank you would be satisfied with to stop sweating in rocket league and start playing casually

[torpid sleet]

i am still helping him but i barely remember the mechanics myself honestly

most of it is muscle memory

[peak olive]

for me its champ

[gritty sonnet]

Just hit ball into net

[quick spindle]

GC2/3

[hexed nexus]

d3

[spring obsidian]

upper champ id say tbh, you are kinda consistent and have a decent set of skills you can usually not mess up lol

[hard talon]

J*b application

[peak olive]

censor that word

[hard talon]

mb almost got banned

[quick spindle]

AHHHH

[peak olive]

ye bro cant be saying stuff like that

[quick spindle]

fr

[peak olive]

not gonna lie i might hit champ and still go "ok maybe just champ 2"

then i'll go "ok im stopping at champ 3"

and i realisticly never stop

[spring obsidian]

thats how it gets u, then c3 is right there, and then ur like well gc is so close now

lol yeah

[peak olive]

"can't stop now"

"99% of rocket league players stop before they hit gc1"

[thin verge]

lmao

[gritty sonnet]

Then gc2 is not close

[thin verge]

then gc3 is not close

[spring obsidian]

blaming t8s doesnt go well for any rank btw, ive seen ssl's complain and get trash talked by all upper level ranks for it

[thin verge]

then ssl is an infinity away

[hexed nexus]

truth hurts

[spring obsidian]

then your 300mmr from playing with pros/streamer you know

[spring obsidian]

usually yeab

[gritty sonnet]

Probably feels way more

[peak olive]

which rank does it get to start getting classified as a "high rank"

[quick spindle]

how long do yall think it would take me to eventually reach GC2-3
im C2 rn XD

[spring obsidian]

upper champ id say but some will say gc minimum prob

[gritty sonnet]

Gc1 is halfway to ssl

[spring obsidian]

actually nevermind, i also agree with gc minimum

[quick spindle]

ik

[peak olive]

i feel like champ 1 classifies tho

[spring obsidian]

nah, still way too bad at the game

[hexed nexus]

i feel like I deserve c2 most pros tell me I do

[gritty sonnet]

So think of going from 50% to 100% with 3 levels

[peak olive]

is plat considered a middle rank or a low rank

[quick spindle]

u confused me more now XD
woke up not that long ago lmao

[spring obsidian]

c1 you definitely say youre good at rocket league

[peak olive]

because i know diamond is considered a middle rank

[gritty sonnet]

Average

[spring obsidian]

but you are aware in comparison to the upper ranks you are terrible

[gritty sonnet]

Halfway = 50%
All the way = 100%

[quick spindle]

are there ppl who rly believe its good in 25 ?

[quick spindle]

i dont wanna reach SSL, just GC2-3max

[peak olive]

i tried playing a casual game with my champ coach on his main account

[spring obsidian]

i mean to the general public

[peak olive]

it felt like i was a spectator in an rlcs game 😭

[spring obsidian]

if you get there youll probably change your mind lol

[hexed nexus]

Guys should I castle first or develop my bad pieces first?

[spring obsidian]

yup

[peak olive]

after that humiliating experience i realized how bad i actually am at the game

[quick spindle]

probably i guess, but rn i dont see why i would want to play in SSL

[peak olive]

i got clipped on by a pop reset

they always dunked on me

beat me to aerials

[spring obsidian]

simple stuff over complex stuff, the best example is people doing a road to gc series and its a player whos already gc, they dont need anything fancy until at least champ

[peak olive]

real ssl just seems too sweaty

[spring obsidian]

when youre that good its not as hard as it seems

[quick spindle]

ye like GC u start to get good at the game and thats just what i want, i dont like ranked lol

[hard talon]

theres less gap to make mistakes thats just it

[peak olive]

i played against a gc2 in a 1v1

he beat me without using boost at all

[spring obsidian]

to play at their current ssl mmr yeah takes work, but to play in gc2, not hard

[hard talon]

high ssl is just ddosers and weird kids selling cheats

[spring obsidian]

yeah i had a smurf account that got its 1s reset to bronze, had a no boost win streak until p3 almost d1

[hard talon]

U dont even need boost if you just throw the ball the other way when they drive at u thats enough to score a goal in low ranks

[spring obsidian]

winning at p3 wasnt easy, i had to think alot and pay attention to what kind of player they were, but still thats just something im able to do because of what rank i am

[spring obsidian]

yeah i think i first got scored on in p1 ir maybe g3

[peak olive]

it seems like with no mechs people can easily get d1

[gritty sonnet]

I am plat 3 in 1s

[peak olive]

saw jamaicancoconut switch to kbm for a video and with no mechs he got a d1 placemennt

[hard talon]

controller to kbm is easier switch than kbm to controller

[peak olive]

saw another youtuber and he also got d1

that did the same thing

[spring obsidian]

honestly id expect coconut to get higher lol, isnt he ssl now?

[hard talon]

he is ssl in every mode isnt he

[peak olive]

at the end of the video he got champ he quit early btw

he literally couldnt handle champ teamates

[spring obsidian]

crazy, like i was saying winning in p3 wasnt easy or gauranteed, thats just how far i got

[peak olive]

so he quit the video early

[spring obsidian]

makes sense

[spring obsidian]

also im pretty sure not using boost gave a slight advantage because people didnt know what to do, so theres that too

[peak olive]

i honestly cant tell the difference between plat 1 and plat 3 players

[hard talon]

0.5ms faster reaction time

[spring obsidian]

yeah, in consideration how far it is from ssl theyre really close

p1 and p3 i mean

[peak olive]

💀

[peak olive]

diamond is a LOT better than plat 3 tho

game just felt way faster

better aerials

[spring obsidian]

yeah in certain places theres like hard walls kinda, you need to understand certain things to bw there, if not you have no chance

[grizzled abyss]

my champ tm8s r ass

[spring obsidian]

well its champ

[hard talon]

Me when I wavedash correctly on the serverside but my clientside car just glitches through ground

[peak olive]

most of them are boosted from like diamond or plat

[grizzled abyss]

like i swear im carryin grand champ peaks in champ lobbies

[grizzled abyss]

cuz of them i de-ranked from c1 div 3 to dia 3 div 3

[spring obsidian]

my wifi rn does input delete lag for like half a second, so ill just sometimes drive straight and fly in a random direction, looks so bad, especially wearing the gc tag

[peak olive]

bro i've been looking for a teamate for over an hour now

why are there no eu plats

[spring obsidian]

sounds exactly like what champ is lol

[grizzled abyss]

😭

[grizzled abyss]

No one plays in ME

[spring obsidian]

its a huge mash up of different playstyles

[grizzled abyss]

its basically me solo-queing

if i can get a good tm8

who isnt boosted i can easily earn c2

[peak olive]

there are a TON of champs in #looking-for-group

[grizzled abyss]

i need ME

i cnt do eu

[spring obsidian]

you can put ur sever im pretty sure

[grizzled abyss]

i did

[spring obsidian]

server

[peak olive]

i see a couple of people who are NA

[grizzled abyss]

but its very rare for ME players to show up

[grizzled abyss]

i need ME

[peak olive]

what is this region

[thin verge]

do i initiate shadowing after e.g. a fake challenge or driving closer once I roughly hit the midfield?

[grizzled abyss]

middle east

[grizzled abyss]

fake challenge

[spring obsidian]

yeah, unless the challenge made them throw the ball away, then u go for possession

[thin verge]

thanks!

[peak olive]

oh im middle east but eu still gives good ping and i can find a teamate way more easily

[grizzled abyss]

but if ur further away from ur net cuz sometimes u can misunderstand where ur net is nd it can go in goal

[grizzled abyss]

rank?

[peak olive]

dont bother plat 1

[grizzled abyss]

i cant play with high ping espically in champ

[peak olive]

i actually get better ping on eu

[spring obsidian]

when you fake ideally you are just quickly getting into a shadow position, but make it look like your driving at them

[peak olive]

but thats just me ig

[grizzled abyss]

i get 99 but

its a risk

[peak olive]

i get around 60-70

because i have ethernet

[grizzled abyss]

HOW BRO whats ur internet provider

[thin verge]

ty!

[peak olive]

my internet is trash tho

not very stable

[spring obsidian]

100 ping is a big difference in rocket league btw

[grizzled abyss]

ik

its too risky

[peak olive]

for me i cant notice a difference between 150 ping and 70 bro

and i got both while playing

[grizzled abyss]

its prob cuz u play w that ping too much

u can control it

[spring obsidian]

100 is where your 50 into the ceiling becomes a shot straight over the roof of your car

[grizzled abyss]

in champ is wayy different, if they js shoot it with power ill be flying

[spring obsidian]

yeah you can get used to it but its like a depth perception thing, go to normal ping and youd be too early

[grizzled abyss]

it took me 2 months js to fix that

why arent there any ME players 😭

[spring obsidian]

all on csgo or finding egirls in valorant lol

[grizzled abyss]

dont talk abt valo they js swear like its nothing

if someone makes a mistake gone someone is gonna swear like crazy

egirls r rare tho tbh

plus i hate them

[spring obsidian]

yeah true i guess

[grizzled abyss]

they get boosted soo much

[spring obsidian]

lmao

fair

[grizzled abyss]

ill try one more game

[hard talon]

they get boosted everywhere

[grizzled abyss]

im in dia 3

[spring obsidian]

going to sleep, good luck yall

[grizzled abyss]

fr

i lost

[old aspen]

why is the 2's server lagging so much

[peak olive]

idk man my ping goes from 70 to 200 to 400

ping is starting to make me sell games

[earnest lance]

Hey everyone

I’ve been playing Rocket League for a while and really want to improve. My peak rank was Gold, but now I’ve dropped all the way back to Bronze. I’m stuck and not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I’m looking for someone who wouldn’t mind duoing with me and giving tips along the way—basically like a chill coach. Nothing super serious, just someone who can help me figure out how to actually get better.

Also I’m 13 if that’s a problem

My username is gamefoodie8

[urban shuttle]

coach from plat to diamond??

[onyx jackal]

I'd reccomend just playing the game normally

[obtuse notch]

Anyone on eu wanna go in freeplay with me and help me practice mechs?

[onyx jackal]

If you send me a replay i can give you some advice

[obtuse notch]

Please

[earnest lance]

How many hours would you say you should have to be a average player in platinum/diamond

[onyx jackal]

It varries

[obtuse notch]

I have over 1k and I'm d2/3

[soft adder]

Can anyone teach me

[onyx jackal]

you ranked up?

[onyx jackal]

solo plays

[frigid bobcat]

ME is the toughest region

[formal egret]

Can someone help me rank up in plat 2s

[keen hinge]

why do I jump off my reset?

[uneven ibex]

Sure

dm

[formal egret]

Ok

[uneven ibex]

You need to run into the ball not let it hit you

basically go faster so you bounce off the ball

[keen hinge]

but then its much harder to do a pop reset

[uneven ibex]

its a timing and car control thing tbh, if you want the right pop reset then you need to having really good timing

Theres not really an end all be all or a definite solution considering how hard this game is

[keen hinge]

fair enough

[formal egret]

So u able to help me gabby

[formal egret]

Are able to play

[uneven ibex]

ye just give me like 10 mins probs

[icy nimbus]

If its a pop reset you're hitting the ball too hard

[drowsy delta]

I was d1 in 1s a while ago but I didn’t play for some time, does someone wanna 1v1 so I can test my skills?

[icy nimbus]

If you hit the ball the same speed the ball is you stay close

[short atlas]

ok guys i need tips to get out of gold im fresh and im not improving

[icy nimbus]

Play the game

[short atlas]

bro come on im 220+ hours in i need actual tips

[icy nimbus]

That is an actual tip

[uneven ibex]

^^^ its so true tho

[icy nimbus]

You're new you need to just play the game

[uneven ibex]

I dmed you bro add me

[formal egret]

Ok

[short atlas]

ive been playing for 7 months you call that new

[icy nimbus]

220 hours is new

[short atlas]

🥀

[covert summit]

how do i get better at demo play?

[icy nimbus]

If you want tips tho learn how to dribble and flick the ball

[gritty sonnet]

Improve your solo plays, know the playstyle of your teammate after like 1 minute and know where your teammate is, more times than not

[short atlas]

i do that since i was low silverrr

[icy nimbus]

Show me a flick and you dribbling

[gritty sonnet]

Learn how to shoot the ball into net most of the time

[gritty sonnet]

Have you played ranked more than freeplay in those 220 hours or reverse?

[gritty sonnet]

Just demoing?

[covert summit]

tactical bump/demo plays

[gritty sonnet]

I mean just the demo part?

[covert summit]

also i wanna learn how to avoid them cuz they make me go on a loss streak i get tilted so bad lol

[onyx jackal]

In 1s or 2s

[covert summit]

yeah and also when to demo

[covert summit]

3s and 2s

[gritty sonnet]

Rank?
