[dull drift]

just saying

[solid scroll]

yea thats what i said

ok

[dull drift]

well, because of bots all the top ranks have been messed up, so season 20, 21 makes sense you havent gotten it back

[kindred skiff]

what button should my boost be

[solid scroll]

whatevers more comfortable for u

usually LB/RB or B

(aka L1/R1 or Circle)

[astral quarry]

anyone wanna guess the rank on my last 1v1?

[solid scroll]

how should we do that

[astral quarry]

i can hop in a call with you and screenshare

[nocturne spoke]

can anyone "help" me get out of c3? lol

[rapid pendant]

Got D3 a couple days ago, I feel like I'm usually ''good'' with my placements when I'm 1st or 2nd man and rotating (compared to most tm8) but also feel like my ball control isn't good so I tend to kick it toward the goal often too fast without thinking about the opposite team's placement on the map. I'm thinking of spending lots of time in free play to learn mechs like dribble, aerials and a tiny bit of air dribble, does it make sense? Or It's really not necessary in low Diamond?

[solid scroll]

learn basic aerials for air challenges and beating ur opponent's touch to the ball

and leaen dribbles and flicks cause they are always good

master powershors too

and learn basic shadow defense and boost management / positioning overall

[rapid pendant]

Good thanks! I found a few good custom training for it I think. I'll focus on this for a while until I feel more confident controlling the ball

[solid scroll]

good luck

[wary dock]

tas is allowed in freeplay right

[rapid pendant]

Do you know by chance a youtuber that explains these skills in a clear way? Or should I simply search each skills and go through a few vids

I'm new to this and I play rocket league

I play on pc keyboard

[winter current]

where do i get coaching? ayone know?

[vivid imp]

im 2k hours in and i still suck at freestyling. Most i can do is just a simple flip reset and a air dribble

[strong grove]

welp there goes the 20 win streak

[winter current]

do u coach?

[strong grove]

ah dm me

[tired talon]

anyone coach for c1/c2?

[cyan seal]

need to get better or find tm8s private dm me for a join in my server where ppl are active 24/7

[vagrant badger]

then spend your time on freestyling. you can can become a really good freestyler with very little time compared to getting good at the actual game

[jaunty fern]

I’m c2 rn, can anyone watch a few of my games and give advice on what I can improve most

[rapid cradle]

i can

[jaunty fern]

What rank are you?

[rapid cradle]

im c2 but i can still give you some advice based on the way you play

[jaunty fern]

Alr sure, do we join a call here?

[rapid cradle]

im calling you already

[jaunty fern]

where, ive never done this before

[rapid cradle]

im calling you in private

[vivid imp]

only issue i just dont know how to get better at it/approach

[vast heart]

gc2 with bad mechs for my rank (crazy freestylers in this rank), to practice i pull up tut vid, then i practice, fail, watch vid again, practice, fail, watch dif video, practice, fail, rinse and repeat in free play with music or a comfort show on the side

[spring stream]

are u pc

bored gc3 dm if need help

[tawny lagoon]

alguem c3 1400 pra jogar x2 na sam ou eua

[jaunty fern]

Yea

[spring stream]

i got u with a replay review if u wanna go over one of ur recent games

[jaunty fern]

Ok, we can do that or I can play 1, whichever one you want

I also dm you

[warm merlin]

im plat 3 rn can anyone give me some tips to rank up

[gloomy valley]

I'm fairly new to rocket league. Where should I start for tips? I have a controller and am using a PC with Epic

[late walrus]

do basic shots training packs and do the rocket league tutorial both basic and advanced your welcome 🤗

[grizzled sandal]

Anyone who needs help ranking up dm me (free im bored at work tbh and im a gc3 player)

[hoary moth]

I just downloaded the game and cannot figure out how to play the right way because im clearly doing sum wrong im on Mnk

but i need help badly

[verbal marlin]

Yeah this aint true bucko

But it's depends what u call "good"

[thorny grove]

I need help with speed flipping

[vagrant badger]

That’s kinda the problem there’s no objective way to measure someone’s skill as a freestyler. There are golds hitting triple resets when some pros can’t even consistently hit a rapid.

[thorny grove]

I am learning directionals speed flip but my car always ends up going a different direction and not straight

[vagrant badger]

I’ve seen plenty of “pro freestylers” whatever tf that means, that have like 1k hours and peaked diamond. Unless you’re extremely diligent, talented, and focused, you’re not hitting SSL in under 3-4k

[verbal marlin]

There's no pro freesytlers who have 1k hours

[vagrant badger]

And define pro freestyler

[verbal marlin]

Give a name

Im not a pro freestyler and I'm better than every freestyler with 1k hours

[vagrant badger]

But what is a pro freestyler

[tacit marlin]

yea ain't no way you can consider someone with 1k hours a pro freestyler

someone who's been in official competitions in the past or is a recognized freestyler in the community

[verbal marlin]

Think of freestyle teams like team nytro nixus etc

They're the real pros

Not these diamond 1k hours players

[grizzled sandal]

Anyone need help getting better? (Free im bored at work/gc3 player) just dm i dont look in this channel 24/7

[vagrant badger]

There hasn’t been a legit fs comp in years. But you can absolutely do every mechanic consistently to a high level very quickly

[tacit marlin]

that's why i said or a recognized figure in the community

[vagrant badger]

Yeah that means nothing

[tacit marlin]

it's not as defined as comp pro players since there isn't really a pro fs scene

you're asking me to define pro in a scene where it doesn't exist

tf do you want

[vagrant badger]

My point is that the term pro freestyler makes no sense

[verbal marlin]

"High level" in your terms is 2 flip resets

[vagrant badger]

I said golds are doing triples?

[verbal marlin]

The actual highest levels are hitting double digits

[tacit marlin]

weren't you the one who brought that up?

[tacit marlin]

.

[vagrant badger]

I put it in quotes because people will call themselves that. The term means nothing though

[verbal marlin]

U also said pros csnt rapid consistently smh

[tacit marlin]

lmao you're not real

[plain blade]

can someone help me rank up to d1

[vagrant badger]

Uh yeah this is true

[verbal marlin]

Sure buddy

[vagrant badger]

Plenty of pros are still not mechy at all

[tacit marlin]

pros most definitely can rapid 😭

[verbal marlin]

Least mechiest pros can flip reset 🙏

[grizzled sandal]

Rapids are the most common way comp players do resets

Anyone need help getting better? (Free im bored at work/gc3 player) just dm i dont look in this channel 24/7

[hybrid warren]

Hello guys

I'd like to aask for some advice on trying to stay in gc1

[plain blade]

can someone help me rank up to d1

[gloomy valley]

Thank you 😊

[elder lily]

what rank are u rn?

[teal jasper]

what mechs are important for silver - gold

[cosmic cedar]

Hitting the ball at the net

[teal jasper]

wow

what about REAL mechs

[cosmic cedar]

Besides like half flips u don’t need anything

[teal jasper]

speedflip?

[true trail]

Speed flip is good at any rank

[prime fern]

Lol basics are mechanics, there's not "fake mechs" and "real mechs", anything that involves your car moving is a mechanic

[versed topaz]

Overkill at gold

[distant pier]

Anyone need help in heatseeker if so lmk

Dm me

[raven hamlet]

Im 1123 and ive been going up and down for a while. How can i get out? Im a 2s player

[wheat yarrow]

can someone help me perfect my ceiling shot ive almost got it down its js that i cant seem to get under the ball to make a shot

[hazy rapids]

get up to the ceiling faster

[hazy rapids]

do you solo queue?

[hard mirage]

same here

[hazy rapids]

do you solo q?

[hard mirage]

yes

[hazy rapids]

do you only play 2s?

[hard mirage]

i play heeseeker sometimes

[hard mirage]

technically ye

[hazy rapids]

ever play 1s?

[hard mirage]

not so much, bbut yes

[hazy rapids]

it is going to be ragebaiting, but 1s will improve you the fastest no matter what, you arent relying on a team mate, and whatever mistakes are made are all on you

1s will also help with recoveries, decision making etc

[hard mirage]

hm ok

[hazy rapids]

or just keep playing 2s

[hard mirage]

so what rank should i be in 1s to start grinding in 2s?

[hazy rapids]

im hardstuck 1400 rn im not gonna lie but i know 1s helps

[hard mirage]

ur grandchamp?

[hazy rapids]

well it depends, if you feel like you're making progress, start q ing 2s again

yeah gc1 div 4 last season

[hard mirage]

damn

[prime fern]

Nah to improve at 2s you wanna be focusing on 2s. 1s skillset is very different, same with the decision making

[hazy rapids]

you sure?

[hard mirage]

but iam solo queing

[prime fern]

I'm a 1s main so yeah

[ivory wren]

Totally agree

[hazy rapids]

the higher you are in 1s, the better your gamesense is gonna be

[prime fern]

That's just wrong

[hazy rapids]

so a c1 in 1s has worse gamesense than a d1 in 1s?

[lavish willow]

how can i add air roll to my air dribbles? my tornado spin just puts me too far away from the ball

[hard mirage]

😶 im listening

[prime fern]

In 1s yes, but that gamesense does not go into 2s

[hazy rapids]

it does

i promise you haha it worked for me, it just depends on how you learn things

[hard mirage]

how does that work?

[prime fern]

I peaked c1 in 1s, constantly beating GCs and yet my gamesense in 2s is c1 or below level lol

[hazy rapids]

you didnt play 2s enough then

[hard mirage]

ur prob solo queing?
or dont know how to play sec hand man (idk what to call it)

[hazy rapids]

second man

[hard mirage]

ye that

[prime fern]

That's what I'm saying LOL, my 1s gamesense did not make my 2s gamesense good

[hazy rapids]

as a 1s main you wouldnt be second man though

[hazy rapids]

thats just you then, it helped mine.

[prime fern]

In 1s you don't have a teammate therefore your decisions are different, simple as that

[prime fern]

What's your 1s and 2s rank?

[lavish willow]

how can i add air roll to my air dribbles? my tornado spin just puts me too far away from the ball

[hazy rapids]

c1 1s gc1 2s

[ivory wren]

The power of your touches depends on which part of the car you hit the ball with

[hard mirage]

hold jump

[hazy rapids]

i dont play 1s tho im a 2s main now

[hard mirage]

and then airroll

[prime fern]

It's everyone. 1s gamesense is a whole lot different than 2s, that's why 2s mains are way lower in the ranks in 1s, because their 2s gamesense doesn't translate into 1s gamesense therefore they play like they have brain damage lol

How else do you think I peaked c1 by only knowing how to dribble and flick lol?

[hazy rapids]

so ur the same rank as me in 1s but a lot lower in 2s

how does that make sense if im wrong?

[prime fern]

You just proved my point

[hazy rapids]

not really

[hazy rapids]

i could be a lot higher in 1s if actually played it

[versed topaz]

Solo q doesn't have much to do with 2s gamesense imo

[prime fern]

I'm lower than you in 2s because I'm a 1s main therefore my 2s gamesense is bad and you are the same in 1s but higher in 2s because your 1s gamesense is bad

[charred flame]

hello

[hazy rapids]

if my 1s gamesense is bad, but we are the same rank, and youre a 1s main, doesnt that make you bad in general?

[prime fern]

No because hours also matter lol

[prime fern]

How many hours you have in game?

[hazy rapids]

ingame or total

[prime fern]

Total

[hazy rapids]

ive spent about 1k in freeplay but i have 2200 total

because im mechy not a gamesense player

[prime fern]

Yeah I am at 700

[cosmic cedar]

Is there any way to check ur free play hrs

[hazy rapids]

and i have 2 beautiful red glowing grand champion tags

[elder lily]

nope

[hazy rapids]

nah its just a rough estimate, i spend equal amounts of time in freeplayu and ingame

[prime fern]

You just answered your question then, you are c1 in 1s with worse gamesense purely because of more experience and better mechanics

[prime fern]

I got close to getting GC but 2s is just bad

[hazy rapids]

id rather be able to penta reset than have good gamesense lwk

[prime fern]

And that's why you are still gc1 with 2200 hours lol

[verbal marlin]

Ur right but only to a degree. Playing any gamemode makes u better, even a little, at other gamemodes

[hazy rapids]

just remember i can penta, you cant do a single reset, youre also 400 mmr below me

[cosmic cedar]

???

[prime fern]

It makes you better only in specific scenarios. For example in 2s I'm very good at getting the ball over 1 of the opponents and my defense is also great but that's it

[prime fern]

Who said I can't reset lol?

[verbal marlin]

U gotta remember that 1v1s happen in 2s aswell

[hazy rapids]

2s is literally 2 separate 1v1s lol

[verbal marlin]

So it translates

[prime fern]

Right but my positioning for example is bad because how am I supposed to know how to play with a teammate when I have never played with one

[mint jacinth]

Not when u get stupid people who decide to jump at the same ball

[prime fern]

It is not, for example flicking(which works perfectly in 1s) many times doesn't work it 2s since 1 can instachall and the other can jump for the ball

[hazy rapids]

so dont solo q, and find a good tm8

[verbal marlin]

If u never play 2s then i guess ur right

But it's normal to have a rank lower in 1s

[prime fern]

That's because the rank distribution is different due to people being 2s mains

C1 in 1s is top 1%, c1 in 2s is like top 15% lol

[verbal marlin]

Flicks work in 2s but yeah it is harder

[prime fern]

Not against good opponents

[verbal marlin]

1s is genuinely harder ngl

Gc1 is braindead but champ in 1s can get sweats

[prime fern]

It's only harder if your gamesense at them is bad, I have 700 hours and I see GCs in 2s playing 1s against me and playing like they haven't touched the game before

[verbal marlin]

Anyone can get flicked

[prime fern]

Not 2 people at the same time

[verbal marlin]

Didn't say 2 people but it gets goals and that's what counts

[prime fern]

My flicks are high GC level and yet I barely get goals off of flicks in c2 and c3 in 2s

[hazy rapids]

high gc level? then why arent u high gc?

[prime fern]

Because I'm a 1s main, have you been hit in the head or something?

[verbal marlin]

They probably need work if they dont give u goals not tryna be rude

[hazy rapids]

you mustve been

[verbal marlin]

Ive played 1700s and flicked and scored on them

[prime fern]

You can ask anyone I've 1v1ned from here, a guy who was gc1 was accusing me of using macros for flicks because I scored 7 flicks on him in a 1v1 lol

[hazy rapids]

i flicked hoppytye ahah

got it clipped too

[verbal marlin]

Yeah so they work right?

[prime fern]

In 2s it's a lot harder to score a flick if the opponents defend smartly

[versed topaz]

Because someone can force you to flick early while the other guy can save

[prime fern]

Exactly

[wheat yarrow]

yeah but when i go to the ceiling to fast i hit the ball to hard

[hazy rapids]

hit the ball softer, get to the ceiling faster, keep practising it

[verbal marlin]

Ur right but 1v1s happen in 2s and it makes flicks dangerous

[prime fern]

When I get the ball on my car 2s, someone just instachalls and the other jumps for the ball, the hell am I supposed to do about that

[hazy rapids]

get better gamesense?

[mint jacinth]

Happens no matter what.

Thats why i solo q

[verbal marlin]

If they force then u cant do much unless they get a bad 50 or smth

[sand dock]

Alguém br?

[covert thorn]

im plat 2 does anyone have tips to rank up?

[prime fern]

That's what I've been saying

[versed topaz]

I mean depends on how they force

[verbal marlin]

Sometimes first man gets beat and a 1v1 happens which is what I'm talking about

[versed topaz]

If they go too high you can just drop it under them

[verbal marlin]

Thats what i mean by a bad 50

[prime fern]

That's right, and when that happens and I get possession I score every time but flicks aren't as great as they are in 1s

[versed topaz]

Yeah but it's not 100% of the time that they can get a 50 off of their commitment

[prime fern]

That's why I said if they defend smartly

[verbal marlin]

I think we all agree

[versed topaz]

✅

[verbal marlin]

Im just saying it works in 2s but not as much

[versed topaz]

Ig in 2s you gotta use them in other ways

Not just to score

[verbal marlin]

Clearing aswell ig

[prime fern]

For sure but you can't use it in the same way as in 1s. In 1s I defend, boost starve and get possession to flick, in 2s I have to wait for a 1v1 scenario

[warm merlin]

yo

[versed topaz]

I mean if your close enough it can be a 1v2 scenario too, but it's rare to get that sort of thing

[cyan sage]

Need a Gameplay tip: I got tilted from c1 to d2, I have 43 boost and I’m taking it up wall with space. My teammate (mind you it’s 15 seconds into the game max so there’s no reason for him to be upset at anything yet) bumps me and goes afk for 30 seconds to type “take the shot. Possession is a myth” what do I do?

[warm merlin]

nothing play the game

[prime fern]

Depends, could you score off of the wall with 43 boost? If yes he is in the wrong, if not then both of you are in the wrong since there might have been better plays. Also was it an open net or were there defenders?

[covert thorn]

Hey everyone, I’m currently Platinum 2 in Rocket League and trying to rank up—any tips or advice on what I should focus on to improve? Appreciate any help!

[cyan sage]

Both guys were on their side on defense, I’d say I can score with a ceiling shot like that 60% of the time especially because I’m 2-3 ranks lower than usual, if not I could use it as a pass. The ball was already rolling up wall, so it’s not something I set up completely purposefully

[uncut rain]

Speedflips, half flips, game knowlage ( collecting small pads when your low and telling your self to do) also start learning air dribbles, aswell as shadow defenese saves, aswell as powerful flicks ( + dribbling ) all of this will get you to diamond and beyond if you master them all.

[covert thorn]

im looking to get into a game with someone or have somone spectate one of my 1v1 matches

[prime fern]

I'd say it's his fault then if that's the case. Keep in mind though that going for a risky shot with 43 boost against 2 defenders can go very wrong, you could have done something safer like a flick into a backboard pass for example

[cyan sage]

Definitely practice aerials and get good at being the first one to them or being able to get control in the air. Possessing the ball will help a lot after plat when your teammates can position themselves.

[cyan sage]

Flick would require more than 2 seconds of possession, remember that’s a “myth”

[hasty chasm]

my tm8s 😭

[covert thorn]

anyone?

[safe plover]

wtf do u do when ur plat 1 and ur team js ball chases an cant attack at all

[prime fern]

If you are good at dribbles you can get into flick position in less than a second

[cyan sage]

From my half, flicking in less than a second is a pass to the defense

[cyan sage]

Play defense and let them. I got really good at backwards saves and stuff in that rank and it helped in diamond and champ. If they want to play only offense, fill in the missing spots.

[prime fern]

I'm not saying flick in less than a second I'm saying get into position to flick and flick high when someone challenges

[cyan sage]

He bumped me when he didn’t like how long I had the ball lmao. I couldn’t do anything like that, and that’s one of my strengths is dribbling. Couldn’t play the game very well in that game bc of him.

[prime fern]

I never said it wasn't his fault it obviously is like as said but I'm just saying that there could have been better plays

[cyan sage]

Yeah ik, I’m just saying, with him doing that I had no option other than banging the ball to their backboard. Not a bad play, but not the best option there either.

[prime fern]

Bumping your teammate pretty much guarantees you are in the wrong lol unless in very specific scenarios

[hybrid warren]

yo can anyone give some advice for me

[cyan sage]

For what rank

[hybrid warren]

im tryna get gc2

[cyan sage]

Nah I can’t then lmao

[halcyon gust]

try limiting your fps to your monitor hz's using rtss sotfware and uncap the fps from the game

[covert thorn]

please anyone

[prime fern]

That will only slightly reduce input delay if your PC is struggling, in game fps caps aren't much worse

[hybrid warren]

can anyone help me?

[prime fern]

First of all heavy car bug is purely placebo, there's no such thing as heavy car bug it's just you thinking your car is heavy because of the day or maybe an input lag issue

Also disable steam input to shave off some Ms of input lag as the game has native controller support meaning that there will be a direct connection between the game and your controller when having steam input disabled

Some general input lag reduction tips I can give are capping fps below your GPUs max(never use uncapped), disable vsync, run the game on exclusive fullscreen, disabling G-sync/freesync can also slightly reduce input lag but it will cause some screen tearing, use a wired connection for your controller

[covert thorn]

Do you guys think playing rocket league on keyboard and mouse is harder than controller?

[prime fern]

That depends on what you are used to

[covert thorn]

Me personally I like controller simply because the buttons are closer together and you don’t have to move as much

[prime fern]

Someone who has been playing games on kbm their entire life is prolly used to that though, that's why I said it depends

[covert thorn]

What rank are you

[hybrid warren]

am i muted?

[covert thorn]

I felt the same way fifa

[prime fern]

C3 peak in 2s, c1 peak in 1s

[covert thorn]

Good stuff Alex

[prime fern]

I don't think there's many GC2 or higher in the chat right now lol

[hybrid warren]

fah

im gc1 rn

[modern cairn]

me too twih

[hybrid warren]

and I just need some advice cause idrk what to do wghen my tm8's have 0 brain cells

[modern cairn]

get a tm8

[hasty chasm]

gonna be hardstuck plat 3 if my tm8s dont lock in

bro had 100 boost and sat net

[hybrid warren]

I have one

and he has no brain

[modern cairn]

get a diff one then

[keen pumice]

thats a skill issue

[prime fern]

You can't be expecting plat 3s to be playing good

[keen pumice]

here's what to do:
Remember u probably are making dumb decisions and stop focusing on blaming random teamm8s...

a change of attitude will help you improve a lot. Once you are really good, u can have your ego back

[hybrid warren]

I promise I don’t blame my tm8’s all the time. I usually play off them and position in the correct spots to keep possession

but sometimes they just dish out the ball or lose it or try to only go for mechy plays

and i’m just sitting here tryna recover and defend the who game

I appreciate it, i’ll definitely try that

[keen pumice]

thats bound to happen often in lower ranks up until low gc1 tbh

[prime fern]

If you usually play off them etc. then you should be ranking up

If you are losing enough so you don't rank up that means that you are losing a bunch of games and I doubt you lose most of those games due to bad teammates

[hybrid warren]

im a very game sense kinda player, I have some mechs to keep up with the plays but mostly game sense

I try to play passive and possessive to create opportunities for my tm8’s to have shots

but idek man like they just drive away from the ball and just do the most insane things for no reason

[hasty chasm]

what should i do to win in solo queues

[prime fern]

Become better

[keen pumice]

as a kbm player... it doesnt make that big of a difference. Really depends on what u're most comfortable with

[hybrid warren]

Im probably half the cause sometimes but I don’t feel like im ball chasing or doing anything crazy yk?

[keen pumice]

play passively. Assume your tm8 will mess up (this doesnt mean to steal the ball from them). Stop going for big pads for no reason

[prime fern]

Maybe you are doing too little then, the less you do and slower you play the harder it is to make mistakes

[grizzled sandal]

Anyone need some help? Free and im gc3 just dm

[prime fern]

This is just wrong, reading your teammate is always the best option. Assuming they will mess up is bad

[keen pumice]

yes, and when to u go upfield and they miss the ball, good luck

[prime fern]

That's why I said read your teammate first

[keen pumice]

the lower the rank, the more likely they're to miss

even when u think its impossible to

[prime fern]

Also you wanna play safe sure but when they have the ball and you assume they will mess up and you turn back might lead to them doing a good pass

[keen pumice]

I'd rather not be there for a pass than not be there for a save

[prime fern]

The lower the rank the worse you are too lol so does that mean that everyone should always be leaving the teammate in a 2v1 scenario

[covert thorn]

Anyone down to spectate a 1v1 and give me live tips?

[prime fern]

You can be there for both with decent recoveries and make a decision depending on what they do. Stay close, if they do a pass? try to score, if they mess up? Recover and go back

[keen pumice]

we are talking about low ranks here. Yes, u shouldnt have 2 plats going up for the same play unless they have full boost while the kther side is starving. Even then, its risky

[keen pumice]

I dont expect c1 or lower to be able to go around the field quickly

[prime fern]

If you can't go back quickly then that's your fault lol

[keen pumice]

Im gc3. Soloqueued all the way up to ssl. Ive seen plenty and I'd like to think I know what Im talking about

imagine the following scenario:
Opponents making a play towards your corner. you're 2nd man.
Tm8 goes for the free ball and whiffs. You went slightly upfield expecting a good clear from tm8...

[prime fern]

Idk how plats in 2s play since I was a 1s main and when I got into 2s I was already good enough to immediately get c2 but from my experience leaving your teammate alone on offense is a bad idea.

[modern cairn]

they rlly cant unless theyre hard chasing. lotta hard chasing nowadays for some odd reason

[prime fern]

That's why 2s is bad, all the braindead people are there

[keen pumice]

then idk how u're trying to argue without ever experiencing it

its not bad to avoid the risk

[grizzled sandal]

Anyone need some help? Free and im gc3 just dm

[prime fern]

I literally said read your teammate first. If I see my teammate playing well then I'm obviously gonna trust them

[keen pumice]

how do u expect a diamond to be able to read a play at all

they see ball they go ball

You have the right mentality but that only works in medium to high ranks

[prime fern]

Most, not all. In my couple days in diamond before I got to champ I got couple diamond teammates who weren't chasing

In plat idk though

[keen pumice]

and your tm8s need to have the minimum consistency for you to be able to read what they'll do

they'll just miss the easiest stuff out of nowhere and a minute latee hit a psycho or something

[safe plover]

plat pmo so hard to escape

[keen pumice]

what are u struggling with specifically?

[safe plover]

i defend

and then my tm8s

[lethal belfry]

What exact rank are you?

[safe plover]

ball chase entire game giving me no option to also help

[safe plover]

p1

[lethal belfry]

Ough

[prime fern]

It's so easy to get out of

[lethal belfry]

Alright I mean I can help you maybe

[safe plover]

can’t

[safe plover]

what region

[lethal belfry]

I’ll be in your rejoin

Region*

[safe plover]

oceania

[prime fern]

Just 2v1 them, that's what I did up to champ

[lethal belfry]

Lemme play a game rq in oce and check how bad the lag is

[safe plover]

idk

[keen pumice]

well, then you'll just have to adapt to it. Slow down, let them chase. Just make sure the other team doesnt score

[safe plover]

alright

[safe plover]

i wait at post entire game

[prime fern]

Btw I'm wondering, why are 2s players so braindead?

[lethal belfry]

Who knows man

[hard mirage]

bro what beef do u got with 2s players bro

[keen pumice]

slowing dowsnt isnt being a goalkeeper. Just dont go upfield unless u are certain your tm8 cant even try to go

[safe plover]

so i js wait till ball comes to me

[prime fern]

Am I wrong though lol? Every game of 2s I play is annoying because it's unpredictable due to them being dumb.

[keen pumice]

remember that a lot of the playerbase is young

[hard mirage]

thats on ur tm8s ??

[lethal belfry]

I’ll add you on dc rq just gimme a bit

[safe plover]

all good

[grizzled sandal]

Anyone need some help? Free and im gc3 just dm

[hard mirage]

u said it urself that 2s and 1s have different criterias

[keen pumice]

thought u were supposed to read the play 🤔

[safe plover]

plat 1 is so weird an stupid and fake

[hard mirage]

fr

[prime fern]

Read how good your teammate is, reading the play even in champ in impossible

[safe plover]

plat 1 is d3

[prime fern]

They see ball they go ball

[tight niche]

yo guys

how do i do twitch rewards

[prime fern]

I thought it would stop in champ but I was so wrong

[hard mirage]

thts not always the case

[keen pumice]

that happens even after gc2, dont worry

[keen pumice]

check yt tutorial

[tight niche]

great idea

[prime fern]

I'm scared

C1 peak in 1s, c3 peak in 2s

[keen pumice]

go play rumble for 20 minutes. it'll make u appreciate 2s

[modern cairn]

hell nah 2v2 is ass

rather play dropshot happily

[keen pumice]

I mainly play 3s or dropshot 😭 everytime I queue 2s its just clankers and/or trashtalk

[hard mirage]

frfr

[modern cairn]

same bru, 3v3 really does take more skill compared to 2v2

more speed gamesense n everything

[hard mirage]

more speed is true

[keen pumice]

if we go by that metric, 1v1 takes more skill so we should just play 1s.
3v3 is a vibe tho

[hard mirage]

skill idk. everyone jumps on the ball more often and there is more chaos in 3s

[keen pumice]

especially if u channel your inner comm and start chasing demos 🔥

[modern cairn]

real, once you get out the ballchase ranks it gets more skillful at that

[modern cairn]

its js in my blood to be that aggressive

[keen pumice]

its so funny. Doing it for half the match and then playing normal. They get paranoid

[hard mirage]

trauma that is

[modern cairn]

quick chatting and getting toxic lol i love to see the rage from the opposition by simply playing the game

[tight niche]

hey guys how to get that one exploasion that has a red skull

[modern cairn]

buy it

only way to get stuff now

[keen pumice]

you pay 25 bucks or something in the item shop

🙏

[modern cairn]

real, $20+ is crazy for one goal explosion is crazy now that im thinking about it

roadside robbery

[keen pumice]

they removed trading to prevent scammers. I think the real reason was to remove the competition

[modern cairn]

how to finally hit gc guys. should i rlly just play game after game nonstop until i get there, even if im on a dry spell

[tight niche]

by hitting it

[keen pumice]

you should have fun

[modern cairn]

js gona ignore such vague responses 🙏

[keen pumice]

have fun is a pretty good response. The more u tilt, the worse you'll play

[radiant timber]

i peaked c3, rn on c1, can anyone coach?

[tawny canopy]

[rancid timber]

What’s ur rank 2’s mmr

[tawny canopy]

low gc

[rancid timber]

I mean we could but that’s just boring

[tawny canopy]

idk i dont q ranked much

whats ur rank

[inner sage]

guys am new to rl
can some1 help me get better at the game

if yes then dm me

[abstract raptor]

Anyone want to run ranked 2s I'm gold but I can't call

[rancid timber]

Normally around gc but I tilt q’d my way to 1290

[hasty chasm]

after 2 hours of queuing i found a decent tm8

[rancid timber]

145 but sure

[kind rapids]

the season 1 gc’s getting out of hand

[prime fern]

By decent you mean you got carried?

[hasty chasm]

no by he actually was the same skill level

[prime fern]

Lol right

[hasty chasm]

everytime i solo queue my teammates are just 50% slower than the entire lobby and make game losing mistakes

[prime fern]

If you are so much better than the average player at your rank that it took you 2 hours to find someone equal then why aren't you carrying your way to winning?

[hasty chasm]

almost a 2v1 atp

when i get a solid teammate we usually end up on a winning streak

[prime fern]

If it's a 2v1 then why can't you beat 2 bad players? If your teammate is bad then that means your opponents are just as bad assuming both your teammate and opponents are random

Unless you are saying that it matches you up with good opponents and bad teammates which is clearly your ego saying that considering that like I said, they are random

[hasty chasm]

honestly id rather talk to a brick wall atp

you'd have to spectate to see it

[prime fern]

Buddy you aren't making sense. I've literally been through the rank you are currently

Because matching you up with good opponents and bad teammates is not how matchmaking works. It doesn't intentionally try to mess you up if that's what you are saying

[hasty chasm]

yeah so you'd know how it is having a teammate who's inconsistent on following up from your plays

[prime fern]

I agree about the teammates, never said I didn't but the opponents are the same lol

So if you are that much better than your average teammate, it shouldn't be hard for you to "2v1" or carry yourself to a win

[hasty chasm]

i mean i do 2v1 but its just difficult im not like gc or something

cant pull it off all the time

[prime fern]

You are the one who claimed you are much better, not me

[brittle lance]

guys can someone help me air dribble am on mouse and keybord

[prime fern]

I can confidently tell you that if you were better than the average players in your lobby you'd be gaining mmr

[hasty chasm]

never said much better in this entire convo 😭

[prime fern]

You said that it's a 2v1 with you and the opponents, if that's not implying you are much better then what is? LOL

For it to be a 2v1 just like you described it you have to be way better than them

[hasty chasm]

thats implying that everyone i queue is automatically worse than me. if that was the case then id just win but i said almost

[prime fern]

It's not, even if "most" of the people you queue are way worse you should be winning more games than losing therefore gaining mmr. You don't have to win 100% of the games

[hasty chasm]

i probably have won more than i lost today only went up a division though

[round helm]

What rank should i learn air roll at ?

[prime fern]

By claiming you are better than the rank you are in your main gamemode makes you automatically wrong. The only case where you could claim that is in a secondary gamemode like for example I'm c1 in 1s(1s main);and c1 in 2s therefore I'm better than my 2s teammates because I don't play enough to reach the rank I belong

[prime fern]

How many games you played?

[slate sandal]

Can anybody help me with simple flicks

[hasty chasm]

honestly cant remember but it wasnt alot

i hopped on at like 2 played some freeplay then played ranked 2s for maybe 1-2 hours

[prime fern]

If you played only a few games and went up a division then according to what you said "most of the time the other players are bad" it shouldn't take long to rank up

[idle plover]

yo are there any steam players who knows smth about steam input best settings? like zen uses or some pro players? im 1750 and have some issues with that

[round helm]

what rank should i start learning air roll and what mechs should i learn in plat 3-d1

[elfin tide]

bro stop trying copy pros and find what u like best

[kind axle]

guys how to get better in general? im at Silver 3 and i can just half flip and hook shot

[elfin tide]

play the game

[kind axle]

1's or 2's?

[elfin tide]

any game mode

U don’t have to ask for advice just enjoy the game

in silver all I can recommend is try hitting the ball

[kind axle]

alr

[elfin tide]

And don’t ball chase

silvers are unpredictable

[round helm]

cus like i'm barely hanging on to plat3 and every week i go back to D1 just to go back to plat3 after 2 days

[rough perch]

is there anyone that can couch me?

[elfin tide]

focus on aerials

[round helm]

with air roll or without

and also any other mechs or tips i cna use

[elfin tide]

without air roll its point less at lower ranks

play more air plats can’t save for shi

[teal jasper]

silvers > plats

[elfin tide]

did u just get sucked

woah silver

auto correct

[slate sandal]

crazy take

[teal jasper]

it's true tho

[slate sandal]

not really

i could cook most silvers i would say

[elfin tide]

as long as your happy

[teal jasper]

silvers nowadays can aerial, basic air dribble and PowerShot

[slate sandal]

no they cant

[elfin tide]

no they can’t

[verbal copper]

who lied to u

[slate sandal]

Are u silver

[teal jasper]

silver 3s can

[round helm]

i'm bronze 4 and i think i deserve GC5

[slate sandal]

u silver?

[teal jasper]

i AM silver

[elfin tide]

Yeah maybe once a decade

[slate sandal]

1v1 me then

im high plat

[round helm]

no hes probably baiting

[teal jasper]

I'm silver 2 I can't air dribble tho I can aerial

[slate sandal]

i can check his tracker

[round helm]

if you are really silver and you can aerial then you need to work on gamesense

[slate sandal]

take the 1v1 i want to see u prove it

[round helm]

or whatever or fundamentals

[teal jasper]

ok Dm

[slate sandal]

add me

[slate sandal]

Hes defo silver

[prime fern]

Have you ever gotten c3-gc1 or are you just saying it for no reason?

[verbal copper]

yeah no u dont ,pal

[rough perch]

ive been c2 couple of weeks ago and i beat all of my friends that r c3 and gc1

im better at 1s then 2s

[prime fern]

What's happening here?

[idle plover]

i mean idk which deadzone is best i played on every single one and i have no clue

[prime fern]

What's ur 1s rank?

[slate sandal]

up 2-0 im throwing tho

[verbal copper]

dont mean u deserve c3-gc lol

if u deserve it youwould have it

[rough perch]

peaked d3 rn im d1

[prime fern]

Tbf it could be because someone doesn't play 2s.

For example i was unranked at 2s for years

[slate sandal]

he is not better then plsts

[rough perch]

i just play for fun with my friends that r lower then me like d2 or smt like that but i know i deserve that rank if i take it srsly

[verbal copper]

yeah i guess but if he dosent play 2s theres no way he would be able to get c3 -gc by just playing 1s.

[prime fern]

If you are d3 in 1s you can't get GC in 2s lol, maybe low c3, just maybe but not above that without playing them for a long while

[rough perch]

1s is way harder to rank up in

[rough perch]

huh? bro 90% of the ppl i meet are gc's in d3

[verbal copper]

yeah i know, what im saying is if you main ones and dont play 2s you wont be able to get c3-gc in 2s without playing 2s.

[verbal copper]

yeah they are, but just because you beat them in 1s dont mean ur better than them in 2s

[idle plover]

should i use steam input?

[rough perch]

now i started to troll in 1s cuz there is no point to tryhard it i cant reach champ or gc in it so i started to focus on 2s even tho i troll there too

[verbal copper]

then dont troll if u wanna imrpove

[rough perch]

last time i tryharded 2s was in a long time i got not teammates and i dont like to play with randoms

[kind rapids]

bros playing in the Truman show

[verbal copper]

find a tm8 then, if you cant then u have to deal with randoms, i mange to do just fine with randoms.

[rough perch]

whats ur rank?

[verbal copper]

im c3

[prime fern]

No he has a point, but c3-gc is hard if you don't regularly play 2s. For example I had never gotten a rank in 2s for my first 2 years of playing and I was a c1 1s main, I played 2s for 3 weeks and got c3

[rough perch]

what region?

[prime fern]

Yes but you don't have the gamesense for 2s LOL

[verbal copper]

region dont matter bro dont listen to people saying EU is better than NA bro

[hasty chasm]

im not the type of guy to blame my teammates for everything but sometimes they do things that i just cant help but question

[prime fern]

No, adds input lag

[slate sandal]

the guy deserves silver

[verbal copper]

welp thats why hes silver lol

[prime fern]

You are clearly the guy to blame teammates based on our previous convo lol

[rough perch]

bro ppl in random are dum asf idk why they ffing when there is time and giving up like they cant play safe they just rush and leave me in a 2v1 back

[hasty chasm]

ragebait...

[prime fern]

Exactly why 1s rank doesn't guarantee a high 2s rank

[verbal copper]

then learn to play depending how ur tm8 plays, if hes agressive play defensive. if hes defensive play agrresive

[rough perch]

im not talking about that im asking for ur region cuz i wanna 1v1 u cuz im bored

[verbal copper]

im EU

[verbal copper]

but i wont lie you will probbaly beat me in 1s, i dont play it that much. But that dont mean ur better than me and deserve a higher rank in2s.

[rough perch]

i cant they just leave me in a 2v1 even if i play defensive they will just demo me and score the open net its way harder thats why i need a tm

[prime fern]

At very high ranks it is but I agree that in GC or below it prolly doesn't make a big difference

[verbal copper]

yeah i qued NA for a few games to see if its true they play exactly the same.

[verbal copper]

just gotta learn to adapt.

[rough perch]

@verbal copper tell me if u wanna 1v1 (its for fun i dont wanna prove anything)

[verbal copper]

yeah im down im not warmed up or anythng tho

[kind rapids]

you prolly do the same shi it’s not like your crazy consistent, you just don’t think of it as much cause in your head it’s like ‘oh I just messed up my mechanic’ or ‘I just side flipped by accident unlucky’ but if it’s your teammate you treat it differently because you want something to blame your losses on. Think of it this way, do you think an ssl could win your games without using advanced mechs?

[rough perch]

give me ur epic its fine we can play best of whatever until ur warmed up

[verbal copper]

i dmed it u

[prime fern]

That's even more pathetic

[hasty chasm]

i mean if i do i just point it out to my teammate but if i do end up like messing up its usually not that important

i try to think about everything i do in the game

[kind rapids]

Even if it’s not important your tm8s are prolly screaming but not saying anything in chat. Back to the question, do you think an ssl without using advanced mechs (1v2ing in the air) could win your games, if so then there has to be a problem with you and not your tm8s

[prime fern]

The last question is dumb, it's very obvious that an ssl can win in plat without any advanced mechs lol, they can probably even win in high GC lobbies

[kind rapids]

Yeah but thinking about it makes it harder to blame your m8s id hope

Gets the point across

[kind rapids]

So is blaming your m8s

[hasty chasm]

okay let me play this scenario

[prime fern]

I agree that you shouldn't blame your teammates but your argument doesn't make a point? An ssl can easily win even a 2v1 in plat without advanced mechs

[kind rapids]

I thought he was like mid champ tbh

[prime fern]

So even if they do actually get bad teammates they can still easily win

[prime fern]

He is p3 lol

[kind rapids]

[hasty chasm]

p3?

[prime fern]

Didn't you say that?

[hasty chasm]

im d1 div2 now

[kind rapids]

congrats

[prime fern]

Pretty much the same

[prime fern]

If I'm being honest, I would even argue that an ssl can 2v1 champs without using advanced mechs assuming they are allowed to use all their basics

[kind rapids]

go on

Yeah I mean that’s the point kinda, if someone using extremely simple mechs that you can do can 2v1 your lobbies then how can you blame your team?

[hasty chasm]

i was in a 2v2 ranked match and it was pretty intense. 2-2 i was mostly playing the aggressor scoring for my team and everytime i scored my teammate either whiffed or just couldnt save a ball on defense so we ended up losing like 4-5

i could probably get a replay but its genuinely so late idk what to do is this situation

[kind rapids]

Why weren’t you back?

[hasty chasm]

getting kickoff everytime

[kind rapids]

Wdym getting kickoff

[hasty chasm]

i had to do kickoffs and won them so i just got full boost and put pressure on the opponents

[frail condor]

Y'all got any private matches? Im sorry for typing in this tab but nobody else has any private servers or anything

[fast stirrup]

The thing is that you could make mistakes that creates a bad situation for you m8 which could lead him to whiff, but then you would blame it 100% on him when in rrality its your fault

[kind rapids]

Yeah but you don’t need to overcommit to do that

Putting pressure ≠ overcommit and hope tm8 survives

[hasty chasm]

bro just backflips on a ball moving at like 60 kph kinda fries but i see your point

[fast stirrup]

This doesnt happen often

[kind rapids]

Even then still 4 more goals that had to come from something

[astral quarry]

anyone wanna do guess the rank

[hasty chasm]

ill probably grab replay later

[hasty chasm]

sure

[astral quarry]

okk

@hasty chasm dms

[tranquil grail]

ugh i cant hit champ and i keep falling out of diamond 3 someone help me 🤷🏼‍♀️

[verbal copper]

do u play with randoms

[sullen helm]

guys why i keep hitting plat3 then straight to plat 1 again, everytime. is it randoms😭

[verbal copper]

learn how to adapt to how your tm8's play. also be more passive only go for the ball whenu know you can 50 it into their half or into a good positon

[kind rapids]

can we ban the words teammates and randoms

[sullen helm]

HOW, they are the most unpredictable targets in the universe

GET OUT!

[verbal copper]

idk how to explain it, if your tm8 is agressive and likes to chase and challenge jsut stay back and be patient. if hes defensive you might have to do more chasing etc

[kind rapids]

Pattern recognition

[sullen helm]

what if hes all of that in 1

[verbal copper]

yeah what he said lol

[verbal copper]

then learn to adapt 🤞

[sullen helm]

i will adapt to throwing teslas at u bro😭

[kind rapids]

I mean he’s prolly behind you if you’ve been on the ball for a few seconds

[sullen helm]

iv'e tried

[verbal copper]

...

[sullen helm]

no infront of me

[verbal copper]

im sorry sir

[kind rapids]

😒

[sullen helm]

i will touch the ball then my teamate is gonna be at there goal looking for a pass while im trying to win a 33/66

thats easy explain plat

[verbal copper]

then dont touch it

wait for himto get back and shadow defend

[sullen helm]

with his 0 carcontrol he is trying to defend yes/Real defend. NO

[verbal copper]

idk bro atp just pray

[kind rapids]

Is this a random ur talking about or ur friend

[sullen helm]

random plats i q with

friends is easy

but i only have 0 friends

[verbal copper]

play with friend or sm1 with comms

[kind rapids]

You gotta trust them to be able to do what you can do

[sullen helm]

WHAT

[kind rapids]

Otherwise you can’t play

Then just lose

[grizzled sandal]

Anyone need help improving? (Free im bored at work/im gc3)

[grizzled sandal]

Just dm me 🙂

[prime fern]

Even though I agree that you shouldn't be blaming your teammates but thats a dumb point, you are not supposed to 2v1 in 2s and the reason that someone can 2v1 even without mechanics is because they have thousands of hours in the game therefore more experience and way better gamesense. What you are basically saying is that since a pro can 2v1 champs or even low GCs, you are bad for not being able to do that. Also important note is that basics>>>>>>advanced mechanics so it's not that big of a deal for them

[verbal copper]

...

[astral quarry]

is c3 with 200hrs good, i peaked 1400mmr

[gray lintel]

🍴

[kind rapids]

A pro can’t 2v1 gcs without advanced mechs, if you mean the retals vid he has to try his best it’s not easy, and the point of removing the advanced mechs is to show that he could win if he only had better gamesense, because with advanced mechs it’s easy to shrug it off as ‘he is just more talented with mechs’ ‘he is a higher rank because he is better in the air and it’ll take me thousands of hours to do that’ compared to ‘I’m just making silly mistakes that can easily be rectified with replay reviews and working on one mistake at a time’ and yes if someone can beat you without trying their best you are bad, I’m bad. It’s not a big deal

[frank wind]

how do i get out of diamond i hate playing with randoms bro and i can play in high champ tho

[verbal copper]

no u cant

nope u dont desrve champ im NOT arguing with u

[frank wind]

u dont know how i play

[astral quarry]

c3 diff to c2

[frank wind]

then mb

[kind rapids]

I was top classes but stopped attending

[frank wind]

but def c2

[verbal copper]

nope

[gray lintel]

Whyyy

[frank wind]

wym nope

[kind rapids]

Rl is more fun

[verbal copper]

if u deserve c2 u would be c2

[astral quarry]

its cool, they start learning mechs and get a fair bit more consistent in c3, but until you get the rank in soloq u cannot play efficiently at it

[kind rapids]

I’m managing to get the grades I need for college anyway tho lol

Lower than expected if I went

[gray lintel]

Im gonna touch you

[verbal copper]

consistency in c3 is horrendus 🙏

[prime fern]

You are underestimating the basics. It's not just gamesense that they have better than you, it's shooting, defense, recoveries, basic aerials and aerial accuracy and speed. Advanced mechs aren't important

[astral quarry]

depends on the game, either rlly bad or rlly good. def lot more consistent than low c2 tho

[verbal copper]

yeah i agree they are more consistent but at one point they play crazy good and then they forget how to hit the ball, and yes i am a victim of this

[astral quarry]

i am the same LOL

we just need more practise

[verbal copper]

its the champ 3 affect bro you cant escape iut

[astral quarry]

im 1400 bro trust gonna hit gc today 🙏 (ts never happening)

[verbal copper]

gulp

my highest was like 1350 🙏

looking for a coach

[marble pond]

Yo im just looking for a teach to help with aerial shots

[astral quarry]

ur best coach will be aerial training packs ngl and learning fast aerial by ytb vids and practising it

[kind rapids]

I think I’ve misconstrued what I said, the entire point of saying allat is to get a point across that the guys teammates aren’t the problem and instead of looking at them every game he should focus on improving himself since if he was focusing on that he could get to the level where his tm8 isn’t important at that rank, I’m not saying “just 2v1” I’m saying focus on yourself if that makes sense?

and advanced mechs are daunting so removing them makes it more palatable

[kind rapids]

I mean when I think to blame my tm8s I just think ‘someone would join this lobby and just 2v1’ I’m focusing on the wrong thing I should look at what I’m doing (not I should just 2v1 just cement that I’m making mistakes too) and it kinda helps

[tidal river]

Guys i have mid mechs but i lack gamesense do i spam 1s?

[tiny sonnet]

please bro give me coaching

i dream of champ

@rough python

[tidal river]

If you play champ lobbies and get equal with them you will burst through diamonds, for me i joined high champ and sometimes gc lobbies but i was always the weak point xD

[mighty valley]

yall got any idea what playstyle i gotta have at gold

[tidal river]

You need to play on the ground and dont fly alot for now

And tighten your defense

[mighty valley]

ye ik how to dribble

ik how to shadow defend too n stuff

[tidal river]

You need to do them 100% of the time correct

The dribbles you can sometimes lose goals just from missing the control

[mighty valley]

do u think these ball chasers even keep the ball on the ground for a second?

bro 80% of the match its in air

[frank wind]

i play only in champ lobbys when i play w my frined

[tidal river]

Okay then punish them with 50/50

[mighty valley]

alr ill try that ig

[tidal river]

Me too, and i struggle to stay in dia 1 because i learned none from being the weak point there

If i was just doing a bit better there i would have learned alot

[frank wind]

i can play in champ tho

[inner rivet]

Any good Xbox settings or binds?

[bright vault]

Go in freeplay and stay on ballcam the whole time.

You'll get used to it. Just put in some more time with it

[velvet temple]

look at your fav pro, copy it

[velvet temple]

the mastery comes from time with and without it, try and get used to it then learn how to toggle it, watching someone like sunlesskan or squishy might help

[loud olive]

Guys ive been playing rl for 3 years straight but still cant do an air dribble ive watched dozens of videos of how but still i would really appreciate it if someone can help me inside the game if yes dm me and ty

[agile iris]

guys could any higher rank in 1s teach my what i do wrong cuz im playing 1s like im disabled lowk i feel like

[prime fern]

What's ur 1s rank?

[bold jacinth]

Coming from a GC3 the weirdest thing I did to get good was watch YT vids of really good pros playing. Then I would hold the controller in my hand and do inputs like its me playing. I see what I would have done vs what they did. Overtime I start to match certain pros playstyles and decisions more. This may help someone

[agile iris]

uhh

[agile iris]

plat 2

[prime fern]

How many hours you got total, what's ur rank and how long have you been practicing it?

[prime fern]

Damn, I could help but tomorrow

[worthy frost]

any tips to help climb out of low plat, but also hopefully out of plat in general

[verbal copper]

focus on the basics like shooting and rotating. if you are in a good position you will most likley win as in the lower lobbies others cant rotate well, if you learn it earlier u will have a much bogger advantage

[worthy frost]

ive been trying that, im not sure if yk how plat is atm but its just passing the ball from one side of the corner to the other corner wiith the ocassional middle pass whiich often gets blocked anyway

and if you do try make space, they tend to just charge at you.

they even challenge like offwall flips

[verbal copper]

in that case, you should learn how to shoot powerfully from your own half or just in general. as long as the ball is high most plats cant reach it due to their lack of airel control. so try learning powershots.

[half plume]

How do I get out of silver 2v2s I am new and I've been stuck in silver for a week or two

[worthy frost]

ud be surprised, they hit the ball noo matter the height. but usually never on target

[rapid pendant]

I just got out of plat a couple days ago. Pretty much what he said. Just knowing you're 1st or 2nd man and playing the role to the best of your abilities, not double committing (trying to know if you can trust your tm8 or not) and letting the opposite team do mistakes and taking advantage

[worthy frost]

how long was the journey haha, ive sort of deranked into gold 3 atm and the teammates are shocking i win 1 probs loose 2 like im not one to usually blame but so many afk, goal campers. and im not one to usually blame them

[verbal copper]

so your saying they ego challange? maybe just keep doing what ypour doing but make sure to follow it up if they hit it out to the side as most of the time the net would be open. or just wait back let your teamate do the chasing and as soon as the ball comes to you which is most definatly will in plat lobbies just shoot, eventually it will go in.

[rapid pendant]

In plat a lot of people play like they cant trust their tm8, I think you gotta let them do their thing and adapt as best as possible

[verbal copper]

yes what you said

2 Slots Left!

[worthy frost]

i think that is probably the best choice

[loud olive]

400 ive been practin for like a year and i dont play rank much but i think silver likr i said i dont play ranked

Btw i used to be an xbox player so that makes it like 900 hours

[wild fiber]

bc i gotta be behind to save when my tm8 messes up his lineup

[wild fiber]

for the 5th time

[rough python]

Its a nightmare cycle

[rapid pendant]

I've played on and off for a long time (about 100hrs of casual playing) and was gold 3-1 most of it. Started playing more ''seriously'' (actually trying to learn) and got to plat then D3 a few days ago in maybe 75hrs

[verbal copper]

then just learn to be patient and defend in akward situations is all that you can do.

[wild fiber]

im more pissed about them trying over and over again and not letting me shoot other than that i am all good with being patient and defending the situations

[worthy frost]

soo what sort of things were ur main things u focussed on to get to d3

[rough python]

People dont trust tm8s so play passively > Tm8 is forced to play more aggresive to balance it > Tm8 overcommits going for shots he wouldnt normally > People have to save for Tm8 and put blame on Tm8 > Trust their tm8 less

[verbal copper]

be patient eventually the ball with fall straight to you. the just bang it on target 7/10 times its a free goal

[rapid pendant]

If your tm8 is on the ball you prob should are 2nd man atp and expect the best AND worst case scenario then try to position yourself for this

[wild fiber]

thats not true all the time tho when i have the posession and dribbling the ball they come zooming behind me and bump me to another map 😄

[wild fiber]

true

[rough python]

Still a trust issue.

If ur tm8 trusted you they wouldnt steal

[wild fiber]

how is a random going to trust me on a random matchup

im good with finding a duo its smooth gameplay but when i play with randoms i come accross all crazy stuff

[rough python]

It comes with the territory of the game. You need to be confident your diamond tm8 can do diamond level things

[rapid pendant]

Tbh, just what I said before.. While watching youtubers like Retals which explains what he does while playing. Even if you take 1/10 of what he said and understand whats your role in most plays.. In plat, most doesn't know their role

[half plume]

hey guys ive been stuck in silver 2v2s for a week or two (im a new player) how do i get out

[rough python]

If he steals the ball he doesnt trust you to do well with it, if you let him chase you don't trust him to rotate well

hence the cycle

[wild fiber]

yea

that ruins the game from the start

thats why comms are important

[rough python]

Anyway ive got one slot left for Phase 1 and no good applications

[wild fiber]

btw @rough python you checked my mmr right?

[rapid pendant]

I play only solo q in 2s and I straight up fully expect the random to play their role until I know they can't

[wild fiber]

im barely D1

[rough python]

No

[toxic orchid]

play normally until you notice a mistake on their end. then switch to adapt to them, you got the strat

[rapid pendant]

ya

[wild fiber]

[rough python]

Im too busy sifting through a bunch of stupids in my dm begging me for coaching then calling me names when i dont give them it

[wild fiber]

thats good ig

LOLLL

what lmao

[rough python]

Had a dude call me gangly and tell me to shut my f mouth cause i said no to accepting his application

isnt that right @placid scarab

[wild fiber]

what even is gangly

[rough python]

like long spindly and sick looking

[rapid pendant]

Didn't know that word either lmao

[wild fiber]

US slang?

[verbal copper]

yikes

[rough python]

We use it in the EU too

[wild fiber]

ive just heard of it

prob little kids or man childs

[rough python]

BRO

[wild fiber]

insulting someone bc they didnt help which was voluntary is diabolical

[rough python]

I need 1 single good application and all of these guys are putting in 0 effort

I've had to fill in the form for these people more times than i want to admit

it's ridiculous

[wild fiber]

jeez

[loud oak]

LMAOO

[rough python]

Nah what are you doing here

[loud oak]

looking for teammates

obviously

[rough python]

Artun this is one of the people i coached previously

He went from like what silver 1 to diamond 3

something like that

Also who looks for teammates in gameplay tips

[wild fiber]

nice

[loud oak]

me because solar is ragebaiting people in rocket league channel and looking-for-group channel does nothing

tips is literally the best channel in this server

[wild fiber]

lol

[rapid pendant]

Well it's also great for education and learning words like gangly apparently

[wild fiber]

thats also true

[pulsar radish]

can someone coach me, im gold 2-plat1

[wild fiber]

are you gonna teach them languages in exchange

[pulsar radish]

my main problem is that i whiff way too much

[wild fiber]

i fixed that mainly switching btween ball cam

worked for me

[tribal trout]

can anyone help me with my air dribble with my carrying i always mess it up

[pulsar radish]

what do you mean

[wild fiber]

you can switch between cams

[pulsar radish]

like when is it good to turn ball cam off

[wild fiber]

while you shoot turn off ball cam it made my shots more accurate

[pulsar radish]

ok thanks

[wild fiber]

its my personal experience tho everyone is different

[pulsar radish]

i probably use ball cam too much then

[tribal trout]

any help?

[wild fiber]

i cant sorry

i cant do airdribblesalso

[tribal trout]

its ight

[rapid pendant]

I'm pretty much trying to learn myself lol.. Just got D3 and decided I want to learn mechs cuz my ball control isn't very good. Spent 2hrs in air dribble training pack yesterday while watching stuff on 2nd screen and it helped a lot

[tribal trout]

ye my ball control bunz but i spent 10 hours in training pack yesterday

[loud oak]

tbh try to to practice them in freeplay and create the setup yourself

its gonna take longer but its much helpful because in games you won't have perfect setup everytime

[rapid pendant]

Went from losing the ball instantly all the time to getting it to the net about 1/3 of the time

[tribal trout]

the setup aint the problem its that im bad on carrying

[rapid pendant]

Yeah that was my next session ahah

[loud oak]

thats just repetition and muscle memory just make sure ur under the ball

[tribal trout]

ight
