I feel like most yourtubers often don’t explain exactly what sensitivity in rocket league actually does, so for anybody who doesn’t know, sensitivity does not actually change the max steering/air-pitch value, rather it acts as a multiplier- Assume that rocket league registers no tilt on your joystick as a steering value of zero and a maximum tilt as a steering value of 1.00. Before rocket league registers a steering input, the steering value is first multiplied by the steering sensitivity and is then registered. For example with a sensitivity of 1.00 and a joystick tilt 60% the way to the end of your joystick (or a steering value of 0.60), the game will do the calculation of 0.60x1.00=0.60 which will be what the game registers. Likewise with a steering value of 0.30 and a steering sensitivity of 2.00 the game will register your input as 0.30x2.00=0.60 which will be the steering value of your car. So you might think that with a steering value of 0.80 with a steering sensitivity of 2.00 your input would be registered as 0.80x2.00=1.60 and that your car’s maximum steering value bumped up from a 1.00 to a 1.60 and you can steer at a steeper angle, however this is not the case. Rocket league sets the maximum steering value at 1.00 so it would be more like 0.80x2.00=1.60=1.00 So essentially, in competitive rocket league, sensitivity dictates how quickly you can start turning at max speed, for example with a sensitivity of 10.00 you can reach the max steering value with just an input of 0.10 on your joystick. In my opinion I find that the extra few fractions of a second quicker you are able to start turning max speed is not worth the lost precision which is why I play on 1.00 sensitivity, and this is also why the ex pro player lethamyr also plays with 1.00 sensitivity (he touched on it in a video of his). But like spookluke mentioned this is a personal preference thing and he found that he was able to overcome the lost precision that you might feel through practice plus his hours in game. Also because of the fact that the maximum steering value never goes over 1.00, steering sensitivity on keyboard and mouse does nothing as their are no analog inputs on keyboard and mouse. I hope this helps someone, and whoever’s reading this I wish you a good day/night😊

Im really hopeing everybody doesn't just run around with 0.5 deadzone and 2.0 sens now, because consistency is going to go out of the window even for GC1 ish players. there is nothing wrong with using higher controller deadzones, if you find yourself overshooting your movements all the time even with experience, then turning your deadzone up to 0.9 or even 0.15 will help you. Just because you feel faster doesn't mean you are, if your constently having to correct your movement because its all to twitchy then your going to be slower, not faster, when your spinning as much as a pro does with directional air roll then this is not as much of an issue.

Zen does not have air roll right on R2, he's consolidated air roll left and brake/reverse on L2. In theory you could map air roll right on R2 but it leads to issues with what is usually mapped on R2,such as acceleration, so you'd have to have pinpoint precision on recoveries. You'd have to change the rest of your controller scheme up to map it without conflict with other controls.

Real nice mate. I just wanted to learn about deadzones and i got the full experience.😊

First thing i did when I started playing was put directional airroll on the left trigger, best choice I ever made. I kept jump, boost and camera where they are because I'm old and I learned to use a controller when they only had 2 buttons, so I'm fine with using my big old thumb to roll around the buttons.

this was very helpful thank you for this

Thank a lot for this video its helping me a lot Spook luke air row better

This was so helpful

Thank you for the video. I couldn’t tell if i needed to change the DEADZONE or the SENSITIVITY to move faster

Thanks for this. Big time helpfull.

Came in clutch with this one ngl

This helped so much bro

Thanks it helps alot

thanks for the vid dude!

Just changed my boost to right bumper with slide and stick air roll set to left number. Feels great. Trying left and right roll on x and b respectively.

W coaching keep up the good work

Thank u for the settings

What about input buffer? Keep it at default or are the other options better depending on your area and Internet?

Love the vids🔥

wow man thanks for showing us what to put our settings as

thank you a lot

i didnt have these videos when i started rocket league lmao, i recently switched some keybinds and i actually love them for me

thanks!🙂

Thx dude

Bro lives in future

If you use the stick for driving forward and backwards i recommend binding boost and directional air roll to the triggers

Thank you

My guy telling me he is not gonna waste my time and then continues to waste my time with a bunch of fluff instead of getting to the settings.

Should you have your deadzone higher with ps5 controller?

Funny enough, I do actually know one high GC who uses controller vibration (or at least he did as of last time I talked to him, though it's been a while). I first met him August 2019 when I was still Plat 1 in both 2v2s and 3v3s (I'm now Diamond 2 in 3v3s and Champ 1 in 2v2s), and he was about C2-3 in both, but got placed on my team in a Plat 1 3v3s lobby because he had just switched to PC from one of the console versions and was doing his placements. Anyway, his explanation for why he used controller vibration was that it allowed him to feel the ball on his hood when he was dribbling. While this sounded logical, and I'm sure it works for him, I've never liked controller vibration (in any game, for that matter, not just RL).

Hey, what about steam settings? Did you change the shape of the deadzone etc? How you set up your controller on steam?

The editing tho fire

I have had my direction air roll on L1 for YEARS and had some friends copy me, ZEN just made it popular.

thank you, now i'm better than before

Now so good

Thanks I did everything I could btw I’ll catch u up later if I get better😅

Sawesome!!😊

Thank u Luke, your videos always help me

this guy is gthe best RL settings teacher he made me change my controls for the better but I cant really do my right air roll now

Good if not great video for beginners, W editing

this guys editor needs a raise

Luke tysm I went from plat to champ

GC1 and I use controller vibrations . I love it lol

Ehy luke can you make a video about sensitivities???

Because of you I am better😊

What Controller sensitivity is recommended for me as I am diamond 1, thanks for the info :)

my pc lags really hard when i try to use fullscreen im not sure if i should keep using it or not

A couplemonths ago you said render detail should be performance. Now youre saying it should be high quality. Which is correct and why?

What dodge deadzone should be the minimum?

I'm on square dead zone after watching Mactufs videos I feel faster but if square dead zone only good if your freestyling because I'm trying to get better at recovery after resets

Is it better to play in 4:3 resolution or 16:9 resolution?

Damn didn't notice it's a new video😂

When people say what rank they are, what mode are they talking about?

I'm trying to combine a competitive style with freestyling style. I think I'm the first and only person to use Cross deadzone AND square deadzone at the same time. How you ask?? I'd love to share my secrets. It works really good and allows you to do stalls easily without sacrificing the input deadzone window.

Hi! I have a ps5 controller, but I see that almost 90% of the pros use ps4, is it worth switching?

What decal are you using?

I have bassicaly the same keybinds as zen and i had no clue who zen was😂

I tweaked some settings after watching this video, and it felt instantly better. I think I may have crossed a threshold where my settings were holding me back from breaking out of Diamond. My deadzone and controller sensitivity settings were terrible.

Which deadzone shape do you use?

i put airroll and power slide on square, and personally i put my boost to L1 because it feels good to me. what button should i change it to?

DAR on L2 is actually what makes Zen better than the rest. I've played 6k hours with both DAR at one speed and now im 1k with only ARL in L2 after a hard change and the difference is way bigger than the world thinks. Its not only the movement, but how easy it gets to control the car and how clear it gets when to use each AR. Apart form being the most fun par of RL. Zen has more fun and he is more relaxed than the rest when he plays, even if it sounds silly. Defenetly meta and it will get more important in the next years...

Can we get a kbm settings video

@SpookLuke, I have a question regarding the last part of the video. At any time should I use steam input dead zones. I'm currently using cross; do you think it would benefit me if I do away with steam input dead zones?

What is the best sensitivity for a champ

Can u do a coaching program for silver to gc?

I didn't know we were in 2024 yet. 💀its just for fun love your vids luke ❤

Bro, how do you turn full screen on on Xbox?

everyone recommends 0.05 for deadzone, but I need to use 0.10 because all my three PS4 DSs have 0.07~0.10 stick drift I wonder it's just my bad luck or my country is importing the bad ones 😂

I’ve been using air roll left on LB (Xbox) this entire time I didn’t know that’s a rare thing ☠️

Bro needs to get to the point, this should be a 2 minute video fml

My man rizzo getting the smoke lol

plz make 1 for kbm users also

I use controller vibrate because it feels more like your playing the game xd no camera shake tho that is goof

i am on nitendo switch, if i use on the pro controller boost on the r bottom and air roll with powerslide on the zl, will be fine?

I now understand the term “sweat” 😂

Wait, so Boost must be in the R1 button, because Air Roll and Powerslide are in L1 and Drive forward and backwards are in L2 and R2, right?

Do you use DS4Windows to make the controller work? I haven’t seen anyone talk about that or if they have separate settings on there that affect the game

Well i change my binds from defaults plus air roll left/right on l1/r1 To Boost r1 Power slide/airroll left l1 Airroll right on square

I tried the controls 😅 1 second i was hating it could only drive and bost at once

Omg how do you know that I wrote "best rocketleague settings "

What about the TAInput config and changing the DoubleTapTime and the TapTime to 0.1 ? I cant find any Infos about that ..... just like the deadzone in earlier days where we didnt have any ingame option for that.

So I can't play with a ps4 controller on PC without ds4 and I'm sure those setting make a huge difference any idea how to set that up or is there a way I can play without ds4

I feel like i play better with vibration on but I'll keep trying without it

Home boy talking bad about thanovic that crazy

After a few bad games and being angry you might need to turn up the deadzone because of the stick being way to whacky 😂

Stick drift is the killer of dead zone

Hey their, I am on xbox, were should I bind to boost to?

is there a big disparity between ps4 and ps5 controllers? i noticed a lot of people stick with the DS4 instead of going up to the PS5

1:50 I swear to God I was solo quing high c2-c3 and idk if my teammate was a bot but I checked replay to analyze my mistakes and bro had camera shake on and this was this season

YUHHHH

I have a scuf so alot of this didn't really affect me that was considered negative like the "fat fingering" portion so still not sure on what key binds make sense still

Bro I'm doing this on my switch and when you said camera preset and I look to my switch because you said if you have a certain mod you can there's an extra setting on switch I have no mod and I still have it for some reason I don't know😂 (edit I'm going to use legacy)

Can you make a ps4 tut?

hey im kinda new to rocket and my controlls are l2 revurse r2 forward and l1 to jump r1 to boost and r3 to drift and airroll right left right joystick and airroll left left side joystick should i change them bc im so used to these settings?

Why is there no PC Guides?

ssl and ex pro player batourl uses camera shake ( mostly to annoy his chat )

when i do the render detail and turn off the effects it turns into custom so to make it high quality i need the effects on (i am on keyboard)

Is this the same for switch?

I’m so used to playing with circle as boost, do you have any suggestions of how I could retrain it to R1?
