I love how down to earth, honest and real you are in this video. There are too many gaming creators that do the exact opposite. It's honestly refreshing seeing a creator like you. Another thing I love is how calm and nice this video is. All other gaming videos I have come across, except for minecraft, are crazy fast, loud, packed eith jokes and flashy graphics everywhere. It's really nice to get a break from all of that.
I work 12 hour shifts. I've got two kids. I'll stick with attempting shots I can't actually make. Cuz every once in a while I'll hit em, and I'll feel damn good about it.
There is one thing you can practice that will most of the time result in ranking up. It's shooting consistency. If you're diamond or even champ you'll see alot of missed shots. The ability to know how to touch the ball and having the control to shoot it where you want will improve your overall gameplay.
yeah im gc3 and still occasionally miss the open net😂😂. My tm8s dont even get mad either, just a "it happens" and we move on. Thats why i love GC3, little to no toxicity (until u get to div 4, then u get toxicity bc everyone wants to get ssl😂)
@@prcxiale1124 there exists a rank without much toxicity? I'm barely gc1 rn and people are more toxic than old mw2 lobbies lol. Most people rage if you miss once (while missing all the time themselves)
really depends. If your shooting is complete wack, then definitely work on it. If it's average, then work on the skill that you love. If it's very good, then that is likely the skill that you love and you should always try to perfect it further.
@@tubax926 I'd say even average isn't enough depending on what we consider average. The average c1 misses too much so they should definitely work on it. Even many gc's myself included are pretty inconsistent for being gc. Also shooting consistency doesn't just make your shots better it can also make your overall ball control better. By practicing shooting consistency you learn how and where to hit the ball which is helping with alot of stuff in the air too. My ceiling shots and flip resets for example got way better because i know where to hit the ball.
@@redandsoulles132 average depends on your rank. Is your ball shooting better than your average lobby? Do you miss shots your opponents would normally score?
I’ll be real, as a gc1 - gc2, just put in time. 1s is best to put time in then free play then 2s if you want to get good. At the end of the day do what you enjoy and you will play more and improve more because you play more.
Most helpful tip in this video for me was to work on your weaknesses instead of trying to improve what you're already good at. Personally I'm very strong in the air but very weak on the ground so having both balanced out would definetly boost my skill a lot and more. Thank you for making me more aware of this.
sometimes it is so specific only coaches or professional can notice it on your gameplay, that's why improving so well might take some time and maybe money
@@Bakingbrad108you have to be very good at everything. While working a bit more on the strongest part of your gameplay. He didnt mean just practice that one thing. If you can focus more on one that will eventually after a LONGGGGG grind be good for you since you will have something you can always use to outmatch your opponent. Meaning you still need to work on EVERYTHING.
@@I1ght961 oh bro, I totally agree. Just simply pointing out how differently people can approach Rocket league, especially at a high level. So cool. RL = Life Than = 9.5/10 (I support everyone’s improvement 😉)
@@Bakingbrad108 Lol I was thinking the same thing. In the end no one really knows, everyone is just saying what they think worked for them. Watch enough videos and you might eventually find a tip that works for you as well.
I struggle a lot with the whole mentality part of the game. Every single match I get pissed and start complaining about the opponents and I can never think possativelly about the tame
I've gotten from gold to champ But I never did it in jumps, it's all just done progressively. But for me, my latest block was just not going for the ball as quick as I could. And for that I was stuck in dia 2. But for others it might be positioning or mechanics, so there's no one size fits all
In my experience, air dribbles are useful from high plat-low diamond, (not earlier bcz no one knows how to use them and you can easily score without that), but in those ranks you need to hit more complex shots, so a well controlled air dribble can easily circumvent a defender of those ranks. Higher ranks can defend, lower ranks can’t defend from simpler shots.
As a Champ 1, Can I just say that if you're anywhere below Plat 2, to get there, it's really simple. up until about gold 3 players can only play forwards, they can only score and save and clear when they are facing the ball. If you learn 360 degree gameplay, so that your efficiency doesn't depend on your angle, It's completely free way to get to Plat 2.
Man, I'm so glad that I kindof just... ranked up. Idk, the only things I grinded was airdribbles in d2 and after that I did like 2 training packs per month. Currently I'm champ 1 in 2s d3 in 3s and d1/2 in 1s. I've been playing since f2p and have like 1000 hours now. I guess I got decently lucky with my mentality and thanks to creators like thanovic and wayton I managed to not turn into toxic waste lol
same, aomehow I just ranked up from d3 to c3 in an extremely short amount of time (like 2 or 3 weeks) I honestly dont know what happened, i guess it just clicked, since I didnt notice anything drastic change in my gameplay
As a gold (technically unranked since I switched to KB/M on PC recently and got a new account) I'm happy to see a tutorial that makes sense. This legitimately looks like something that would help, as it works in the real world too. If only my ping wanted to help me...
i hit a dielemma the game is fun i want to rank up, BUT training mechanics and random crap that moment of when you get it is just so satisfying and fun
The best advice nobody has said that everybody ignores. “Its just a game.” You play it to have fun, life doesn’t depend on it. Well for most people. If you are having fun whether you are winning or losing, you are already winning, the game is a privilege.
No one ever talks about the consistency of how you place your hands on the controller. I want to survey all the pros to see how they hold the controllers. If you just throw your hands on there randomly you won't get consistent inputs.
Definitely hard to maintain optimal outlook when random tm8s do not follow rotation nor proper spacing. More driving backwards and letting loose in Casual Breh.
Could you make some sort of shooting training guide? I can work on flicks and aerials individually, but actually knowing what to do in game, how to get past defenders, and how and when to pull off each type of shot has been eluding me. I'm low diamond right now.
I honestly think it’s mechanics. Everyone I know whose “stuck” never work on mechanics and think that they have great positioning and defense (when they really don’t) those videos on how to rank up with no mechanics have really screwed a lot of people into believing mechanics aren’t important
it depends. Imagine their positioning WAS good. Then they would rank up. However, I do get where you are coming from, so many nonmechy players are sruck because they dont train mechanics, but imo theres more ppl that are stuck due to their gamesense than mechs
It only depends on what your bad at its definitly not all mechanics and even now after those no mechanics people still overrate mechanics for example:"I cAn AiR dRiBbLe In GoLd I sHoUlD bE cHaMp"
How do I get the ball to stop flying around the map in free play? That’s the only reason I don’t really train. I’ll be going for the ball and some random ghost hits the ball away from me
Hey, this is kinda what I was saying yesterday! Need to do less of "omg ball hit it now" and "hey I can see in advance the ball is coming towards me, where do I want it to go and how do I need to hit it to get it there?"
lol most RU-vidrs don’t wanna say this cause they know most of us are just casual players who will realize ranking up should not be an objective and probably just fall out of playing RL altogether which is a proper conclusion for hyper competitive players like myself without proper time to fulfill their full potential.
What if I’m good at positioning in 2v2 and 1v1 but 3v3 I get lost, it’s so hard to read more than 1 teammate and 2 enemies without Voice Comms. I find it hard to actually win consistently without giving up goals or games because of this issue, I still climb but it makes it very slow/war of attrition as apposed to my 2v2 climbing of the ladder
Im plat 2 and im mastering half flip, wavedash bounce dribble and aerial shots. My goal was to hit diamond 1 before april and i play RL two hours each day but i feel like im not improving much, i been training bounce dribble for 6 hours but im still inconsistent it, sometimes i even ask myself if im training the right mechanics. Is carry dribble better? For example.
I would love to use workshop Maps but i play on PS4 sadly. 3 weeks have passed and i noticed some improvements in my bounce dribble. Now im focusing myself in training Shot accuracy, air roll shots and adding a bit of time for carry dribble in my routine
Just come to high plat/low diamond and learn from the players on the other team who are hitting triple reset mustys and double backboard touches. I mean, you're not gonna rank up but you might drop enough rank to not have to deal with the cheating smurfs and you can get good, fair matches.
TL:DW: identify your weaknesses and work on them. Be more in the moment and less on autopilot Personally, I've started to realised i dont want to rank up. Champ is too sweaty. Im fine being in diamond forever
I’m tired of being gc1, on my way to ssl fellas 🔥 If you read this take this tip also, watch road to ssl without mechanics by Flakes, you’ll realize how much we all suck below ssl and what to do about it
Thank you for the tips Myself I don't believe in learning mechs early on I have gotten to diamond and I learned half flip 2 weeks ago. My dribbles are non-existent so that's what I'll slowly build on next. I have a set schedule for myself with 2 hours of gameplay a day That isn't a crazy amount but I think I'll get somewhere someday either way I am not shooting for SSL I just want to get better and feel like I deserve my rank lol I'll probably extend that playtime once I am comfortable streaming for that long.
here's the thing. it is 100% possible to get to champ without any mechs, but it will take you an unreal amount of time to learn how to counter all the high mech plays that your opponents do. It's far quicker to focus on learning the absolute basics like powerful consistent shots, bounce dribbles, powerslide cuts, recoveries and aerials, then gamesense your way up to champ. You will get there 3x faster this way. After learning and being consistent at the absolute basics, pick one move that you like (shooting, ground dribble flicks, air dribbles, etc) and practice it whenever you can to improve it. It will serve as your sword and shield to get you out of any sticky situations and create way more scoring opportunities, plus it doesn't take much time to master a single move if you're constantly using it in competitive games (you will mess up a lot at the start). You'll feel great about having it developed so much, that when you use it you basically look like an SSL player (your other mechs would be extremely average though). Not time efficient, but we aren't robots. This allows you to have fun at the game while grinding.
@@tubax926 Thank you for the reply I'll take all of this into account for after my stream and just whenever I get on. My shots really need some work lol
what if my weakness is gamesense (mostly when to challenge and when to fake challenge)? I'm C3 and now mostly play ranked after a quick warm up cuz i think I can really only train this in ranked.
you can only train ur game sense by playing ( 1's is definitely the optimal option here ) but u can also look for other weaknesses u might've missed out and work on improving them
i just watched this and im trying my hardest to improve but my fucking teammates keep throwing, tell me why the fuck hes sat on a boost pad otherside of the map while im in a 1v2 with 17 boost, he keeps double comitting, hitting the ball off my car while im dribbling nd i tried to score an open net and hes gone nd "redirected" it but hit it onto backboard, im done with this game, im c2 div 1 and im going against previous gc's
Two strategies for new players: Strengthen your best mechs needed for one playstyle (dominate some players, countered by others) Strengthen your weakest mechs (gives you a big toolset to pick from in game but requires you to use your brain heavily to analyze your opponents weakness and counter them since none of your mechs are mastered enough to be difficult to counter)
Ok bruh everyone can turn their volumes down but no one can turn it up enough for how low your volume is. I shouldn’t have to put in headphones to watch your content
shiiit... i've been grinding since 2021 so 2-3 years and been Hardstuck C1-C2 for half of that peaked C3 on Xbox then switched to PC 4 months ago and still C2-C3 after 3 years after dumping hours in Lol..... about to just quit cause i want to have fun with life not waste hours grinding to go nowhere
@@DemiGodXBL😂. If you truly don’t and never liked the game then im sorry, you WASTED ALL YOUR TIME. Also no need to make a comment seeking people’s validation lol
@@DemiGodXBL at a certain point you will realize that you have the mechanics necessary to rank up but you don’t have the game sense to correctly apply mechanics. If you do your OWN vod reviews it will help you more than Freeplay, until you rank up and have to grind replay to get faster and more consistent.
#1 way to rank up...Dont solo que 3s and 2s...find mates! Cause you will ALWAYS end up with 2 ball chasers that got carried to their rank and think they are the zen of the team but always whiff their shots and blame you!
Honestly, I feel like this video not only applies to Rocket League - but applies to life overall perfectly. Having a positive mindset, staying consistent, setting achievable goals. All stuff that applies in so many places!
not for everyone. Setting achievable goals is very counter intuitive for some people. For me for example, if I know it is achievable, then why bother doing it? I prefer doing things way beyond my means, and after weeks or months of practice and trying to achieve it, the easier stuff becomes so easy to the point that I say "ehh why not". Same with staying consistent. I make the most progress when I play in bursts of a few days, take a break for a few days, and return. Maybe staying consistent on a weekly/biweekly basis. Positive mindset also. Being insecure about the what you're trying to get good at can unsheathe unimaginable levels of drive and determination. Definitely no "i suck and i will never get good at the this" stuff though, that I agree with. Just understand that you are indeed bad, and that you need to do SOMETHING (take action) to get better. The video is just a generic formula to improvement. It doesn't apply to everyone 100%, but there's something everyone can take from it.
@tubax926 I think you are misunderstanding what "achievable goals" means. It is a goal that you have not accomplished, and one that can be very hard and very challenging, but keeps in mind limitations. You cannot just set the goal to reach ssl in a week if you are bronze and expect it to work. "Stuff beyond your means" is still an achievable goal. You do not have the means, or skills, or whatever, but you can obtain those if you work hard enough, to eventually reach your goal. (Proving it is in fact, attainable) The point is that you there are impossible goals, easy goals, and challenging goals. Staying within your limits does not mean you are not accomplishing a goal that pushes you further then you've ever been pushed, but rather a goal that is actually achievable through real world steps, instead of something literally impossible, like building a rocket that will fly to the moon with no experience and only the stuff in your backyard.
