Jonas#2222: ^ Parzival#1467: lol snokbaz#2903: atm gold in 3v3 silver in 2v2 snokbaz#2903: peaked at plat ๐Ÿ˜ Tangil#3830: Wanna play 2s casual tomorrow? Parzival#1467: yeah, the game isn't fast enough for it to matter a lot below plat 2s/3s imo, but high ping still makes a big difference imo snokbaz#2903: it does, but i can't* see that coz i never played on low ping server bah#2368: Calling me out about what? snokbaz#2903: yeah, hit me up when u r free , redox snokbaz#2903: just read my silver story, bah Tangil#3830: About being in silver and hitting ceiling shots snokbaz#2903: also, since everyone here is undercover rlcs pro snokbaz#2903: what should i do when i push the ball along the wall to enemy's corner Parzival#1467: im undercover silver Tangil#3830: You should retreat back to mid
snokbaz#2903: if i just let it roll on the wall, goalie will hit it far Tangil#3830: And your teammate takes the shot Tangil#3830: I mean this strat works a lot in silver Parzival#1467: ok so im low champ and i still dont know Parzival#1467: tbh snokbaz#2903: 1) how to pass so that goalie doesnt block 2) and so i can solo follow it up snokbaz#2903: most of the time my team isnt ready for pass snokbaz#2903: in 2v2 its common that im in enemy corner vs 2 guys and my teammate is defending our net Parzival#1467: yeah i've seen that lmao snokbaz#2903: i dont wanna leave a ball, i wanna make a play or smth but have no idea how snokbaz#2903: xD Tangil#3830: If you're trying to roll the ball up the wall to pass to your mate, it's not going to work a lot of the times. The best passes that I know of are passing to your teammate from somewhere not in the corner. E.g. from one lane to the other side lane snokbaz#2903: not necessarily to score but at least to keep possession/pressure Parzival#1467: you may as well just try to roll it so it drops in front of the goal
Parzival#1467: at least they have to go up, and u can get boost or whatever Tangil#3830: Yeah silvers can't defend that well also snokbaz#2903: i have trouble going up the wall after i started horizontal movement Parzival#1467: yeah at higher ranks they will go up the wall and save it that way, but not in silver Tangil#3830: In higher ranks they'll usually aerial it instead of going up the wall snokbaz#2903: should i just stop dribling right before i get into corner area? snokbaz#2903: but then how do i stop balls momentum snokbaz#2903: it will roll slowly and enemy will boom it Tangil#3830: If you're going with the roll up wall strat, keep pushing the ball until it starts to roll up the wall high enough, then retreat to mid pitch or your half of the pitch so your teammate can go for the shot snokbaz#2903: maybe i should go above ball and awkwardly nosedive it snokbaz#2903: make a weird bounce and follow it up snokbaz#2903: xD Parzival#1467: you need to hit it diagonally up the wall so it falls in front of the goal snokbaz#2903: i need to test it, but usually i start that dribble from my corner after stalemate snokbaz#2903: dont have an angle to start diagonal drible
snokbaz#2903: so most of the time its goes horizontally snokbaz#2903: hmm snokbaz#2903: Rocket League | Tutorial: Walls & Corners (Part 1) with 30+ in-game examples snokbaz#2903: lets check Parzival#1467: it doesn't matter where you start. just drive away from the wall then turn back to the ball and flip into it snokbaz#2903: https://youtu.be/rfv97kEiu1I?t=78 snokbaz#2903: ignore tutorial just check out merc with this boost snokbaz#2903: amazing snokbaz#2903: shame numbot doesn't use boost bah#2368: @Tangil can @snokbaz hit them or something? snokbaz#2903: lol ๐Ÿ˜„ snokbaz#2903: u missed the joke Tangil#3830: I think what dtracers was suggesting is that you're a player who tries ceiling shots in silver, like the player snokbaz has met in online matches dtracers#9598: Yeah you have to scroll up to see the context of the conversation dtracers#9598: for it to truly make sense
bah#2368: @Parzival my air dribbles keep getting better bah#2368: i've hit like 4 more, today bah#2368: @dtracers https://medal.tv/clips/3813741/d1337B6ifxKn dtracers#9598: that is better than i will ever be able to do bah#2368: are you serious???? dtracers#9598: yes bah#2368: tf? dtracers#9598: but i could defend it super easily bah#2368: this is my 4th day trying them... bah#2368: ik bah#2368: but the average silver cant bah#2368: lol dtracers#9598: Yeah i tried for weeks ๐Ÿ˜› bah#2368: im silver in every mode bah#2368: https://medal.tv/clips/3813708/d1337zmSXq9B

snokbaz#2903: gold in 3v3 bah#2368: Huh bah#2368: I just don't know how to really strategize in 1s bah#2368: I could probably make it to gold in 3s, but 1s are so hard for me bah#2368: I'm s2, rn snokbaz#2903: i figured thats its better to be patient bah#2368: I'm super aggressive in every mode bah#2368: Always have been snokbaz#2903: i played aggressively in ones when i had like 250 mmr ( bronze level) , was plat in 3v3 though snokbaz#2903: couldn't do shit with the ball, still cant snokbaz#2903: but it just happened that i didnt challenge one ball, opponent made a mistake and i scored snokbaz#2903: so thats became my strat snokbaz#2903: now im silver 2, 363 mmr snokbaz#2903: i think below gold everyone is complete shit snokbaz#2903: so u can just let opponent make a move and fuck it up

Tangil#3830: I got pretty far just by playing normally and not hard carrying jeroen11dijk#1178: I did the same jeroen11dijk#1178: then I tried carrying and ended up way worse jeroen11dijk#1178: and then I couldnt get carried anymore snokbaz#2903: define far and in what tiem frame bah#2368: lol im better than gold, mechanically snokbaz#2903: and also to be clear, by hardcarrying i dont mean ball chase every all snokbaz#2903: but u have to be top of a score board every game (if u think u r better than a current rank) snokbaz#2903: also act accordingly if u have ball chasers in ur team snokbaz#2903: u can't commit if u know 2 of ur teammates gonna go for that ball etc snokbaz#2903: isn't fun but playing to win alion02#1973: @Mal am ready snokbaz#2903: well, if u r better mechanically then positioning must be ur problem snokbaz#2903: pick a game when ur team didnt afk from a get go and analyze replay snokbaz#2903: join official RL discord and send a replay for a review
Tangil#3830: @snokbaz far as in gold to diamond 3. Time frame as in 3 or 4 months Kipje13#9878: you cant be stuck in any rank because of your teammates Tangil#3830: Just play good enough and you'll rank up Kipje13#9878: and deffinitly not in gold 0x57696c6c#3433: I'm stuck in gold because I don't play Tangil#3830: I disagree 0x57696c6c#3433: and I suck but that's secondary Tangil#3830: Gold is hard specifically because your teammates are bad 0x57696c6c#3433: I play 1s Tangil#3830: Even if you know rotations your mates won't Kipje13#9878: and so? the opponent has 3 randoms vs 2 randoms on your team Mal#5601: @alion02 ummm, I kinda started streaming anarchy btw Kipje13#9878: if you are better than the rest in your rank you will win more games on average alion02#1973: well fuck me as always Mal#5601: I'll be done soon
Kipje13#9878: I sure lose games because my team mate is terrible, but I also get some freebees because my opponents suck jeroen11dijk#1178: not if you miss all the open nets :smart: Tangil#3830: Even if you're better than average your mates will hold you back in G1 and g2 Kipje13#9878: for one game yes, not on average Tangil#3830: You need to be way above average to cross gold with randoms Tangil#3830: From my experience Kipje13#9878: please explain to me how all the bad people are always in your team? shouldnt the opponent have the most bad people on average? Tangil#3830: I'm not saying the bad people are always on my team? snokbaz#2903: @Tangil so u r basically saying u have to hard carry Tangil#3830: Actually yeah Tangil#3830: For gold at least Kipje13#9878: if you play like a plat, you wont be stuck in gold snokbaz#2903: well, im talking about gold, plat to some extend snokbaz#2903: same principles can apply even in gc, but u have to be pro player to pull that off snokbaz#2903: also yeah
snokbaz#2903: when i first got to high gold, i was pretty comfortable in that rank Kipje13#9878: remember that you only need to win more than 50% of your games to rank up, not 100% snokbaz#2903: g2- lowish g3 snokbaz#2903: but when i climbed to plat mmr (in a week or so) i noticed significant speed increase snokbaz#2903: i would be useless like in todays dropshot game snokbaz#2903: i dont know rotations of a dropshot and my shit mechanics cant bail me out snokbaz#2903: there was obvious difference between you and me snokbaz#2903: obviously i deranked back to gold really fast, then my real grind to plat began snokbaz#2903: i sucked for a while, but then tryharded . i would never cut rotation, go in as a 3rd snokbaz#2903: climbed back to plat and speed was that impressive. simple because i knew what i had to do snokbaz#2903: but my mechanics were still shit, so i was kinda boosted snokbaz#2903: i would let my team do a sick aerial while i defend net snokbaz#2903: then i realized that i peaked. im not going any higher and decided to ball chase - be that aerial guy snokbaz#2903: and obviously i failed more than i succeeded snokbaz#2903: back to gold
snokbaz#2903: so there is obvious reason why im not ranking up; imo everyone below diamond is either shit or not good enough snokbaz#2903: and those flaws are easy to spot axelalex2#5793: CoolStoryBob snokbaz#2903: yup axelalex2#5793: how many hours did you play in total so far? snokbaz#2903: diamond is an arbitrary cutoff, maybe its even below champ or smth snokbaz#2903: 300h according to steam snokbaz#2903: first 100-150h or so i played casual with bronze-silverish friends Kipje13#9878: Well that is relative to where you are in the ranks axelalex2#5793: 300h in gold is (a little above) average, so you are doing fine so far, just need more playtime axelalex2#5793: if you want to rank up obviously snokbaz#2903: not just playtime snokbaz#2903: i need to practice things snokbaz#2903: i gold to gold and basically plat for a first weeks of my ranked experience just after 1 guide about 1-2-3 rotation snokbaz#2903: thats the only thing that placed me in gold
axelalex2#5793: what would you say do you struggle with? snokbaz#2903: i whiffed alot(still do) but i was a guy in a net snokbaz#2903: well. now i struggle with my teammates snokbaz#2903: they are either complete shit or we absolutely have 0 chemistry snokbaz#2903: but on serious note i struggle with everything snokbaz#2903: i can't dribble (not so relevant in 3v3 but i play 2v2 and occasional 1v1 as well), i cant do proper diagonal flip for a kickoff snokbaz#2903: i miss most of my aerials snokbaz#2903: i can't pass and powerclear snokbaz#2903: so as u can tell im total garbo snokbaz#2903: also when i practice dribbling i question if i should stick to controller or switch to keyboard axelalex2#5793: Aerials and powerclear will happen a lot in the higher ranks, passes as well, but they are harder to train on your own, diagonal flip at the kickoff is a little addition, you don't need yet, but it certainly would help for the general feeling of a good kickoff. snokbaz#2903: lack of input precision pisses me off axelalex2#5793: How do you practice things, tho? snokbaz#2903: i didnt practice anything but dribble snokbaz#2903: i mean i practice powerclaer in training pack
axelalex2#5793: that answers what, but not how snokbaz#2903: but that was 10-15 min snokbaz#2903: well, i practices dribble in custom packs or free play with bakkesmod ( spawning ball on top of a car, coz i cant roll it manually) snokbaz#2903: after my recent tilt in ranked, i switched to workshop maps snokbaz#2903: trying speed jump - rings snokbaz#2903: i had a 1v1 game with a 6 - 7 score (overtime) snokbaz#2903: opponent scored 3 or 4 kickoffs in a minute snokbaz#2903: it was a 1 - 4 start or smth, had to bust my ass of to comeback snokbaz#2903: so after that i decided that i have to practice diagonal kickoff if i wanna play 1v1 axelalex2#5793: workshop maps are a very good way to train certain things, especially air, car and ball control snokbaz#2903: atm there is no point for me to play 1v1 coz i either lose by kickoff or just can't control a ball snokbaz#2903: i would get past opponent but cant put ball in open net axelalex2#5793: kickoffs are important in 1v1, but general gameplay and understanding the physics in the first place should be your focus snokbaz#2903: and if u put in with a ball in corner u can go afk to make a tea snokbaz#2903: its so common for me to drive under the ball when i go for a dribble attempt
snokbaz#2903: than i have to do 360 and try again snokbaz#2903: while opponent stares at me and laughs Parzival#1467: if you grind 1v1, you will improve axelalex2#5793: did you play the dribbling challenge #2 by FrenchFries already? snokbaz#2903: lets see alion02#1973: ah i should try and finish that soonโ„ข snokbaz#2903: i played some challenge, not sure if its #1 or 2 snokbaz#2903: played #2 axelalex2#5793: in #2 you always carry the ball on top snokbaz#2903: i cant reliable beat 1 lvl axelalex2#5793: practice, practice and practice axelalex2#5793: get a feel for the ball on your car and the ball indicator ring on the ground helping you with that snokbaz#2903: the thing is ,if we talk about dribbling in straight line, im far more comfortable doing that on keyboard snokbaz#2903: im wondering if thats because triggers have some gradient acceleration or was it placebo Parzival#1467: there is definitely no reason to play on keyboard. i learned on kbm and switched to xbox360 controller after about 330 hours
snokbaz#2903: well, when i press right on KB i know its gonna be right snokbaz#2903: not some sharp angle axelalex2#5793: a few players prove, that KBM can be as competitive as gamepad, so there is no reason for one or the other primarily snokbaz#2903: well, FEW players snokbaz#2903: if majority plays on a controller there should be a reason Parzival#1467: controller inherently has better control due to analog sticks, but that alone doesn't make it objectively better than kbm axelalex2#5793: since there is still a minor delay when using analog sticks, if you want to go full up/down/left/right axelalex2#5793: and they are unlikely to hit diagonal perfectly twobackfromtheend#1471: 100 digits of pi is inherently better than 40 digits of pi, but the difference in application is negligible snokbaz#2903: my 2 controllers broke last month so i had to play on KBM while i was deciding if i wanna ply buy one just for a rocket league Parzival#1467: im my opinion, the freedom of analog sticks outweighs the consistency of wasd snokbaz#2903: i sucked so bad in clutch moments snokbaz#2903: even if KBM is a good option it will be hard mentally to make a transition snokbaz#2903: even though im bad, im have a certain expectations of my gameplay snokbaz#2903: and playing on kbm isnt on that lvl
snokbaz#2903: learning powershots and dribbling would be enough for me snokbaz#2903: thats the basic tool that will bring me into high plat low diamond elo snokbaz#2903: but i just cant get a grasp on dribblign at all snokbaz#2903: i see progress in aerials map snokbaz#2903: but nothing in ground play ( snokbaz#2903: also btw, little context of how shit my mechanics were snokbaz#2903: i was bronze in 1v1, 2v2 when i got to plat in 3v3 snokbaz#2903: xD Parzival#1467: i would think thats due to decision making Parzival#1467: anyhow, dont switch to kbm lol snokbaz#2903: also, is there rank decay due to inactivity in RL ? Tangil#3830: Nope alion02#1973: you cqn become unranked tho snokbaz#2903: k, pls sort next things in priority order at a plat-diamond lvl: ground dribbling, ability to powerclear (with some precision), hitting aerials, wallplay, rebound snokbaz#2903: wanna play all game mods
Tangil#3830: Wdym by rebounds snokbaz#2903: hitting a ball after backboard touch or smth snokbaz#2903: or did i call it wrong way Tangil#3830: Like you aerial the ball into the wall and then it bounces and you aerial it after it bounces? Tangil#3830: Wall as in goal wall snokbaz#2903: yes, but not necessarily i put it into the wall by aerialing Tangil#3830: Yeah you don't need to know how to do that at plat Tangil#3830: Maybe at high diamond Tangil#3830: Unless I'm understanding wrong snokbaz#2903: ur understanding is correct Tangil#3830: If it bounces from the wall at a low level then yeah you need to know how to hit it but not anything high bah#2368: back to carrying myself, now bah#2368: turned around the losing streak bah#2368: and won 2 in a row bah#2368: going to a movie, tho, now
bah#2368: at least im back in the upper half of gold 2 snokbaz#2903: nice, keep it up bah#2368: im a highly momentum-based player bah#2368: if i get on a losing streak, i get tilted and start really fucking things up snokbaz#2903: well, but then u have a joy of a winning steak during climb back axelalex2#5793: in that case, you should take a break, and get your mind cleared up, maybe even playing not at all the same day Tangil#3830: My personal list for a plat player based on what you gave: Power clears, hitting mid height aerials, wall plays (nothing fancy), ground dribbling, rebounds I only play 2s so might be different for other modes snokbaz#2903: fucking wall plays snokbaz#2903: the moment camera changes its angle im lost Tangil#3830: By wall plays I just mean being able to hit the ball on the wall, not like starting air dribbles or anything lol snokbaz#2903: huh. maybe i should drive up the wall without ball cam on Tangil#3830: Switching to car cam when on the wall helps me a lot snokbaz#2903: yeah, i didnt mean anything fancy either
snokbaz#2903: its just i miss the ball 90% of time when i go up the wall Tangil#3830: Pro tip: side dodge instead of forward or backwards dodging if you need to dodge into the ball when you're on the wall and the ball is slightly away from the wall but still within dodge distance axelalex2#5793: car cam on wall? yikes snokbaz#2903: car cam when u drive up the wall Tangil#3830: I can't explain the tip that I said properly, but there's a part in a sunless khan allegiance uni video that explains it well axelalex2#5793: but that tip is correct axelalex2#5793: always dodge towards the ball, if on the wall, forwards and backwards is not towards or alongside the ball trajectory snokbaz#2903: ideally i wont touch ranked untill battle pass comes out snokbaz#2903: have 1.5 week to practice. will see if i'll have any improvements jeroen11dijk#1178: I still have no clue what to do here snokbaz#2903: page not foudn jeroen11dijk#1178: https://gfycat.com/RightOffensiveHorsefly jeroen11dijk#1178: I still have no clue what to do here axelalex2#5793: i don't see an issue with that clip jeroen11dijk#1178: yeah but whats the follow up
jeroen11dijk#1178: like that ball is gonna roll on the back wall slightly axelalex2#5793: well, even before that, you took some time to get grounded and further accelerate, then there would be less space to the ball left jeroen11dijk#1178: if I was extremely fast I could dribble it inwards before it hits the back wall jeroen11dijk#1178: but I get in this position so often jeroen11dijk#1178: and nothing works jeroen11dijk#1178: except the occasional roll it up the wall and hope he misses axelalex2#5793: because there is no proper solution to it, ball rolling up the wall, away from the goal, you on the wrong side of the ball; even if as fast as possible, as soon as you got around the ball to get the proper angle, the opponent likely has recovered and can take a challenge, so make sure you don't get into a position like that. Which is why i suggested, you should have been earlier on the ground, or using boost earlier in general. Sciguymjm#5935: Well I would have waited closer to back post and caught his really bad touch for a dribble if you wanted to score it Sciguymjm#5935: but thats mechanically a little complicated Sciguymjm#5935: overall I think you did fine Sciguymjm#5935: He wasn't following up on his touch so you had free reign if you waited. But I can see being impatient and a little bit scared. I would be axelalex2#5793: you could have even cleared the ball towards the right side wall, so it bounces back to you, you had the angle to do that. But as soon as you took that challenge, and didn't immediately hunt after it, the ball was unscorable. snokbaz#2903: is it possible to challenge early (while the guy in the corner) boom the ball into the wall so it bounces back into the net ? snokbaz#2903: also, whats the best course of action in unscorable situation Sciguymjm#5935: are we talking about the situation in the gif?
snokbaz#2903: so u keep ball possession and opponent doesnt accidentally boom it snokbaz#2903: yes axelalex2#5793: i'm not good enough in 1s to tell, if you should outright challenge players in the corner Sciguymjm#5935: well where the gif starts I wouldn't have challenged Sciguymjm#5935: when the ball is in the corner it's not a threat axelalex2#5793: at some time you need to stop them, but just go for them? idk Sciguymjm#5935: they can't take a shot on goal Parzival#1467: i think he is interested in what to do in the situation at the end of the gif Sciguymjm#5935: oh hmm Parzival#1467: which is a question i cant answer snokbaz#2903: i know thats not a threat but if u hit it really hard it should bounce directly into the net snokbaz#2903: well, there are 2 questions Sciguymjm#5935: i mean you can grab boost and center it, or if they're fast to recover wait for their touch (1) snokbaz#2903: 1) what to do in the end of a gif 2) different ways to approach situation Sciguymjm#5935: but I would always make sure you have boost (1)
Sciguymjm#5935: (2) Don't challenge in the corner unless its a surefire 100% win Sciguymjm#5935: worst thing you can do is lose a 50 in the corner and center it for the other person while you recover Sciguymjm#5935: wait for them to make a touch and go off of that, unless it's in a situation in which they have an easy shot jeroen11dijk#1178: yeah its more the situation where I win a 50/50 or flick the opponent and it will for certain roll up their back wall jeroen11dijk#1178: yeah I mostly go for the corner boost then jeroen11dijk#1178: and then try some funny business Sciguymjm#5935: that wasn't the ideal touch in the situation, it's not very controlled so you shot yourself in the foot snokbaz#2903: would going for left middle boost , then going for a ball be a good decision ? Sciguymjm#5935: yeah Sciguymjm#5935: just put yourself in a good place for the next challenge snokbaz#2903: red guy should still be slower right Sciguymjm#5935: yeah, but you might not be able to score it Sciguymjm#5935: he could also just pick up small pads on the way, and not waste all of his boost on the challenge Sciguymjm#5935: no need for a big boost here Sciguymjm#5935: he had 40 leaving the challenge
Parzival#1467: im personally interested in if there is a strategy to score that reliably at the end of the gif Sciguymjm#5935: no Sciguymjm#5935: its not a good touch snokbaz#2903: yeah, with 40 small boost pads would put him close to 80 Sciguymjm#5935: i mean if he picked up 5 on the way, that's 100 total twobackfromtheend#1471: in that situation I would look around for teammates, see none, then leave the game because 1s is aids Parzival#1467: lmao jeroen11dijk#1178: can we ban @twobackfromtheend axelalex2#5793: as i said, there are 3 factors which make this situation unscoreable: - up the wall - away from the goal - you on the wrong side of the ball jeroen11dijk#1178: but you still can have possesion albeit in a horrible location Parzival#1467: i would probably go for corner boost and see what the other player is doing. is there a better solution? snokbaz#2903: but why
axelalex2#5793: depending on his position, demo him axelalex2#5793: but in this case, he was too far back snokbaz#2903: if u play it right, u already at 100% boost and attacking from a corner isnt that good Parzival#1467: its not realistic to gett 100 off small pads in that position i think Sciguymjm#5935: I mean if he recovered quickly, he is pretty much right behind you Sciguymjm#5935: if he followed a boost lane he would Parzival#1467: the other guy would beat him flipping Parzival#1467: the only viable lane i see is towards the corner anyways Sciguymjm#5935: he doesn't need 100 and also he doesn't need to just boost, flipping with boost is faster anyway Sciguymjm#5935: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/373900457845850112/564201100299993088/unknown.png Sciguymjm#5935: no good situation though imo Parzival#1467: yeah im saying that lane takes you to the corner, and the ball is up the wall at that point unless im reading it wrong, so you would get corner boost Sciguymjm#5935: i mean sure, yeah. Parzival#1467: but ur still screwed unless psyonix makes the ball come off the wall axelalex2#5793: there is still no best solution working in 100% score, so,
Parzival#1467: yeah but there must still be a best plan Sciguymjm#5935: yeah just a bad touch rip axelalex2#5793: i'm sure there is an optimal way to play the game in every time, but noone knows that Parzival#1467: well i sure would like to know haha snokbaz#2903: that feeling when u kinda beat the guy, have a ball but cant dont anything with it snokbaz#2903: hard to accept "small defeat" axelalex2#5793: happens, and you need to be able to do that Sciguymjm#5935: just don't get scored on axelalex2#5793: GC strats Parzival#1467: :smart: snokbaz#2903: oof, finished speed jump trials map in 6:48; last time i played it, it took me 17 min to finish a level and it wasn't even last one (didnt finish last) snokbaz#2903: improving at aerials rings as well. need to figure out how to transition that skill into real gameplay Sciguymjm#5935: training. packs. dtracers#9598: yeah if only you could make custom training. packs. snokbaz#2903: does anyone have a problem of missing forward input frm a controller so u double jump instead of flipping forward?
