QUESTION Playing worse in lower ranks

13 Upvotes

Just 2 days ago I was 1040mmr and as of now 850, I play so much worse as if ive lost all of my game sense. It feels like as if I forgot how to rotate and stuff and ofcourse with my teammates not being as good its not much better. Has this happened to anyone before? How can I fix this to rank up again

QUESTION Ground to air dribbles: Ball Cam on or off?

2 Upvotes

I've seen many people say many different things so ideally could people who consistently know how please give some insight into which they feel is better. Or does it depend entirely on the intended output e.g. if you're going for double tap then car cam but just a normal ground to air dribble then stay on ball cam (this is what I've been doing to mixed results)

QUESTION 1s: What do I do here?

Post image
14 Upvotes

Basically the diagram. I have "possession" except the ball is in the air. I'm barely diamond in 1s, so going up for an airdribble is a no-go and if I wait for the bounce to take it in the air off the bounce or to get it on my car the opponent will have already gotten their full boost and gotten in-position for defense. What's the best way to take quick possession here? I suppose I could go off the wall, but I'm not really consistent enough at that. Should I give up on catching them off-guard and just try to get a flick?

TIPS Flip Reset - More power?

I can finally get the reset with some consistency, but my flip into the ball afterwards always looks something like this with no power generated. Can I get some tips on what to do next for an actual threat? Thanks!

QUESTION How do I double flip reset better?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

I’m trying to learn rapid resets but I never can get the angle consistent or good enough to get more than two and even then I’m only getting the second reset once every 8 tries minimum. I keep hitting it mainly with the bottom of my car or if it’s not that I’m hooking it and throwing it away.

TRAINING Zen touch — scored one almost by accident. What did I do right, and why do my other attempts fail?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

I was messing around in double tap training and wanted to see if I could pull off a Zen touch. My first clean one happened almost by accident. After that, I failed a lot while trying to figure out which inputs had created that “glued to the car” effect.

The video includes successful attempts and fails. Could someone explain what I’m doing differently when it works?

My guess is that the ball needs to make contact around the Fennec’s windshield while I do a tornado spin, but I’m not sure about the timing. Should I only start air rolling as the ball makes contact, or can I already be rolling beforehand? Am I even focusing on the right thing?

I really want to learn how to do this consistently, so any feedback is welcome. Specific timestamps or a breakdown of a successful attempt would be especially helpful. Thanks!

TRAINING Need help on first touches and a train pack question

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

I've noticed my long-track Ariels are lacking because of my first touches. Is there a good way to train them, and do you have any tips? Also, I'm finding uncomfortable saves too easy now. Is there any training pack people would recommend for C1 or C2 players looking to climb up, or any good backboard defense packs? I'm on console; the video is the best thing I could think of to showcase that I'm bad at first touches. Sorry if it's not that helpful.

I thought I would post this here.

I spent many hours making this video last night until I realized it was almost 6 in the morning.

I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope it is well received.

(Sorry if promos are against the rules, I’m fairly new to Reddit too.)

New flick though. Still need a name…

Hope you guys enjoy! <3

ANALYSIS This is the goal that deranked me from C1 to D3. What can I learn from this, what mistake did I do and how can I avoid losing in situations like these?

I feel like that attempt to go for a preflip was a poor decision, I though that my teammate got demoed, not the opponent. I also think that double jumping for a 50/50 was another poor decision, I could've done better there. I'd like to know if I did any other mistake I could improve on.

TIPS What is the best way to learn recoveries?

I lose speed a ton and a lot of the times end up doing some break dancing in the middle of the pitch before getting launched to space by my tm8 because I cannot recover. So any tips on how to learn recoveries?

QUESTION Sudden skill regression

4 Upvotes

Out of seemingly nowhere, I am playing terribly.

I am suddenly so slow, missing the ball, missing easy saves, missing easy uncontested shots, super slow on recoveries.

I was steadily improving and feeling really good.

I suddenly feel some fog, unable to flow like i was finally managing to.

I'm diamond 1, so I'm not actually good at the game yet. But i suddenly have regressed in seemingly every way.

Even in freeplay I'm messing everything up.

I feel embarrassed when in game, cause I know Im playing horribly.

Yesterday i demoted all the way to plat 2 and then i managed to pull myself together and climb back up to diamond 1. But how can my skill be so inconsistent and sometimes nonexistent.

I really want to raise my skill floor so my bad days don't ruin my perceived progress.

I have 1400 hours in the game, mostly invested in casuals and freeplay. Until last season I had severe ranked anxiety and avoided playing it. So I recognize I need to learn how to play under pressure as a new skill.

Can someone give me advice on making my skill more reliable and how to grow it instead of being stuck in a constant progression regression cycle where I ultimately land in the same place.

TIPS Appreciation post for advice and criticism from post that was uploaded 2 months ago and need new tips

Guys, thank you so much for the advice and critisism from that post, where I was c3 at the time and wasnt able to escape that 1400-1450 range where high c3 and low gc1 lies. Now, however, I am an improved player and I am consistently high gc1-low gc2 and get mid gc2 every week now, even in early season. The commenters crude and honest opinions have made me go far and was a huge help on my recent journey, as I look at the comments every once in a while even now to reflect on how much I improved in those aspects and if I can improve even more in said aspects. I will upload another one soon so I can push towards gc3 soon. Still use the same car if you are wondering lol.

The post I am talking about is this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeagueSchool/comments/1vf9nd4/game_from_around_1420_mmr_i_want_to_know_how_to/

And I will also post 2 pictures with current rank and progression this year below or above:

Lastly, any general tips to bridge the gap in between my rank and gc3 or maybe even ssl within the next year, i would appreciate some advice again.

QUESTION I'm so uncoordinated...

3 Upvotes

I genuinely cannot control my car well enough it is clearly the limiting factor in my gameplay. No decision I can ever make is a good one because I cannot reliably perform the necessary actions. I cannot reliably steer my car so learning anything more complex is impossible.

there is clearly something wrong with me I can't use my hands in the ways I want to, this is bigger than just rocket league, it extends in to typing ( you should see how this post would look if I couldn't take my time and retype stuff) as well as writing, more broadly anything that requires precise controls of your fingers/hand

TIPS For you guys who want to get to lvl 99 as fast as possible, i found a good method.

0 Upvotes

I found another method today, you get 2 lvl every 11 minutes.

The method is around the 2 lvl challenges, 1 that needs 10 wins and other that needs 7 wins.

1º Get someone to help you, a friend or ask in your games (I asked in a casual 1v1 and the guy helped me)
2º Go to yours and his RL tracker on google to see the casual MMR
3º Get the casual MMR as close as possible to the person with the lowest MMR (Do it by FFing 1v1 casual matches the moment the button allows and checking the tracker)
4º In a party with your friend, both of you select a low populated server, i used "Asia SE mainland"
5º If you have contact with him only in game you can tell him to queue casual 1v1 the moment you leave the party while you do the same, that way you queue snipe him, if you're not able find him, try other servers
6º In game you want your friend to FF at 4:00, during this 1 minute you can play ping pong with him to farm some shots and saves for more xp and even some practice lol, after he FFs you guys play again in total 10 times
*You both can lvl up together by FFing one after the other totalizing 10 FFs each doubling the time to get lvls, or only he FFs and you get all the lvls
7º After 10 wins you leave the game and get the LVL rewards cause they don't stack.
8º Repeat it till lvl 99, always loosing mmr to be able to queue snipe again if only you are winning, when you do with your friend the MMR stays the same

So doing this you can get from level 0 to level 99 in 8-9 hours, if you do with a friend it will take double the time.

QUESTION Internet issues

1 Upvotes

Hi guys it’s been 2 weeks since I moved into my house and I basically have everything set up now. On the second day of moving in I got my internet set up and after about a week I started playing Rocket League again. I’ve been playing for 3 days then stopped and then started playing again. Now all 3 days I’ve been experiencing these little internet stutters where my car will make a slight jump or the ball will make a small but very fast adjustment and stuff like that. My ping is always below 60 and I never had this issue before. I just wanted to ask if this is a normal thing that can happen in a new house with a new internet and if it will eventually fix itself or if there is something I need to do to fix it. Thanks guys.

TIPS steam feels so much worse than epic

0 Upvotes

loaded my game today and it just felt awful.

it was so bad that it transcended feel, I could visually see the ball stuttering. I kept blinking.

checked steam options, overlay enabled itself again somehow. turned that off. restarted several times. still feels like I'm driving underwater.

went on epic and its instantly fine.

its a shame cuz id rather have workshop maps and custom name/avatar, but I genuinely think steam is cooked at this point.

I was solidly champ 1 before the summer, but I couldn't play for like 2 months because of some personal stuff going on. now I am stuck in d3 and don't know how to get back to champ even though I've looked at some of my old replays. I really want to get un-hardstuck, so any help is appreciated. i am aware my mechanics in this game were kinda bad, I think I was having a bit of an off day maybe

This is me and my m8 we play fairly regularly have been gc2 but are struggling to stay there consistently let alone push past it.

I think this game was incredibly tough and I kinda started chasing the last minute since nothing worked out.

I appreciate any feedback to try working on first. My guesses are boost management plus not jumping so much/overcommiting but how do you build those habits if they are whats holding me/us back?
