By having it at Standard Boost is probably an entry level issue. Newer players aren't used to 1.5 boost and if they keep missing, they would just leave. So while it nerfs higher skilled players, it picks up those who are just wanting to try something new with the same boost skills. This would be a great mode to practice aerial shots and reading aerial saves or sniping saves. For the higher skilled players, this would also be good for practicing aerial passing plays.
@edgeribble ur are a little slow arent you... the games physics havent changed. just the acceleration applied to the ball is increased conpared to standard play. the physics engine never changes
@@edgeribble ball speed would not change the angle of a single bounce. After several bounces sure it'll be in a different spot then normal, but again that's due to the speed not the physics changing
Im a gold player who has difficulty with aerial shots. I love this gamemode because it allows me to practice aerials and controlling my car in the air. I really hope they add this to private matches.
Have you tried scoring and then leaving the ball on your side without touching it at kickoff? I want to know how many gold's would try to go for the ball.
@@Doctor_Dank I had a friend who had me hardstuck at bronze with him in 2v2. I am a diamond 3 player and can carry any random to gold/plat. with that said I havent played in about 3 years now. But my friend would always ballchase and ragegame. He would never listen to input and never improved. I tried for 4 months to play with that guy, and FINALLY got him to silver 1. Id force him to watch over plays and replays, and tried to the best of my ability to explain in a sunlesskhan or leth kinda way. I then had to just outright stop playing with him, because he would never practice, never improve. People dont want to practice by practicing, they want to practice by playing. Its sad. After not playing with him for over a year, he came up to me one day and showed me his progress. He started to practice just half an hour a day, out of sheer frustration of only meeting likeminded people who would never practice or understand core mechanics like shadow defence, rotations and what not. he is now champ 3 in 2s. Practice pays off. I dont understand for the life of me why people will not practice in a game where practice is the only way to improve.
Seeing splitshot gave me an idea for another game,... imagine volleyball rocket league where you can't go to the other side, with a wall like split shot only the ball can go through. When the ball is on your side you can't touch the ball twice. So when you make a touch/pass or shot to the other side or your teamate your car become ghostly like the ball will go through the car if you were to attempt to touch it again hence can't touch it twice. But it resets when teamate touch the ball then your car turn back in its normal properties. And scoring would be obviously whos teams drops the ball. Essentially the floor is open like dropshot. No floor tiles only the transparent floor to drive jump. Of someone already made it then im late to the game lol
This is one of the oldest custom maps (recently revamped for the apex event leth ran) except the number of touches and consecutive touches isn't enforced in game just an honor thing.
They were asking questions about the mode. Not me screaming the whole time saying "check the game mode description in the playlist it tells you everything" the whole time 😭
it was so interesting playing a brand new gamemode that everyone starts at 0 mmr in, cuz i got into back to back games with Knightyuh while i’m a lowly C3 lol it was really cool
Who remembers when Jon and Rizzo did a challenge like this years ago? No wall obviously, just the invisible line. I wonder if Psyonix got the idea from them
I a really really enjoyed it. Me and my buddy aren’t very good, so seeing people constantly be deleted because we accidentally drove over the barrier is so funny for some reason
gamemode is mid solo queue as lower skill players - quite often goes 5 minutes into overtime because no one knows how to shoot so they just keep hitting the ball hoping for it to go in
U have to try heatseeker 2v2, the meta will be one is in the goal the other one is hovering above the enemy goal for redirects, works pretty good, sick goals
edit: i wrote the comment before watching the video only having played the heatseeker variant i didnt even know there was other variants what. But point still stands, splitshot heatseeker is so much better than regular ------ i like this more than regular heatseeker. regular heatseeker, redirects are kinda OP, they're way too easy to shoot and way too hard to properly defend. This mechanic balances it out a lot allowing for long rallies which is way more fun imo
yea i think a lot better it will be with normal ball with no boost becouse lower ranks will teach about boost menagment and try to freestyle/air dribble/ground pinch or pass from wall/ground to friend who crossing middle in air or something now we have ball chase with randoms hits ...
As somebody who doesn’t play boomer often, and also hasn’t played this mode yet, I think that normal boost might be better when people don’t play boomer a lot. When I have played boomer, I felt that the 1.5 boost throws me off. Now of course I haven’t played the mode yet and this could be completely wrong but this is my pre-gameplay perspective and potential excuse for why they haven’t changed the boost

Apparently, according to YT gaming recap, I'm in top 0,1% of Leths viewers, watching 56x more than the average viewer
Split shot is great honestly, i have a 11 minute ot it was so intense and we won by my goal. Its better than stupid heatseaker, no demos, no much level required and its fun and simple too
@Doctor_Dank well they already added a wall to prevent players from passing and we've had a custom volleyball map for years now so they could add it if they really wanted to. Kinda dumb too considering we have a beach ball with beach ball physics and multiple beach maps.
Yeah, it's fun, but I wish there was a version with x1,5 boost, because you fall too fast. Also, the muffled sound behind the barrier is a little annoying.
This is such a great mode for all those players that don't know how to boost properly, what a waste though luckily I stopped playing about a year ago. x:x
I love this mode. I always got mad at normal heat seekers demo chasing on the other side of the field so to have them demoed once they leave the half. I absolutely love it.
dont normally comment but gotta help out my man JG. I saw him hit a Double off a corner redirect and then scream "Im disgusting". Tbf it was a pretty gross shot
People may not agree, but this new mode probably wasn't the best decision by Epic and Psyonix. It's not that friendly to the casual and low rank players, and most of the higher rank players don't play casual game modes like this unless it's some kind of mod on PC. The split shot for Heatseeker is refreshing, but the regular mode is probably gonna die off quick.
Ok this might be a mute point but seeing this gamemode and freeplay pisses me off ngl... I know there are many ppl glazing up the devs "uh they so nice and the work so hard... things will get better... yada yada yada"".... First the splitshot... it's kinda embarrassing that they even dare to put it into any announcement... Its basically soft boomer mode with instant death when hitting other side... This was done years ago with "the floor is lava"... there is no way this would take any custommapper longer than a day to throw together... next the freeplay... this too was done years ago... I remember a friend of mine had custom map with two balls so we can freeplay in between games... this freeplay is basically just having ppl connecting into a normal freeplay map. Worse even, there was no thought spend on the functionality of ball control.... this also can't take a dev longer than an evening to throw together.... We all are used to have RL not developed at all and after the debacle of RocketRacing the devs told us they would focus on RL more. And ofc ppl believed... Now we see what their full focus gets us... Some underdeveloped slob... What kind of skeleton crew is working over there when every single vid Leth uploads has more content in it that a years worth of devs work.... This is straight up insulting that they think they can give this little and ppl still say "you give it all"... I'm sorry but RL is a solved game... Servers, physics, mechanics... It's all developed and not that hard to maintain, especially when you got Epic who might not care for RL but have the infrastructure to keep servers running smooth. All devs are doing is fucking up new hitboxes and reskin a map every few months... Ah yeah and lets not forget that they even fucked up the pro scene... Even if the only person in charge of RL would be an intern I'd fire him for being lazy/incompetent
Still can’t play on Xbox because it’s capped to 60 frames and there’s a half second input delay making aerials impossible and turning on the ground unbearable. It’s been a week with no patch, absolutely crazy.
yea i think a lot better it will be with normal ball with no boost becouse lower ranks will teach about boost menagment and try to freestyle/air dribble/ground pinch or pass from wall/ground to friend who crossing middle in air or something now we have ball chase with randoms hits ...
irrelevant but it came to me when i watched this. RL should let you trade in black markets for credits. maybe individually instead of in groups of 5 but yeah. i have so many blueprints going unused and a fair amount black markets i'm not going to use and can no longer trade... :/
Agreed, 1.5x boost would make this feel so much better. Great vid Leth

Why is it good practice if the ball has different physics?
@@edgeribble cause the physics are the same, the ball just moves faster. most reads are identical just faster
@ if the ball moves faster then the physics are different.
@edgeribble ur are a little slow arent you... the games physics havent changed. just the acceleration applied to the ball is increased conpared to standard play. the physics engine never changes
@@edgeribble ball speed would not change the angle of a single bounce. After several bounces sure it'll be in a different spot then normal, but again that's due to the speed not the physics changing
Leth ngl it relieves me so much that you were also struggling with the boost… because I felt like such a noob trying this yesterday lol
Im a gold player who has difficulty with aerial shots. I love this gamemode because it allows me to practice aerials and controlling my car in the air. I really hope they add this to private matches.
You could also just go into a private match and turn on boomer in mutator settings
Have you tried scoring and then leaving the ball on your side without touching it at kickoff? I want to know how many gold's would try to go for the ball.
You could also just go into free play and you know... Practice your aerials. 🤷♂️
Really, don't feel bad for not being good at aerial in gold, start focus more on them in mid plat - low diam I would say
@@Doctor_Dank I had a friend who had me hardstuck at bronze with him in 2v2. I am a diamond 3 player and can carry any random to gold/plat. with that said I havent played in about 3 years now.

0:51 JGs intro was hilarious
His voice is amazing. Especially when he wheezes from laugh or simply rages.
yes actualy funny
first 4 words actually went hard

Leth already made this lol. But it would be cool if they added it to rl
This is one of the oldest custom maps (recently revamped for the apex event leth ran) except the number of touches and consecutive touches isn't enforced in game just an honor thing.
That would be tough to code ghost cars.
Someone should definitely make that! It would be very cool!
@@Lethamyr lmao
Man they actually did something cool to the game, how they add this as a mode you can play
YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't get too attached it's going to be here for a few weeks at most like everything else.
Bro Leth frantically trying not to die on their side like it was the end of the world was hilarious!
They were asking questions about the mode. Not me screaming the whole time saying "check the game mode description in the playlist it tells you everything" the whole time 😭
Ngl I like the regular mode not so much the heat seeker but both have been a refreshing change to this game
Before even watching this, I actually love the idea/concept of the game mode. It is a cool idea, and adds a fun twist.
it was so interesting playing a brand new gamemode that everyone starts at 0 mmr in, cuz i got into back to back games with Knightyuh while i’m a lowly C3 lol it was really cool
I just realised Split shot is one of the many "minigames" they had back in very early RL. I hope more of them are reintroduced.
Wow that’s interesting
Jg and coconut are together again. Guaranteed fun video
Leth is gonna be a split shot pro 👀
Who remembers when Jon and Rizzo did a challenge like this years ago? No wall obviously, just the invisible line. I wonder if Psyonix got the idea from them
i can see this being fun with your friends and if your good at the game
its so fun imo. lowkey wish there was comp
0:51 Ok, but that was actually a banger though 💀
In higher levels, the insane plays are not as cool as the level under ssl, we compliment great hits, even in champ and GC
6:53 Well The Players Knew Leth Look At The Chat
I a really really enjoyed it. Me and my buddy aren’t very good, so seeing people constantly be deleted because we accidentally drove over the barrier is so funny for some reason
I think the boost makes sense for the majority playerbase of plats and diamonds. Fast boost speeds are super tough with no car control
You should host a rocket league tournament with this game mode after people get used to it and see how creative teams can get
Y'all. It isn't a sound. They just remove most of the high end from the audio. Pretty straightforward and VERY satisfying.
Split shot is a blast
Won’t lie I played more of the new mode in the last two days then ranked anything! Love the new mode!!
gamemode is mid solo queue as lower skill players - quite often goes 5 minutes into overtime because no one knows how to shoot so they just keep hitting the ball hoping for it to go in
Hs splitshot is so fun, because you can still redirect but it requires much more skill 😊
I enjoy this mode more than either hoops or dropshot. At my level its half chaos and half sick shots.
U have to try heatseeker 2v2, the meta will be one is in the goal the other one is hovering above the enemy goal for redirects, works pretty good, sick goals
I love your vids Leth
edit: i wrote the comment before watching the video only having played the heatseeker variant
i didnt even know there was other variants what.
But point still stands, splitshot heatseeker is so much better than regular
------
i like this more than regular heatseeker.
regular heatseeker, redirects are kinda OP, they're way too easy to shoot and way too hard to properly defend. This mechanic balances it out a lot allowing for long rallies which is way more fun imo
They need to make this mode easier to get air dribbles in. Maybe use the hoops ball or something.
Split shot is fantastic for heatseaker, fixes the demo issue of heatseaker lol
yea i think a lot better it will be with normal ball with no boost becouse lower ranks will teach about boost menagment and try to freestyle/air dribble/ground pinch or pass from wall/ground to friend who crossing middle in air or something now we have ball chase with randoms hits ...
why is JG lil argumentative & rude to Coconut
Agreed, bro sounds jealous

Split shot is great honestly, i have a 11 minute ot it was so intense and we won by my goal. Its better than stupid heatseaker, no demos, no much level required and its fun and simple too
Split shot is actually so fun bro
Still waiting for them to add volleyball
You're gonna be waiting forever buddy, hate to break it to ya. 😕
@Doctor_Dank well they already added a wall to prevent players from passing and we've had a custom volleyball map for years now so they could add it if they really wanted to. Kinda dumb too considering we have a beach ball with beach ball physics and multiple beach maps.
Haven’t had a chance to try it yet but it looks fun
So does this mean we have more gamemodes to look forward to in 2025?
Hopefully. I hope they make a water polo game mode
This game mode made leth and friends look like foir's garb league 😂
Coconut just trying make sure everyone is Ear-Responsible 🥁🥁t’sss
This mode is like every low rank lobby that only BOOMS!! 😂😂
On a 1v1 with normal boost, i.ld like it... ❤
I was hoping Leth would make a video on this game mode.
I love splitshot!
I was hyped for an air dribbling freestylish comp 1v1 mode...thanks Pysonix (and epic games).
Glizzydealer making their debut on leth's channel 😂
Rocket League freeplay: Is the ball in the room with us right now?
isnt the ball just made lighter? instead of it having more bounce?
Yeah, it's fun, but I wish there was a version with x1,5 boost, because you fall too fast.
Also, the muffled sound behind the barrier is a little annoying.
I have question
How to remove the white from training maps? My car is also white
How can i remove it? Do i need bakes mod
Yes u need bakkesmof
jg sounds like hes upset because we told him hes wrong her sister was a princess. the wicked witch of the east bro ...she came in on a bubble bro.
12:30 I just said it’s a floater a second before him lmaooo
I didnt see this!!! When was it added?
Last I played was day before last, but now I'm tied up for the next 6 months 😭
ts actually fun bro
Tbh, i got in a game , nobody scored for 5 min then overtime came and nobody scored for also 5 min , best game ever😂
No shot RL added something that's not a cosmetic 😅
This is such a great mode for all those players that don't know how to boost properly, what a waste though luckily I stopped playing about a year ago. x:x
Wait, weren't there YT videos years ago of content creators doing their own version of this? Did Leth do one? Am I going crazy?
1600 casual in south africa is like doubles , mustys, resets , helies you see it all at 1600 here
imagine this as a ranked game but with no ball boost
I love this mode. I always got mad at normal heat seekers demo chasing on the other side of the field so to have them demoed once they leave the half. I absolutely love it.
LETHHHHH LETS GOOO
GlizzyDealer420 is a crazy name
i can say definitively that this mode is NOT for low ranks... I'm Plat and both time I played the game went 10min OT and 14min OT 😂
you have to be good to play this mode lmao
also the W.I.P. decal is broke on the original lambo
I swear sit shot has been a thing forever
Yo leth, yt stats thingy told me that im in the 0,5% of your most loyal viewers❤❤❤
I would like 1.5x and fast recharge boost rather than infinite
My connection always is terrible as well
You Had It Because Of The Ceiling Reset Before This 😅 12:13
dont normally comment but gotta help out my man JG. I saw him hit a Double off a corner redirect and then scream "Im disgusting". Tbf it was a pretty gross shot
You guys already somewhat played this years ago lol when you couldn’t go into the opponents half 😁
Change your demo transation to max speed!!!
Bro I see jg hit those doubles in my 1200 lobs all the time
19:03 who is JG
Leth can you do like a normal 2v2 game but every 30 seconds whoever is on the ground explodes and whoever is in the air stays alive
Or 10-15 seconds
i thought it was volleyball, but its just defender mode
Not a big fan of the update since now if your controller DCs due to any reason you get kicked from the match. At least on xbox
"it wouldn't surprise me if they reused assets" bro with how big the game has gotten ever since Epic took over, they are storing duplicate assets. 😆
People may not agree, but this new mode probably wasn't the best decision by Epic and Psyonix.
It's not that friendly to the casual and low rank players, and most of the higher rank players don't play casual game modes like this unless it's some kind of mod on PC.

Shock, epic and Psyonix being bad game developers, not like the past 6 years having been bad decision making over and over again 😂
tbh, i just want to be able to queue rumble, snow day, and dropshot all at the same time again. 😔

1st it is boomer ball without boost strength and 2 if you want a fast recovery just die it’s a lot faster
As a gold, split shot sucks, tons of kids ball chasing and whiffing all over the place to the point it's not fun.
yea i think a lot better it will be with normal ball with no boost becouse lower ranks will teach about boost menagment and try to freestyle/air dribble/ground pinch or pass from wall/ground to friend who crossing middle in air or something now we have ball chase with randoms hits ...
let’s play 🎉
irrelevant but it came to me when i watched this. RL should let you trade in black markets for credits. maybe individually instead of in groups of 5 but yeah. i have so many blueprints going unused and a fair amount black markets i'm not going to use and can no longer trade... :/
It completely ruins my idea of rotation, but it's surprisingly fun... the low pass filter is a nice touch when you enter the opponent's side.
Imagine if you add 100 bots to this mode.
Leth ahh gamemode ngl
Yes it’s fun
When leths casual mmr is 1500 and mine is 1700 lol
i think that your boost is weaker on the other half
The ball gravity is lower
