Just for full transparency, I also blame teammates even though I shouldn’t. It’s one of those things we all need to work on. Sometimes I can be really hard if you have a few bad games in a row or you lose because a teammate has missed an easy save, but end of the day just have to say allgood and move on. And trust me I’m not great at this sometimes so take that as a direct attack on you low ranks
Would you ever be willing to help a 36 year old who's played since the beta, a chance to see what it is I'm doing wrong?
I think its my Air and corner game that mainly off.
I've decent game sense being I've gamed for 30+ years
It is always frustrating, when your mates play too bad and making many mistakes, but bad games happen for everyone, just don't be rude for that reason and world would be better.
@@korekdorek that's correct, even toxic people I say gg too and good luck and so on, it isn't hard to be nice
@@virtualbunksie5117 sheesh 30+ years bro longer than I’ve been alive
Disregarding the aspect of blame, can you make a video on how to compensate for bad teamplay when playing in PUGs?
Tip 1 - 0:26 (Over complication)
Tip 2 - 2:37 (Blame)
Tip 3 - 5:38 (Inefficient)
Watching the whole video is important since he explains them in depth
just noticed on the end card that it's actually
Tip 1
Tip 2
and...
Tip 2
Lol idk if the graphics person messed it up or what but just a little something I caught
me putting the blame on myself: “ah yes it is my fault that i picked such BAD TEAMMATES”
I'm with ya. Like yeah, we choose to play with randos and that blame is on us. When the randos score 4 shots on your own goal though, idk if you can take the blame anymore for how poorly the match is going.
😂😂
Agreed thats why i stay in defense and let the 2 other teammates go since no one want to defend
There are levels to it. Yeah, if your team-mates are purposefully throwing, actually trolling, the amount of responsibility you can take is low.
A problem I see, though, is people accusing a teammate of genuinely, purposefully trolling after a big mistake or two, when sometimes somene is just having a bad game, which happens to everyone now and then.
The point is even when you're paired with a teammate that's lower-rated than you, or is having a really bad game, still trying to think of what you can do better. Losing a game and it being glaringly obvious that my teammate with 72 Points was about as helpful as a Lv. 5 Magikarp doesn't mean I played a perfect game either.
Geezer forgets to mention it takes at least 1000 hour for some who don’t have time to no life rocket league because we have jobs it’s takes about 3k hours
I am c2 and one thing I like to do when I get scored on is thinking what was it that lead to being scored on? If my teammate makes a mistake while being in a 1v1 then I think about what lead to making it a 1v1? It usually is due to me losing the ball and even if it is not my fault, I usually let it go. Positivity is a valuable strength in rocket league. Being negative and obsessing over one mistake clouds your mind and leads to bad decision-making
this is majority of us in champ ranks.
I have a mind set also champ 2 but damn it’s hard for me because I got here with basically no mechanics
I can’t speed flip which is a huge disadvantage
I’m not the best at boost management but I’m not the worse
I even fuck up air dribbles sometimes
What about when your teammate leaves?
@@kickstart3974 say GG
@@kickstart3974 Then you think about why they left and continue the game by yourself. You might get lucky or your teammate might have held you back a little. I would guess that a 1v2 is the perfect chance to try figuring out inconsistencies which is the biggest reason for people staying in Champ and down.
I was c3 and once I stopped caring about my rank and focusing on boost management and rotations, I got to gc and I’m feeling much more confident
i feel it. stopped caring about my rank last season & spiked up from 1500's to nearly 1700 in a single season.
@@beebadoobie8429 sheeesh good for you. I had the same thing. After almost a year hardstuck C3, I stopped raging over losses (after 10 seconds😅) and I finally achieved GC1 1 season ago at the end. Now I already achieved that and I'm closing on GC2
Just a reminder that it’s also ok to practice flashy mechanics if that’s what makes you happy, just don’t expect those mechanics to result in a higher rank.
I find its best to just focus on myself in each game. I can't control my teammates - heck, I can barely control my car, let alone the ball. What I CAN do, though, is extend a little trust to everyone in the lobby that they're all trying to win in their own way, and try to position myself to support my side.
The blame game isn't helpful in the end. While it's important to take in the lessons from any given situation, it's not really helpful to think "they should have done this; should have done that; how did they miss?" in a game where even the pros are demonstrably fallible. Maybe it's just a me thing, but I'd rather celebrate any goal, even if it's on me, even if it's dumb...then I go again. Even better than before.
I love you Thanovic
U gay?
For people saying it’s impossible to not blame teammates in the lower ranks:
Answer is def in the middle I think. In almost every situation you can blame yourself and think of what you could have done differently. But you also can’t control the outcome of every game no matter how good you are. So just focus on self improvement and having fun.
Your rank is a product of your skill, not the other way around and talent takes time to build. So be patient with yourself ❤ happy grinding everyone
"Your rank is a product of your skill". I actually never thought of it like that 😅
Lol thanks
Happy grindin ❤
If you're an elite player, you can control the outcome of low ranked games. If you can't control the outcome of your games, you have room to improve.
Yes. Obviously some games your teammates are to blame, and some games you are to blame. But you cannot control your teammates, and even if they are playing worse than you, you are still making 101 mistakes every game that you could be noticing and trying to fix. Blaming them is unproductive.
But like you suggest, this is just the case for specific games. Some people think they are stuck at a particular rank because they keep getting matched with bad teammates. These people need to stop deluding themselves if they want to improve. On average, everyone gets the same quality of teammates. Your rank is 100% a product of your skill, and has literally nothing to do with the skill of your teammates.
@@hpesoj00 On average everyone SHOULD get the same quality of teammates but this also ignores smurfing. People who decide to play with a friend who is smurfing is unfair for the other team. and the team with the smurf has a really good teammate. If someone plays with their friend who (let's just say is ssl) in diamond often then it completely throws the average. Your rank is 80% a product of your skill and 20% of your luck. Now you are 100% right about how if your teammate makes mistakes it's fine if you are good enough. But you can never control the other team, just like how you can't control your teammate.
@@hpesoj00what if your teammates leave?
I’ve asked myself these questions plenty of times. At the end of the day I keep it simple: in 1s it’s literally just freeplay with another person . In 2s or 3s even when I play with my friends who know I take the game serious I either have to be the reliable third man to control everyone else’s pace or be the aggressive first man most of the time to keep enough possession that gives my team opportunities to maybe mess up or miss open nets
One thing to consider is that taking those roles also means you're covering up for your teammates mistakes which makes it a lot less likely they'll be able to improve themselves. You guys might keep getting better as a team but as you guys keep going up in rank you'll have to cover more and more for their mistakes. If you can find a way to guide them towards rotating correctly it will take a lot of pressure off of you in the long run.
I've been hard stuck in c3 for like a year and a half. To be honest I'm not trying to improve, but always learning new things to enjoy the game
Try to focus on stop caring about your rank and just learn about rotations (I hope this helps)
I feel this mane, c3/gc1 seems to be littered with former SSLs... or maybe I'm getting worse 😂
that’s how i’ve been for about a year, i try to help my low rank friends get better and everything but i barely even play ranked anymore
I really love this editing style, hope there are more videos like this on their way
Ive been working as a productivity/ academic coach for almost 6 years now, and i was surprised to see several tips in this video that I've been encouraging my students to try for years now. Well done, good advice.
Yo thx so much man! This advice was amazing to hear and it really made me have a new perspective on things 😁 And I feel like people don't say this enough but thank you for spending the time to make this awesome and encouraging video! Have an amazing day 😄
Needed this video. Just peaked Champ 2 and have been getting very complacent, haven't been training, and decided learning to flip reset was priority over ground control. I will hit GC this year and this video will be the reason, thank you @Thanovic.
how is your progress going? i need an update haha
Update as a fellow champ 2 with little mechanics
Progress I peaked 1 game off champ 3 before work caught up with me lol, still got half the year @turtlefiesta6628 @headshotraze9371
Really helpfull mate, ty!
The way to combat the blame game for me is to hop on one’s right after a bad match, sometimes I do really horrible and I know I was the one messing up more then likely. Either way I end up learning more and getting better from it. Ones takes away the crutch of blaming someone for your own mistakes, it also forces you to utilize mechanics to win rather then just be flashy. It also humbles you a lot. I went from hard stuck in high plat low diamond, to champ in 2s and 3s just by learning more in ones and using it to be more competitive in my other game modes.
Amazing video, truly. Something to add to the "blame" part of the video is that you can always improve. Even if your teammate completely whiffs and allows the opponents to score, you can still think about what YOU did that led to that point. Potentially what you could've done to put your teammate in a better and/or easier situation. You can always find ways to make a situation useful to you, you just have to be open to criticism
This is all great stuff! The one small argument i have is relative to the take ownership part - yes people overall blame too much and not recognize where their faults are but you also cant take ownership of everything in your game or life it is kind of arrogant in a way to think that way because you cant control what other people do and sometimes theres nothing you can do about it and you rob other people the opportunity to take ownership of their own mistakes because the truth is sometimes you can do everything right and teammates still botch it and they can do everything right and you botch it because it is in fact a team game (at least 3s) everybody has a role to play, you are not the sole reason for winning nor the sole reason for losing same for.your teammates, they cant take ownership of everything because you also make mistakes, however what you can take ownership over everytime is how you read prepare yourself and respond to things - training, emotions, and what your mindset is, take ownership of what you can control and learn to accept and be aware of what you cant so you can at least find a way to work with it or leave the scenario
Nicely said, Jordan 👏 👏
I think that's more-or-less what Thanovic was saying; he didn't mean take "ownership", "control", or "responsibility" for the entire game including what your teammates do. He means (as you say at the end there) always looking for what you might have been able to do differently or better in any given play, even when maybe getting scored on was primarily because of the mistake of a teammate.
The only players close to doing everything right are the pros. If you're playing below pro level, you're not losing games while doing everything right. Every game you play is full of mistakes.
A lot of the difference between 'good' games and 'bad' games is just facing different opponents. You're making the same mistakes and playing with the same limited skills and habits in your good and bad games.
@7dayspking yes true, although pros do make mistakes, if they didn't their games would never end, they just make far less of them and much less often and have the capacity to recover quickly, I wasn't talking about playing a perfect entire game that is unreasonable I was talking about specific instances of plays within a game that could result in a goal, a 1st man player could challenge just fine but if 2nd and 3rd man are off doing their own thing well it's not really 1st man's "fault" but he could say that it is just to play the psychological game and keep moral, but to your point if players that continue in bad habits but dont actually recognize what they are and keep saying my fault falsely like need boost when really it was their positioning (ie cheating way up front as 3rd man) you won't improve if you don't correctly take ownership of what actually could be improved or is the actual cause of the "mistake", again there is different contexts all of this can be applied, if you're solo queuing 3s that is much different than having a team you know
@@jorwegs We can't control how the others in the lobby play. If your plays rely on teammates you haven't practiced with being in specific positions, doing certain things or having specific skills. They're not appropriate plays.
1st man in your scenario should really look back through his replay and consider if this 'good challenge's was appropriate or necessary in a lobby with strangers or helpful to him winning. Sounds like it wasn't, that makes it a mistake that can be changed in later games. The only 'coreect' moves are the ones that make you win. It doesn't matter if TH-cam tutorials tell you 'this is a good or correct play'. If it's not leading success in game, it's a bad play. You're the only guy on the field you can control,stop making plays that rely on things out of your control. They're not good plays, it's your fault.
Matches and gameplay happens faster than we can really think. Blame's irrelevant, everyone's just repeating their ingrained habits. But if you want to get better, you can check your replay after the game and deliberately change your habits for the better and learn new skills. It's not about 'morale'. That doesn't matter. If you're the only guy from the lobby who checks that replay. You're the only one wholl learn from that game. Everyone else will just repeat the same crap habits in the next game.
This might actually be the best informational Rocket League video i have seen. im gc1 and have been watching videos like these since i was gold. Everything Thanovic said in this video was spot on and i'll be doing everything he just said. Also, if you're still reading, go watch one of your replays and see how many times you throw. (you might be surprised)
I really would like to see another one of those "getting coached by.." type of series like what you did with Xpere or Henkovic. Still love all the videos
I got stuck in gold 3 for 4 months. Last week I finally reached plat 1 and now I'm Plat 2 div 4!!!!!!!
Amazing video!
This video is a perfect explanation of my mentality.
Almost perfect*
Thank you for the advice Thanos 🙏
Sick vid as always, thanks 🥰
Your play style grows from your own confidence in your skills! On a basic level. something I do that works out is practically checking the speed making the game consistent for your team. The main point is your first touch should be what makes a difference in your play style👍💯
Can you make a video were you show the best trainingpacks for defending, attaking and Maby airroll? It would really help me
Love the emphasis on 2. I try to be as unbiased as I can during matches and own up to my mistakes as often as I can. I know how frustrating it can be for someone who is really trying to do well but still gets criticized negatively by their tm8. It doesn't make anyone play better. Even if you realize your tm8 is not playing well, the most you can do is MAYBE provide some constructive criticism, but even that can be uncalled for as it is unsolicited. Kinda wack how this has been mentioned in multiple youtube videos and I still come across the most toxic players. The best games I've played were when both teams were supportive of each other which allowed each of us to show our true potential. Lose or win, we knew we played an amazing game. There are too many possibilities in this game like Thano said; sometimes a loss is just the way she goes.
The amount of times I've been called fake GC in 1s is ridiculous, cause I know I'm more likely to fail when I try anything fancy and ppl tend to rush me if I try a setup anyway, I mostly stick to playing basic, while I just wait for them to try something, let them fail or pass me the ball and walk it into the goal.
What’s your rank in the other modes?
@@anthonydargan1459 to be clear, I got a GC title, but I'm only c1 in 1s. I went for GC rewards during season 7 and 8 in 3s, I don't really play 2s, I think I'm c3 there.
Oh okay. Yeah we’re about the same then😂 people also call me fake
@@deniz117 yeah man but do what’s fun. I’m a gc with no fun stuff and just started getting into the fun stuff for a change 😂
@@deniz117 yes lol
Can 100 % confirm those points. I hit GC in like 2017 and kind of started spending less and less time in the game (i think about 300-400 hours in the last 4 years). Of course this means my mechanics are kind of lacking in the "flashy"-department. I still hit some nice shots from time to time but i'm definitely washed in this department. I still manage to get GC (GC 2 this season) every season because i have the fundamentals down. If you have a good gamesense then you rarely need to do difficult stuff to win games. I think one very important points the video didn't cover is recoverys. It is so important to be fast after you challenge a ball and don't take years to are back in position with speed. GL to everyone trying to rank up. 🙂
8:14 has to be a Thano quote now! Everyone has to know this and remember it. I will, I have to if I have any hope of getting better
Just coming from such a loss streak that I went from C3 close to gc back down to D3. I train the right things, analyse myself while i play, don't go for flashy shots. sometimes it's just that you suck and need to practise even more. I just suck at the game, that's how it is. Crying about it won't help. I just gotta keep practising, over and over and over again until I don't suck at the game anymore. The tips in the video are awesome, it helps to get from a passive "waiting until you get better" to an active "This is my way of actually getting better". Thanks
This comment made all the hard stuck plats (like me) cry. lol
I've gotten myself to C1 alone and trying to carry friends through the depths of plat/diamond. I will say that I have seen C1s and C2s have way better mechanics than me a lot but the consistency I have developed with shooting and power on the ball supersedes their ability to flip reset and musty and such. This video is perfect advice for someone who wants to rank up. If you want great mechanics, make sure you are extremely consistent at easy shots. I was very inconsistent at one point and I drilled for like a week straight of shots I kept missing and now I'd say even after my extensive break from the game, I'm still mostly on for those easy shots. Consistency > flashy.
I was stuck D3 and started trusting my mates more and now pushing C3 💪
I’m in diamond 2 in 2s and I always get blamed for anything, like my team8 is better than me, he ends up throwing the game on purpose because he thinks I’m too bad for the rank I’m at even tho I grinded to there
it is good to stay patient but the amount off aggressiveness in plat/diamond makes it hard to be patient and keep the ball close because I just get early challenged which forces me to send the ball off
I blame being hard stuck on Tip #2 and Tip #2 HAHA. Seriously though, great advice and all three tips are something I should have started doing long ago. Thanks for pointing these little things out we don't see.
My problem is that I take all the blame and lose confidence when I lose. This makes me play worse and lose more, meaning that I go down a negative spiral.
Same
then you need to take a break, I understand fully the low confidence feeling.
but if you start to spiral it's time to take a break, stick to training or playing with lower/same rank friends in QP..
Just keep in mind "staying in the same rank" is not being hardstuck, it means you're evolving at a steady pace, the game is ever changing, from pro level to the lowest depth of ranked.
Constantly butting head against the "skill ceiling" and improving faster than others in your rank can be a tough nut.
Remember to never take the fun out of the game, always love what you do. GG go next :D
im a simple man, i see a new thanovic video, i like before the ads are over.
Guaranteed to sleep better after watching this vid😌✌🏼thanks Mr T
Idk who else needs to here this but full on side flipping into 50s is so important. Not all of them obviously but kickoffs and straight on ones, been playing a long time and I j had that revelation a couple of weeks ago it’s been helping a lot
That combined with throwing the ball in to the side wall to pass it to yourself, around your opponents car. You can combine both, if you're close enough to a wall, as well.
0:01 Sunless: "Im hardstuck alright, but im hardstuck at the top"
It’s heartbreaking cause I 3 months ago started working full time and I feel like I’m losing my skill. Every game I play I feel like I’m getting worse :(
Great and informative video man!
I think most players notice, that when they are off the game for a while, to then return and play much better, cleaner, and with a much broader overview of all situations and plays than before. This is because the mind needs reset moments, and if a player is "overplaying" he or she will get kind of 'stuck in a rut' of always playing the same, which is a consequence of a trance state like hypnosis in which the brain is automatically using muscle memory to play, and this to leave out new learned skills and intuitive interventions. Take a break on time.
I also bet that if pro players wouldn't play or practice at all for a few days before an event, they would increase their performance significantly. (test?)
Wow, just a amazing video💯
Your #1, "Overcomplication," in some way relates to the fact that Rw9 has beaten Zen twice now. Something about his efficiency and attention to how touches will work in the overall game, gives him an advantage.
The hardest team to stop, is a team where (2v2) both people take blame and think on how they could've prevented the moment from happening. "I could've turned earlier and prevented a direct drive and leave you in a 2v1"
Thanovic so efficient he can give 3 pieces of advice in just 2 tips
I do take a lot of the blame for myself and see what I could have done differently, really sometimes kinda rare my teammates would set the other team up for free goals and there is nothing I can do about it, I like to clip it every time it happens and re watch it when I have time
I think the weirdest thing about ranked is people climb doing what works so you'll end up playing against many styles for instance you could play against people who just try to out speed the opponents always booming ball away or maybe a team that does the opposite trying to control the game and so they try to keep possession and slow/speed play whenever they like some players just like playing slow and letting you do the work for them in the end climbing I would say is seeing what your teammate can do and playing in a manner that helps bring out the best in them
I'm new to the game, and focussing on these things has helped me improve quite quickly, I'm now in high plat. Can't wait to get hard stuck for the first time tho and forget all of it lel
My thing with over complication is that I’m trying to become a better player. Not just rank up for the hell of it. I should be good enough to 2v1 if I need to. That’s how I look at it. Trying to push my self to get better so I can be that tm8 everyone wants
Hey man. Thanks for the video But I did notice that you made a minor mistake with the tips. Not the tips themselves but the numbering of them. It went Tip #1 to Tip #2 and Tip #2 again 😂
Wow, great video
i play rocket league at 30 fps in min quality and im stuck on gc 1 div 3-4, what do i do?
6:27 is the perfect example. You could easily blame your teammate's positioning here, or you could instead look at your own mistakes and work to improve.
I just went down 7 divisions yesterday from one game to reach diamond to plat 2 due to my team8 sucking or leaving when we have a chance to make comeback
Random question!
If a new account loses all the placement matches - what is the minimum amount of wins required to reach each rank?
just became c2 and Im more of possiesion, passing and normal shoting that have gotten me here I have a friend to play with I dont like to play comp with random I dont feel comfterble with myself then because I know everyone plays diffrent and I enjoy the game more with a friend on. I started practicing flying more to get more controll, air dribbling and so on and I can see progress and how it made me more consistant in the air I put in like 10 hours maybe so its just the begining of my training. I have a lot of hours playing the game but just started doing practice
I need to do more training. Once I got from Bronze to Plat, I figured I didn't need training because I would get "training" in the game. Since I'm stuck at Diamond, I realized I was wrong.
When I was stuck in Gold, i didn't start climbing until I noticed the better opponents were just more patient and waited for me to make a panic touch. Concede possession, they take it and push it in the net.
I am a kbm champ 3 player and have been in this rank for since 2019 - 2020, I don't care about ranking up or ranking down, I just try to have as much fun as possible. I play a lot more on the rotation more than the mechanical side. Going into training and repeating mechanics is just not my thing.
I noticed that blaming myself for everything makes me play worse because I start to overthink / loose faith on me and I start to hesitate on everything I do, but I also play worse if I blame my teamates because I start to focus on them and their mistakes rather than me
that's why I prefer to play this game drunk
I use to blame teammates aswell but I soon realized it’s not them it’s me I was so caught up on geting better to look better that I was makeing stupid mistakes in game nd it messing it up for myself and my team
I often get blamed my mechanics are too bad for the rank I am in. I've been focusing on position a lot and I am pretty sure I am in the current rank because of that
yesterday i went from c1 div2 to c1 div3 and in 3's and in 1's i played until i lose mindset (which was also until i actually lose), went from plat2 to d1 div3
After 3ish years of playing I’m at champ 2 with little to no mechanics and I’ve probably got a total of like 10 hours on training I’ve basically played nothing but ranked the whole time. Pretty proud but I will be taking these tips into consideration.
Pretty Good Video but I had a extremely bad m8 in c3 (he left in the first 30s) i took the game to overtime kuz i was gc and was peeking but it was just impossible. The game after i sucked so hard i missed like 3 open nets :/ that was it for the day
Been playing for a year and I wouldn’t say I’ve gotten stuck at any rank yet…hit gc last season and grinding for it again this season. I feel like this is where I’ll be hardstuck now though
I always look at it like this. Right now im gc2. If I wanna get to gc3. I need to be good enough to carry every tm8 in gc2. Your theoretical rank is always a bit higher than your actual rank (unless you're at your peak).
I would like to say, if you are struggling to look at your own gameplay critically then one thing that helped me was to start helping lower ranked friends/family in their gameplay. Watch their replays or live gameplay with them and give them tips on how they could have better positioned or what they could be training. As you get better at looking critically (but constructively) on others gameplay, it starts to get a lot easier and more natural to know what's going wrong in your own.
You don't have to be an RL god to help someone get better or to have some of the skills that all coaches have. They are learned behaviours so get learning!
I got temporarily banned for telling someone "if you would shut the **** up for a minute, maybe I could focus on the game", when they were constantly telling me how I should be playing every situation in a condescending manner over voice chat. I was having a bad day and snapped, but that 72 hour ban is rough. I assume it's the swear word that got me.
I do take the blame a lot and honestly kind of commentate over which my buddies find annoying sometimes but it helps me think like watching a squishy video, but the amount of smurfs in gc1-2 in ranked and constantly losing to champ 1’s in 1600 takes it out of me so i find myself playing a lot more casual
Me putting the blame on myself: It’s my fault that my teammates spawned in afk and then chatted they would play for the other team and scored own goals.
I understand blaming myself for bad plays, but at what rank does rotations become common place because it is chalked at Platinum and below. I can play perma- 3rd man when my teams chasing but I won’t always win those 2v1s or be able to block every counter attack. That or the oppose side where the opponents get up a goal or 2 early and my mates barely want to leave the back half. Yes I’ll center the ball in front of a open without looking and when realize no one’s there to follow me up, which is bad on my part but worst when your trying to come back and your mates lose all aggression needed to apply pressure.
I'm Plat 1 and I just started yesterday. I feel like I'm terrible though, I can't do any air control stuff.
Even though flakes does have superior game knowledge, he does do a really good job explaining why he does certain things in different situations.
flakes is by far my favourite rl streamer to watch when it comes to gamesense and thought process. I love watching his stream or videos before i hop on to rly get into that smart thinking mindset!
This tips are great but I have another problem. I live in North Kazakhstan and ping at its lowest is ~85 and in some games le servers will throw you to servers were you play with 200+ ping. Maybe it’s just me but I think it is a factor
This is why I hate it when my teammates dropout after 0-2 in the first minute in casual. You can still learn while losing.
In 1s I went from d1 to c1 from just adding alot of 50/50s with flicks and air dribble bumps
Usually when I train I do shooting defense and ground control
I’m not good in mechanics so I try sometimes to train but I’m not focus on this I prefer simple plays ^^
I'm in diamond 3 and frequently see my teammates leave after the other team scores first. This happens every 1/6 games I play. I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do about that. Also I'm currently ranked in plat 3 in 1's, playing against s10 champion titles. I'm not seeing fair matchups, I have no clue how to rank up in 1's if I'm playing above my skill level.
Keep in mind that my highest rank and div is diamond 3 div 3
I can both blame myself for everything (and being trash) and be mad at my teammates for being dumb (and trash).
And on top of that I usually am very chill and positive.
All at once
I made it to grand champ without playing with a single person I know. Played random for every single game. It was rough but wanted to complete that task and it was interesting.
I just got a good idea since I start to feel guilty whenever I take the blame on something I could have the athlete mentality instead where the WHOLE TEAM is responsible not just any one player
i try not to blame teammates as i'm not perfect either but i hate the players who just give up when there 1 goal down or quit when they whiff thinking there gonna get called out or are embarrassed.
Like this vid 🙌🏼
The worst part is the level of anticipation across the board.
90% of the games have truly bad players who join ranked games while not having the intention to even pass a ball or stay on the defense constantly.
Players should be able to realize that only defending the goal won't get you goals but yet i see almost every 3vs3 or 2vs2 infested with passive players who also have very doubtfull names.
Knowing where the ball is and at the same time instinctly know where all the players are without even seeing them is something gamers should bee able to do yet the majority lacks these most basic skills.
Then there is the ban system which i.m.o. is utterly narcistic in it's mechanism.
Who hasn't been there throwing out a curse and get instantly banned for weeks or even months.
The issue i got with this is that it only bans people from western countries because of the used language. (example: an english speaker would be banned for 720hrs for cursing while a chinese person could curse unrelentlessly without the risk of a ban, so that makes it pretty discriminating don't you think?!)
Great message to this community. I also suck and blame not me.
I play rocket league to have fun, I don't take it seriously and I must say it makes your gaming experience much more enjoyable,I am c2 and yes I lose alot of games but aslong as I'm enjoying myself,I don't care if I lose or not
1 year and a half stuck diamond, i hit c1 a few times but always end up unranking after.
I won t be a pro so i don t really care anymore of ranking up.
My routine is playing with my brother and friends while crushing 12 beers d3-c1
"I shouldn't have missed that shot" is basically my game play summed up.
One of the greatest things about rocket league, that I've found, is that you can somehow blame yourself most of the time. teammate misses a save? you should've been back post or gotten a better 50. Teammate misses an open net? you should've been in position to back them up. weren't able to save the shot because you got demo'd? shoulda probably known the demo was coming. Obviously, there are some instances where this isn't true, but it is 99% of the time.
Ehh. In all of the above examples your error might be going for things that aren't beneficial to go for or some other errors that put you in these bad situations. You ended up in position to get demo'd. You threw a pass that didn't need to be thrown. Maybe you threw it because you lacked the mechanics required to make a higher percentage play or you put the ball into a position where your only option is a perfectly read pads. You put the ball into position where losing a 50 means they score or that your teammates needs to make a tough save.
Getting put in difficult situations is an inevitability against equally matched opponents. Their objective is to get you in those positions. So there's always plenty to learn and work on rather than expecting 'perfect' 50 50s.
What’s ur routine for training
Can you make a video on your routine?
I'm a GC and have never scored a flip reset I practice all the basics more then anything else I still make mistakes but alot of the little things are more important just like any sport the small details
The thing to remember with rocket league is that there are 0 benefits to ranking up. Even if you hit SSL you're still gonna win games and you're still gonna lose games. Rank is just bragging rights moree than anything. It's not like you hit GC then get a faster car or something to help you play better, from bronze to SSL you're playing the same game. But I still get tilted when I lose...
I'm gc/gc2 and I can't do any flip resets, musty or whatever, my aerials off the wall suck hard but I'm good at positioning I would say
i got on the game after this and immediately had some of the best games
might actually get back to champ after a 1 year and 8 month break
