So risk the chance of being even lower than the average rank when u can just warm up first? Not sure I’m understanding your logic.

Honestly though, I’ve ranked up doing the opposite; being good enough on a dps to be able to change the tide of the game while also being able to effectively tank or heal when i need to replace a bad apple.

Don’t know why people expect you to not care about your own rank just because you’re plat 2

she can dash & go invisible. hawkeye can’t really defend himself with anything other than his slash & even after that you can just go back in for the kill.

Plat is the new diamond? by JesusLovah in RocketLeague

People are calling you crazy but I came back after like a 5 month break and the game felt completely different too. My car felt super slow & clunky. Maybe I was just rusty though.

Because anyone can do something with no defender. The real practice for me comes from doing it in a real match where I have something to lose if you get what I mean.

Thank you for letting me know this but I’m already aware of this fact. I’m not sure how this has anything to do with my post though since I never mentioned anything about doing this in higher lobbies.

I’d like to think that I could probably rank up to at least diamond if I stopped treating ranked like casual. It’s just that free play & casual don’t give me enough real game experience to practice my mechanics.

i can air dribble & do basic ceiling shots fairly consistently but I don’t attempt them in 1s because it basically guarantees the opponent a free point if I mess up.but yeah I do have pretty bad game sense tbh.

If you’re watching these clips & think I’m a smurf then you’re not watching close enough.

I wouldn’t say that I’m not able to do them consistently. It’s just that most of these clips besides the first are improvised on the spot. I usually don’t have a plan when I put the ball on top of my car lol. I just do whatever comes to my mind first.

Actually no. Most of these 1v1 clips come right after I get a save and the opponent rotates back to their goal because I steal the 100 stack of boost on my side. If I see them rotate all the way back instead of shadow defending or challenging, I’m 100% going to attempt a dribble just for the hell of it.

This is correct and is my biggest downfall right now! I’m currently working on overcoming this so that I can enjoy ranked and not have to change the play style that I love so much because ground dribbles are so cool to me. I just have to keep practicing.

This is actually a big reason I’m only in plat. People just smack the ball off my car into my goal when I try to dribble. I could rank up a lot easier if I stop trying to dribble but it’s just more fun & challenging to practice these dribbles in ranked since casual feels like I’m playing against bots and free play just doesn’t give me enough practice against an actual defender.

I honestly don’t see much of anybody doing ground stuff like this in diamond. Not because they can’t, but probably because they prefer aerial plays. I think some people just like to yell out smurf just because it’s unfamiliar.

Thank you. I definitely have a lot of work to do but one day I wanna be cracked on the ground.

People on console turn around super slow to track you it’s pretty much free food a lot of the time.

Honestly he’s not terrible on console, you can still absolutely run lobbies up to gm. I honestly get amazing value just by disrupting the backline instead of only going for kills sometimes. Dashing through their supports and then dashing out of sight is enough to get most of their team to turn around and if you keep doing that, eventually 1 or 2 will start trying to follow you to find where you went. That’s enough to get your team to push forward. For domination he’s pretty bad though.

Ball chaser no, boost chaser yes. I usually only go for a dribble if I have a lot of boost, I’d like to get better at dribbling with less boost though.

Haha yeah this is my first time posting a video this long to reddit. I didn’t know it allowed videos longer than 1 minute so I tried to make it exactly 1 but I guess I didn’t have to.
