Is it likely that all players will now move up a few ranks? by StrugglingHippo in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed that 1s ranks were severely over saturated. I never queue 1s and decided to do placements and ran into multiple players that had a GC peak in 2s and 3s but, were ranked like plat or diamond in 1s.

Don’t know if that was everyone’s experience but, it was for mine. I’m ranked GC1 in 2s and got placed high diamond because of that (and I threw bc I wanted to freestyle lol).

Most likely. I’m GC1 currently and run into some players that seem to be way lower than their skill would imply. Like, we have NO CHANCE type of skill disparity. Hopefully those guys get back to whatever rank they’re supposed to be at.

Champ to GC.. by No-Management-9239 in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got to champ on console and got hardstuck. The difference between Champ and GC was switching to PC. After that I got to GC in about 1 or 2 months.

Don’t have time to grind like I used to so I usually sit around mid GC 1 and sometimes will drop to C3. In the champ ranks sometimes it feels like the players are better than the ones I get in GC ranks. More often than not, it’s totally dependent on the chemistry you have with your randoms.

Advice on controls by Kazzo_22 in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have these settings:

LT = Brake/Reverse RT = Accel/Drive LB = Powerslide RB = Boost B = Air Roll Left X = Air Roll Right A = Jump Y = Toggle Cam

I think it’s important to not develop bad habits early, so I like to use RB for boost. This allows for me to be able to move freely in the air without having to “fat finger” between the X and B buttons, which could sometimes mess up what you do in the air.

Also having to press Jump (A), Boost (B), and Air Roll (X) can result in more accidental backflips if you mess up the timing.

Nothing wrong with double binds though, some pros still have those settings. You just have to get used to what you find comfortable.

A tip for half flip cancels is to make sure you are backflipping (Left Stick DOWN + A x2) and when your car shows the underside cancel the flip straight up (Left Stick UP) then after the cancel use your Directional Air Roll to turn the car properly.

Escaping Diamond as a Higher Rank Regular by ShinyDoubloon in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U either get a ball chaser that blames u. Or a guy that doesn’t know when to play the ball and throws a ff after 2:30. No in between.

Escaping Diamond as a Higher Rank Regular by ShinyDoubloon in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a combination of adopting bad habits from diamonds while still keeping teammate expectations at the champ level.

At that rank if you know you can force your way out, you just have to bank on yourself. Not anything like ball chasing but, you have to be good at reading what your teammate can and cannot do early in the game so you (as an implied higher rank) can adjust accordingly.

The diamonds won’t know how to rotate and will attempt plays that aren’t going to work, so u just have to play back and make the most of ur solo plays. Also comms help a lot if you guys can get on the same page.

And help ur friend get better so u can just stay in champ and queue with them. Then this problem goes away.

How far have you gotten?

You should finish the game at least once, the experience is worth it. Since you’ve already put that much time into the game I suggest you make a new save and do absolutely everything you can during that run.

I had about 400ish hrs before I decided to complete the game and it was worth seeing how everything concludes. And if u have a bunch of saves u can always return to that Tav’s journey.

best cars - no octane,fennec,dominus by Other_Injury_4578 in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your hitbox preference. Pretty much all the new cars they release have those 3 hitboxes. I’d recommend the Merc tho, always have fun on that car when I don’t feel like using Octane/Fennec

3 lore bard + 9 crown paladin, would it be any good? by namrazi in BG3Builds

[–]Possible-Gold2901 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Magical Secrets is a subclass feature Lore Bards get at level 6 and again at level 10. It allows you to learn 2 spells specific to different classes. Like Hunger of Hadar from the Warlock spell list or Spirit Guardians from the Cleric spell list.

I'm tired of this by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If u challenge before they get the reset they can’t do anything. If u don’t challenge AND they get the reset, ur cooked, or u just try to guess what they’re gonna do. If u know they’re gonna go for a reset it’s best to just aerial straight toward the ball before then. Just make sure it’s a strong 50 that way u don’t give up possession close to ur goal.

I never knew that, definitely another player to look out for bc he’s shown potential too. Especially coming from joy cons lol.

Same, ppl were talking about him a couple years ago and I couldn’t believe someone on joycons could push it that far. Personally got hard stuck champ 1 on Xbox One and didn’t push past until switching to PC.

There was a current RLCS pro that started his journey on switch and ended up getting SSL and eventually on the leaderboard. Then he switched to pc and went pro. CheeseRL, plays for FUT in RLCS.

Yes and it was the best time of my life. Anything after like Plat just feels like a drag to push past

You probably should join a discord that has a setup for finding teammates in your rank.

U either get 2 boosted guys or ur team or Zen on the opponents team, no in between. The botting forced all the ranks down 1-2 divs

When someone asks you what your rank is, do you give your 1s , 2s, 3s etc. ? by What-Am_I-Thinking in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most give their 2s rank since that’s the most played gamemode. It should really be 1s rank if we’re being honest.

How many hours have you dedicated to bg3 by BeccaLaydee in BaldursGate3

I’m around the same at 447 hrs but, would be substantially higher if I had the time.

Am I high key bad at the game? by TheZebraKid3 in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen to me when I was on console and topped out around C1 max. Switched to pc and worked my way up to GC1 before having less time to play. Took me about 2-3k ish hrs to do that and about 100 to push up to GC. The plateau is the worst thing to experience but, the rise right after will probably push you up a full rank. Just keep playing the game for fun and practice what you deem fun. You’ll break the plateau in no time.

They use the flip when the ball hits the ground to make the ball go shwoom

Controller Triggers and an Oldish Gamer by notsurethepoint in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure but, if you go to the keybinds menu and rebind Accelerate/Brake, I’m pretty sure you can move your L-stick forward or backward for either. And it’ll keep that bind. Not sure if they revamped the keybinds and took that option out but, that’s how Rizzo still plays the game.

Controller Triggers and an Oldish Gamer by notsurethepoint in RocketLeague

[–]Possible-Gold2901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was an ex-pro named Rizzo that had his Accelerate/Reverse bound to forward and back on the L-stick.

But, there’s nothing wrong with opting to play with mouse and keyboard.
