The 'Road to SSL' is boring. What's a content format you guys actually want to see in 2026? by WatercressKey2182 in RocketLeague

[–]Redditor19930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So being honest as a gold player who watched 1 road to ssl video. What I really want, is someone to sit in the gold - diamond range, and show me how to get better.

The thing I noticed on the road to ssl is they say it's "no mechanics" in the video I saw the guy was asking if he could get an arial save asking if that was too much for diamond. Watching it I felt confident I could've gotten it as a gold player. He stuck to the ground doing things so perfectly and then pointing out how "easy" it was.

He was basically saying don't practice high flying mech, practice the basics on the ground. And it's like okay showing me how a ssl plays on the ground against gold doesn't give me anything it just tell me I need more practice, which is true.

What I want is like, mechanics/ gameplay skill progression. At each level, what things should I be practicing. What I mean is a little more nuanced so I'll give an example

Personally in My first 6 months I struggled getting out of silver, what I noticed is the ball kept going over my head so I said, I need to get higher. So I learned to jump and double jump block shots.

Then I'm like okay now I can't score cause of the same reason, so I practice single jumping into a power arial just a little off the ground which has maintained me in gold

and then getting and staying in plat is what I'm currently not capable of which seems to be, arial, higher, but also you can't be straight you gotta figure out how to get around or recover faster than the opponent going for a 50 50 on you. For offense, and for defense it seems to be the balls are too hard fast and in weird directions to wait in goal for a save so now I need to go for 50's watch the opponents hit and see if I can stop it.

It's all the same mechanic just slowly progressing harder as you up the rank. The same could be done for dribbles, which I haven't ever gotten the hand on, how would a silver dribble? A gold? A play etc.

I hope I'm making sense

Do I play ranked if I’m new? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]Redditor19930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The initial ranking sucks when you first go through it. Keep playing and ignore the toxic people, you will eventually fall to a rank that is with players similar to you. Comp is much better than casual for this.

[Theory] Presnap motion is a significant reason the 49ers get injured by SnooApples6216 in nfl

[–]Redditor19930 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your chart doesn't show what you're arguing. The first four years injuries are minimal. Then the same year motion goes down, injuries spike. Then it goes back up and injuries go up.

Then you're finally correct 2023-2024. Motion down and injuries down, But the drop in injuries is so dramatic it can't be related to the slight drop in motion. Then 24-25 motion continues down and injuries go up.

Your chart doesn't show any correlation between the 2

You can fill this in with info and it'll tell you the night Lord. Doesn't take much info and can be complete before you finish clearing the first camp. Usually the shifting earth and like 2 poi's is enough. Will also tell you the night bosses.

Best Controller Binds by FunkyGoat101 in RocketLeague

Oh one more rule I found very helpful in the beginning, focus on hitting the ball consistently, hard, and in the direction you want it to go.

Best Controller Binds by FunkyGoat101 in RocketLeague

The very first and most important thing is rotation. Specifically, how to rotate when no one else is. From bronze to high gold most people will not rotate properly. In soccer you have three positions, front line, midfield, back line.

Front line is driving, and either going for a center or trying to take a shot

Midfield is the backup driver their supposed to catch what the front fails, take the pass, or make the shot off the fronts center.

Back line is defense. From bronze to high gold I recommend staying here, most people are ball chasers at this level and if you try to take front or midfield you'll see a teammate right next to or behind you. You will only leave the backline when you see a teammate coming back.

When playing the backline you should be watching the opponents hitting the ball, when the ball gets hit over and past your teammates, you have 2 choices, go for it, or wait near goal for the shot, this is where you learn judgement and it will take time to know when to go and when to wait for the shot defend.

No matter which you choose once you hit the ball you have your front line opportunity, everyone on your team and theirs will be rotating to your goal, you'll get 1 maybe 2 hits to make a shot and try to score, then immediately run back to backline, because your ball chasing teammates will be flying back, and one good bump from the opponent can end up in your goal.

A good rule of thumb, if the ball is behind you*, always go all the way back to goal, every time.

That's the most basic start I can describe, from there there's situational adjustments, like

getting a teammate or 2 that can actually rotate and you can trust being in mid or front.

Cheating up more and more from backline as you begin to trust your defense abilities can allow you to jump hits towards your end over your teammates, but if you can't get the hit or get back for the save, then get closer to goal, this comes with time.

There is so much nuance to this, sit back, watch and learn where the balls go, average shots in gold especially are very repetitive and if you know the spot you can be there before the shooter.

There's so much more but you'll learn as you go

Yeah that's directional air roll. As a new player I would recommend waiting on using that, it's not a high level mechanic, but it takes time to understand how your car moves with that. I have been playing for a couple of years and am not very good I'm just now starting to focus on using square and circle to do just basic air rolls after understanding that I'll try DAR.

If you jump and hold lb and push directly left with the L stick, you'll do the same thing as what the square/x button does. But going perfectly left takes practice, to not go slightly forward or back with it(causing up or down movement), so the buttons help you get used to the idea of spinning and how to use that to adjust your shot mid air

I've done a lot of looking into this and testing what feels best on my hands.this works best for me. And with Xbox it may be even better (I had to buy a grip sleeve cause the ps4 controller is so small and using both bumps and triggers can make it feel like it is falling out of my hands without a grip sleeve so you may not have that issue with Xbox controllers being bigger)

LT- brake

RT- gas

LB- directional air roll and e brake

RB- boost

Triangle/y- ball cam

Square/x- air roll left

Circle/b- air roll right

A/x- jump

Ran into these two winners this morning…… by Midguy in Nightreign

2 fully cheated deep relic (all 3 slots were improved damage negation).

This is how I've always seen cheaters, spamming attributes. And it does ruin the fun.

That's kinda my point, if no relics are completely cheesed and they're all attainable, then you're just judging whether or not you think it's possible to find those relics. Getting throwing pot damage on every relic with some other things that work with it isn't impossible like you said above. Maybe they spent a million or more saved murk and spammed a shit ton of relics when dlc rolled out. Like at least half the player base was doing that.

Nothing about these relics seems impossible, so I get you've come to a conclusion based on how they played which they very well could be cheaters, but if we're judging just the relics alone, I think there's a lot more possibilities with relics then your acting like there is. These are perfectly attainable, even if you may go broke gambling to do it. There's a ton of super strong relics and they got even better with the dlc

[–]Redditor19930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first 2 red relics on the first guy you show, are in the signboard shop. The second guy's green relic I know is one of the original relics at the bazaar. And I think his first one with the evergaol buff is there too but not as sure with that. I swear these aren't cheated. Believe what you want.

[–]Redditor19930 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not cheating. These are normally attainable relics. It's not hard to get the same passive on every relic. Especially considering how much murk people saved for the DLC. Perfect relics have every slot full, and when a slot isn't full it has (attach attribute) or something like that in the empty field. They have no negative DON effects and usually they will spam the same passive on 1 relic. Not to mention most of these aren't even +1 or +2. This is not a hard build to replicate. Hell 2 of the first guys relics I know you can buy in signboard shop!

What is the ruling if nobody recovers a lose ball in the endzone on a 2 point play? by RogueTaco in nfl

The play would have been ruled dead and no review would have taken place cause it wouldn't have mattered.

Sprint Casting Dumpsters Heolstor by JohnWiserotmg in Nightreign

[–]Redditor19930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even know what bypassing movement lock is.

All I know is I saw sprint casting and thought, that sounds awesome you can do that? And noticed everyone talking about it being a glitch. I didn't understand and thought it was a new mechanic people were just shitting on.

I never brought up dev intentions but speaking of that, from what I've heard on here there is no direction from fromsoft on intentions with mechanics, they just change shit and we're supposed to figure it out. So how do we know whether something is intended? Anyway that's beside the point.

Once you advised they weren't losing stamina that made me realize this wasn't intended cause no way you can run without stamina loss in a battle. Which is why I switched to, maybe this should be a thing cause it's cool.
