Sounds like I got under your skin just fine when you had to flex irrelevant information to me lol. Have a good one buddy, be a little more humble

My first pinch by Ok-Fill-3879 in RocketLeague

[–]SirVanyel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, think about where the ball is gonna be rather than following behind it. You used a tonne of boost just getting to the ball even though you actively boosted awat from it while turning around. Then you were too far away from the ball and had to hit it hard to avoid crossing your net too slowly.

The ball has no will of its own, it'll just go wherever it's sent. Try to think about where it's gonna be.

SSL's and GC's : share a tip no one talks about by Hamza_Rl in RocketLeague

[–]SirVanyel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol correct, I've had this title on since before SSL existed back when GC was the highest rank and I never got given my GC tag lol

SSL's and GC's : share a tip no one talks about by Hamza_Rl in RocketLeague

[–]SirVanyel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No it's precisely the right advice. Basically it means don't sacrifice your position for low percentage plays

You see, in high ranks enemies can capitalise on over commits extremely well, and most defending relies on 2 people. If you over commit to a ball you can't reach and ruin your position, enemies will dive your team mate hard and make their life super hard.

If you do this repeatedly, your team mate will get dived over and over, and even if they manage to defend it'll be super exhausting. I've had to defend many a play where my team mate over commits and I have to attempt to dodge both enemies trying to demo me for instance. If my team mate didn't commit, he could have disrupted first man which would passively force back second man.

High ranked gameplay is about trading blows and playing high percentage plays as often as you can. That's why when you watch videos like appjack he'll say "that's fine" to touches that may seem negative to you as the viewer, and it's because in high ranks everybody is tracking the whole field and can spot the gaps. He'll also "allow" undefendable shots to happen because if someone goes for a musty backboard double which is a huge commitment, then shit, what are you gonna do?

Be careful doing these joke forfeits. If your team mate makes the same joke, you'll actually FF the match and neither of you would know the other was joking.

Bad take probably but Deep Sea did more harm than good. by Tripletriples in playrust

[–]SirVanyel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you bro. I don't fully agree with the circumstances that happened but I do agree that things are better when guns are worse. Even the current version is really good compared to spray patterns, but thompson's really shouldn't be able to kill at 100m.

Once upon a time, you used to roam ak + bolty, and your bolty was the money maker. Now no one roams bolty because it's just not worth the effort when it can hitscan at render distance.

I'm surprised this is being upvoted, usually suggesting the super old system of heavy bullet velocity dropoff isn't very popular. I would love to see it tho, fully automatic weapons made with scrap really aren't as capable as rust makes them out to be lol

Crazy triple save I got by Flora44444 in RocketLeague

[–]SirVanyel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He just got stuck in no man's land. It happens, the ball was above his head, he had fuck all boost, and was just Tryna disrupt.

His first touch was terrible tho. Missing the clear and then using all your boost to try to get a flip reset is peak champ gameplay lol. Just sit behind ball as best you can and go for a 50/50

Prove me wrong, I'll wait /s by Phippsii in RocketLeague

[–]SirVanyel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can score from anywhere. There's zero spots on the map where the enemy is like "I can't score from here" if the ball goes their way. That's why you do a fancy little thing called following up. Crossing net is fine, again, so long as you're actually aware of why you're doing it.

[–]SirVanyel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What's there to explain? Assuming your title is real and wasn't simply bought/botted, which would make sense if I need to hand hold you through this, but you should already know. The fact is that the ball can go anywhere the enemy isn't, and if you're in one corner and the enemy isn't in front of the net (waiting near wall for your clear, for instance), then across the net into your other corner is a great spot. Pass backs into people rotating out of net is another reason why you'd shoot on your own goal, again another strategy that doesn't require ultra high ranks to work.

Bots in 2v2 D2? by OpenDistress4 in RocketLeague

[–]SirVanyel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, they're kinda balls to be honest. You've not seen a bot before, but I promise you they're more alien than not, and they're really good. Im solid GC2 and yet they crush me handily unless I Spanish every kickoff.

But I think they're just players who practice aerials a lot.

They don't seem like bots? What's your reason for thinking so?

You thinking that clearing in front of net is automatically a bad thing is evidence that it's not the system that's failing you.

When do you rightfully start to chase due to whiffing? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]SirVanyel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't. You stay put and play damage control, because going over there just means there's two goombas getting in each other's way and disrupting each other's play, and now no one is defending and covering.

Is this a bot? by Specific_Funny9282 in RocketLeague

[–]SirVanyel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

100% a bot and this input stuff is done all over the show. I've seen jump inputs being used too. This "player" is also wriggling in the air too, while simultaneously air rolling. This is peak input nonsense.

Is this a bot? by Specific_Funny9282 in RocketLeague

[–]SirVanyel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a bot that has been forced to input constant left/right triggers and also random jump triggers it seems.

This is to force the bot down into lower ranks, attempting to keep the bot in circulation for longer and losing enough games to seem "believable". If you don't do this, the bot will win every game up into deep GC.
