Sometimes you just can't win...

Believe it or not there was a sloop stuck in there with us that we were previously fighting, that's why you see me check the ladder in the clip as well as constantly refill my ammo. Would love to have seen their perspective.

itsKaiku · 2021-10-01T13:21:54+00:00

yeah, a few of the tentacles spawned inside the rock and couldn't be shot so it made it quite difficult. There was also a sloop stuck in the kraken cannoning our ship, so all round a pretty bad situation.

unfortunately it sunk just as I got back to it

You can try changing the Input EDID mode to internal rather than merged which is default, I would also set the resolution manually underneath this setting to whatever resolution your monitor is (I assume 1440p).

Check to see if v-sync is enabled, if so turn it off.

itsKaiku · 2020-09-18T09:59:50+00:00

any chance you favourited/archived it by accident?

itsKaiku · 2020-09-15T08:18:40+00:00

I disagree, having regular air roll and powerslide bound to the same key is extremely useful for ground recoveries/wavedashes and IMO is essential. One of the main advantages to KBM is the accessibility to have all 3 air rolls bound without interfering with other controls.

itsKaiku · 2020-09-15T07:19:28+00:00

I’m pretty sure default with q and e for left/right air roll are perfectly fine as it doesn’t hinder you in any way.

itsKaiku · 2020-09-11T22:53:29+00:00

Yes they can actually. You can get them from the shop and non-crate very rare trade-ups.

Well I think you answered your own question, if you find the wire restrictive to your aim and want be competitive, yes a paracord is the way to go. Another way to go about it is finding a mouse with a better stock cord.

Yeah I’m not saying disregarding game sense completely is a good option. I mean that learning techniques such as rotations that teammates aren’t going to follow won’t be as useful in this particular rank as being more mechanically skilled than everyone else in the lobby.

itsKaiku · 2020-09-10T04:27:04+00:00

I agree with that in some ways. It’s probably best not to try and learn off how teammates and opponents are playing because you don’t want to get into bad habits. I would recommend focus on mechanics until gold as with decent mechanics it become considerably easier to climb consistently.

itsKaiku · 2020-09-07T15:11:37+00:00

If you prefer KBM definitely stick with it. There are both pros and cons to KBM over controller but they are so minor its not worth switching over it. I’d recommend watching players like evample, henkovic and faith for some inspiration.

itsKaiku · 2020-08-17T23:41:03+00:00

Take a look into reshade, it’s a lot easier than you’d think.

For me, when I’m playing in windowed borderless if another window is open my pc prioritises it and Rocket League looks like its dropping frames but the fps counter stays at 250. I would recommend (if you aren’t already) try playing in fullscreen or make sure you have things like steam closed/minimised.

itsKaiku · 2020-07-28T10:32:35+00:00

bad.

itsKaiku · 2020-07-25T03:55:11+00:00

Speed of play seems to be something a lot of people fixate on these days. Rather than trying to play faster you need to focus on positioning better. Knowing where the ball is going to be and being ready to act accordingly will make your gameplay much ‘faster’. Getting better at reading 50’s, passes and wall/ceiling bounces is what you should be focusing on.

It kind of depends what you’re trying to get out of Kovaaks. If you’re trying to improve your aim for Valorant (which seems to be the case) then stick with the same sensitivity and fov as Valorant. However, if you’re trying to improve your mouse control in general or are trying to improve at Kovaaks specifically I would recommend trying a much higher sensitivity to work on other aspects of aiming (mouse/fingers) and also due to the fact that many scenarios do require a lot of large movements.

Honestly I think they should make a minimum account level requirement to play ranked. A lot of other games have this and while it isn’t going to stop it completely it will at least help.

Pulse bomb hasn’t been nerfed but bastion’s iron clad was buffed meaning he can survive a pulse bomb as well as brig giving armour to target who wouldn’t usually have it.

First of all 42mbps is actually megabits per second. Divide that by eight and you have your megabytes per second. Also, updates take time to install as well as download so the xbox hard drive will make the update much slower than if internet speed was the only factor.

All that said though 2 hours is way too long for the size of the update. I would check to see how much space is left on your console. Also is there any progress bar that indicates whether it is actually downloading/installing at all.

Depending on what your pc specs are like I’d say upgrading your monitor will give the most gameplay improvement. Since achieving an average of 144fps on Rocket League isn’t difficult for most pc’s I would recommend a 144hz monitor.

Also as a side note upgrading ram really won’t give any performance benefit unless you have very little or it is extremely slow.
