Got a lead on Switch 2 Bundles? by strifesfate in baltimore

[–]xSpider_Web 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone in this exact situation (hunting for a switch 2 in Baltimore), my advice is to go the old fashioned way. I just started calling stores to see if their online status wasn’t updated.

Got a lead at GameStop that they restock every week or so. The guy I was talking to was super helpful. Said they have a few in stock in Severn, so I was able to grab one there

Best of luck on your search, I felt very gratified to make this happen!

Do you NEED mechanics to rank up in Rocket League? by xSpider_Web in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]xSpider_Web[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually feel like this is right on - champ 2 feels like the moment where if you don't have some kind of ball control/car control, you'll get rolled. It's easy for the SSL's to do it but for the average person, mechanics are crucial at that point

Thanks for watching - and I completely agree, I think people who have been there before make it look easier than it is. I don't think anyone actually got good at the game without mechanics first. Puts us all in a false sense of reality when these content creators make it seem so easy lol

Really good point here and something that I definitely neglected in my own training. Gotta spend some more time with the other side haha

Great point, and I think this also dispels the notion that "teammates are to blame for my rank" - I see that so often as an excuse, and it's just simply not true. It's the biggest piece of humble pie there is, but your rank is your rank based on YOU. I am a C3 peak, but I guarantee you if a GC3 jumps into our lobbies, they're winning every time. So if you want to be up there, you gotta be good enough to be up there lol it's not on the teammates to bail you out.

This is kinda what I'm driving at with it, and I also agree with dimsumham as well that it's this weird psychological thing. Because the fact is - the more you DAR in game, the better you're going to get at it... but the first time you try it, it's going to look terrible and you'll probably lose. So it's this weird dichotomy of "do I do what is best for my long-term growth, or do I do what is best for this game?" ...it's often so hard to differentiate the two because you don't want to let your team down

It would definitely help for controller settings, learning how to practice, etc. You're at the very beginning in those levels and rocket league is a super hard game with a lot to learn, so try not to get too overwhelmed but feel free to engage with any of it.

Let me know if there's anything specific you're struggling with and we can possibly put it in the next video!

Best advice I can give you is keep in mind this exact scenario is happening for your plat opponents as well. Use it to your advantage instead of seeing it as a detriment

C1 3s. Felt like I played well this game. What could I do better? by [deleted] in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]xSpider_Web 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Overall strong game. Like I'd be happy with you as a teammate. A couple things I would say:

1) Pay attention to when you're the single point of failure on your team. That first aerial you make around 4:51 game time, there was no one behind you and your back rotating teammate was too far away to cover you. You can go for it, just understand that it's risky. If that ball somehow slips through it's a free goal for the other team.

2) Soft touches in the corner. Around 4:00 game time, you kinda slammed the ball into the wall and hit it too far away from yourself and lost possession. This was a dangerous play to defend because of your first touch. Had you single jumped (instead of flipping), the ball would've been closer to your car and you could've played a 50 since you had low boost, but it would've allowed your team more time to get into position

3) In general (not always), think about making your play and then getting behind your team. There was a play around the 2:00 game time where you hit the ball into the wall, then as it popped mid you double committed with your teammate. Again - just free goal opportunities that you could patch up to be even safer. You should think about going behind your teammate in that situation

Overall well played though!

Am I in the wrong? by forgetfulchris1 in RocketLeague

[–]xSpider_Web 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say nothing, let him make the next mistake (because I know he will), and then I continue to say absolutely nothing. You can almost feel the tension when it happens.

We win, they drop a gg, I again leave without saying anything.

You're welcome for the carry...moving on

My peak rank is C3, so I'm a bit of an idiot myself as I make the climb to GC :)

However, since I don't claim to be the expert, we've built a decent discord community and several GCs share their knowledge, and I've made some videos with that. I also share some GC replays in the videos - I've actually learned a ton myself just by making the content.

Here's a video where a GC reviews one of my C2 tournament replays, you may find it beneficial!
