    You are absolutely right and I never sat down to think about it that way. I am at D2 right now and I can't seem to climb higher, but something rang a bell when you said "lower ranks let easier shots in". For the longest time I only focused on my rotations and never put the time to train my accuracy or power. I got from P1 to D2 very fast after focusing on positioning and rotations, but now in D2, even if my rotations are good, most of my shots get saved (something that didn't happen in plat) because honestly they are pretty mediocre. I literally just realized this when you said it. Thank you so much, now I know on what to focus my training. You are the best and I love you.

    But there is actually a huge point missing for the lower ranks. I remember when I was hard stuck plat, my mates couldn't even do passes mid or backpost rotation when I trusted them doing it. Not only will they then blame you for losing, they won't want to recognise their mistakes when you ACTUALLY know it better then them. It's a situation where you rely on them being backpost or not taking that mid and back 100 boost. It's where you count on them doing simple rotation but they still fail. Or clearing a shot while you had ball cam off for 2sec. They not only fail but also don't recover. And getting out there is a really hard task. Because like Thano said 'You can't control your mate'.

I'm honest with myself about my mistakes, I watch replays and see these bad habits and I spend time practising mechanics. What still happens to me no matter how much I play is that I slump at least 50% of the time and fuck up things I confidently have done for 800 hours prior. It becomes incredibly frustrating to see myself forget how to do something so simple that I've done for a LONG time. I've been stuck for around 600-700 hours now and it's starting to get really old. It honestly pushes me to want to quit the game almost every time I play. This is a well made video and the tips are great but I really do wonder if someone that's already doing this and still not improving has just reached a personal ceiling. Call it a limiting belief if you want but it's been my experience for hundreds of hours now.

      @@b0ne91 Well you're in luck because I somewhat figured out my problem. It was mostly my mental. I had to work on a TON of stuff I found reading a sports and exercise psychology book and started reminding myself that RL is a competition. You are competing and that comes with lots of traps to fall into. The reason I slumped all the time is because I was always sleep deprived, always focused on failures and mistakes and frustrated with myself. I would always focus on things outside of my control like smurfs or bad teammates and even some days just believed my own performance was some magical thing I had no influence over which wasn't true. I also used to win games and play well and call myself lucky or call the opponents bad when you're supposed to attribute your successes to your efforts. I learned a lot. I now sit in the top 0.1% of RL at GC2 div 4 but I'm taking a break for a bit. I fully believe SSL is a CHOICE now. Hope this reassures you somewhat.

      @@MegaYamato10 Damn, thank you for the response. I feel like sleep deprivation/exhaustion is a big thing for me too. I definitely know the mental is.
      But I don't see any where where I won't get frustrated if I keep failing at things that I've practiced a million times and half the days out of the week I just feel "off". I'd probably have to fix my physical health way before I can ever work on the mental.
      I don't mind making mistakes and taking time to learn new skills. But constantly failing at old skills that I haven't even neglected is what really makes me want to just give up. That being said, I'm in my 30s as well, so I think GC1/2 is probably the highest I'll ever see. I don't play ranked much anymore and even on my worst days, I'll be high C2/low C3, but I just can't bring myself to consistently be GC or even just do the things I want to do.

      Sleep is obviously a big thing as almost everyone is aware and as I said it helps to start think of RL as what it is. Competing. No one expects to get to the Olympics doing squats at 4am eating pizza and ice cream. Your sleep messes with mechanics, game sense and mentality. As for the messing up stuff you've done before, I have bad news for that one. You will always mess up stuff you've done before and it will be because of things like sleep deprivation, loss of confidence, rust or just loss of focus from emotional or physical stressors and distractions. That being said I think people also massively underestimate the time motor skills take. In my reading I found a popular theory about three stages of motor skill learning but I noticed that they often talked about a set motor task that doesn't change much.

It's motor skills responding to visual stimulus which is ever changing with millions of possible scenarios. The reason no one in rocket league is 100% consistent is because not every shot or touch is the same. You would need countless repetitions on all the millions of combinations of ball and car scenarios to be 100% consistent and even THEN you could still slump. It's best to accept you will always make mistakes. Personally I don't think I've messed up a half flip for around 1500 hours because it's a simple motor skill that's always the same. Compare that to a simple motor skill used dynamically like a stall and it's much harder. Compare that to the millions of aerials and it gets ridiculous.
      Finally I think pretty much everyone can get GC (maybe with outside help) but SSL requires a lot. You need a lot of time and dedication along with positivity or you will burn out and give up. I'm kinda babbling now but I really think you can get GC, you just gotta treat rocket league like the competition it is. Everyone else in C3 wants GC too and if they're sleeping properly and practicing twice as often then of course you'll struggle. Btw if you want me to watch a couple of your replays or something and see where the problems lie, we could do that. It also might help to hear someone explain what the recommended emotional and cognitive reactions to situations are. Failure, success, bad teammates or Smurfs etc. Hope this helped.

    Great vid Thanovic, ironically I realized that these very basics were what was keeping me in diamond and finally hit champion a few days ago by purely focusing on them.
    I've not done much replay analysis because frankly, I'm not sure how to really spot the habitual flaws rather than obvious mistakes. Perhaps a new vid on how you would do that would be helpful to myself and others.
    Thanks man, and who wouldn't take your advice?? You've come so far before our own eyes.

  • @NoMercy8008
    @NoMercy8008 3 года назад

    First and most important things first:
    Great video, thanks a lot for it! I have been watching your content since i started playing Rocket League back in 2019 und i still find all of your videos really really helpful and enjoyable! Much appreciated!
    I also have a little suggestion/question, which i feel kinda fits to the topic of this video. It's maybe a bit of a difficult one und sorta covered in other videos, but I personally could see it being helpful to make one whole video dedicated to it.
    So here it is:
    Mistakes happen. Constantly and to everyone.
    Most of your videos to me are more or less about spotting your mistakes and becoming better to avoid them in the future.
    But even to the best of the best, mistakes still occasionally happen. And recovering from those mistakes can be an art in and of itself. So I think a video about some of the most common mistakes and how to recover from them in case they do happen to you or your team would maybe be super helpful to many of us, I feel.
    Again, I know this is a difficult topic and sorta situational, so I'd totally understand if you think it ultimately doesn't make sense, but i wanted to leave the suggestion here in case others are interested, so I hope this gives you some inspiration, if you want :)
    Also, I'd like to describe one mistake that at the moment seems to happen to me and the randoms I play with pretty often:
    I'm in low to mid Plat currently, so rotations are still a bit weird in many games. I always try my best to rotate and go backpost to cover as much of the goal as possible.
    But I often find myself in the situation where i am backpost and I see both of my teammates in our own corner chasing for the ball. In these situations I usually think to myself something in the lines of: "If i kinda hit the brakes and wait backpost where I am, I kill all my momentum and become an easy target for a demo play. But if I kinda creep forwards to keep my momentum or drive in a circle or something, I'd essentially leave my backpost spot and put myself into a position where i might not be able to make a save. So what do I do? What's the best way to react in this situation when i know that I'm the only one backpost and noone is behind me?". That also often leads to me kinda hesitating, and hesitation is mostly a bad thing, which is another reason why I want to find out what I can do better :)
    So in other words: How to make the most of a situation where I know that the rotation is already messed up?
    Just to make it clear: I don't want to blame my teammates for it or anything, I'm not perfect myself, again mistakes happen to everyone, so no hard lines intended here. This is mainly about a situation where some mistake has already happened and I wonder how I can fix it or at least make the most out of it without making it even worse.
    Any constructive input would be much appreciated :)
    And again, thanks a lot for your videos!

    @kredible3651 3 года назад

    I think a bad habit that I have developed is air rolling all the time. I realized in plat once I started air rolling it was so fun to do and now I do it all the time. Even doing it when there is really no reason to or when it really doesn't help me or my teammates. Another would probably me boost management, always finding myself lacking boost and going for big pads. I have been starting to use the small pads a lot more, but I don't think I'm really that efficient at getting them all yet lol. Thanks for the video Thanovic, you always have really good advice! :)

    Someone once told me that if you cant beat 2 golds at the same time then you dont deserver to be plat. Same for diamond and plat, champ and diamond, and etc. I will always feel this is true. As a diamond i can wreck plat, same for gold and bronze. I see their mistakes and can counter act them. This is a solid video and its nice to know that at any level you still have alot to learn. Except for SSL. Watch their streams. Those dudes are dead inside and know every angle every ball touch will make. Remember to have fun because the best arent having fun all the time.

    Yeah, guys he is right. I am steadily climbing up and hit C3 after a bit more than a year playing.
    The reason is, I am always training the basics. Lets make an example: I am C3 now, so you might think "this guy is working on tripple+ rests" and this is where you are wrong. I am still sticking to mechanical basics like double restes or stall resets into pogo musty double taps.
    So fellow gamers, to get good at the game you need to have the basics down

I always have at least over 100 ping every time I enter ranked 1v1 and it shoots up to over 300 randomly which makes me or the ball lag over to the other side of the field. When I'm in 3v3 my ping is commonly over 150 ping which is so hard to deal with so I can rarely help my teamates
