Hey guys thank you for all the feedback! Correction/clarification on the title… (since I think I cut some of the intro/explanation) This list is ranked Highest ROI to lowest ROI. So, difficulty was the #1 factor but I also weighted the list by how much benefit each mechanic gives you when it comes to ranking up. This is why both wave dashes and air dribbles for example, were in my C tier. Of course, they have much different difficulty levels haha. Hope that helps and you found the video valuable 💙
As a gc2 i could give one tip to players trying to learn fast aerials which i have used when i was learning them which really helped me out. I played alot of dropshot. And the reason for that is especially at the lower ranks the ball is way more often high in the air in dropshot than in the regular gamemodes. Which gives you much more chances per game to practice and execute your fast aerials. Would really recommend it if your diamond or below!
Did that with my friend now he is chasing like mad it can mess you up I d rather chose shadow defence training pack where you can only save eith fast aerial plus set up specific amount of boost this helps a lot even for me a hardstuck gc3 just set up a hard t pack with fast aerials redirects and experiment with boost ammount ut helps you to hit with less boost and improves boost management
If "Wall Play" can be a mechanic, I say we put "Defense" on that list. Lower ranks struggle HEAVILY with patience and not panicking on defense, and many also struggle to play any defense at all! Whenever I am coaching someone below champ, invariably this is one of the weakest parts of their play and I think it's worth adding, especially if we are looking at ranking things which will quickly help someone rank up.
Great list! The only thing I'd add is probably powerslides: easy to overlook, but easy to learn. Incredibly OP at low ranks, and absolutely foundational for many of the more advanced skills like bounce dribbles & shadow defence.
Ok, passing is God Tier. It is above S tier. It is simple and effective. Ask anyone in the GCR, I have zero mechanics. My success is only via passing. Not a champ yet, but getting there. Love to chat with you about it. -Sundance
Managed to reach GC1 in 2v2, I can do almost none of those mechanics. But it's still very important to know what they are and how they work so you can read people who do those things allow you to be very effective for both defense and attack
Almost same, got one game from c3 in 2s and I have trouble making normal dribbles, understanding the game can go a long way, being good it playing it then takes you to that final level.
The end "are you happy with this list?" - yes I am I am a new player (under 100hours I think) and this matches up with what I have seen and feel I lack. It is a great list and very helpful
Additional note to this, just watched the fast aerial video and it was so much easier than it seemed and with just a few minutes in free play you have fixed my slow aerial issues.
Spooky, You're the best thing to happen to RL when it comes to improving your game skillset. Thank you for all the advice and videos! Wish i could afford your GC roadmap But, watch your videos religiously. THANKS AGAIN!
My list I'd make as a D3 - C1 Player: S - Kickoffs A - Half flips, speed aerials, joystick air roll, wall play, backwards saves B - Bounce dribbles, ground shots, carries and pops, wave dashes, passing The rest same as Luke. I put bounce dribbles and ground shots lower because they are hard to learn to do WELL, wall play and backwards saves because they are uncommon and help in many situations, passing higher because if done intelligently can make sure you're usually last man and puts you in defense, where you want to be for a carry playstyle. Aslo double taps at C tier because they are hard, but as useful or more useful than air dribbles.
Agreed but it’s best to have multiple kinds of kickoffs in your arsenal so that you can switch it up to keep your opponent guessing. You don’t want to be limited to only playing paper in rock paper scissors
Landing on all four was one of the biggest breakthoughs for me, learning to land in certain ways in order to either redirect or maintain momentum made the recovery and speed aspects of my game so much better.
from my pov the thing with speedflips is that it doesn't take that long to know how to do them but it takes ages to master them to the point that you never mess one up and you can do them to both directions. I've learned the speedflip with airroll left and powerslide since back then i had both if these bound to the same button. i changed my settings after i first hit gc since i wasn't very comfortable with them, especially when it comes to recoveries. after playing freeplay for the next two weeks i got used to my new settings and relearned the speedflip for regular airroll. since i already had the muscle memory for my thumb i got it down pretty easily but still i can improve after using the speedflip for over about two years now. also learning the speedflip to the other side (right in my case) is harder but I'm getting there. The speedflip is greatly beneficial but if you mess it up it can lead to an open net for your opponent, now matter which playlist you're rocking
i think redirecting has a value at low/mid-level rocket league for clearing the ball. a well placed pass from the goal box to a teammate partway to the corner boost is super effective against players who are all pushed up too far (which is every diamond player), and results in incredibly free goals. it does unfortunately require more than one conscious player on your team though, which is rare. im not even conscious half my games edit: got to the part about passing. LOL sad but true
I have a problem where i know how to go backpost powerslide cut hold powerslide when landing double jump pop keep the ball close air roll shot fast aeriel and saving boost plus rotational demo and i am stuck in d1 how do i rank up?
If this is an tier list for mid to low rank players can you make a list for higher ranked players who are C2-G2 who already have more than 1.5k hours on the game Ps love the vid😊
are you joking? learn from the top and work towards the bottom. how could this not be any clearer? oh let me guess you thought it was time you learned flip resets because you're just naturally better than everyone else right? is that what you needed to hear?
Im a D2 gamesense oriented player and this vid made me feel so much better about my mechanics im good a decent chunk of the improtant mechanics and now i have a nice list of things to work on awsome vid thanks Luke
Bro I play rainbow six siege player an I hit champ this season Ike usual an ALL of my friends play Rocket League an I finally gave it a chance and LOVED it I watch Luke’s videos and I went from Gold to Diamond in a WEEK just practicing an learning mechanics! Thank Youuuu Luke!
lol after the half hour video, "and besides what are you going to do after you watch this? probably just go train airdribbles anyways... so... umm... yeah! you know what? here's a link to my airdribble tutorial. go learn how to airdribble." that is just golden XD
practice things like double taps and ceiling shots fellas. focusing a fun mechanic will improve your overall car control massively. which is the most important mechanic ever. Purely feeling at one with the car is the peak of ability. then its just down to the creativity in your mind.
no mention about landing. powerbrake and maybe letting off the gas or even reversing sometimes if you don't land in the same direction as your momentum can make your recoveries go from slow to "how did you get back in time from that?"
I see plats doing air roll aerials, speed flip kick offs with a second flip, even seen some do wave dash kick off, half flips, bunch of pops with a carried dribble. Redirects, wave dashes, flip resets, musty flicks, ceiling shots. EVERY TIME I PLAY SMURF LEAGUE.
There is a certain way i do my pinches which makes them a lot more consistent to me, but they are less powerful. What i do is push the ball in front of the car leaving no space between me and the ball. and as it starts rolling up the wall i either jump once or dodge into the ball. i will have to hit the ball at the same angle as any other pinch, but its much easier to get the timing right this way. For me at least. I use these pinches when i'm out of boost, or conserving boost and get a bit of a surprise powerclear past the opponents and creating an opportunity for a teammate to get an aerial shot from it. So i do these in my corners when opponents are in an offensive rotation in the corners. or when i know the opponents will be able to take the ball from me if i shoot it somewhere normally. It's just harder for opponents to predict and easier for a teammate to make use of.
Honestly learning double taps helped me lear to read the ball a lot... so I would but it higher just bc of that. But for the most part I agree with the rest of the list.
As soon as he put passing in D Teir i cried a little inside because even though he said "for the average player" Players that are above average are gonna use this as an excuse to chase.
As a ground player in D2/D3 I beat gcs in diamond 1s all the time who are double resetting on me but for the life of them cannot save a simple ground shot. It's clear where the hours go.
hey, great content as always, Luke! as a content and it would be great if you could show us how to preflip into an air dribble. I think it's a good mechanic for air dribbles that barely anyone talks about.
i'm a bit intrigued. i don't use joystick air roll, ever. i have both air roll left and right binded, therefore leaving me to believe that joystick air roll is not necessary. thoughts?
The only thing I disagree with is air dribbles should be under ceiling shots. Ceiling shots are super easy to learn and personally with both mechs being clean in execution, more of my ceiling shots go in regardless of the opponents rank. It's easier to do a quick flip on a challenging opponent than push it out of the way and still get it in goal. Ceiling shots offer nearly as much reward and dribbling is like 10x harder to learn. If you can figure out how to fly to the ceiling and bounce off, and you can touch a ball in the air, you have cieling shot down. Air dribble is like a whole process, you got to have amazing ball reading skills, good car control, good ball control, and put in hundreds of hours to make it useful even after you manage to hold the ball in the air for more than a few seconds. But if you can touch it off the ceiling in a few hours of practice you've already opened up your ability to score at anything under c3 no cap. Ceiling shots is just an airel power shot where you can flip when you feel like it instead of a timer. Much much easier. Champs and below SUCK at reading ceiling shots, its the only Ariel mech I bother with in 1s most of the time.
I've been using redirects for quite some time and my highest rank so far was champ 2. I won't agree on that one being that low, but at the same time I can understand why you put it there.
I am a champ3 and use regular air roll for everything, but I'm pretty mechanical. So I'm wondering if I should learn how to use air roll right/left. Can you help me out?
Question: Isn't passing a bit mor important? I watched a video recently about how people forget that "mechanic" amd not train it at all. And today, I thought, why not. It's a good idea. Yes, it is hard, Yes, you have to count on others, Yes, others have to count on you, but isn't that ok? When I play ranked I do solos or 2v2 and those are always with a friend which we are also talking over Discord. So, we can communicate. Doesn't that eliminate the problem of "counting" on your random teammate, if you and your friends know that you pass the ball every know and then while screaming "PASSING/PASS"? 😂
I really wanted to join your coaching stuff so i can have a coach help me get to grandchamp but when i found out the cost i didnt join because i dont have money at the moment.
i usually sit in freeplay or play casuals and dont play ranked and im d2 atm, whenever i play ranked its so easy to win so should i play it more or just do what i enjoy more which is freestyling ?
Its so insane to think that I have reached the previously highest rank in the game gc and now am kind of at the top of rocket leauge. Is there still a lot to do and learn and stuff. Yes for sure. But its kinda insane to think about the fact that I put so many hours into a game. Rl kinda opened my mindset on what i can achieve with persistence.
That feel when I have air roll right down perfectly, I use it constantly and rarely mess itup. Can't speed flip to save my life. Been practicing once a week for like a year now. I don't get it. I can flip cancel to get my double flip reset, I half flip constantly, I use flip cancels in my shots to transition into air roll smoother. I feel i have flip cancels as a whole down pretty well and use them creatively, but speed flips just wont work! I've watched every tutorial, tried changing my settings. I think my brain is incapable of the speed flip. It's maddening.
I faced a 2s GC in diamond 1s yesterday that couldn't/wouldn't flip on KO. Not a single time. Lost every one. They didn't fair too well 😂. GCS in Diamond 1s is common now, but they usually give me a challenge at least. Strange.
talking about kickoffs in the first part I will wavedash at the start then flip into the ball but is this better, worse or the same as normally flipping at kickoff?
It's not any faster than diagonal flipping and easier to mess up. Use them if you want to but you'd probably find less mistakes with normal flips and you'd definitely do better with speedflips, although speedflipping off of kickoff takes a while to learn.
idk if you have a video on kickoff strats or not but i'm C1/C2 in 2s and I can speed flip consistently. Most people in this rank look like they're speed flipping but it's not quite as fast and alot don't speed flip at all. But it seems like even though I'm speed flipping faster I'm still getting beat hard on kickoffs. If anyone has any tips feel free.
also, i disagree about half flips being useful all the time. they're quite situational and if you already have momentum, it's generally going to be faster to turn
I Play on Keyboard and use air Roll left and right as my (directional air roll) never use the power slide and d or a air roll because it’s more comfortable for me to use e and q

thank you for making this possible and supporting the channel
I like how passing is put so low when Sunless uploaded a video yesterday about passing🤣

S - Kickoffs
A - Half flips, speed aerials, joystick air roll, wall play, backwards saves
B - Bounce dribbles, ground shots, carries and pops, wave dashes, passing

Sometimes going slow and doing the delayed kick off is better.
Its like a rock paper scissors situation on what kick off your opponent is doing

You should learn to pass even at diamond, in my opinion. So, for me, a champ player, I'd put it at B tier.
Dont pass 🤬🤬🤬!!!

I rank learning ground dribble Stier. If i do it in free play as a warmup, i tend to keep the ball close in matches, like habit building.
There is a certain way i do my pinches which makes them a lot more consistent to me, but they are less powerful. What i do is push the ball in front of the car leaving no space between me and the ball. and as it starts rolling up the wall i either jump once or dodge into the ball. i will have to hit the ball at the same angle as any other pinch, but its much easier to get the timing right this way.

Can you make a mechanics list ranked by game mode? Best for 3s, 2s and 1v1?
Truer words have never been spoken. "Are you going to go practice Air dribbling anyways? Probably."
ARL is a combination of inputs, understanding momentum and boost timing.
What about psychos?
The one exception to passing is in those impossible angels when you hit off the wall and pray😂
How would this help someone like me that is on kbm
Good list, I think first touches should be there tho.
i love it. just before this vid and before u put passing in e tier i watched a video by sunlesskhan that players dont pass enough
Honestly learning double taps helped me lear to read the ball a lot... so I would but it higher just bc of that. But for the most part I agree with the rest of the list.
As soon as he put passing in D Teir i cried a little inside because even though he said "for the average player" Players that are above average are gonna use this as an excuse to chase.
In solo q they just aren't that viable
Passing also takes two players out of the game instead of one if it fails. Which it usually does
It’s just a lot of people wait in front of their teamate or right to the side for a pass when they should be behind behind defense is more important
As a ground player in D2/D3 I beat gcs in diamond 1s all the time who are double resetting on me but for the life of them cannot save a simple ground shot. It's clear where the hours go.
I remember I had a random spark to train my defense in plat. Felt like a god cause I could save almost every shot especially in plat

Thats how you learn to read the ball and improve speed

but if you can become comfortable wavedashing from any position, with any flip, and some creativity it goes above c tier no?

I faced a 2s GC in diamond 1s yesterday that couldn't/wouldn't flip on KO. Not a single time. Lost every one. They didn't fair too well 😂. GCS in Diamond 1s is common now, but they usually give me a challenge at least. Strange.
talking about kickoffs in the first part I will wavedash at the start then flip into the ball but is this better, worse or the same as normally flipping at kickoff?
It's not any faster than diagonal flipping and easier to mess up. Use them if you want to but you'd probably find less mistakes with normal flips and you'd definitely do better with speedflips, although speedflipping off of kickoff takes a while to learn.
It's actually slightly slower than a normal diagonal flip kick off.
they editing is crazy bro wth
halfway through this video i noticed i don’t use joystick air roll and instead i use both right and left air roll on their respective bumpers…
idk if you have a video on kickoff strats or not but i'm C1/C2 in 2s and I can speed flip consistently. Most people in this rank look like they're speed flipping but it's not quite as fast and alot don't speed flip at all. But it seems like even though I'm speed flipping faster I'm still getting beat hard on kickoffs. If anyone has any tips feel free.
also, i disagree about half flips being useful all the time. they're quite situational and if you already have momentum, it's generally going to be faster to turn
Ima go practice air dribbles now... I mean bounce dribbles! Definitely bounce dribbles!🎉😅
I wish I can get on the gc roadmap but I don’t have 1000+ for coaching 😔
I Play on Keyboard and use air Roll left and right as my (directional air roll) never use the power slide and d or a air roll because it’s more comfortable for me to use e and q
lmao i made it to gc without half flips which was a huge mistake lmao, ngl had to play facing the play at all times, which wasnt always easy
I disagree with redirects. I’m c2 and they have helped me so much. It can help with defense as well as if you’re doing passing plays.
I still see people in my GC1 lobbies not flipping at all on kickoffs.
To be honest I think wave dashes should be higher because once I learned it it made me a lot more mindful of my recoveries
