I'm C3 and a lot of these tips I know, but still can't get my brain to commit to all of them in the fast pace of the game. It's still great to have someone remind me so I can try making all of them muscle memory. Unless your SSL, no reason to skip over your content. Thx Spook
Repeat the process with a new habit each time. It could even be 'ive been doing flip resets in Freeplay. But I never go for them in games'. So you que games constantly going for flip resets. Until you're comfortable that you can go for one whenever you want.
Choose one thing to ensure you focus on each game. Trying to implement a lot of new ways of thinking all at once is hard. But focusing only on, for instance, ensuring that you don't commit to going for a ball where the opponent clearly has you beat, something I struggle with, and not worrying about any other mistakes really helps. Humans generally do really well at focusing on one thing at a time, so it's the most efficient use of time to try to do that whenever possible. And this even goes for things outside of Rocket League as well.
@@nexus1g if you're still struggling. You didn't learn the lesson. Or you failed to isolate where and why you're going when you're beat. A possible cause. Maybe you're still focusing on playing/winning games instead of isolating just the behaviour you need to change.
I've seen so many tutorial videos where it was mentioned that holding jump and then flip is better, and it was always obvious that it's right. However, this is the first time I actually found out that holding jump actually EXTENDS the flip window. Great stuff Luke! Thank you so much!
I always play with my friend, together we went from mid gold to low diamond over like a year or so. Not too much progress, sure, but we’re having fun and every step forward is a step forward to be proud of
@KitBits That is the only thing it matters. Rank does not matter. It is whether you are having fun or not. What's the point playing if you are not having fun?
First of all, let’s give him huge credit for how hard he worked for this video. This is really helpful, and I never knew how much mistakes I have been making. I’m a Plat, trying to get to Diamond and Champ, so this is really helpful. TY do much!
I was solo queing in a gold lobby as a gold suddenly coming across a silver that could air dribble, flip reset, speed flip on kickoff and wall dash FLAWLESSLY!!! WHATS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?!?!
Honestly another thing I notice when I defend in aerials, I just tend to try to pretend i’m trying to score on my own net… I usually miss my goals and it helps lol
Thanks Luke! I just realized how many mistakes i was making without even realizing it, i knew i had bad habits, but i never realized the things i thought were good were not beneficial. Though still probably end up solo queuing cause my friends dont play rl.
About the defense i think its even better to learn this than attacking first, obviously its more satisfying to score goals but the fact that everyone want to be that one guy is a problem and an advantage too, i started by learning and practicing defense instead of attack so yeah i can miss alot of scoring opportunities but i rarely fail to defend, i have 40h and i am currently p3/d1, i now need to practice my attacking skills and especially my ball control but being a good defender knowing than most of my teammates will be able to attack anyway is an advantage when in the ennemy team they both can't defend correctly (and they can't in plat/low diamond) And it also resulted as improving alot of things that will help for attacking so it's even more a win, i will take less goals + improve more since i will almost always be the defender -> more occasions to defend = more improving
Basically the same on me, not too many skilled to make great attacks but I'm always doing epic saves and centering the ball, still make some good goals
looking at discord I realized you have everything setup so easily and simple it is really well done. You deserve to be much bigger than 300k subs for all the hard work you put into this stuff. well done
In response to #2, I am diamond and can't shoot for shit, but my defense is pretty solid... I usually have more saves than shots, and my shadowing and bumping to stop a push are both pretty solid... I just can't handle the pressure most of the time when I have a chance to shoot and end up tensing up and choking...
In truth, many elements from Rocket League coincide with football/soccer. If you understand the sport's basic rules and can read the game, it definitely helps you in many situations. Take "shadow defending" for example. In football, when you're a defender in a 1v1 situation, you don't wanna rush your decision. Instead, you wanna stay frontal with the attacker and just follow his movement waiting for the moment to strike

As a champ, the only mechanic i’ve ever practiced is defense. The best shot i’ve ever hit are good 50s and angles. I highly recommend using defensive mechanics more than offensive.
you explain everything so clearly, like a great teacher. thanks. even tho I agree with all the mistakes, I didn't find the answer to why I want to play rocket league in the first place. there are somethings you can't explain to everyone.. sadly, i still didn't find the way I want to play the game.
For plat I would say as a c1 which might unqualify me but I got through plat by learning how to shoot and play behind my teammate rather than next to them also stop hitting the ball from your corner to the other corner as it gets the ball right in front of your goal
bruh, the day I watched this video I went from platinum to diamond, these tips are extremely useful and I wish more people knew about them. Now I just gotta learn some weird mechanics and I can probably go past diamond, thanks for this wonderful video
Hey Luke, I really Appreciate your Tips, but just Asking, what Decal do you have Equppied? I like the Slick Clean Design and I'd like to have it Along with my TW Zombas and TW Octane!
Seeing one “Wow!” From a teammate makes me root against my teammate and I want us to lose. I’ve just turned off all non tactical chat now and it makes the game sm better.
I find that when I am kicking off and my team mate "cheats up," if they can't get the ball in the mid-field, than we're both stuck without boost and chasing back to the goal to play defense. Kind of an annoying tactic that I guess works at the higher ranks but I feel like I get a lot of goals scored on me when my team mate "cheats up."
I've never thought to say it cuz all tutorials arent so well at all but this video is very made up well and show me things that I've never notice even if Im d3. It's a lot of harder playing like this but is more fluid and dynamic so is well asf. Thanks for tutorial man you are good. I hope you'll read this comment cuz I want you know it
As a former c2 i relish the challange of solo q, if i cannot get out of diamond or win majority of my games that is my fault so i will improve my issues
Something to consider. All the solo quers at your rank got there without comms, cooperation or a consistent team mate. Theyre more skilled and adaptable than you are. So your rank will drop when you have to play them on even terms.
Demoing is a cheap shot. I could care less if it’s in the game or not. Just because it’s available to do, doesn’t mean you use it. Now in Snow Day I don’t mind Demos when it’s accidental. That’s a part of staying grounded and boosting for the puck
Backpost is not what you are supposed to say. You should say "come in from the weak side" because the strong side is the half of the feild that the ball is on and the weak side is vice versa. you cut the field in half lengthwise
I want to see casual mode left for randoms and there be a separate club casual mode for club players. They have an unfair advantage on mics, playing together regularly vs randoms. I get teams wanting to practice but they should practice vs other club teams. It would be a lot fairer.
Hey! Thanks for all the great videos. I know I am late to the party but just tried Rocket League for the first time about a month ago. I think I’m addicted but wow do I suck! Trying to apply your advice from your channel. Overthinking a lot too. Trying to learn ball cam better right now. Could use some encouragement because I don’t want to give up on the game but I am tired of going to bed angry most nights lol.
If you’re noticing that you get frustrated, stop playing. The angrier you get, the more mistakes you’ll make, the more you lose, the angrier you get, etc. It’s all about fun!
Give this one a try, there is a RUclips to guide you as well, it was a bit too hard for me but seems like a good beginning for people who wants to get better at backboard : 20C1-273B-99B9-B96C
@@Nobodyrl109 not committing in opponents corners, picking up pads more instead of going far away for big boost so that u can stay in the play, rotating back post when u can (and picking up pads on the way), and this just takes practice but judging how far u should be from the ball when a play is happening: like if the ball is barely moving and the play is super slow when ur tm8 and an opponent are on the ball, then u can be close to the play bc it’s not like the ball is gonna fly over ur head or be boomed away. On the other hand, if the ball is moving quickly and the play is happening fast when the opponent and ur tm8 are on the ball, then u should be positioned further away ready for the ball to be hit hard somewhere. So those things all helped me rank up a bit, sorry if that was confusing but yeah 😁
Question unrelated to ranking… in free play or free train, I can’t really play as the “shoot ball” option is L1 and I have my boost bound to L1… anyway to turn off the “shoot ball”, “start dribble”, etc.?
