For my advice to lower rank players when playing 1s is for when you get heated, just take a step back an come back in an hour or so, so you can think clearly and actually get better rather than just raging across the field, also your furniture will thank you.
What I do is make sure I don’t go on autopilot, I say everything im going to do before I do it and make a profile on the opponent, if they defend everything and block your shots, take advantage of their shots and use it against them. Can’t defend an open net
QOTD: I am Diamond 2 in 1s. Advice: I suggest waiting for you opponent to over commit, and then counter. Just be better at defense because many of my games were people pressuring me with 0 boost. Just stay patient and wait for that over commit to just drive the ball to the goal. Works every time.
I'm diamond 2 now as well because of one guy that did this to me back when I was in Plat and put me in reality check. He literally loses the ball and goes straight back to net, saves it and counters. Made me realize I couldn't dribble nor mind game for shit, so yeah good tip.
This is good advice if you want to win that particular game, but its not good advice if you want to improve to a high rank. Waiting for the opponent to give you an open net will work really well up until a point where you realise you don't know how to score. Challenging yourself to take creative shots as the video suggests will mean that people score open nets on you but will make you improve a lot over time. I know this cause its me I'm diamond 2 in 1s, 2s and 3s from just sitting back and shooting open nets, and now I'm running against a wall where I realise I can't dribble and I can't aerial while everyone else can at this rank.
I'm mid plat in 1s and what helped me the most for 1s was actually playing 2s. It's gave me a solid time to get more consistent in game while having someone to back me up when I made a mistake. It's a lot less punishing and easier to not get tilted
I am d2-3 in 1s and my advice for lower ranks is work on your shooting, power and placement are the key, if you can master shooting u can get to higher ranks without learning any freestyle mechanics
@@Duncan285 this comment was from a long time ago, I am currently C3 in 1s lol. Anyway it is normal to be lower ranked in 1s, you just need to play it a lot in order to get better at it, because it's different from 2s.
rank 1s : GC2 advice : work on your movement speed/recover AND boost pads, if you have fast recover and u can easily get supersonic, then failing a shot or something else is not that bad cause u will be able to defend opponent counter attack instantly. And it will allow you to stay closer to the ball and keep pressure on opponent to don't let him play! (sorry i'm not english, i hope u'll understand what i mean)
I'm champ 3 and I'd suggest people in the lower ranks to use the backboard more. It can vary from a simple touch to the backboard, a jump, and a flip to hit it into the goal, to a cross map ceiling musty double touch.
I usually make backboard clears, but learning how to transition that into an ariel offensive move is something I should consider working on thanks for the tip.
Thanovic I just want to say thank you for taking your own time to help us develop our mechanics and positioning whenever you can. Every since I started watching you I was in gold for 2s and 3s and silver for 1s. After watching your tutorials and following you guides I started grinding 1s which was not always enjoyable but I knew that if I can stick to this I will progress since you will have a lot more time on the ball in comparison to 2s and 3s. After watching you 100 hours of flicks I realised how important of a mechanic it is and only focused on it for a couple weeks. I managed to get a lot more consistent and they were no longer becoming a fluke. I am now currently diamond 2 and 3 for all my playlists and I think I am able to push for champ 1 in given time Sorry for the long message but seriously thank you Thanovic.
I'm plat 2. The best advice I can give at this stage is: Keep your cool! In the end, everything you need to get out of gold is shadowing and a brain. If you are able to think clearly in a match, you can beat almost every lower ranked player, just because you don't play on auto pilot.
I put off doing ones, and just started last night. Started at a silver 3, but wow, not having to worry about teammates, and being able to just focus on your game is amazing. I regret never trying it before.
Im D3 and my advice for all plats that want to get to diamond is simply shoot more, go practice ur shots and also stay closer to the ball since when u go from plat to diamond if you give people as much space u ARE going to be scored on in most cases because ur defence isnt that good yet. If I could get some advice from champs I would really appreciate it)) gl guys
C2, I would say that if your diamond 3, you have the mechanics for champ but speed increases a lot in champ and your shots need to be even more powerful and more accurate. Focus a lot more on kickoffs
Yea I’m D3 and it seems all the lower ranks worry too much about free styling and think that will help them rank up, when really good flicks, dribbles and shot placement is what they should focus on
Im gc2 in 1s and my advice is learn how to play against ur enemy if he struggle in the air go for high shots if he struggle in defense steal a lot of boost end pressure him good luck everyone 🔥
For the question of the day: Im plat 2 (cringe) and if i were to give any advice, not just for ranks lower but also for myself, it would probably be to manage boost more
Peak just shy of C2 in 1s. Biggest difference maker for me is awareness, recoveries and speed. Actually looking at what the opponents intentions are at all times and having the speed on both defense and offense to capitalize on their inevitable mistakes.
I'm also champ 1 and my advice is extremely simple, but crucial to improve in any gamemode. Watch your replays and figure out what you could have done better by each goal you conceded.
answer: champ 3/grand champ. play fast, even turn off chat if you want to prevent opponents from tilting you with quick chats and don't be afraid to challenge the ball.
As a boomer RL player, I appreciate and endorse this video. 1v1 is where you can really work on control, mechanics, placement, defense... because you will get punished for EVERYTHING, yes 1v1 is incredibly tilting. Assume everyone you are going to play is better than you, is that a bad thing? Learn from the game and mistakes, improve and get creative and have fun, once you stop having fun take a break.
As a low diamond in 1s, I have 2 tips. My first one is to stay patient when you have to defend. Most times, in plat, people will go for a shot that looks cool, but in the end, there is always the moment where the shot is easy to save (example, the opponent air dribbling, with the final touch being the bottom left hand of the goal, an easy save) My second tip, more of a recommendation is to push up as soon as opponents have position, and make sure that you have the most amount of your field you can defend as possible. This way, there is more room for error. You can fake a challenge and make them panic, and then finally go for a real challenge. If it works as expected, you should have a quarter of your field left, and the ball is now in your possession
I'm diamond 1 in 1s and I'd advice people to be more cautious with their aerial commits, I see too many people going for backboard reads even though none of us are consistent at it ! Thanks for the vid
@@cameronclement1286 I feel like ranked is not the best place to get consistent with mechanics you can work on in training packs or free play. But I know what you mean, you have to go through it to get better, I’m just pointing out a situation in which people give away too many goals
i was a gold 1 div 1 yesterday, but i am a gold 3 div 1 today. I played for 4 hours straight of just ones, worked on containing my rage by not saying a word the whole time. It kept me focused, learning, and feeling better today. Don't break controllers, break your personal limits 🤯
I am Plat 3 and hands down my number 1 piece of advice would be to have patience. Many times I beat people who clearly have better mechanics than I do, but I am patient. I am not suggesting they play slow or passive. I would categorize myself as agressive. At my rank, there are lots of mistakes from both sides. I know they will happen and I take advantage of them as often as possible.
This is what I wrote so that every time I play ones, I can look at this to remember how to play better. So I thought maybe I could help you guys too. Rocket League 1v1 Tips SPACE - Don't stay across the field from opponents. - Stay somewhat close to opponent so they can't make plays, changing the probability of them punishing you. Essentially, staying near your opponent will force them to score, or defend. STEALING BOOST - Stealing boost, or starving them; can be a good way to play when playing ones. - This forces them to defend with low boost and not have boost to make a play. - Even steal the smaller boost pads. Steal boost after kickoffs, plays, and any other time you can that will not punish you. SHOT CREATIVITY - Be creative with your shots - This can be any type of shot you go for, ground plays, aerial plays, anything. This will lead to being less predictable; meaning you can catch your opponent off guard.
I really enjoy the amount of Love that goes into this channel. Focus on learning and better yourself other that focusing on the negativity that seems to plague the Rocket League community. Good on you Thanovic for your amazing videos and believing in us.
In plat in 1s High diamond and low champ for the other modes (2s/3s) my advice is not to play mechanically but try to out smart your opponent and outplay them.
I'm only D3 in 1s but my advice would be to perfect your kick off that way it will get u a ton of free goals to win games and as you rank u won't have to do then
I’m diamond in 1v1. I’ve learned to be patient when it comes to the lower ranks. You can play off of their mistakes whenever they try to flick. They often tend to lose control of the ball when dribbling. So make sure to capitalize on that. Getting better at kickoff is a good idea to. I tend to get majority of goals from kickoff. Recoveries are good too
im diamond 1 in ones and alot of gold and plat players try to learn to many mechanics and go for a lot of aerial plays which is mostly unnecessary unless you are super consistent with them, they are also easy to save most of the time
I'm gold 3 to plat 1 and what I would suggest to players below my rank is that they should focus more on doing basic rotations, making good clears and to not double commit :)
I'm D3, at one point I was one game off champ. My advice is to play against your friends if they are better than you. I have a GC1 friend and I play him most days to warm up... and sometimes I beat him, because I've adapted to a higher level of play
My MMR in casual is high enough that I play against high GC's but i'm Diamond in comp. Don't get used to it because you'll have trouble adapting to lower levels again. In my experience anyways.
QOTD: Gold 3, Slow down before you speed up. Take some time to read your situation before you act. Bronze and silvers usually have too much speed in every situation. If they would stop boosting all the time in order to fix their mistakes. They propably would have some when they need it. Usually you can beat low silvers without using boost in entire game. Just because in gold people have learned how to read bounces, 50/50 and so on much better than silvers. I played a lot of games against all star bots without boost. That helped me a lot even though it was for fun.
I am plat 3 in 1v1s and for advice for people below my rank, have confidence, go for a ball if you think you can! If you don’t think you can, there’s lots you can do like fake challenge or wait for your opponent to mess up
I’m P3/D1 in 1’s. For the players below me I would suggest to focus on higher percentage plays in ones. Play aggressive but don’t ball chase when you know you won’t get to the ball in time for a good 50. Steal all the boost you can and start learning to shadow defend earlier than I did haha
My rank in 1v1 is champion 3 and some advice I would say is to hit the ball around your opponents more, meaning don't just hit it toward their goal, try to hit it to the side and hit it unpredictably. This has scored me countless goals through my days.
i'm p2, but i suppose these tip could help for every rank. Be nice to your opponents. if you and your opponent are nice to each other you won't get tilted as quickly. Play some relaxed music, this also helps you keep your cool. This means you can get more games in without rage quitting and help you think straight better.
qotd: im p3, all i do is freestyle though because the game doesn't seem fun to me when i actually try to play smart. but i just learned a double flip reset, and this made me realize how low of a rank i am compared to my mechanics so from now on ill practice playing smart and improving my gameplay. what im saying is try to focus more on smart plays rather than going for clips until your at a higher rank, im sure you'd fly threw the ranks 5x faster then i have from fooling around. (although im proud of my air control and recovery speed so practice directional air roll and drifting as much as possible)
I'm currently D1 in 1s and never really grind it (although that is starting to change) because I found it boring. I know that not super impressive, but for anyone that is trying to learn a bunch of mechanics to rank up, it's not necessary. All that you really need are using power sliding when landing. That's really it. Everything else definitely does help, but it's not needed. Also, if you really want to win if you're silver, gold, or plat in 1s, stay calm. Stay Calm. STAY CALM. Be patient, don't go for everything. As long as you are somewhat close to your opponent, they will panic and mess up 9/10 times. Not sure how much this will help, but there you go
I'm around c3. Hit GC1 on a second account playing for fun. The main thing I notice when playing lower ranks is people not understanding when to give up on a play. Example: they miss an open goal that's rolling up the post and decide it's best to stay in the box with low boost for the chance of a goal rather than getting the boost and denying the opponent's boost. As well, lower ranked opponents neglect boost pads frequently. I watch my friend play and he sacrifices the shot/ control/ positioning in favour of boost. Main takeaway being look at the bigger picture.
Platinum 3 in 1v1s and my advice is to boost steal and not rush. Confidence does not mean always playing fast, but it does mean trusting in the practice that you put into the game. Shadow defend and keep the pressure
im d3 in 1s advice: For ranks like plat and under in 1s just try to play more consistently and confident it 100% works also what i mean by consistently is just play at you best which means warming up for like 10-30 minutes
I'm Diamond 1 in 1's. Advice: What got me from plat 1 to diamond was learning to come at your opponent if different ways, when I first started last november with no mechanics under my belt i just tended to get the ball in the goal by driving it in... This didn't always work and eventually not at all xD But the mechanics that i went into casuals/freeplay and got better where learning to dribble, getting better at 50/50's, learning how to control/catch and stay with the ball rather than pelting it up the field everytime like a ping pong ball, fast aerials (I still backflip at the most crucial of times), using the back board to set myself up for less predictable angles/shots (this would also bait a lot of people at lower plat) and different flicks. Right now im more working on consistency of all the above machanics and shots on target and from this video I need to also chuck some creativity in there too. Hope this helped :) Also don't let toxicity get the better of you and be honest about your own mistakes instead of saying "Oooh they got lucky" while proceding to then keep getting scored on. Learn from it and adapt!
I am plat 1 and what I noticed is that shooting is till gold 1 of THE most important things. U gotta aim, u gotta get power on the ball and if u know that u improve really really fast. And around gold 1 it’s really good to learn how to dribbel and shadow defense for a little bit. And further, just keep playing if u stop playing for a few days (with my experience) u play a looooot worst. That’s my piece of advice. And still 1 thing watch thanovic vids, they helped me out a LOT. So thx thanovic ly.
You’re by far my favorite rocket league youtuber, and I’m diamond 1 in ones which isn’t the best, but learning new shots is by far the easiest way to score in ones and it helped me a lot, along with watching endless amounts of your content lol
Plat 1 here. Only flip when you have to. I'm still working on this. Flips commit you to one direction for a substantial amount of time. Unnecessary flips can be your doom on defense, especially against patient opponents.
Im plat 2 Advice: enjoy the game! If u do, u can play more freeplay without getting bored but at the same time u can work on your mechanics. Try different techniques when playing ones!
I'm diamond 1 in 1s and I'd say practicing car control helped me get there more than anything, things like wave dashing whenever you can and power sliding when you land awkward to help with recoveries and stuff
Answer: Diamond 1, a tip of advice would be to, instead of going into 1s right away, go into a game if doubles or even standard to get warmed up against real players at your skill level.
QOTD: I'm plat 2 in 1s What I would say has helped me to improve most is slowing down my game play and watching my opponent. The reality is people aren't too good in the low and middle ranks and you don't have to play fast. Obviously I still have a lot to learn with this one but it is what helped me break into plat.
I’m a diamond in ones, and playing safe is a very important part in low ranks. I had struggles with that because I always wanted to air dribble or air roll when I didn’t need to trust me it helps.
I am diamond 1 div 4 in ones and for all of the people below me I'd really suggest you to stop trying to learn air dribbles, ceiling shots, double taps, flip resets ect. I've tried to learn these and I've gotten better at them but they never actually helped me to rank up. Learning these mechanics will come soon with your aerial car control. As of now work on flicks and dribbling. Speed is a factor although you have to know when to play fast and when to slow down to throw off your opponent. You should try to get really good at shadow defense. And my last bit of advice is to practice taking power shots on goal. If you can shoot a strong powershot from a bounce then you'll basically be unstoppable. Hope this helps someone
QOTD: D1 and I would say patience. You don't have to go towards the goal every single time. A lot of the time if you just go into a position where its awkward for you opponent to challenge you can make them panic leading to a good opportunity.
Im champ 1 in 1s and my advice for lower rank would be to recover quickly in every scenario. Always stay in the game even if you over commited with your shot or your 50s
i’m plat 2 and my advice to others below me is keep a good mindset if you don’t success it’s ok practice. and work on mechanics like flicks,dribbling, shot consistency and air dribble but take your time mastering your mechanics i’m not the best but imma put in the hard work to get where i want to
I'm a gold in 1v1 so one of the thinks i would say to silvers and bronzes is sometimes you just have to change your pllaystyle against every differrent oppenent.
1v1 rank: gold 3 Tip for lower ranked players: Learn banging the ball in the goal of the opponent from everywhere of the field. You can score so many goals if you can do that
I'm plat 3/d1 in 1s. I'd say that best thing to work on would be kickoffs. I was ok at them, then I found Virges video for a perfect kickoff and man... I've had times where I've come back big time just by not losing the kickoff. Next thing I would say, is be good enough in the air and the wall to use it, when needed. This will give you a hole new set of advantages if you can play from anywhere and own your opponent.
I am G3 trying to break into plat. My advice for lower ranks - keep the pressure on and work on reading the ball. Thanks for the content! Great channel!
QOTD: Diamond 1 Advice: I got out of plat once i stopped trying to 'play well' and instead focused on just making fewer mistakes than my opponents. Plats mess themselves up so much that the way to beat them is to let them mess up, but be in a good position to counter with an easy goal. Diamonds seem to be different though...
My Rank Is Diamond 1 Division. My advice is to make your plays as uncomfortable for others as possible. For Example, let's say you are dribbling and the opponent tries to shadow defend you, you go right behind him just enough that he will be nervous and not know what to do. Keep in mind that they might try to just brake to mess you up so don't be too close or too far and a little to one side in case you can't flick it and want to just pass to a side as they brake or try to block you in some way.
Plat in ones. My advice to those lower than that would be to go for the ball second during kick off. Let the opponent get first touch and hit it right after. That will lead to a lot of kick off goals
diamond 2 in 1's and plat 3 in 2s and 3s, the only advice I have for ones is be ready to counter-attack and don't attack from a front-on angle always come from a diagonal angle if you can so you can recover if you don't score
im d3 in 1s and if youre plat 1 in 1s youll find its either your defense or your offense is bad, because it doesnt matter if you can score an air dribble double tap when you cant even aerial it up to save a shot or do a simple hit to the ball when its at your net. Same for offense there is no point in saving every shot when you cant even control the ball go back on your replays and youll find its one of them
RL Duels are the most frustrating thing ever, but also do really help you improve quite a bit. As long as you can control your temper, that is. Playing while fully tilted will do you exactly 0 good. I've seen literal pros go 2-2 in a very close best of 5 series... only for one to annihilate the other with 13-3 in the last match because the (in this case) loser got tilted. Even without voice coms it was visible in all of his decisions. Granted, fact that most of the pros are mid-puberty doesn't help much with being tilt-proof, but just to show how much it can impact your plays :p
I am diamond 2 in 1v1 and my advice is to really think what you are going to do, and relax. Believe me, I keep telling myself that over and over again.
I'm gold 1 div 1 in 1v1 the advice I would give is to not think of the goal of the game is to score more goals than your opponent but to think the goal is to get scored on less than your opponent so you focus on defense and offense
I’m plat in ones and the way I finally broke out of gold was by playing unpredictable and making sure my recovery after saves and ariels was good. Also play aggressive I’m not saying ball chase but have a mentality like you are better than your opponent
Bro can you plz help me ... Im plat 3 division iv and almost diamond in 1v1 BUT in 3v3 im plat 1 and 2v2 plat 2. Am i a bad tm8 ? Or are my tm8s bad ? Because they are so bad at defense and they're ball chasers but im not a ball chaser and also not really good at defense so how can i rank up ?
@@TheGamingBrowney ok thx but maybe im just better at 1v1s because i noticed that my opponents so bad at defense and im also so good at power shots thats why i like win every game
QOTD: Plat 3/Dia 1 Don’t throw the ball away, try to keep it close to you. Doing this let’s you control the pacing of the game, cause if you play it right having the ball close to you is threat enough that if they challenge you can just make a shot, meaning they’re most of the time waiting for your touch mostly works in plat in my experience
I’m plat and not many plays know this or do it and for lower ranks but stay calm don’t freak punt when the opponent has the ball and learn dribbling on the ground and don’t go for clips every time you get the chance only go for a clip when you are at least 2 goals up and hit stuff you are comfortable with and practice new things😊 hope it helps
For my advice to lower rank players when playing 1s is for when you get heated, just take a step back an come back in an hour or so, so you can think clearly and actually get better rather than just raging across the field, also your furniture will thank you.
This is great advice!
What I do is make sure I don’t go on autopilot, I say everything im going to do before I do it and make a profile on the opponent, if they defend everything and block your shots, take advantage of their shots and use it against them. Can’t defend an open net
I agree with this. I suggest working out before playing if you are someone who easily gets tilted. Helps with reactions too in game.
"Your furniture will thank you" lmao true
see that's a great tip and all, but in the middle of a heated gamer moment you can't just leave
Answer of the day: Mid Diamond, be patient. Most of the time, your opponent will outplay themselves and leave you with an easy goal.
That also happens in high plat for those plats getting into diamond, trust me when I was high plat all I had to do was shadow and just wait

Advice to diamonds, slow down, dribble, and stop playing ping pong. You don't have to shoot every time you touch the ball😂
C2, I would say that if your diamond 3, you have the mechanics for champ but speed increases a lot in champ and your shots need to be even more powerful and more accurate. Focus a lot more on kickoffs

qotd: diamond
advice: work on consistency and ball placement
Yea I’m D3 and it seems all the lower ranks worry too much about free styling and think that will help them rank up, when really good flicks, dribbles and shot placement is what they should focus on
D1 here, the sauce is key
The sauce. The best
Man, I love your content. Editing and ideas are unmatched, keep up the great work!
Im gc2 in 1s and my advice is learn how to play against ur enemy if he struggle in the air go for high shots if he struggle in defense steal a lot of boost end pressure him good luck everyone 🔥
For the question of the day:
Im plat 2 (cringe)
and if i were to give any advice, not just for ranks lower but also for myself, it would probably be to manage boost more
And use the backboard more
Peak just shy of C2 in 1s. Biggest difference maker for me is awareness, recoveries and speed. Actually looking at what the opponents intentions are at all times and having the speed on both defense and offense to capitalize on their inevitable mistakes.
Rank: champ 1
Advice: remember that you’re playing ones to improve, try to figure out where you’re making mistakes and try to correct them mid game
I'm also champ 1 and my advice is extremely simple, but crucial to improve in any gamemode. Watch your replays and figure out what you could have done better by each goal you conceded.
Best comment on here
Yes you shouldn’t worry about your mmr/rank, as if you improve your rank will go up anyway
Thanks thanovic I just got bronze from your video I’m glad that I ranked up’d! 🖤🖤🐐
💪🏽🖤
answer: champ 3/grand champ. play fast, even turn off chat if you want to prevent opponents from tilting you with quick chats and don't be afraid to challenge the ball.
As a boomer RL player, I appreciate and endorse this video. 1v1 is where you can really work on control, mechanics, placement, defense... because you will get punished for EVERYTHING, yes 1v1 is incredibly tilting. Assume everyone you are going to play is better than you, is that a bad thing? Learn from the game and mistakes, improve and get creative and have fun, once you stop having fun take a break.
As a low diamond in 1s, I have 2 tips. My first one is to stay patient when you have to defend. Most times, in plat, people will go for a shot that looks cool, but in the end, there is always the moment where the shot is easy to save (example, the opponent air dribbling, with the final touch being the bottom left hand of the goal, an easy save)
My second tip, more of a recommendation is to push up as soon as opponents have position, and make sure that you have the most amount of your field you can defend as possible. This way, there is more room for error. You can fake a challenge and make them panic, and then finally go for a real challenge. If it works as expected, you should have a quarter of your field left, and the ball is now in your possession
I'm d2 and my tips would be to learn shadow defense and capitalize on the opponent's mistakes.
I'm diamond 1 in 1s and I'd advice people to be more cautious with their aerial commits, I see too many people going for backboard reads even though none of us are consistent at it ! Thanks for the vid
Well how do u get consistent
@@cameronclement1286 I feel like ranked is not the best place to get consistent with mechanics you can work on in training packs or free play. But I know what you mean, you have to go through it to get better, I’m just pointing out a situation in which people give away too many goals
i was a gold 1 div 1 yesterday, but i am a gold 3 div 1 today. I played for 4 hours straight of just ones, worked on containing my rage by not saying a word the whole time. It kept me focused, learning, and feeling better today. Don't break controllers, break your personal limits 🤯
I am Plat 3 and hands down my number 1 piece of advice would be to have patience. Many times I beat people who clearly have better mechanics than I do, but I am patient. I am not suggesting they play slow or passive. I would categorize myself as agressive. At my rank, there are lots of mistakes from both sides. I know they will happen and I take advantage of them as often as possible.
Is it just me or does Thanovic have a great voice for a podcast?
Absolutely
not that he doesn’t have a nice voice, but his microphone quality and settings definitely helps that
This is what I wrote so that every time I play ones, I can look at this to remember how to play better. So I thought maybe I could help you guys too.
Rocket League 1v1 Tips
SPACE
- Don't stay across the field from opponents.
- Stay somewhat close to opponent so they can't make plays, changing the probability of them punishing you.
Essentially, staying near your opponent will force them to score, or defend.
STEALING BOOST
- Stealing boost, or starving them; can be a good way to play when playing ones.
- This forces them to defend with low boost and not have boost to make a play.
- Even steal the smaller boost pads.
Steal boost after kickoffs, plays, and any other time you can that will not punish you.
SHOT CREATIVITY
- Be creative with your shots
- This can be any type of shot you go for, ground plays, aerial plays, anything.
This will lead to being less predictable; meaning you can catch your opponent off guard.
Thanks
@@tyler-dmc920 np
this vid rlly helped me i went from g2 to p3 in 1s
I really enjoy the amount of Love that goes into this channel. Focus on learning and better yourself other that focusing on the negativity that seems to plague the Rocket League community. Good on you Thanovic for your amazing videos and believing in us.
I'm plat 2 and my advice would be to not throw when you're losing by a bit and when you lose a game, your just going to get worse and play worse
C2 - boost pathing and precise air roll shots (workshop aim trainer)
Do you have any specific packs for the air roll shots please?
could you tell me what u use for the aim trainer? what training/workshop packs?
In plat in 1s High diamond and low champ for the other modes (2s/3s) my advice is not to play mechanically but try to out smart your opponent and outplay them.
I'm only D3 in 1s but my advice would be to perfect your kick off that way it will get u a ton of free goals to win games and as you rank u won't have to do then
I’m diamond in 1v1. I’ve learned to be patient when it comes to the lower ranks. You can play off of their mistakes whenever they try to flick. They often tend to lose control of the ball when dribbling. So make sure to capitalize on that. Getting better at kickoff is a good idea to. I tend to get majority of goals from kickoff. Recoveries are good too
he is teaching me more than my school teachers.
It's mot like your teachers teach you car soccer
@@muhammadziqry6022 yeah but im learning nothing from my school teachers
Your English teachers clearly aren’t doing the greatest
@@tyfardy7502 for real xDD
@@tyfardy7502 lmaoooo
im diamond 1 in ones and alot of gold and plat players try to learn to many mechanics and go for a lot of aerial plays which is mostly unnecessary unless you are super consistent with them, they are also easy to save most of the time
you should play against evample and both be in the same voice call.
Rank: Diamond 2
Advice: Change up your kickoffs if you find yourself constantly losing them
I'm gold 3 to plat 1 and what I would suggest to players below my rank is that they should focus more on doing basic rotations, making good clears and to not double commit :)
I’m silver, my best advice is when you get for the ball always go for a triple flip reset musty double tap on 0 boost
Thank you for the good video, I feel more confident now that I know I should stay close to the ball at all times, and it is working.
I'm D3, at one point I was one game off champ.
My advice is to play against your friends if they are better than you. I have a GC1 friend and I play him most days to warm up... and sometimes I beat him, because I've adapted to a higher level of play
My MMR in casual is high enough that I play against high GC's but i'm Diamond in comp. Don't get used to it because you'll have trouble adapting to lower levels again. In my experience anyways.
QOTD:
Gold 3, Slow down before you speed up. Take some time to read your situation before you act. Bronze and silvers usually have too much speed in every situation. If they would stop boosting all the time in order to fix their mistakes. They propably would have some when they need it.
Usually you can beat low silvers without using boost in entire game. Just because in gold people have learned how to read bounces, 50/50 and so on much better than silvers. I played a lot of games against all star bots without boost. That helped me a lot even though it was for fun.
I am plat 3 in 1v1s and for advice for people below my rank, have confidence, go for a ball if you think you can! If you don’t think you can, there’s lots you can do like fake challenge or wait for your opponent to mess up
QOTD: Im c1 in 1s and my advice would be to use bounce dribbles more often, they are normally unpredictable and hard to defend
I’m P3/D1 in 1’s. For the players below me I would suggest to focus on higher percentage plays in ones. Play aggressive but don’t ball chase when you know you won’t get to the ball in time for a good 50. Steal all the boost you can and start learning to shadow defend earlier than I did haha
My rank in 1v1 is champion 3 and some advice I would say is to hit the ball around your opponents more, meaning don't just hit it toward their goal, try to hit it to the side and hit it unpredictably. This has scored me countless goals through my days.
i'm p2, but i suppose these tip could help for every rank.
Be nice to your opponents. if you and your opponent are nice to each other you won't get tilted as quickly.
Play some relaxed music, this also helps you keep your cool.
This means you can get more games in without rage quitting and help you think straight better.
i have this problem where i punch everything in sight lol
qotd: im p3, all i do is freestyle though because the game doesn't seem fun to me when i actually try to play smart. but i just learned a double flip reset, and this made me realize how low of a rank i am compared to my mechanics so from now on ill practice playing smart and improving my gameplay.
what im saying is try to focus more on smart plays rather than going for clips until your at a higher rank, im sure you'd fly threw the ranks 5x faster then i have from fooling around. (although im proud of my air control and recovery speed so practice directional air roll and drifting as much as possible)
I'm currently D1 in 1s and never really grind it (although that is starting to change) because I found it boring. I know that not super impressive, but for anyone that is trying to learn a bunch of mechanics to rank up, it's not necessary. All that you really need are using power sliding when landing. That's really it. Everything else definitely does help, but it's not needed. Also, if you really want to win if you're silver, gold, or plat in 1s, stay calm. Stay Calm. STAY CALM. Be patient, don't go for everything. As long as you are somewhat close to your opponent, they will panic and mess up 9/10 times. Not sure how much this will help, but there you go
I'm around c3. Hit GC1 on a second account playing for fun. The main thing I notice when playing lower ranks is people not understanding when to give up on a play. Example: they miss an open goal that's rolling up the post and decide it's best to stay in the box with low boost for the chance of a goal rather than getting the boost and denying the opponent's boost. As well, lower ranked opponents neglect boost pads frequently. I watch my friend play and he sacrifices the shot/ control/ positioning in favour of boost. Main takeaway being look at the bigger picture.
Platinum 3 in 1v1s and my advice is to boost steal and not rush. Confidence does not mean always playing fast, but it does mean trusting in the practice that you put into the game. Shadow defend and keep the pressure
im d3 in 1s
advice: For ranks like plat and under in 1s just try to play more consistently and confident it 100% works also what i mean by consistently is just play at you best which means warming up for like 10-30 minutes
Love the vids these are seriously so helpful, what trail are you using btw?
I'm Diamond 1 in 1's.
Advice: What got me from plat 1 to diamond was learning to come at your opponent if different ways, when I first started last november with no mechanics under my belt i just tended to get the ball in the goal by driving it in... This didn't always work and eventually not at all xD But the mechanics that i went into casuals/freeplay and got better where learning to dribble, getting better at 50/50's, learning how to control/catch and stay with the ball rather than pelting it up the field everytime like a ping pong ball, fast aerials (I still backflip at the most crucial of times), using the back board to set myself up for less predictable angles/shots (this would also bait a lot of people at lower plat) and different flicks. Right now im more working on consistency of all the above machanics and shots on target and from this video I need to also chuck some creativity in there too. Hope this helped :)
Also don't let toxicity get the better of you and be honest about your own mistakes instead of saying "Oooh they got lucky" while proceding to then keep getting scored on. Learn from it and adapt!
I am plat 1 and what I noticed is that shooting is till gold 1 of THE most important things.
U gotta aim, u gotta get power on the ball and if u know that u improve really really fast.
And around gold 1 it’s really good to learn how to dribbel and shadow defense for a little bit.
And further, just keep playing if u stop playing for a few days (with my experience) u play a looooot worst.
That’s my piece of advice.
And still 1 thing watch thanovic vids, they helped me out a LOT.
So thx thanovic ly.
You’re by far my favorite rocket league youtuber, and I’m diamond 1 in ones which isn’t the best, but learning new shots is by far the easiest way to score in ones and it helped me a lot, along with watching endless amounts of your content lol
Plat 1 here. Only flip when you have to. I'm still working on this. Flips commit you to one direction for a substantial amount of time. Unnecessary flips can be your doom on defense, especially against patient opponents.
Im plat 2
Advice: enjoy the game! If u do, u can play more freeplay without getting bored but at the same time u can work on your mechanics. Try different techniques when playing ones!
I'm diamond 1 in 1s and I'd say practicing car control helped me get there more than anything, things like wave dashing whenever you can and power sliding when you land awkward to help with recoveries and stuff
Watching this guy made me get to C2 in 600 hours now my favorite rocket league youtuber
Answer: Diamond 1, a tip of advice would be to, instead of going into 1s right away, go into a game if doubles or even standard to get warmed up against real players at your skill level.
QOTD:
I'm plat 2 in 1s
What I would say has helped me to improve most is slowing down my game play and watching my opponent. The reality is people aren't too good in the low and middle ranks and you don't have to play fast. Obviously I still have a lot to learn with this one but it is what helped me break into plat.
Was a lot of fun :) That reset breezi on Lunaris was nasty!
I am C1 in 1s. My tip, focus on these 5 things: basic dribbles, consistent kickoff, *good first touch* , fake challenging and finally shadow defense.
I’m a diamond in ones, and playing safe is a very important part in low ranks. I had struggles with that because I always wanted to air dribble or air roll when I didn’t need to trust me it helps.
I am diamond 1 div 4 in ones and for all of the people below me I'd really suggest you to stop trying to learn air dribbles, ceiling shots, double taps, flip resets ect. I've tried to learn these and I've gotten better at them but they never actually helped me to rank up. Learning these mechanics will come soon with your aerial car control. As of now work on flicks and dribbling. Speed is a factor although you have to know when to play fast and when to slow down to throw off your opponent. You should try to get really good at shadow defense. And my last bit of advice is to practice taking power shots on goal. If you can shoot a strong powershot from a bounce then you'll basically be unstoppable. Hope this helps someone

thanodaddy be drippin
I'm Unranked in 1v1.
And my advice for players to my rank is to by ranked !
Good luck !
QOTD: D1 and I would say patience. You don't have to go towards the goal every single time. A lot of the time if you just go into a position where its awkward for you opponent to challenge you can make them panic leading to a good opportunity.
Im champ 1 in 1s and my advice for lower rank would be to recover quickly in every scenario. Always stay in the game even if you over commited with your shot or your 50s
I’m Diamond 2, I recommend working on a solid diagonal flip kickoff. As soon as I did, I went up 2 ranks.
i’m plat 2 and my advice to others below me is keep a good mindset if you don’t success it’s ok practice. and work on mechanics like flicks,dribbling, shot consistency and air dribble but take your time mastering your mechanics i’m not the best but imma put in the hard work to get where i want to
I'm a gold in 1v1 so one of the thinks i would say to silvers and bronzes is sometimes you just have to change your pllaystyle against every differrent oppenent.
I am a diamond 2 division 1 in 1s. Some advice is to work on recoveries and ariel mechanics. Also learn to 45 degree flick and some flicks like that.
1v1 rank: gold 3
Tip for lower ranked players: Learn banging the ball in the goal of the opponent from everywhere of the field. You can score so many goals if you can do that
I'm plat 3/d1 in 1s. I'd say that best thing to work on would be kickoffs. I was ok at them, then I found Virges video for a perfect kickoff and man... I've had times where I've come back big time just by not losing the kickoff. Next thing I would say, is be good enough in the air and the wall to use it, when needed. This will give you a hole new set of advantages if you can play from anywhere and own your opponent.
I am G3 trying to break into plat. My advice for lower ranks - keep the pressure on and work on reading the ball. Thanks for the content! Great channel!
QOTD: Diamond 1
Advice: I got out of plat once i stopped trying to 'play well' and instead focused on just making fewer mistakes than my opponents. Plats mess themselves up so much that the way to beat them is to let them mess up, but be in a good position to counter with an easy goal. Diamonds seem to be different though...
My Rank Is Diamond 1 Division. My advice is to make your plays as uncomfortable for others as possible.
For Example, let's say you are dribbling and the opponent tries to shadow defend you, you go right behind him just enough that he will be nervous and not know what to do. Keep in mind that they might try to just brake to mess you up so don't be too close or too far and a little to one side in case you can't flick it and want to just pass to a side as they brake or try to block you in some way.
Amazing video Thanovic ❤️❤️
Plat in ones. My advice to those lower than that would be to go for the ball second during kick off. Let the opponent get first touch and hit it right after. That will lead to a lot of kick off goals
i’m in this at 4:26 pog i’m only gold lol
nice save there
@@yaeger_1779 ty
Eyyy gold homie 😝
diamond 2 in 1's and plat 3 in 2s and 3s, the only advice I have for ones is be ready to counter-attack and don't attack from a front-on angle always come from a diagonal angle if you can so you can recover if you don't score
Im plat 3 in all Playlists and advice i give is, dont think you are the best or "super" good and dont focus on "fancy" stuff :)
im d3 in 1s and if youre plat 1 in 1s youll find its either your defense or your offense is bad, because it doesnt matter if you can score an air dribble double tap when you cant even aerial it up to save a shot or do a simple hit to the ball when its at your net. Same for offense there is no point in saving every shot when you cant even control the ball go back on your replays and youll find its one of them
This really helped because I was playing 1v1 and didn't know what I was doing wrong, so this really helped thank you!
RL Duels are the most frustrating thing ever, but also do really help you improve quite a bit. As long as you can control your temper, that is. Playing while fully tilted will do you exactly 0 good. I've seen literal pros go 2-2 in a very close best of 5 series... only for one to annihilate the other with 13-3 in the last match because the (in this case) loser got tilted. Even without voice coms it was visible in all of his decisions. Granted, fact that most of the pros are mid-puberty doesn't help much with being tilt-proof, but just to show how much it can impact your plays :p
I am diamond 2 in 1v1 and my advice is to really think what you are going to do, and relax. Believe me, I keep telling myself that over and over again.
I'm gold 1 div 1 in 1v1 the advice I would give is to not think of the goal of the game is to score more goals than your opponent but to think the goal is to get scored on less than your opponent so you focus on defense and offense
Just hit my first clean air dribble in training
Wouldnt have been able to Improve this fast without this channel
Keep up the good work Thanovic😁
I’m plat in ones and the way I finally broke out of gold was by playing unpredictable and making sure my recovery after saves and ariels was good. Also play aggressive I’m not saying ball chase but have a mentality like you are better than your opponent
Bro can you plz help me ... Im plat 3 division iv and almost diamond in 1v1 BUT in 3v3 im plat 1 and 2v2 plat 2. Am i a bad tm8 ? Or are my tm8s bad ? Because they are so bad at defense and they're ball chasers but im not a ball chaser and also not really good at defense so how can i rank up ?
@@bigsmoke1295 you are better than me also never blame your teammates your rank is your rank
@@TheGamingBrowney ok thx but maybe im just better at 1v1s because i noticed that my opponents so bad at defense and im also so good at power shots thats why i like win every game
QOTD: Plat 3/Dia 1
Don’t throw the ball away, try to keep it close to you. Doing this let’s you control the pacing of the game, cause if you play it right having the ball close to you is threat enough that if they challenge you can just make a shot, meaning they’re most of the time waiting for your touch
mostly works in plat in my experience
I’m plat and not many plays know this or do it and for lower ranks but stay calm don’t freak punt when the opponent has the ball and learn dribbling on the ground and don’t go for clips every time you get the chance only go for a clip when you are at least 2 goals up and hit stuff you are comfortable with and practice new things😊 hope it helps
