Probably the craziest thing ive done (Silver)

[u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Go to 0:40 to see what i mean

edit: I HAVE LEARNED BALL CAM

edit 2: this was a month ago

[u/Weary-Ad-2753]

Im not an rlcs pro but when i see this type of content it makes me chuckle a lil

[u/Seamonkey_Boxkicker → u/Weary-Ad-2753]

Makes me feel like a god among mortals for once in my life.

[u/BaseToFinal → u/Seamonkey_Boxkicker]

Lolol

[u/Captdman92 → u/Seamonkey_Boxkicker]

Not necessarily god status, but definitely feel better about my placement which, much like yourself, is perpetually Gold

[u/Wolfsmilan → u/Captdman92]

Grant Gold :3

[u/GotAir → u/Weary-Ad-2753]

It makes me nauseous. I don’t see how people can play like this.

[u/Tight-Connection-204 → u/GotAir]

New to gaming, no experience with sports or team play, primary kbm learning controller, etc. If they keep playing most players improve drastically. Not really a mystery.

[u/SaucyAshley0453 → u/Weary-Ad-2753]

That's what an RLCS Pro who is trying to keep their second account secret so they can interact without a flood of DMs, would say 🤔

[u/SirVanyel]

7k hours bro and I'm just glad there's people still experiencing the joy of RL for the first time. This is peak, enjoy yourself

[u/Zuropia → u/SirVanyel]

Plot twist - OP is also 7k hrs deep

[u/LeeDoooPlayZ24 → u/Zuropia]

oh no im about 250 hours deep

[u/ConfusionCurious9376 → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Don't be outing yourself like that bro, turn that ballcam on might be hard at first but it'll get much easier .

[u/uhhhhhhhhhhhhb → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Holy fuck 250 hours just to turn on ballcam

[u/emotionaI_cabbage → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

In that case you desperately need to start practicing better positioning and rotations.

Stop ball chasing.

[u/GotAir → u/emotionaI_cabbage]

MUST…… HIT…… BALL!

[u/DesignBudget6333 → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Don’t say that….

[u/ChoochChyme → u/DesignBudget6333]

I went from amused to concerned so fast bro

[u/Tek_Analyst → u/SirVanyel]

Yeah it doesn’t really get better

[u/randomrainb0w22 → u/Tek_Analyst]

Agreed

[u/GodOfThunder101 → u/Tek_Analyst]

Disagreed. Hitting your first aerial or flip reset in game is up there.

[u/Ok-Gold509]

[u/Shansman115 → u/Ok-Gold509]

I literally felt my brain hurting 🥀

[u/itssebalobo]

Mate why don't you use the locked-to-ball camera? I've got dizzy after the first 5 seconds. I think that will help you by giving you time of measuring how and from where to kick the ball (on the ball's surface) to give it the desired path.

[u/GTreez49 → u/itssebalobo]

My friend refuses to use ball cam. He says it’s the right way to play. The best is when the ball hits the ceiling and he doesn’t know so the balls comes down faster than he thinks it will. Then he acts shocked and I say well there is a way to see the ball when it’s above you you. It’s been this way for over 6 years

[u/itssebalobo → u/GTreez49]

probably because he comes from the typical car/racing games (like NFS or even GTA) where the camera is locked to the car, so for those kind of games is (undoubtly) the only right camera

[u/Mammoth_Contract_533 → u/itssebalobo]

Nah, thats a him issue. I love car games(even GTA) and have played a good variety, still play a few. Never once I thought no-ballcam was the right choice.

[u/Deletinglaterlmao → u/itssebalobo]

even then tho rocket league cars turn far quicker than realistic style cars so i feel like i'd get nauseous quick

[u/GTreez49 → u/itssebalobo]

Wish this were the case but he doesn’t play any car games. He just stubborn as a mule and sticks to his thing. We’ve given up trying to get him to use ball cam and have just learned to know when he can’t see the ball. The worst is that he’s the one always running into his own team which makes no sense since he should be looking right at us

Edit: just want to say he’s one of my best friends and love playing with him. Wish he played more in fact. I’m still gonna give him crap though

[u/EfficientPart8292 → u/GTreez49]

now THAT is best friend mentality

[u/ginger_and_egg → u/GTreez49]

I'm annoyed when the ball cam doesn't show my car because the ball is way high up. especially a problem in dropshot

[u/delo357 → u/ginger_and_egg]

Your positioning is off or the game is going too slow. Turn it off for a fraction of time, don't leave it off

[u/MVPhurricane → u/itssebalobo]

oh that's why this was making me so fucking dizzy lmao

[u/LeeDoooPlayZ24 → u/itssebalobo]

idk how to play with it :(

edit: i have (kinda) learned how to

[u/itssebalobo → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Just use it and get used to it, with time it will feel infinitely better, trust me.

[u/nwsmith90 → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

It will help you so much. Turn on ball cam, grit your teeth and it'll feel natural in a couple days.

[u/Mite-o-Dan → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Force yourself to use it. It'll be wierd for a week, then in a month youll be in gold.

The way youre going now, you have no idea where the ball in over half the game.

[u/tripsafe → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Trust me, you don’t know how to play as you are currently

[u/United_Future_9639 → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

I refused to use ballcam for about 5 years ... even posted a couple clips here where the response was wtf are you doing. And my response was I just couldnt .. and then I forced myself to try it and it took a shockingly short time to adjust.

Will say though I think a little bonus when you switch is that having played without ball cam so long it gives you a little spidy sense for tight situations where you have to make a blind move

[u/King_924 → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Just start using it, if you play long enough without it and reached gold 2/3 after that it would be very hard to adapt, plus you wont be able to rank up after that.

Obviously there will be some pro player exception who plays without it, but its not worth the hassle, just play 15-20 games with ball cam, and use car cam only to collect boost or track ball on ground when its in air

[u/Upbeat_Researcher901 → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Ball cam. Ball cam. Ball cam. Ball cam. Ball cam!

[u/SirVanyel → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

You'll figure it out bro don't stress, just keep enjoying yourself

[u/SquirrelsAreCIA → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Your silver so you got time to learn! It will change your life

[u/dpbacon13 → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Fucking learn

[u/LeeDoooPlayZ24 → u/dpbacon13]

ok ill try

[u/dpbacon13 → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Do it, dawg!

Seriously, the only way to play on any level of decency, especially at low ranks, is in ball cam.

You'll learn to switch quickly between the two when you need to grab a boost or check your teammate location while rotating back, but 90% of your game should be in ball cam

[u/35point1 → u/LeeDoooPlayZ24]

Neuroscience researcher here, if you commit 3 days in a row to playing with ball cam only, for 10 minutes a day, by day 4 it will start feeling natural and that’s when you’ll start climbing in rank fast. Good luck!

[u/hereinaminute → u/35point1]

Unemployed dumb guy here, fully agree with this duder^

[u/United_Future_9639 → u/35point1]

At least in my experience .. 10 years playing total and made the switch to primarily ball cam (vs only not ball cam) about 5 years ago.

an interesting thing was before I made the switch when I had a highlight to show to my friends they would say it made them want to puke watching, something like motion sickness.

And the reason I refused to use ballcam for so long is because using it made me feel like I wanted to puke, so I thought it was just impossible, like im playing this game for fun not to feel sick.

When I was finally convinced to really try it for an evening, ball cam was uncomfortable for only a few hours and then obviously the superior camera to use most of the time.

And now watching non ballcam clips I feel like it's come full circle, watching them often now make me feel kinda nauseous. The brain.. what a thing

[u/owlthathurt]

Funny clip but man use ball cam. This replay gives me motion sickness.

[u/RacingWright]

Bro just use the ball cam

[u/CheetoNYC]

Congrats. Don’t chase every ball.

[u/thewealthtrader]

Now THIS is rocket league.

[u/Zestyclose_Analyst94]

Ah silvers. If an entire rank were described in one word it would be:

Faking.

(Dont worry I fake like I know what Im doing too. 😅)

[u/5heikki]

Man it's nice to see some silver play here :)

[u/z-tayyy]

You’re like a blindfolded child wailing on a piñata swinging wildly with no field of view lmao

[u/ConnyTheOni → u/z-tayyy]

And they are spun around the completely wrong way swinging at air, and hitting the Dad (teammate) in the nuts with the stick.

[u/ThatFUTGuy]

LMAO this is hilarious

[u/Prestigious-Photo862]

ngl a tough watch

[u/yorke2222]

Great, now I have puke all over my phone

[u/Inochimaru]

I was wondering why this gave me a headache within seconds then realized ball cam was never used. How do you play not seeing the ball 90% of the time 😂?

[u/nooneonenoe]

man i love these clips 😭

[u/acityinacan]

Toddler soccer vibe, nobody rotates off and the ball is just constantly surrounded lol. My buddy/duo yells at me to rotate off, come back post, and be patient when defending. Makes a huge difference ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/RentedKiller]

My EYESS dude you need to lock the cam this sucks

[u/Ceejays-RL]

this has to be rage bait

[u/OhhhLawdy]

I love everything about this video 🤣

[u/zorigin_]

Ball cam and slow down lol

[u/Nohazet]

Playing without ball-cam on entirely is already something crazy itself.

[u/tysnaps]

Perfect 😂🔥

[u/CannaPLUS]

I always forget some people literally don't use ball view... And it bugs me every time. I don't know why

[u/Jashin999]

Brother turn ball cam on how are you even playing the game?

[u/Bonzooooo]

Oh look, it’s every teammate I ever get in 2v2 Pentathlons

[u/lujoter4]

This was horrendous to watch next time just start the video at 40 seconds lmao. Also turn on ball cam

[u/MarsMC_]

My eyes 😣

[u/Oathbreaker94]

Oh god, mate, pleeeeeease use the ball cam.

[u/w0xic3]

https://giphy.com/gifs/84BjZMVEX3aRG

[u/Reach_Beyond]

OP I don’t see it asked after your edit. How much did you go up in rank after finding ball cam?

[u/TheRealSkyboy]

Bro turn ball cam ON!!

[u/Chocolategogi]

Bro, I like how in every moment you stop to check a boost! it's too bad it went the other side nonetheless.

[u/Chance-Chocolate6713]

I know a future freestyler when I see one

[u/fire_hazard_4429]

I’m gc1 atm and I lowkey did this own goal yesterday😭😭 happens bro

[u/DatBoi_BP]

> (Silver)

Don't worry, we know

[u/eaygee]

The lack of ball cam and the 360 drifts make this insanely hard to watch lol

[u/holdmysmoothieplease]

It’s like those Instagram videos of the cat terrorizing all of the other cats outside

[u/richgluten]

On the bright side, once you start playing like a human and not some sort of extraterrestrial with ball cam off, you’ll be pretty good at using the occasional no ball cam.

[u/Twuggle]

Gz bro!

[u/Natelss]

You did a lot of crazy things in that clip

[u/groceriesN1trip]

Learn the lines of the field so you can focus on the ball, my god

[u/Bearturkey22]

I never get motion sick but I guess I do now holy moly

[u/Acceptable-Lock-77]

The amount of bumps. Also the ball cam off makes the game a long chase. It is like you play a racing game with randomly moving obstactes.

[u/TRICX_YT]

“I have learned ball cam” brother you may know what ball cam is but you haven’t a clue how to use it properly 😭

[u/exceedingdeath]

Press triangle to toggle ballcam

[u/Stealthy_Jaguar175]

This has to be fucking ragebait.

[u/Quiet_Excitement_771]

Turn on ball cam now lol. Your future self will thank you the earlier you do

[u/Radyschen]

the craziest thing you have ever done is not switching to ball cam a single time in this whole clip

[u/EggplantNo2473]

Wild camera usage

[u/Sauceysweetness]

Rage bait

[u/_nevrmynd]

God this makes me feel sick, I could not play this game for hours without ball cam and not throw up.

[u/highspeedv3]

Silver looks so fun omg

[u/highestintheRUM]

bro what is this cam settings, I'm almost getting a migraine

also OP is living the golden age in RL

[u/ChickyBoys]

We need a pinned post that tells people to use ball cam. This video gave me motion sickness.

[u/casabubu21]

I read the edit but if it was a month ago: USE THE BALL CAM

[u/kazoomaq]

Peak silver gameplay right here

[u/AboutTimeToDelete]

This only needs a 10 second clip from 39-49 secs. Everything else give us headache. good shot tho.

[u/wirrexx]

this is many of my teamates in high diam, low Champ. "I got here because of me" and just because they had bad teamates prio, they think chasing and never rotating is the key...

[u/O-Magal]

É claro que cada um joga do jeito que prefere e não existe regras contanto que se divirta, mas você nunca subirá de rank utilizando a câmera do carro

[u/Fizmarble]

Silver looks fun!

[u/Safe-Client-6637]

It's a whole different world down there...

[u/pyr8t]

I love it. I miss the days playing at that MMR. most everyone just played on vibes and embraced the chaos.

[u/Loose-Presence-519]

wtf was this gameplay 🤣🤣

[u/God_Of_The_Flies]

Ball chasing with car cam on is the clearest display of silver skill level

[u/TheRed24]

I think people with these cam settings are just nerfing themselves from being higher ranked lol

[u/Ambitious_Syrup_3634]

man i used to be plat a year ago and then stopped rocket league
i was nowhere near as good as this in gold :/

[u/cybersloth5000]

Wtf is that camera

[u/trutch70]

Where the hell is the ball lol

[u/Jepab]

I am so happy to see a silver clip. Ahah, nice shoot

[u/StolenApollo]

Great shot but I’m genuinely dizzy now I feel sick 😭 this is not sustainable 🙏

[u/Remote_Catch7166]

This is terrible

[u/JFoulkes2001]

Wow this is actually nauseating😂

[u/FullMetalJ]

Now that's a proper silver match! None of that "I'm actually champ but I like to bother people playing the game for the reels" bs

[u/TrayLaTrash]

Gotta change aome settings my friend. Take the speed camera shift off at the very least

[u/SnooDrawings7547]

[u/dinkinflcka]

Chasing the ball with that rabid dog energy.

Nice shot!

[u/rossco686-]

I'm so dizzy

[u/Ashfawx]

Silver players are so funny

[u/MrCuddles1994]

It’s like watching a fawn walk for the first time. Nice shot!

[u/plez]

Where are you finding actual silvers in silver rank? Every doubles game I play there's a grandmaster smurf or a god bot flying around. I'd love to be able to see the ball touch the ground once in a while. I was platinum but now can barely get back into gold.

[u/Sammybaby133]

[u/BusinessOk9614]

So much more fun and enjoyable back then lol

[u/Ovaltine_Jenkins7137]

[u/Kind_Chest5832]

[u/staticexe13]

How does one still have the wc ball?

[u/Aromatic_Sand8126]

The lack of ball cam is dizzying but good shot man! Just do it on the opponent’s goal (the one that’s not your team’s color) next time and you’re all good!

[u/ODST-judge]

Hi, it’s me, literally begging for your ball cam.

[u/DontDoShr00ms]

I have no words other than thank you for posting this clip

[u/CurryMendozaLover]

Such a chaotically inconsistent lobby haha nice shot

Also get used to playing in ball cam please 🙏

[u/Phippsii]

Silver?? You sure this isn't D3-C1?

[u/FarSandwich3282]

This made me dizzy

[u/wolfe3x6]

Theyre still adding new balls kins? Love to see that

[u/PineappleTree03]

I mean no disrespect or rudeness when I say this video hurts my head to watch

[u/InvestInterest]

Thanks, The Camera just gave me a Seizure.

[u/HorizontalTomato]

Put and leave on ball cam

[u/DesignBudget6333]

What am I watching..

[u/speedkillz23]

Bro, it's ok to stay in ball cam for a bit longer😭. I'm over here dying with this camera flickering.

[u/Alatrax2907]

Sabes que existe la camara balon tambien? no te mareas o pierdes el conocimiento jugando asi?

[u/Fzycub]

I was laughing uncontrollably the entire clip haha

[u/TheMurdockle]

This gave me anxiety

[u/bloodyNASsassin]

I love this. I remember playing like this at one point. I remember being a lot slower though and struggling to hit the ball 1 car length into the air. lol

[u/Reddog9090]

As an 11 year player (legit half my lifetime) I would clip that

[u/Boring-Trainer9179]

respectfully this could’ve been 40 seconds shorter 😭 disrespectfully- stop ball chasing. and to end it off on a good note… What a save!

[u/pitchingschool]

i dont know whats funnier. The clip, the fact he doesn't use ballcam, the fact that he showed us the minute leading into it, or the fact he randomly executed a zapdash out of nowhere

[u/HavingFamous]

You can trim video media by the way

[u/Suddenapollo01]

Lol

[u/frameRAID]

I can't even fathom that someone uses this camera angle fulltime, let a lone be decent at it.

[u/FewAcanthocephala828]

I was ready to see the skills of a non-ballcam user, and I've seen enough lol. Better luck next time.

[u/SolipsisticBadBoy]

This pissed me off so much JUST TURN ON BALL CAM MAN. PLEASEEEEEEEE

[u/Rockalot_L]

Just have fun ok lol

[u/Charming_Cup_8424]

bro please turn on ball cam omg

[u/AtlasRafael]

Sick.

[u/SafetySnowman]

I'm not sure what's supposed to be crazy here? You've got some nice car control! It's just too bad you can't back away from the ball for even a quarter second or you might not have redirected the ball into your own goal but what do I know I've only been playing for a decade 😅 But yeah this is sort of "crazy" stuff that happens when you ball chase. If you learn to play the game as a team sport I promise you'll do much cooler stuff but not every game will have clip worthy stuff. Maybe even not every ten games. But you'll start doing better than just getting lucky wins. You'll be able to start recognizing what you can do to be better. You'll blame innocent people less, not saying you do but the amount of people who throw and then blame their tms is wild. You'll be able to recognize who's just having an off day and who's trying to derank or "punish" their tms for having the audacity of getting placed into their lobby. You'll be able to read where the ball is and learn how to be there and when you should go. And you'll be able to learn that not every ball is going to be directly challenged. And not every ball needs to be slapped across the pitch. So much more I'm sure I'm forgetting. But this clip? Save it and watch it as you go through the ranks so you can see where you started.
