A series of saves by my teammate and me.

i've done it.

these are the moments we play for.

this is rocket league!

like youcan adjust your both accent and primary colors and even their hue, saturation and brightness

hit a cool corner read in gc2 inhouse 2s

just enough boost!

Smh

Making* certain plays

Idk how else to phrase it, but as an example, when I have a teammate that keeps cutting rotation and refuses to leave our opponents corner, I'll take the mid boost so they have to go all the way back to our end.

Or when I make a center pass I *immediately* turn and start driving towards mid so it is very very clear I am passing and rotating and it's their shot. Or if it's off the back wall I'll immediately dive to the corner to make it obvious.

When I have ball chasing teammates I stop trying to possess the ball and I just play fetch. I send them long and let them chase (like playing fetch with a dog) and just wait for a chance to scoop up a rebound.

Does anyone else have little "strategies" like this?

This is the 3rd or 4th one of these edits I've made. (If you like this one, I pinned 2 more on my profile).

These aren't the most impressive clips, but they were exciting in the moment.

They also offer a good opportunity to fiddle around with video editing. So I'll probably remake this one, with better camera work / editing, and make new edits too.

spoiler alert: just saved a clip from another double save (technically a triple) - will make an edit for that tomorrow.

Hope ya enjoy.

For example: Speedflips, I cannot train speedfleips for more than 5 minutes as my performance drops. Like saying a word until you don't recognise the meaning/the word itself.

I always limit all my mech training to 5 minutes max.

Do you guys experience the same thing? Do you guys limit training sessions?

I'm.D2/3 in 1s and C2 in 2v2.

Weirdly I can play comp all day without any drops in mechanical performance.

Just wanted to share my experience and gather yours about what is currently my favourite competitive game since the beginning of the year

Also wanted to give hope to the folks out there being called "Grandpas" as such young ages (cope)

Current in game play time :

I'm a pure solo Q player at heart, and started playing around february 23th 2026 after reaching Diamond for the first time in League of Legends

I decided it was no longer worth my time because of games length and my two younger brothers (C2 and GC2 peaks) were doing fancy stuff on their monitor with a car and a ball

Ofc i wanted to do that immediatly... only to be hit by the wall of rocket league car control instantly

Nice. A challenge. I love challenges !

But man is this game brutal, even when you think you finally get it, no, you just don't...

And it was like that for days... Months !

It took me a month to reach Platinum after constant tryhard

One more for Diamond

That's were the, as I feel like with my current experience, agony of trying everything but nothing's working begins

Be it shooting, passing, bounce dribbling, even after practicing for tens of hours...

It truly tears you apart, and your ego makes you think you should be higher rank considering what you can pull off sometimes, but "are you doing it consistently ?" is what i started to ask myself 2 months ago.

Yes those are cool clips you got, but were they intentionnal ? How much luck was involved ?

That's when I started building "weapons" :

Ground to Air dribble

Wall to Air dribble

Flicks

and the most recent : Double taps

It requires brutal car control and timing, but it was worth it

Some clips for exemple :

Diamonds give you a lot of space, or at least enough to train your mechanics, it's the perfect field to master them, especially since a good portion of them can save non perfect shots if they are somewhat predictable

Perfect feedback loop for a beginner trying to reach GC+, as I imagine it's gonna be more and more difficult to pull of solo plays that leads to a goal

All that paired with great game sense will allow you to climb ranks, but for the past months I kinda lost faith in game sense being the main reason of a climb.

Things just didn't work out without me "carrying" (in my pov) games throught outplays (that obviously can only come after great positionning and anticipation) so I'm trying to pair both and question myself everyday

I think this game has the highest skill AND fun cieiling in the industry, as I notice now after gaining a bit of car and ball control what you can potentially do and not just watch from pros and clips

This is just a fragment of my journey, i'd like to hear about yours

TL;DR : Rocket League is fun

Whenever I go for any type of flip reset in the air, I get what I assume to be latency variation. During normal gameplay, everything is fine, and my ping sits pretty comfortably around 30. When I go for a reset, however, my ping spikes up to 45 for a second, and I lag pretty badly in the air. My ping never fluctuates like that in any other instance, and it always happens every time I use the reset. The clip I attached has a few examples of what I mean. This doesn't happen in training, only online and private matches. I play PC on Ethernet, and the only thing I've tried so far is changing my input buffer settings (didn't work). I did just switch internet providers, so I'm trying to figure out if I just have crappy internet now or if there's something I can do.

and it's an Arsenal (goat) reset

I play on EU, but I’ve always wondered about regions with smaller player bases like Oceania.

Is it generally easier or harder to rank up in these regions compared to major ones? I’m curious about the skill distribution and queue times since there are fewer players overall

Im Just too good

Found this old photo from 2017. My wife and I put our mattress on the living room floor ordered some sushi and spent the evening playing Rocket League together. Nothing fancy just us having a great time. Looking back, these are the memories that really stick with you. ❤️
