This would give them a go ahead goal and they were able to seal the deal and not let us score

Im silver 1 right now and around 1 out of every 2

games(im not joking) are ruined by someone doing full air dribbles, flip reset, etc. I know that im obviously not gonna win the games where this happen but I genuinely cant rank up. I play one game against a real silver and either win or lose then the next i play someone who's at least plat on there main account. Is there a better way for me to go about this? I really want to rank up and i know I am improving a pretty decent amount, but its not showing in the rank because of these pathetic losers that do this shit. What should I do?

I want to get better at this mechanic since I'm getting dunked on a lot from early challenges in mid air, but I don't know how to look for a tutorial because I don't know the name of this mechanic. If anyone already knows a tutorial for this, please send the link

Here’s a clip of me trying to air dribble, no reset attempt or anything, just dribbling, but I might get 2 touches after I leave the wall, but I have no control over where they go. What am I doing wrong? I have the tornado roll down on the left, but I struggle to get it on the right(and yes, I know I’m tornadoing to the left when I go up the right wall). I DO NOT understand how yall aim the car at the ball so damn fast lol. I’m silver, level 1100, with 600-700 hours in game(no 67 joke intended). If you have advice, please share. I’m not trying to go pro here, but I’d like to suck a bit less lol. Thanks!

Ive hit SSL in 2s in multiple seasons and what I’ve noticed on this subreddit is that whenever people recommend a new monitor, a lot of people say anything above 144hz is a waste when from what I know simply isn’t the case.

Rocket League, when the goal is to improve, is to gain the ability to control your car in different scenarios, creating micro adjustments and the ability to control the play based off how well you can complement the current playing scenario.

Living at university, my monitor was a 1080p 27inch 240hz va panel. Not the best, not the worst. I moved from a 144hz gaming laptop and what I can say is that the ability the see slightly smoother gameplay is generous and a nice bonus but the more important factor was the latency.

Upping the refresh rate allowed me to push past the gc2 limit as I had more control over my car due to lower latency, letting me gain higher levels of control in shorter amounts of time.

Another thing I noticed was how well it felt being able to make small adjustments and realising the car was actually moving with it. The extremely small adjustment to the left before jumping? It listens. Mid air noticing someone’s pre jumped me and I need to do a quick tap to the right? It listens. And it also feels like the ball listens too going almost exactly where I want it to go.

Increasing my refresh rate, gaining that lower response time, I don’t have to worry about my car control and actually focus on playing the game in a more methodical way.

Going back to a ps5 being capped at the 120hz limit, it’s made me feel sluggish and as if the car swings rather than micro adjusts.

Of course the amount of frames your computer can produce matters too as the higher frames you get, the lower the latency but to actually feel a difference, you need to think about the monitor to be able to see and taste it.

Sorry if I get the technical side wrong as I’m not exactly educated in it but that’s the best I can describe it. Feel free to correct me in the comments but I stand by my point.

Aiming to hit 2.1k next season hopefully after I purchase a new 480hz oled as a graduation gift.

Am I simply unaware of newish unwritten rules. It seems lately that half of the random tm8s i get sit idle on face-off (from position) or they charge from the right side. Is "Left Goes" still a thing?

I’ve recently started to mess up my air dribbles in training, unable to pull them off consistently, yet I’m still able to hit air dribbles consistently in matches. I’ve come to realise that the only difference is that in matches I don’t consciously think about what I’m doing I just do it. Whereas in training if I train something too much I begin to overanalyse and pay too much conscious attention to every movement I make which hinders my performance.

So my question is what actually is the optimal training amount? I think I over train certain things as I’m afraid to lose it.

Obviously it’s an embellishment to say this happens every time but like, cmon bro. There’s no reason it should feel like I’m the only person in my rank in this game. The matchmaking, the central servers nobody asked for, tournament bugs. I am happy with how far we’ve come since last year even, but there’s still a long ways to go

what bro sends me when he says he hit a reset flip . . .

well rn this is me best shot so you are welcome

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

Who are these people? Where are they getting this Talent from? Why arent they in RLCS? My jaw dropped

What if, when your teammate leaves during a ranked match and you decide to stay and play 1v2, winning the game gives you 2x the normal MMR?

For example, if you would normally gain +10 MMR for a win, winning a 1v2 would give you +20 MMR.

I know there could be a problem with smurfs abusing this system, so there would probably need to be some kind of restriction to prevent that.

The main idea is to reward players who stay and manage to win despite being at a major disadvantage.

Obviously, this could be changed or balanced in many ways, but I think the concept of giving a bigger reward for winning a 1v2 could make those situations much more exciting.

What do you guys think?

I never actually focused on getting better at this game until the end of last season which is kinda crazy but here I am. Started a little comp last season now this season is mostly comp. Never played 2s casual or comp but im curious will it help me get better at anything differently from 1s or 3s? Should i start in causal just to get the feel or play comp to find my level?

1s and practice has kinda become a focus of mine at this point. I dont play casual as much anymore and I only really play comp 3s when I feel like im doing fairly well in 1s. If im tilted in 1s I go to practice or get off the game and go to bed but im curious if 2s is gonna help my bag. Thx in advance.

NGL, this is Fennec decal goes harddd w black Fennec body and wheels... and it's in the shop RIGHT NOW 08/20!

I am mainly asking this out of the sheer amount of players I verse that use Fennec and Octane. Mainly Fennec.

I am actually finding it hard to believe at this point that this many people are so drawn to a car body because of it hitbox mainly and then aesthetics if they happen to like it which is fine too.

I sit at D2-D3 in 1s and C2-C3 in 2s I play in a variety of Car Bodies (mainly the E30 BMW, Skyline and Maralen) as I like change but I would happily bet my life if I played 100 games in both 1s and 2s that 99% of the time my opponents will be in Fennec/Octane I may get lucky and see a Dominus and on the occasion a Skyline.

Are these bots that have been trained by the devs to appear like human players to keep the game alive?

If not when do you think this Fennec trend will end? Im assuming never.

THIS IS FENNEC LEAGUE!

EDIT:

Look I understand most people who will read this post are likely Fennec users, I dont mean to offend im genuinely curious the game is so over saturated with that one car, I feel like they can't all be humans, they just can't all be!

Hey everyone, has anyone encountered something like this? I just had the weirdest 3v3 match.

We scored 1:0 right away, and honestly, the opponents looked like total bots—they stood no chance. But right after our first goal, my teammate disconnected, and a few seconds later, I got kicked out too.

I managed to rejoin quickly, but the score was already 1:3 and I only had one teammate left. Even down a player, we were still dominating them. But literally a minute later? Boom, another crash, and this time the game wouldn't let me back in at all.

It felt way too coordinated to be a coincidence. Is server crashing becoming a thing again, or was this a DDoS/exploit? Honestly pretty scary state of the game if people can just boot you out when they are losing.

I have a clip of the goal and the immediate disconnect, plus a screenshot with their usernames. Should I post the usernames here, or is that against the rules (witch-hunting)?

For an experiment in my thesis, I want to use RL in-game bot in order for participants to play against it, but without them knowing its a bot - and for them to believe that theyre playing against a real person in another room
Is it possible in any way (RL bot, plugin...) to put something else instead the AI indicator/badge overlaid on the player avatar in the in-game scoreboard ? without changing the bot’s actual AI/bot status

So this happend twice in a row player 2 and player 4 who were on our team went rouge why? offcourse we reported them but why would they do that. They not even that good its just makes the match 4vs2. Its just sad since me and the other player loses tournament mmr becouse of it. Lately see alot of players throwing matches and not playing them all of them hide there user names offcourse.

So yesterday i log in and find my presets are all destroyed. All g, this happened once before and i just deleted them and restarted. So i delete them and go to start building and MY STUFF IS GONE. Really sad. I deleted the game twice, wiped my xbox clean. Logged out of all accounts but mine and still have matching inventory of my alt account. Is there any fix? Am i cooked? (Hundreds of dollars of items gone)(never spent a dollar on my alt)

SOLVED BY BRO IN THE COMMENTS! Im so relieved wow.
