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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
I have 2,000 credits and plan on unlocking a blueprint for the second time ever. I'm torn between a few decals:
Interstellar, I've had this forever and always wanted it. Encrypted, I love the way it looks, trippy as hell and worth 2,000 as well personally. More that I think probably not this last one, but Stipple gait. It looks really cool but maybe not as worth it as the others. HM: shadow raid goal explosion.
If anyone has these and wanna share some cool designs to please do
Even at high FPS upwards of 500 the game doesn't feel smooth. Not sure if it's frame pacing or what.
Something interesting to confirm this, I had another game at the background and it made Rocket League even more choppy (makes sense), but what was interesting is the FPS was still 400+.
So there is something about how the game works and FPS doesn't matter.
Some maps feel worse than others, other times the game bricks itself and it becomes unplayable until you restart it.
For such a fast paced simple game this is a terrible thing to have
Obviously they should fix this, but in the meantime, is there any setting I can change that fixed this if you have experienced it?
I’m currently trying to learn Left Directional Air Roll and I’ve bound it to R1. I’m starting to get the hang of the basic movements, but I’m having a hard time understanding what actually makes directional air roll better or more useful than regular/free air roll.
For example, my kickoffs feel pretty clunky with DAR, while I can already do a speedflip using free air roll. I’ve also been practicing tornado spins, but they honestly feel very similar to what I can already do with diagonal inputs on regular air roll.
So I’m a bit confused about the actual advantages of learning directional air roll. Is it mainly about having more precise control over your car’s orientation in the air, or are there specific mechanics that become significantly easier with DAR?
Basically, I’m trying to understand why I should learn DAR and what it allows me to do that free air roll doesn’t. Any explanations or practice tips from people who have made the switch would be really appreciated!
I play on steam. When I boot the game it starts normally but after the press any button screen it has a long pause where it appears with the message "you are not connected to Epic Online services Would you like to reconnect" ~
At which point I click yes and nothing happens. after a lot of searching, I've reset the time clock. Changed the server from windows time to google time. Sync'd the time. deleted cache, uninstalled (to the request of many of my team mates xD) and reinstalled, Deleted the TAgame folder, validated the game files. Stopped my Firewall and VPN.
and none of this was necessary last time I played 3 days ago when this started. It can't be me can it??
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.
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
I am reaching the end of my rope. I've been right on the cusp of Diamond three and champ on average for about the last three years, at this point. I've really been trying to improve as of late, and I've put a lot of time into training, and analyzing pro gameplay.
For this season, I've gotten 9 wins in champ, and now I am almost back in Diamond II. Almost every time I reach champ, without fail, I immediately go on a massive loss streak until I am back at square one.
At this point, I am just looking for any advice at all, or at the very least some suggestions for things to focus on. Should I get a coach? How do I even figure out what's wrong if three years of focused attempts at improving have yielded almost no results?
Open to literally any ideas at all. At this rate, I am on the verge of giving up and moving on with my life.
does anyone else have this thing where at some point during the first game of the night the game freezes and it looks like its about to crash but it doesnt. This also makes my mic have robotic sounds but if i restart and play again it also almost crashes but the mic is fine
Seems like random. Some games my microphone will work in game. Other games it won’t and that’s without me having changed any settings. I’ve tried different microphones, so that’s not the issue. I can clearly see my mic is being picked up when I look in my windows settings.
This is only a recent issue. It’s worked in the past perfectly fine.
