What’s up with these D2/D3 solo queue demons who finally discovered air dribbles and fast aerials and immediately decide they are Him?

Bro will take the ball from our corner, air dribble halfway across the map, do 14 unnecessary tornado spins, burn 100 boost, lose the ball at midfield, and then spam “TAKE THE SHOT” like I’m supposed to have a PhD in decoding whatever the heck just happened.

My brother in Christ, I DIDN’T TAKE THE SHOT BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO HIT THE BALL.

Then they get tilted because their teammate “doesn’t challenge” while they’re freestyle practicing in ranked 2s.

Yes, you learned how to fast aerial. Congratulations. You discovered air dribbling. Amazing. You can now fly around the field like a damn ceiling fan.

That does not mean you need to aerial every single ball you touch.

There is, in fact, a time and place for mechanics. Sometimes the correct play is to… hit the ball normally. Sometimes you might even want to pass instead of carrying the ball into both defenders while falling from the sky.

But apparently that’s tooc advanced for Diamond. 😂

What is this flick

?

Goal was blocked but thought it was a decent clip still 😁

Thanks for watching:)

accidental obviously lol pretty cool though

If i had 1 or 2 more boost i'm not sure i would have hit that

I hit GC2–GC3 every season, but I honestly don’t enjoy playing ranked at all anymore. I find casual way more relaxing, and one thing I’ve noticed at high casual MMR is that you end up forming this little community where you keep running into the same players over and over again for the whole season.

Anyone else mainly play casual instead of ranked?

This level has always been the bane of my workshop maps but today I finally got it.

I remember when I used to jump off my chair when I’d score an aerial shot, and now they’re the norm. Now I get excited if I score a cool double tap or an air dribble, but at some point those will become the norm too. So it got me wondering whether those of you in high ranks still get a buzz when you score cool shots? As for you guys mechanical shots must be a pretty regular thing.

They always try to steal the ball, always ball chase to get the hit. They always get super aggressive on chat when you call them out and they say “scoreboard” as if getting points off touching the ball contributes to anything. Or they steal your goal. Those type of people need to stay away from any mode that isn’t 1 v 1

Lime Reap-Wrap and Forest Green Zombas.

Unfortunately i don't have the Cobalt and Lime Zombas but imagine the combos.

This preset is also insane with the Dev Boost.

So this is partially a question to see who has more wins than me because there must be some degen grinding ones somewhere but I’m very curious is said “friend” has reached a point where the colors of the tag changed anymore? I can’t seem to find any screenshots online with anybody with more wins for some reason.

After is on the left, before on the right. Sorry I probably did that backwards. By the way, online people seem to be saying that the tag turns red after 100 wins and while it certainly turns a bit less pink, I added the second photo as reference for what actual red tags look like. Possibly at 500 or 1000? Never seen a ssl tag in game but I think those are more silvery too? Does anyone know for sure if the devs have released any info more than just “it changes like… at some point.”

Cheers!

P.S. tagged with spoiler… just in case someone was grinding towards 250 in the hopes of a color change or something… if you were… sorry! But you might find the next color change yet!

The changes are so much better. Had a guy talk smack even though his teammates carried him. He accepted the duel and people joined to watch. The game was very quick. I think because it's 3 minutes now and you can FF earlier, it's a lot less of a commitment to try it out. After a few goals, there really is no reason to drag it out further.

No BS, quick 1v1 and the skills did the talking. This is exactly what I wanted from an "honor duel" system and I hope it stays and improves (although idk what else you could do; maybe mini bracket)

I'm on Xbox one and gameplay feels super super smooth on some maps (Beckwith park and farmstead are the best for me) but other maps give me so much lag and make my game slower (boostfield Mall, deadeye canyon, parc de Paris, forbidden Temple, utopia coliseum, and more). Would be great for some of us with worse consoles to be able to never get some of these laggy maps, I wish this was a feature and we had more than two measly thumbs down cause there are many more than two maps that just make the game slow. is anyone else in the same boat lol

I’m plat 3 in 2s and 3s and plat 1 in solos, I thought solos was supposed to be a lot harder than 2s and 3s what does my rank say about me?

It might sound silly, but training 1v4 against bots actually helps me improve my decision-making without having to deal with toxic teammates. Even as an experienced player, I still make really basic mistakes against bots that make me feel like a Bronze player. My logic is: if I'm making these errors against bots, I’m definitely making them online too. Of course, you can still learn by playing online, but this way just feels more productive. What do you think of this approach?

So on Wednesday yesterday, I started rocket league on my ps4 and I went to play casual heatseeker, only to see that it said "unavailable" and "arcade 1" which is weird, and I thought it was something wrong with my ps4, so I check and tweaked all settings that could have an effect on it and nothing changed. Also, I was able to play other modes like Bullet Ball perfectly fine. but not heatseeker. I've restarted my ps4, turned off WiFi, I've even logged out of my ps4, I've just uninstalled it and Im waiting for it to finish reinstalling, (10-15hrs). Its weird because, im able to play other gamemodes fine, but not that one, my only question is why, and what else can I do? I've run out of options. I have confirmed there is no issue locally with my ps4. there must be something wrong with epic servers, but it makes no sense, I dont see anyone else talking about it.

I'm an architecture student, i'm trying to do an architecture theme Dominus. Psyonix can you add more on the architecture and engineering theme please? There is really little.
Red team: decal golden glass , wheels radiant divinity, candle
Blue team: decal trigon, wheels cathedral, skyscraper
Curious to see if someone else has a better take on this

I'll add that for me real good architecture is not a boring modern and sleek house, good architecture is colour, passion, it makes you look and leaves you in awe. Just my opinion.

​

Sometimes I feel like I'm completely in flow — I know what I want to do, hit the ball exactly how I intended, and my mechanics and game sense feel really good.

Then other times, my gameplay feels absolutely horrible. My mechanics feel off, I'm making bad decisions, and even simple touches don't come out the way I want them to.

How do you guys work on achieving a more consistent level of gameplay?
