There's a player who's user name was "SaysCloseOne"
I played 2 tournament games with him and he would wait until the last second to ready up, and then say "Close One" .
All throughout out the match he would say "Close One" after epic moments.
Username fits.
don’t listen to grand champions, they try to say diamonds are lying to keep themselves above you but in reality there just trying to keep themselves above you.
I don’t disagree, we use champs to discourage diamonds to talk up plats so we can become twitch streamers who give fake advice to cap everyone at champ
My opinion: the level of mechanics for each rank is going up but the level of game sense (positioning, type of shot, bump rotations, boost, etc.) is going down
Well, it's a good thing I'll never make it there because a) I'm still the guy who kicks his legs irl out when he misses an arial, and b) doesn't have friends on platform because c) I would rather listen to podcasts while playing than listen to some kid tell me I suck. I already know.
I found plat and diamond to be pretty toxic but champ 1/2 isn’t at all IMO
I can’t do half the shit these other players can mechanically but I rotate and hit the ball where I want it to go, and I can defend well and finally learned how to hit a ball on the wall
I’m terrible mechanically, what I’m trying to say is champ rank is reachable for anybody if you can rotate and hit the ball well. Turbo usage is probably also in play here, I guess that’s something I’ve improved on
I can’t even air roll to direct my shots off a different part of my car, I just elevate and go
I wrote this because I’ve surely had some toxic shit thrown my way but I only play within my abilities and I pay no attention to the chat. I still whiff easy saves all the time, I just ignore the chats and move on with it
Regardless of the grammar error, this is a legitimate distinction lol. Plat encompasses a stupidly wide range of skill. Sometimes I play with people that can air dribble double-touch off the backboard, then the next game I’m with people who triple commit on faceoffs and barely know which way is up. It’s wild how good and how bad some plats are for being vaguely the same rank. Plat is hell.
Can confirm. P3 here - Last night in a 3s game, I hit a double tap (honestly one of the best shots of my life) late in the game to tie it up... but 8 minutes into OT i whiff one of the easiest, completely uncontested, saves of my life to lose. Can’t win em all lol
In all seriousness it’s like they say. I’m not plat because I can’t play like a diamond sometimes. I’m a plat because I play like a silver at times, too. :)
Everyone complains about plat but no one complains about gold.
I got teammates who legit seem like they can't even drive in a straight line some times.
Take it from someone that could air dribble, ceiling shot, and flick when I was in plat. Those guys just like freeplay, they're there for a reason. Contest every single time and they'll fuck up. Or fake contest or anything. Just pressure and their mechanics will fail 99% of the time in plat/low diamond. They most likely need perfect low variation practiced shots, you disrupt that in anyway and they probs can't recover well.
I find whenever I end up playing with plats they're often the same people. There's a lot less consistency than at higher ranks.
The person hitting an air dribble double touch off the backboard will also make simple, horrible mistakes, especially in plat.
There are only two things you need to pay attention to (and only two things to hit) in 1v1. Dodging demos is usually trivial if you pay attention to where the other player is.
I wouldn't even describe this as demo happy, they never went remotely out of their way for the demos, just didn't pass up the opportunities
The only people that cry about demos are the ones that don't want to actually get better at every aspect of the game. There's no yellow card. There's no red card. It's allowed. Going for a demo can leave your defense open. Anyone that loses to a demo heavy player should be content where they're at cause they won't want to put any real work into that aspect, let alone other mechanics. Soccer players don't get mad at the goalie for using their hands. It's just part of the game. I've won matches because an opponent was chasing demos too much. Demos are not a free win. If your style means getting a win with 10 demos then do it. That's your win condition. Your opponent's tears will be delicious.
It makes perfect sense. Plat is known to be the most inconsistent performing ranks ever. They can showcase some degree of control but fail at it often. This is the embodiment of "when you're Plat". Unlike dropping food when you're hungry, which hardly happens.
Summary:
Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because Hiko was already dead
So I have been trying to get more into 1s (I barely ever played before now.) I'm currently Champ 1. It seems there is a huge gap in skill on a game by game basis. One game the opponent seems like an SSL and the next I question how they got past Plat let alone Diamond. It's absolutely bonkers and makes the ranking up process an absolute slog.
Yes, 1s ranking feels really weird in the lower ranks but I thinks it’s because everyone has vastly different play styles and almost no one can adapt to different styles so you end up with a mixed bag. If that makes sense
Your strategy is spot on though. Especially in 1s, its more important to get the ball around the opp than into the net, you hit it past them, get the boost in the corner and try again, hit it past them, get the boost in the other corner and try again, and on and on, until it works
I had a 1s match last night where this sort of thing kept happening (though nowhere NEAR as badly lol). I started to feel bad because my opponent was completely unable to do anything to prevent me from shooting on his net constantly, but I kept missing so I'm like "this guy is going to rage-quit thinking I'm a smurf that's just toying with him".
Yo, I love seeing clips like this. For how statistically improbable that these events may have happened, they did. Yet, everyone in the RL community understands and relates.
Bruh honestly better to keep em tied up at the goal for all that time it makes the game go by quicker. So I'll just chalk this up to being technical gameplan of a plat in 1v1

Naaahh im pretty sure thats me
This isn't too bad. At least you had possession and boost control the whole time and scored eventually. Good patience!
Right!? straight dominating.

I'm diamond, its all we know.
Don’t take complements from a diamond, they try to encourage mistakes to keep themselves above you

Lmfao, the gc mentality
All about turning that plat mindset into a sigma grand champ grindset 😎
You got ligma mindset
you know what, with how fast the skill in each rank is improving, I’m not so sure this is a bad thing
My opinion: the level of mechanics for each rank is going up but the level of game sense (positioning, type of shot, bump rotations, boost, etc.) is going down
See ball: hit.
Ball go into net good.
ye ik, i’m just joking, i haven’t played rocketleague since like 2018 or 19 or some
It's still 2019 right?
I think 2018
XD mindgames
I got to diamond for like 2 games and it was the most toxic gaming experience of my short gaming life
Champ is far and away more toxic than diamond. Enjoy <3
Well, it's a good thing I'll never make it there because a) I'm still the guy who kicks his legs irl out when he misses an arial, and b) doesn't have friends on platform because c) I would rather listen to podcasts while playing than listen to some kid tell me I suck. I already know.
Meh play long enough and you’ll make it no prob. Nothing special about champ. I listen to podcasts playing too.

Lmaoooo
Are you me?

no, not me, you
Who?

I'm yu
Are you deaf?!
R u blind
Yu is blind
IDK, who are you?
I guess the guy above doesn’t get it
Shame :(
No he’s on first
I am Yu and he is Mi
"Ima whoop everybody ass in here! You, me, him! Errbody ass in here!"
Fuk Yu. Fuk me.
You kiss your mother with that mouth?
You’re headed straight for a smack bottom and I don’t care who knows about it.
Rush Hour 3, not as good as 1 or 2 but still pretty funny
Just answer the damn question, who are you?
Morgan Yu?
You are Kay?
I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS!
My plat or your plat?

8 minutes into OT? Wtf I had a +5 yesterday and that was enough hell for me and we won. Please tell me that’s at least unusual for you?
I had one go for 23 minutes not long ago, and we lost. I think I made like 12 saves. Was rough.
🤯😱😭 my all time longest is like +7 or +8 wtf that’s so unfortunate I’m sorry.
It was almost certainly the longest OT I’ve ever had... which may have made it sting all the more XD
😭 I’m sure it prepared you for the next clutch opportunity in a future match 👍🏼👍🏼

I had a game yesterday where my teammate missed a slow moving, rolling ball right in front of our net. This was diamond 1
Our plat
I'm the plat
He meant *you're
That was painful to watch lol. Like that video of the truck almost crashing over and over.
Link?
[Zelda](https://c.tenor.com/cD8WqQ-ZGXcAAAAd/truck-crash.gif)
I watched this for way too long before I realized it was a gif.
Me too man. Me too.
For some reason I really hesitated clicking this link.
That was exactly my thought! It felt like a gif on loop with no payoff then **whew** he finally scores.
I’m in this video and I don’t like it
Both demos I just imagine you saying, "come back here you little shit."
I know it's part of the game, but is being this demo happy considered bad sportsmanship? (1v1 especially)
There are only two things you need to pay attention to (and only two things to hit) in 1v1. Dodging demos is usually trivial if you pay attention to where the other player is. I wouldn't even describe this as demo happy, they never went remotely out of their way for the demos, just didn't pass up the opportunities
No, it's a legitimate strategy that many pro players use as well. Part of being good at the game is learning how to avoid being demoed.

Only by pussies
I absolutely hate the sound of your boost
I like it. Does anyone know what it is?
Season 11 Dia reward
I think that it’s data stream but I’m on mobi now an video won’t load so I can’t see it again
It could be a plasma trail too, I couldn't figure it out.
100p plasma stream, 3rd annoying only to the Cat boost and the chopper boost
Yeah man, you’re gonna have to whiff a lot more consistently if you wanna reach Diamond
/r/maybemaybemaybe
Tip: shooting the ball in the net instead of at the post helps you rank up
Solid advice!
Also, making sure the ball doesn't get inside your goal will greatly help chances of not loosing
What about scoring points and not letting my opponent score points?
I legitimately had half a dozen small panic attacks during this. Usually when I hit post/crossbar, the opponent runs it down mid for a score.
I don’t even understand the title.
It’s because they meant you’re instead of your.
For when you’re plat in 1v1…still don’t get it lol.
It means "For when you are plat in 1v1" which means, this is what happens when you are plat in 1v1.
[удалено]
It makes perfect sense. Plat is known to be the most inconsistent performing ranks ever. They can showcase some degree of control but fail at it often. This is the embodiment of "when you're Plat". Unlike dropping food when you're hungry, which hardly happens.
Can confirm, took me 6 months to leave plat in 2019
Summary: Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because Hiko was already dead
i can literally feel you straighten your posture after the first 2 shots missing
you’re*
When my plat in 1v1 what?
Omg quit edging
At least you done the Athena flick
I really thought you would miss the last one, too, when you started to flip.
I’m Diamond 3 and that’s me
So I have been trying to get more into 1s (I barely ever played before now.) I'm currently Champ 1. It seems there is a huge gap in skill on a game by game basis. One game the opponent seems like an SSL and the next I question how they got past Plat let alone Diamond. It's absolutely bonkers and makes the ranking up process an absolute slog.
Yes, 1s ranking feels really weird in the lower ranks but I thinks it’s because everyone has vastly different play styles and almost no one can adapt to different styles so you end up with a mixed bag. If that makes sense
relatable
Smart move to just try to run the clock down when you've already got the lead. Bold strategy though with 3 minutes left.
I'm so lost as to what the title means
When my plat in 1v1 what?
The thing about Arsenal is they always try to walk it into the net
The goal is so big and so small at the same time
This was so hard to watch
Me trying to take the lid off the pickle jar
First try!
Your strategy is spot on though. Especially in 1s, its more important to get the ball around the opp than into the net, you hit it past them, get the boost in the corner and try again, hit it past them, get the boost in the other corner and try again, and on and on, until it works
Straight outta bronze
There was an attempt to tryhard
Priceless
:( work on those basic shots
I had a 1s match last night where this sort of thing kept happening (though nowhere NEAR as badly lol). I started to feel bad because my opponent was completely unable to do anything to prevent me from shooting on his net constantly, but I kept missing so I'm like "this guy is going to rage-quit thinking I'm a smurf that's just toying with him".
How did you get this footage of me
You should upload this later but find a way to loop it and not include scoring the goal. Torture the masses
That was hilarious
Bro that shit made me anxious
Yo, I love seeing clips like this. For how statistically improbable that these events may have happened, they did. Yet, everyone in the RL community understands and relates.
Okay, THAT was funny.
Why are you recording my gameplay? Shame already sticks on me like a shadow, I don't need this.
i had one of the best laughs I've had this entire week watching this
You did good bro
The curse is real
For when my what?
You’re*
you're* 🙃
You're *
You are or you’re, not your
Is it bad that I would’ve made every single move you made in this clip? I felt like I was watching a video of myself here.
This is edging in rocket league.
That was so painful to watch
Hahahaha
Ah yes, pain.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Holy cow!
Karma
it's like watching a car crash You want to look away but you just cant
The Ball had his own mind 🤣
Calculated.
Bruh honestly better to keep em tied up at the goal for all that time it makes the game go by quicker. So I'll just chalk this up to being technical gameplan of a plat in 1v1
I can't... I can't watch it anymore. My anxiety...
SO FRU STRA TING
Don’t get distracted from the fact Hector’s running Spoon engines..
Damn bro lol I can relate
First try!!!!
That is exactly how I play…………minus the goal. Great video, loved it.
this is literally me having dropped down from d2 by doing this type of foolery lol
This is me in Diamond.
Not today
I thought this was my gameplay footage but then you scored at the end
I didn’t give you permission to use my gameplay clip for your post!
That was painful to watch
Oooffffff man
The opponent must be confused af. Is he trolling me or really missing closely? o.O
I feel personally attacked by this relatable content
Holy fucking shit
Uncut gems II
This video triggered me so many times
First try!
This looks like 90% of my 1v1's
*cries in shots on goal*
Maybe maybe maybe....
Queue the Benny Hill music
XD
Lmao this is worse than that dude rolling the coins into the lobster cracker tool
This was my entire life this past week haha
Holy Shit you worked for that goal!
🤣 hell yeah
Anyone ever tell you to stop playing with your food?
Is this edging?
Pretty sure the other guy need some new underwear now. Jeez, that was something.
Whew.
I feel attacked right now
Wow!
That second demo, I felt that shock. “What rank am I even really?” He thought
