Hello everyone, I’m relatively new to Rocket League, with only about 500 hours played so far… In 2s, I’m currently ranked Diamond 2, and I can’t seem to progress any further… Recently, I read a report that 1s might help with that. So, here’s my very first ranked 1v1 match! Do you have any tips on where I need to improve to finally reach Champion?
Don’t expect it to come quickly. I was stuck in diamond until I reached about 750 hours. I managed to not fall out of champ until this season’s rank reset. I’m back in d3. I’m not much of a grindy player though, I play quite casually and only on weekends and only sometimes on workdays. I am not home currently so I’ll update this comment, or just post another one with thoughts on your one’s game later.
Also if you want I could play with you a bit to maybe see first hand where both of us can improve, I’m in europe though, so only if you’re in Europe too.
Wow, thanks for the offer! I’m glad to, I’m also from Europe/Germany :)
Just let me know when it works for you.
Best regards, Davokin
Oh sick, do you have discord or something? I am only really free on weekends and not always, but I will try to make it work, if it falls through I’m sorry for getting your hopes up lol
My discord is: @aquabery
Well one thing that immediately jumped out at me was your recovery speed. 1v1s are definitely a great way to learn and work on that since you’ve got no one else to rely on and you will get punished for it.
Recovery speed… Hmm, okay… It’s on my todo list! Thanks :)
Np! If you want to get to higher ranks in RL, it’s really in the little things, not the flashy things. Good recoveries, good rotations, solid 50/50s, managing your boost well and patience (Meaning not always hitting the ball just because you can. Sometimes the best play is to do nothing, keep your opponents guessing and let them fake themselves out).
Most diamond 2v2 mistakes are just committing to plays you shouldn’t, double commit to same save. In other words compete to which team makes less mistake.
Oh fuck off.
- dude who’s played on and off for years and has never gotten past Gold 3.
