How To Get Out Of PLATINUM In 2022 | Road To SSL w/ Zero Mechanics #2 - ROCKET LEAGUE

[@distort1onyt]

With all due respect, as a Plat II, this is not how ranked games go for me. Everyone (almost) has an understanding on aerials and will hit some pretty powerful shots.

So true

[@richrounstone8432]

Yeah, I get teammates that are lets just say all over the place where as the opposing team is doing aerials and constantly demoing 🤦‍♂️

[@tracetd_40]

As a plat, this is SO eye opening and helpful as I feel like I am one of those people who panic or over commit and I need to play WAY more passive! Keep up the awesome work!

[@jerry3790]

To be honest, you’re still using way too much mechanics for the rank. The main indication of this is ball control. The average plat is very imprecise with their ground play and it doesn’t seem like you’re accounting for that. Perhaps this challenge would work better if you forced yourself to have no mechanics by playing on KBM

[@ryanstinnett578]

Also the recoveries. Like insta power sliding when getting bumped.

[@Yatagarasu]

This is why I dislike Road to SSL w/ no mechanics series. They're always misleading because they have that high-level car control and game-sense that they themselves don't notice or mention, and when I try to take in what they do, my mechanics take a nosedive and I need to spend another few days building them back up. I highly recommend watching Yukeo's most recent Road to SSL series since I found his tips a lot more useful and he uses all kinds of mechanics, including advanced mechanics every once in a while, so you also get a good sense of when to use certain mechanics instead of limiting yourself in these "no mechanics" series just because they might not use a mechanic you normally rely on.

[@ChickenNugget769]

@@Yatagarasu game sense and car control are not really mechanics. also watch waytons vid he got to i think champ or gc in a day with a piano as a controller. but really all these road to ssl seires are just to teach lower ranked players to play the game and maybe give them insight on why they are not able to rank up.

[@antattackBAM]

@@Yatagarasu Have you tried watching some of Flakes' older 'no mechanic' series? Really solid and he isn't using all the things this guy does - like flying in the air in gold lol

these goals are almost all so mechanical for gold and plat. jumping and boosting is SOO hit and miss at these ranks and so many of these are having a boost component it just doesn't happen until the top of plat and this is supposed to be w/o mechanics

I seen you went for in-net defending then moved right away for back posting. Not sure which was instinct, it seems like in-net defending was instinct then realized you needed to enforced back posting so you proceeded to back posting. Is back posting better than in-net defending? And is there ever a need to be at the front post, like if the opponent is playing close on that corner? Or is just better to still wait at the back post?

[@msaocer]

To be honest defending in-net is fine in plat but it’s better to do back post defense especially in diamond and above

[@danielebazzani]

"Me tryin to compensate with mechanics, just cut that out". A huge lol.

[@nehemiahcoble]

The one thing I’ll say since you played golds in this is that at plat you really need to learn how to pre jump and when to push because some plays can dribble and flick and your not saving it unless you pre jump them and force it low for your teammate. Also need to learn when to push out from net when it’s in your corner or they might score

[@OjoejoeYT]

As a plat everyone goes up for air dribbles and flip reset and is sooo good

[@lovestehloz]

Love the series. However, I think you should start on an account that is currently ALREADY ranked in Bronze and go from there.

[@Chicken251]

I've literally been in plat for less then a day and im already watching these kinds of videos lol

[@Sosa-ih8ev]

Is the coaching where you guys chose free or do we have to pay if we get accepted?

[@MrMinticuz]

From what I've heard the coaching is not free but there are other SSL's the provide free coaching of sorts

Hi mate I’m trying to start a KZbin channel for rocket league and I don’t know how to start. I’m a freestyler so do you think I should try montages or teach mechanics or is there any other video ideas you have? Love the content btw

[@MyyssticalRL]

I'd recommend just doing some montages and teaching mechanics can help too. Would be a start.

[@Bio333pro]

Bro my plat lobbies go like this: opponents can speed flip, aerial and rotate😢

[@TheStillCake]

What thing are you using for the mmr count thingy

[@Xavier-jj6tx]

I am a plat and i think I’m decent for a plat, and the key is to learn easy mechanics that can be extremely useful, such as, wave dashing, and half flips

[@pyro934]

No the key is placement, I just started learning those mechanics when I hit champ

[@samuelspisak5541]

as a plat this is really helpful. BUT i just cant stand teammates that miss wide open nets many times a game and are so un predictable that they just wait there and im like u going? or not

[@wetindeyonline4440]

ngl i love the intro

[@szymonmajda2993]

Luke you should upload more often

[@EthanTomich]

Wow, watched this, hopped onto rl, and leveled up to Diamond within half an hour, thanks SpookLuke!

[@Lutz1985]

I like the calm play that you do to actually perform best - playing smart and efficient . However as a plat there is a lot of things to learn, e.g. how to fifty fifty, drifts, turns etc. and i have a feeling you progress faster towards diamond if you really get your hands dirty, challenge, make a lot of mistakes to learn from rather than playing calm and smart, which trains the game sense, but not so much the mechanics.

[@jeremyjery01]

Exactly

Does anyone know how u can see ypur mmr on the comp screen? Pls help me i need to know anyone pls (sorry for begging im just curious and want to know how)

[@polyaro2504]

Generally in plat, you should not trust your teammates because everytime I decide to trust them, they miss and the opponents score, so play it safe, and when the ball is in your side, you should do a really hard clear

[@cloudysky302]

When you put all skill points in game sense

[@dustyburwell592]

I’d love to see this series but focused on standard.

[@sugarbtw1644]

I’m high diamond and I am so inconsistent, I should be with golds sometimes, anyone got any tips

[@abdulazizalsubaai9030]

Consistency comes with hours, just keep playing to get more consistent, also understanding the purpose of what you are doing on the field will help a lot with consistency.

[@NazTaiL]

I will take any tip for tm8 who play ping-pong with the opponents, booming everything from one side of the field to the other side while i'm trying to play slower to make better play! 😕 (P1-P-3)

[@joshshultz1250]

Honestly in plat booming is a successful strategy because most people chase.

[@glyntaylor-williams3593]

Stay back on your side, boom the ball either at their net. Or at the waterfall. Or the corner. They will chase. And miss or something. You can come in and hit the easy clean up. Or boom back wall, and hit the open net double tap.

[@MattWeedon]

I wish I could find teammates with this mentality.

[@t3db0t97]

How much of this also applies to 3v3? Is there an equivalent video for 3v3?

[@RisageYT]

I'm no expert but just make sure you don't over commit,in 3s Rotating is key and staying in good position You don't want to push as last man Second man want to be more patient and stay a bit behind first man /ball incase first man misses or the other team sends it passed the first man

[@Dmitriy_D]

Can you do the 3 v 3 videos?

[@user-dq3xw9cv3e]

I hate plat and diamond games so I just skipped both and went straight to champ.

[@upperdecker1750]

Tactic- play super passive and do zero mechanics so that don't match you against same ranks WITH mechanics = ez leveling up but not actually getting better

[@hatedxsoul.]

The mmr system and matchmaking doesn’t take mechanics into account. It counts wins/losses shots saves and goals.

[@Cocokingable1]

Genuinely wish i could play this well so im not useless to my friends.

[@townnoodle1153]

[@BeauxLo]

None of the plays I play are like this the games are way faster and every shot is on target plus they are good at dribbling and air dribbling plats are actually good now adays.. especially dribble to air dribbles are tough to guard with bumps

[@ObsessionTheCat]

When someone makes these videos, you get decent team mate and low level players on other team. When you play there is higher chance to get worse team mate and other team happens to have like S2 diamond tournament winner (so propably much better now) and sometimes even champion tournament winner and you just get destroyed by them.

I wish there was a way to send this link to teammates in solo que

[@abdulazizalsubaai9030]

Teammates aren't the reason you are stuck in plat, they might be a part of the problem but the biggest problem is you.

[@johnhunter1362]

@@abdulazizalsubaai9030 you don't know that. I guarantee you there are so many good players who probably just quit playing this game because of garbage teammates when solo queuing. Once you get out of plat things get a little better, but it's a coin flip. The way placements go if you solo queue them you better not care about where you get placed.

[@abdulazizalsubaai9030]

@@johnhunter1362 I know what I am talking about. Teammates can hold you back for a certain level, but if you get good enough, you will solo que your way out of your rank easily, especially if you were in plat.
