Rocket League Catch All

There was a video Panda shared not to long ago. Basically said you're ready for the ball your teammates not. Or something to that regard. Don't go for balls until you know your teammate can get back to cover you. I really think those are simple things that we can all work on and improve our game..

I think you mean this video.

When I saw this I thought "thank god someone has finally explained rotation in an easy to share video because i struggle to explain it clearly every time it comes up" and I sent it to a bunch of people but never got around to sharing on here.

A huge key part of this is awareness of your teammates and opponents. Not blind adherence to some strict idea of rotation that never really matches reality.

Here you go:

Don't make me play again and prove you wrong! I'm probably down to a solid Silver 3!

It's a title like Rocketeer or Rookie. It came out with Rocket Pass. You probably equipped it without realizing. You can change it in the garage menu and select the change title icon.

Got it, thanks!

I don't know why but I can't stand that Jake go that does the video. I had to turn it off a few minutes into it.

I’m just not getting better. I can never find a group my skill level until five minutes before I log off for the night. And I really don’t want to play with randoms.

Don't do it. We're similar skill level, lets get some games in.

Tier 4180 eh?

RLCS season 7 started today with the first NA stream. This is the first season South America has been invited so there are 4 regions competing. Lots of off season team shakeups happened including the first cross region player transfer.

Thanks for the heads up.

RLCS LAN is at Prudential Center in New Jersey from June 21-23. 1 million US in prize money again this season. No more double elimination bracket this time. Now there will be a group stage and a single elimination stage. 12 teams will make it to LAN now that SA is included.

I'm excited to see if Fairy and Scrub can have a good season now that they have Kaydop as a teammate but what I really want to see is Squishy bring another trophy back to Canada

I'm late with your congratulations but here it is, about time you joined the champion ranks! Well done buddy!

Spikeout wanna join us for some games sometime now that we can do cross platform parties? What’s your RocketID?

Cross platform parties actually work pretty well. I've been playing on my Xbox a lot more lately. We had a Xbox, PS4, PC party going one night.

I mean you're not wrong! I appreciate it. Can't wait to Rocket (Rock It) with you again soon, buddy!

The SA pre-RLCS tournament "RLCS Season 7 - South America: Grand Series" is streaming right now.

The main stream is here:

The English stream is here:

Most players on the top teams are from Brazil and I recognize a few names from the "League of Rockets: The World Cup 2017" Brazilian team.

Vitality looked pretty good in their match this week. Still some double committing by scrubkilla, but excellent passing and possession by the whole team.

New Defender car has a Dominus hitbox.

It takes 10 “points” to tier up the pass by one. You get 10 points per XP level. So that’s the same as it used to be but with a new point system instead of just XP levels. They added the point system because the new weekly challenges award points to help you tier up faster.

Yep definitely be up for that. It be great now that the cross platform parties are in place, didn't think this day would come that we could play across all platforms.

Not a fan of the challenge system as I think it will promote people playing a certain way to finish their challenges. I know they are intentionally easy for this reason, but I still see the potential for people to play differently than they normally would so they can get their challenge finished.

Hope I'm proven wrong.

That was my worry as well but so far the challenges they’ve shown wouldn’t make me play any differently. But I’ve already seen people change their play style pretty heavily to chase 50 points under the old system and I thought that wouldn’t happen so what do I know.

I kinda wish the wins one was for everyone and not just premium. When I saw the quick chat one I thought “oh now some jerk is gonna tell me to take the shot 15 times every game” then I noticed it was 15 games not 15 times. I kinda hate the “take the shot” quick chat since other than kickoff I’ve never seen someone use it in a way that wasn’t useless. I use “all yours” instead.

We'll see, but even in that example one of the challenges is to use a specific car. Now, it's only 1 time, but am I going to have teammates who never use that car, put it on for 1 ranked match and probably not play as well as they normally would because they aren't used to the hitbox on it? I know, it's minor, but still, if I'm playing ranked I am playing because I want to win.

Now that I think about it, it might have been better if they made it so all the challenges were casual only. That way people can do stupid stuff like that without affecting ranked.

Hopefully I'm wrong and the challenges end up being an awesome addition to the rocket pass.

But, sometimes, they are.

I feel like that video is just there to prove you didn't just miss it

Little late to party on this chaos but loving it!

Currently sitting at Silver II (Division III) for 3v3 and Bronze I (Division I) for 2v2.

Feel free to add me if you'd like an extra player cruising around aimlessly!

If I have all chat, including Quick Chat off will I still get credit?

I was in that game. The server was very janky.

Will need your RocketID (on in game friends list) to add you on other platforms. North America players gather on Discord. Especially Saturday nights (7PM PST / 10PM EST). With rocket pass 3 about to drop I expect more people to be on discord during the week again.

I'm betting yes.

You can see (at least icons for) all the Rocket Pass 3 premium items at the Rocket Pass site here:

There are special edition versions of premium painted items again but I haven't seen what they are yet.

That was a good read. I'm sure players will find a way to muck it up
