All of OG Esports switched to grass boost after Luminosity all switched to grass boost today... An entire RLCS lobby with grass boost which doesn't display very well from far away... when do we consider it a problem?

If you're going to tackle the boost problem, you gotta address the decal and trails problem as well. There are color theories that suggest camouflage works in real-world applications. Consider the notion of matching your opponents' color schemes or even the arena color schemes or the color theory that darker colors or even neutral colors are less registered by the eye. Then, consider the trails being invisible. See, you want to tackle 1 aspect of a much larger issue. Cause the issue you're tapping into is more about what gives the opponent an edge, even if it is small. Why not also tackle trash talking? Cause that could also give an opponent an edge. Screaming on LAN that gives an edge. Camouflage your car to match your opponents, that gives an edge. See, you can't just target boost and be fine with all of these other aspects that give a team an edge.

lol. I have a boost that comes out the car kinda sideways instead of straight back. I exclusively use it because people can’t read my pathing

Every single player in the OG vs LG game today was using the grass boost for this reason. Nice timing.

It’s crazy how the day Leth posts this, a bunch of pros are using the grass boost in RLCS

I've actually always used the ones that are least visible because it helps me focus on my car during aerials. The other side of that is that you don't get the visual cues that you are staying on boost too long.

This is rocketleague!

Through BM I use black ion as it's invisible and OEM C (not the v2) as engine sound as it's extremely silent and helps me to hear better what's going on around me, especially people trying to demo from behind. But I don't see any reason to ban anything like that anywhere as that won't give a major and annoying hit to the competition like brokenly OP characters in fighting games do for example.

@robertcarson7871

Engine sound isn't talked about enough. Some car sounds make me feel like I'm going to slow or too fast. Take R3MX vs Takumi, for example. R3MX sounds like a supercar/hypercard while the Takumi makes me think of an Evo or Skyline or something. I imagine a tuner car would be about the right power to run around the field without sacrificing control (even though it's all in my head haha)

@IIIrIpI7III

The issue with engine sound is that you may also diminish the capacity of your teammates to hear you, for instance if a play slows down on defense a teammate may not readily realize you have just arrived behind him.

Bro I’ve been using the bubbles boost for years and my reasoning was because it didn’t get in my way when I jumped up. I never thought about my opponents not being able to see it 😅

I can see something similar happening like in CS with Agent Skins which give you an advantage on certain maps. Now Pros are playing on a Gentlemen's Agreement, only using the standard Agent skins in competitive play.

I swear whenever Leth is in the lobby it makes everyone else so much more calm and collected. I love seeing it lmao

Black candyfloss from the item shop yesterday looked almost invisible as well

@lethamyr I was thinking about this earlier when the big black Star Wars boost came out. Very easy to read. But can it maybe help you to fake out opponents? Because it appears clearly you’re boosting and you can stop before you hit te ball. What do you think? I’m not good enough to test this myself properly.

13:56 I know a little luck was involved here but that is also an insane read - you knew early on that it was happening!

Using boost like this is one of top tips, if you use a crazy boost you blind your teammate and at times yourself esp when in the air. So think of your team mate esp in kick off, use black standard boost or burnt sienna spinkles

I've used black manhattan boost for awhile for the same reason, it's a tournament reward from awhile back. It's the least visible of any of the boosts that I've seen.

squishy already into his content days!

I had always considered the noise to be the big tell, but perhaps visuals are moreso? I have typically tried quiet boosts, like sparkles.. but i may have to change

I actually use the grass boost lol. It helps me see the backend of my car better when in the air

Kep owes Chicago 100 bones. 😂😂😂

I've used the Black Ion boost since pretty much the game release for this very reason :D

if you guys wanna try it out the boost sparkles in black is almost invisible

I know I'm late to this but OG Season 2 boost is also very hard to see when you're feathering since the boost line just disappears when you let go. If you hold it, then you can see it but just quick taps shows only the flame from the car, nothing else.

ive been using the bubble since i started because the other boosts were too distracting, can confirm no advantage as im still bad at the game

even though sideswipe doesn't have much of a pro player spectrum, if you tap boost and not hold it the autumn boost is impossible to see

Always love Leth vids 😩❤

With BM you can anonymise your opponents and they appear with standard boost

Leth is either using bubbles or he’s out of boost, can’t tell 😂

Hey Leth - how bout a custom map where the goal activates / deactivates every second or so . Alternately, a gate on the goal opens or closes. Maybe it's already been done. Popped into my head last night and figured I'd share. Thanks for the content!

Leth with the squishy save.

Watching you miss that boost, made me feel so good. I do it all the time except I’m trash.😢

Meanwhile in sideswipe there is the grey rock boost where you pretty much see nothing

Congrats to the GOAT's Retirement!!!

Leth, is it possible to make a game where there's like a hundred new spawns. Love to see that

I know it's basically impossible because of region difference, but its a dream of mine to see my 3 favorite players (Squishy, Lethamyr, and Flakes) team up in some sort of competitive scenario. I think it would be magical.

Been rocking bubbles for a long time now

I’m watching RLCS right now and Cheese from Luminosity is using grass boost.

As someone who has used bubbles since the game came out (because it's funny) I love that it's becoming meta lol

In C1-GC1, everyone challenges everything at all times. Super annoying.

S11 Silver boost is also pretty invisible when feathering

Leth Ive got a video idea for a prank, if possible you could make the game give scores anytime an action happens (shot on net, saves, center etc.) and then not tell anyone

I have mained bubble boost for years to not blind myself in specific aerial angles where I feel other boosts could obscure the view🤷‍♂️ Never heard anyone say it’s harder to read when I’m boosting though, it’s just more spread out so that you can see through it. Idk, maybe iv’e been cheating all this time🗿

Grass is crazy

4:42 i’m confused, is 2v2 not the same as 2s ?

Squishy, JKnaps, and yourself would be such a wonder team for rlcs, you could call your team the retirement home! The way you all play smart and for your teammates would be such an na powerhouse! Also JKnaps, where its JKnaps napping in a bed.

Didn't know Squishy could play more than 2 games at a time on KZread 😂

black Ion was my go to when I played

I use Manhattan exclusively as my boost, clean, nice sounding, no trail at all :)

I'll use the silver season reward from last season from time to time as it's also really hard to see.

the RCA boost with breakout is insanely hard to see

I use black ion through BM because it's objectively better for visibility

I have and use the black ion all the time! I always said it was OP for years

The entire back of your car lights up. They can just make it brighter. I’ve used bubbles for years because I feel it does give me an advantage but does it really? Can we not actually see it or is it placebo?

Have we ever heard leth squishy comms?

are you done with rocket racing?theres a lot of new content and with season 1 coming up today i think it would work out really well

you have to tap the bubble boost and there is no visible graphics if you thought this was an unfair boost

I've been using black Ion for so long now, the main reason is because its invisible lol

I remember seeing this live lol

If you watched rlcs this weekend. People are using the same strat but with the grass boost.

Bubbles is more visible! Black ion is since the beginning the invisible boost

Fearless reminds me of a certain youtuber
