Thanks for watching! P.S. To all the people angrily commenting: "shadow defense is good in champ!" "flip resets are good at SSL!" "dribbling is good at plat!" Yes, I agree. The problem is this is a TIER LIST. I can't list dribbling 7x at EVERY rank. My point: This list is just one option you have. I made it because it makes sense to me, and I think it will help provide you with some sense of direction in an otherwise complicated game. All tier lists are wrong, but some are useful. Use this list, if you find it useful. TLDR: TRAIN WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TRAIN. These are only my recommendations. KEYWORD: recommendations. Have fun Twitter commenters. (:

Shadow defense is very relevant in platinum spook. Can't count how many times that people have been scored on because their back is turned to the ball and have no aerial car control to save/ dont have the knowledge to drift tapping to save the ball.

I don't know if that's really shadow defense per se, that's more aerial/car control. Of course, it happens when your back is towards the ball, and that's also how you are when shadow defending, but when I see hear shadow defense it's more about knowing which position to take in order to shut down your opponent's offense. So it's not just about knowing that since you're backwards your controls are inverted, shadow defending is more about being aware of how your opponent is going to move so you can distance yourself or block his angle. Of course, this is just me arguing semantics. I just don't want people who are in plat who can defend those shots from the back to think "oooh I know how to shadow defend then"

Backwards saves are also so crucial to get from diamond to champ. So many times I rmb in the past I used to just feels backflip when opponent booms high ball over my head. I used Uncomortable Saves pack to train this.

I just started about a month ago but I used redirects not as training for my games but they were a fun way to figure out fast aerials and how to place the ball once I got to it in the air.

About the redirects thing: as soon as you can fly decently you should always be training redirects cus it helps you with your aerial mechanical growth a lot, especially for the lower ranks. In game however I agree that the lower ranks shouldn’t go for them cus they’ll just miss.

Thank you very much I'm in Virtual School and we are just getting the option to join Esports but every single time we get the game it's always rocket League last year we didn't do very well and now I'm in 8th grade and I'm really hoping to win some games this year❤

Speaking as someone who is ssl, and has been above 2k since before epic took over RL, I cannot wall dash, I can’t double flip reset, I used to really good at ceiling shots before they became so common. And yet, I haven’t deranked. I still manage to beat pros constantly, and it’s just speed and consistency. I don’t miss my shots, I’m Very good at shot placement, I win most of my challenges regardless of who it’s against. And any ssl who says you NEED any specific mechanic, hasn’t played at a high enough level to just outpace their opponents. Because That’s most of what it is, even in ssl, players miss. PROS do not miss. That’s what makes them pros. You’ll be surprised how rarely pros actually miss. You have to play really well to beat pros even in ranked when they aren’t always trying! But mechanical? Please

Thank you so much bro

I think people should only just learn the basics, half flip, fast earials, hitting the ball, and well. Being smart, positioning, rotation. Then figure out your strengths, play to them. And if you like try and improve the things you suck at if you want, or just try and rely and get in situations where you can use your strengths. I am shit at some of the very low ranked mechanics, yet I've been at C2. We're all different players, you can't be good at everything. Of course, the more shit you're good at, the better your chances of doing well. But the tiers you place stuff at is very situational depending on just what type of player you are.

I Started playing rocket and only have like a few hours on the game, and even if I don't understand a thing he's saying, I thank you since i'll use it in the future

Thank you soo much

best rl channel

It is also very good to learn how to predict what players are gonna do in early ranks

And then the final final thing to train when you master everything is to play kbm so that when you launch your controller across the room you can at least finish the match

Am a d1 that can musty, airial and do many other things but still can't rank up. And I realized the reason why is because I don't train at all. I simply don't test myself which is the most diamond thing that a diamond can do.

as a former ssl i think that the best and most important advice apart from The ones u mentioned are the recoveries

@ximaxwellix

Recoveries is the most important fundamental that everyone needs to learn. Minimizing the time you need to get back and maximizing the time you CAN (not have to) make a play on the ball.

Dude I saw that Retals vid and I went insane.

Is there a pdf/excel/word version of this tier list available? Ty!

I feel like You usually need to train a mechanic the rank before you actually NEED it so you can effectively use the skill in the rank you need to use it in. for example. practicing double taps and airdribbles in diamond will allow you to use them in champ but you will be better at them because you were already training them. same thing in champ you should learn and get experienced with flip resets for future when you are GC so you aren't behind

I wouldn’t say so. I’m currently teetering D3-C1, and as I’ve edged closer to staying in champ, I just keep getting more solid with the stuff he said to learn in diamond. The only exception I think is backboard play. That is needed in D3

@ragegaze3482

7 ай бұрын

Kind of, I feel like the learning curve for most mechanics is that you get decent at them fairly quickly they just take a long time to master. So doing things slightly above what you should is ok since you can still pick them up, but if the mechanics are too far above what you can reasonably do you will just be wasting your time.

Luke, would dominus be better in diamond because of ground play, or would fennec be for air play, i'm kinda debating but idk.

Got to diamond duos without even realising people were double jumping before their aerials, hence I was getting beat every time when I was single jumping😂as long as ur ok with the ball on the floor and have a good team mate for defence u can go quite far

Thanks this is an ego boost to us comp freestylers in 1s

if you master all the ones up to and including diamond then you are already at GC

Luke, only a little question please: Do you play Valorant? because a lot of the time if you want to demonstrate an idea you use Valorant clips, like in this video and when you explained vision in one of your last videos. 🥰🥰

Made the mistake of spending hours on air dribbling still in gold I can do couple hit aerial shots but since so many ball chasers I rarely even get the chance thx for the video

Personally I got to c1 with just ball control, good shadow defense and intelligent rotations. You really don't need more than that cause everyone in the lower ranks doesn't know what they're doing. As long as you rotate and defend well you'll get very far

I never know what to think of these videos because im keyboard and mouse in diamond and have prioritized differently as a side effect of kbm

Is normal air roll needed if I'm using left/right air roll???

Thanks helping me little by little but I’m gold and can’t get out of it man!

Luke is always looking like he just got back from the beach

Best rl youtuber

im gold and then i watched this video , im still gold but i know how to speed flip, double tap ,flick, air roll,shadow defense, im not that good with air dribbles but im getting into it and i once scored a flip reset thanks a lot for making this video it helped me out so much

Yo Luke nobody in the comments probably knows what I’m talking about but I saw that video with you in it and it was very surprising to see you in it and she didn’t even know you.

I'm gc and i dont fast aerial, flip the ball , ceiling shot or wave dash ... Maybe i'm trash but i feel like being consistent is better than having some of the mecas you mentioned

Faking helped me through platinum and diamond, guess you should learn it at that time somewhen. And not just faking for shots, more important to me was faking a charge to bait an early shot from the attacker

The pops help alot in gold too

At plat I think you should have at least half flips and speed flips, wave dashes and flicks then try to practice aerial plays

Could not agree more with the plat and Diamond, and champ too to be honest. But diamond should also learn bacboard defense. And I think hie champ can learn flip reset

"getting your jump eaten by a wall" i am a diamond and that is the most real sentence i've ever heard

I’m currently c1 and honestly after watching this think I practice resets to much over like ceiling shots

Im a D3 and i can defend off of the ceiling somehow. hard to learn, easy to use

Finally something new so I can get out of my C1 life xD

Sad to tell you that the high diamonds and low champs I play with really don't know how to rotate and don't know how to distance themselves from their teammates....

I kind of accidentally learned preflips when I was low plat and speed flipping way too much.

I am a gold player* coming back after a few years of break and I'm trying to learn how to dribble (going well btw) is this a good investment for my rank or should I do something else like speedflips or better aerial skills? *Gold in rumble don't ask why I put myself though hell.

Eu lembro que eu aprendi á fazer fast aerio e do jeito certo, lá pelo rank platina, mas eu lembro que tipo, eu só jogava casual e poucas ranqueadas, kkkkkk eu tinha sido confundido com um champion na época kakak, eu parei com o tempo de fazer daquele jeito (certo) porque eu sentia que não fazia sentido, ou sei lá, eu só ganhava os aéreo sabe.

Im a fairly new player and i have been watching a lot of your stuff. But what i feel i missed out on is how to play corners (if it exists do inform me plz) im currently playing plat II and i feel like im stuck because i throw my games because of my corners

Damn bro check out those guns

Sheesh am gonna miss him

Noooo you’re giving away the secret with the double jump while dribbling that’s my go to ground goal

Not him showing Rizzo when he says pros 😅. Love you, Rizzo lolol

im in diamond and ive seen multiple ppl do almost every move on this vid, i thought i was just waaay behind others

So when u said bound air roll left to powerslide...how u supposed to powerslide on landing when I keep rolling

your advice is the opposite of what ive seen in other SSL, like arial in plat.

I learned how to double rest in d3 because of directional areal

New players, listen to this man! Learn these mechanics at these beginning levels. Sure it is possible to rank up without them, but it is really, really, not fun. I know this because I, myself, am a Diamond and I can't even dribble. Seriously. Every single person on the field I play against destroys me in mechanics, and it is sooooo frustrating. I am trying to learn mechanics but I am old and mechanics don't come easy to me. I am diamond only purely because I just got good at rotations and game sense. I just wish I had concentrated on mechanics first instead of positioning.
