Ah yes, Rocket League solo queue; it's quite an interesting experience. On a hyper-competitive level, it's the best way to improve because it helps players learn and adjust to various playstyles. But on the laxer side of things, well, it's fun to play with friends and totally not fun to run into players who spam quick chats. Take the Shot! Take the Shot! Take the Shot! I always like to meet players in the middle when it comes to my coaching, but most who submit gameplay for review want to be put through a higher-level lens. I'm grateful I can provide this, as I used to compete in the top 48 RLCS as a player and have coached in the top 16 RLCS for the past five years. In today's video, I'm reviewing a Grand Champion II player who recently dropped to Grand Champion I, so a little bit of a loss streak. They're a natural 1st man who loves to play fast and aggressive for booms, cuts, and demos. I described this as Boom & Chase, which is a specific outpacing playstyle used to set up teammates and score easy goals. This player submitted a solo-queue Ranked 2s game with a teammate that was more aggressive than them; I didn't know that was possible! Often, they were forced to be a 2nd man, which left them in uncomfortable situations due to their lack of game sense and the mechanics required for the role. For the average player, it may look like their teammate was ball chasing, and honestly, they were. But remember, good ball chasing is good, and bad ball chasing is bad. Their teammate was consistently losing ball control, 50/50s, pushing out of rotations (at the wrong time), and rotating on the ball side, which didn't set up this player properly to follow up on their offense, shoot on the net, save the ball, or challenge in the midfield. It's important to focus solely on the player, not their teammate, because it's all about improving individually, as that will allow this player to rank up through the Grand Champion ranks to Supersonic Legend. I covered two core topics, opposites (yin yang), to be specific, to help this player deal with future teammates who play like this. I initially started with a 2nd man playstyle because that was an obvious solution to their problems. It's a simple workflow encompassed by patience and consistent decision-making. I wanted them to play defense at the back post, goal line, or backboard to balance out their teammate's hyper-aggressiveness. Save the ball or pick up their teammate's lost 50/50 or ball control (there was a lot), and then transition up the sidewall or midfield via air dribble 50/50s. Eventually, this'll lead to double touches, flip resets, and other creative freestyle mechanics. Create their offense, but not with the intention of scoring; recover; steal a boost; rotate through small boost pads; position in the midfield; and then retake a 2nd man position. It's a rinse and repeat cycle with priorities placed on recovery and boost management, as I saw this player leaving rotations and over-rotating to the defensive corner boost, which then created a lot of space on the field that then led to compounding 2nd man awkwardness. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I wanted them to play just as aggressively as their teammate, which is more natural for them as well. Essentially, match crazy with crazy, with the goal of rotating tight around a teammate and reducing space to enable non-stop offensive pressure. This may also feel better for their teammate because they typically want someone to follow them up aggressively. All in all, my objective with this review was to help this player become more well-rounded and flexible enough to adjust to any teammate regardless of their playstyle. I'd love to see them make a quick jump back up to Grand Champion II, but I strongly encouraged them to narrowly focus on improving individually instead of increasing MMR points, as that'll often lead to them ranking up.
