Rocket League |OT2| I'd Rather Watch The EUROS Than Play

Okay. I haven't tried wall-air-dribbles/wall-plays/mini-freestyles for more than two+ months. I gave up on them back then. Today I thought that I could try 'em again. I tried for 5-10 minutes and I'm astonished at what I'm already capable of.

My steam name is "thekeypit".

I think I've had enough of this style of shooting: http://imgur.com/IMsHtNQ

Back to normal.
We got Kuxir up in here. Very nice dude.

That's why I'll start asking here now: Who wants to build a decent team on PC that will aim for Champion ranks in Standard? I'd find it okay if we were able to get a couple of matches going from time to time.



If I ever crack a jackpot I'm out of that casino as fast as possible :D
I'm down to play, but I'm wildly inconsistent in skill. I'm also doing NaNoWriMo so my playtime is reduced this month.

after hitting rising star on the ps4 I thought why not fire it up on the PC, so I did the placement matches, the horror, trust no one.
 
This game is so pretty.

So after putting in countless hours into this game and playing for about a year I've only found out today that it's possible to enable 8xMSAA and increase anisotropic filtering via one of the games files. I've become content with using FXAA high (MLAA sucks) and just accepted the jaggies and shimmering. Now it's like I've gotten a pair of glasses and the game is a whole new experience.

For those unaware like I was the instructions are:
find the TASystemSettings.ini which is located in here:
X:UsersYOUR USERNAMEDocumentsMy GamesRocket LeagueTAGameConfig

When you found it open with Notepad or some kind of text editor.

In the TASystemSettings.ini change these lines:

MaxAnisotropy=4
MaxMultiSamples=1
bAllowD3D9MSAA=False
to these
MaxAnisotropy=16
MaxMultiSamples=8
bAllowD3D9MSAA=True

Make sure you save your file, and you're done. Apparently the same file allows you to enable temporal AA as well but I'm not too sure how to properly tweak it / if it actually works.

Man, I really hate playing in the Veteran + range. People get super salty on both teams, and it's really sucking the fun out of the game.

Though it was fun when this one guy gave me shit personally, then I scored on him 3 times in a row the next game and he quit early.

I tried it again as it's something I tried in the past. I still get the visual artifacts when I do this. I get really noticeable black outlines around the honeycomb on the walls of some stadiums, weird lighting artifacts on other maps, ect.

The underwater map looks amazing, though.

Yep. Enough to kill it for me.

Division 5 shooting star now in 2s. Scared to try and progress. I think I've plateau'ed using M+KB.

ive seen champion kb+m
don't do it, please X_X
he hit his peak finally.

*champion on current system, we got to 990 points in 2s, which is superstar 5ish or low champ
he totally hit a consistency cap though which is actually why I quit RL- I didn't wanna find another guy for ranking up in s2
 
^^^ I thought that too (further out was better) but then tried Lachinio's settings (one of closest) and never turned back. I do think you lose a little with dribbling in terms of the narrower peripheral view but aerials / dribbles, wall game, shooting -- pretty much everything -- feel better to me with a closer view.

Probably a subjective thing but I definitely recommend trying a closer view to anyone who hasn't before.

I am having problems with lag in game just now, my ping seems good but about every 30 seconds I get about 2 or 3 seconds of bad connection and end up warping to another section of the arena.

I am not sure if it's my Internet, it's really annoying and ruining my enjoyment.

Anyone else having problems like this in Europe?
 
I have a serious fps issue with this game which is pretty much stopping me from playing. I'm running a 980ti, 6600k oc'd to 4.4ghz and 16gb ddr4. I get locked 144fps when im in free play mode but when I join a match I get a drop of about 30fps per car on screen. If I play 3v3's I literally get about 25fps.

I have no performance issues in any other games and I've tried re installing the game. Help! :(

I moved the camera closer to the car, and my God I am loving it. It has made me more precise ( and more constant ) - it's just easier to do fine-tuning now.

Yep. I feel so much more control now.

non optimal play bothers me so much
not even high level, just back line goes to clear and someone rotating back hits it lightly to the side thinking 'oh my turn' when its not

Sounds like a driver issue. Have you tried updating or rolling back??

starting back over is fun.
just hit semi-pro. 12-4 record, 39 goals, 7 mvps. I wonder if I can keep this rolling when I hit Challenger (doubt it)
 
So a while back someone mentioned that Doom has a great soundtrack to play RL to. I've not played in a while, but I did try the Doom soundtrack a while back and did pretty well with it. However I'd like to recommend this. Makes a nice change of pace for music to play to and I feel it's influencing my play in its own way just as the Doom soundtrack did.

It took me like 300 hours to get reasonable at this game. Just attempt aerials, positioning and other things will come later

Don't worry about it at the moment, but, lets go through my roadmap-
- get consistent at ground shots. This is essential- if you can't do it on the ground, you can't do it in the air.

There you go
Low level advice. Come back next week for the next few steps (Actually serious-- people trying to learn aerials 5hr in aren't going to do okay, it really only worked for those of us coming launch week since no one knew how to stop aerials so it was a free goal every time)

^if you're following an okay roadmap/trying to improve it won't take that long, plenty hit top 100 within 500 hr. I hit what's currently superstar 5-champ 1/2 in 300 (albiet in s2, saying raw score)
Just play a loot

I don't know the overall opinion about this, but if the ball is on your side of the field then there better be a god damn goalie in your net. Most goals that I experience happen because there is noone in the net or close to the net to save the ball.

in 3s, sure. but even so, there shouldnt be a "goalie", just a defender. 2s thats extremely unfeasible.

Yeah one of my biggest gripes is when someone thinks they're helping by sitting on the other side of the field, sniffing their own farts, watching us play 2v3 on offense, then not even getting the save when it finally comes their way.

You're not helping. Get in the game and rotate.

I'm talking about 3s and about rotation. If the opposing team attacks your corner, you should have a guy ready for the clear. If he misses, you should have a guy ready to step in and so forth.

The reason why I made the post: I was ready for the clear and lost a 50/50 situation and all I think is "np, teammates got your back". Nope, the ball goes past the corner and the first teammate that was just sitting there and into the goal. The second guy was somehwere on vacation trying to get boost in the other corner.

There aren't many players who can get that perfect attack/defense balance. They are too conservative or too aggressive.

My playstyle is more like 65 conservative / 35 aggressive.
