The 5 Mechanics That Will Become The META In 2024

Rocket League's META is continuing to change every year so it's about time we talk about the Rocket League mechanics you can expect to see more of at the pro level in 2024. Rocket League's skill ceiling has still not been met so new mechanics are still being utilized and perfected. These are 5 mechanics that will become the META in 2024.

Special thanks to Virge, Mizu, Durtho, PRSTN, and Wuzy for helping me brainstorm ideas to talk about in this video!

The RLCS continues to look different every single year. With the new format and players still improving all the time, it's time to talk about the mechanics that will be used more this year. If you want to get ahead of the curve, you can even try learning these Rocket League mechanics for yourself. If you have different predictions for this 2024 I'd love to hear those as well!

It's wild to me how crazy new mechs are getting nowadays. Let's hope that continues since it's one of the only things this game has left.

[Feffe-jo]

Wayton is like the Rocket League wikipedia page

[itzkiblo]

Its crazy how many of these mechanics are popping up bc of Zen alone. Before Zen nobody was expexting constant psychos. He took moves that seemed inconsistent and made them consistent which is what made him one of the best players and now everyone else is following.

Very good collection of mechanics, agree on all of them. I'd say that the recently discovered Luther flick will also become the meta once pros realise how versitile and useful it is. Being able to pinch a rolling ball to over 110kph+ consistently while also giving it a noticable change in direction is very powerful as well as unexpected. I hope there will be a pro that learns to do it consistently :)

The fact that Alpha54 has been doing ceiling shots like that for literal years and other pros are only starting to do it now is kinda crazy

5:28 I do this dash every day when I open the game, and I remember seeing AppJack doing it as a celebration after a goal, so I always called it the App Dash, but I guess he might not be the first player to do it. I love it so much, it looks clean af

[fknGandalf]

6:51 this hook shot was also a perfectly accurate speed flip

[glopple]

I always love this videos because its super interesting, but what's funny is all of these mechs have been used by mechs for freestylers for years. Pros really need to start looking at freestylers for new metas because they come up with such useful mehcs.

Always a great video from Wayton. I wish we could have 1 or 2 a week but I know they are hard to make and take time to edit. The quality is always so good we all just wish there could be more Wayton to watch.

Watching this on the day of the EU RLCS and what you know Joyo hits a sidewall. Love the content keep it up!

[itsIouie]

Always enjoyed this content! My defense is insane because I see and know when my opponents are going for these plays on me! Hard for me to learn thos wall dashes and certain mechanical plays. But knowing what other people can do to you is clutch for perfect counters

[baumops_rl]

Those pogos with the ball on top have been done by the freestyling Community for quite some time now, they called them Plan B, while a pogo on its own is/was just done without the ball. I think its generally impressive to see mechanics that have been used by freestylers for years, are now used in way faster pro lobbys. Same thing for ceiling pinch doubles, sidewalls and psychos.

[KingRanny]

Perfect video wayton, love how much zen has pushed the boundaries forward

[......H]

Well put video, and these short clips that illustrate the shot are really good. Thank you!

[VasLG]

The legend is back, with a banger video. Love it!❤❤

[sheldonholland]

I have something to say, some pogos are actually a mechanics called plan b, a plan b is basically a pogo but u pogo when the balls on top of the car, this can be used offensively to go in the net, or to continue a play or a freestyle shot when u need a recorvery.

[SpookLuke]

This is Rocket League video masterclass

[Piktro]

Joyo had a nasty sidewall double earlier today in the qualifiers. So satisfying.

Wayton, i'm a caster from SAM and yes i do believe Dark-like movement is the future because he almost seems to cover for a 4th player sometimes... the increased saving potential and demo chances is massive. I myself highlighted that fact a bunch of times on our last broadcast and it's cool that people are noticing too and that you are creating awareness on these mechanics

[simmyfeldbum]

I few days ago I was playing ranked with my friends (we are both gold) and I hit a crazy phyco straight into there net, not even knowing what it was at the time
