25 MISTAKES Every LOW RANK Makes... ROCKET LEAGUE

In this tutorial, I cover 25 mistakes everyone Gold through Champ makes in Rocket League and how to fix them.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━

FULL DISCLOSURE
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most Youtubers.

I don't want to take cheap brand partnerships or sell you a $50 course... although I'm sure I could make more money if I did either of those things (and there's nothing wrong with people who go that route).


Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.

How I got here…

🔹16 yrs old: Switched to uploading Fortnite videos on this channel. You can go to my uploads sort oldest to newest to see all of my old Fortnite videos
🔹19 yrs old: Rocket League went free to play and my channel blew up. To keep up with the demand for coaching, started the Grand Champ Roadmap --a rocket league course business
🔹20 yrs old: Developed company and continued to scale course business. Eventually, I dropped out of school to pursue Youtube and the company full-time.
🔹22 yrs old: @Virge joined as director of coaching to further improve the coaching experience and help us make more free Rocket league content that is accessible to everyone.

Today: Coaching is how we make our money - not youtube videos or courses.

To all the people trying, failing, and hustling to make their dreams come true, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. Don't let other people, their opinions, or their stones bring you down.

Do you,
Luke

I'm C3 and a lot of these tips I know, but still can't get my brain to commit to all of them in the fast pace of the game. It's still great to have someone remind me so I can try making all of them muscle memory. Unless your SSL, no reason to skip over your content. Thx Spook

I've seen so many tutorial videos where it was mentioned that holding jump and then flip is better, and it was always obvious that it's right. However, this is the first time I actually found out that holding jump actually EXTENDS the flip window. Great stuff Luke! Thank you so much!

[jonathancook]

First of all, let’s give him huge credit for how hard he worked for this video. This is really helpful, and I never knew how much mistakes I have been making. I’m a Plat, trying to get to Diamond and Champ, so this is really helpful. TY do much!

[KitBits]

I always play with my friend, together we went from mid gold to low diamond over like a year or so. Not too much progress, sure, but we’re having fun and every step forward is a step forward to be proud of

[sebastian-jgyv]

Honestly another thing I notice when I defend in aerials, I just tend to try to pretend i’m trying to score on my own net… I usually miss my goals and it helps lol

[brokenvr]

Thanks Luke!
I just realized how many mistakes i was making without even realizing it, i knew i had bad habits, but i never realized the things i thought were good were not beneficial. Though still probably end up solo queuing cause my friends dont play rl.

About the defense i think its even better to learn this than attacking first, obviously its more satisfying to score goals but the fact that everyone want to be that one guy is a problem and an advantage too, i started by learning and practicing defense instead of attack so yeah i can miss alot of scoring opportunities but i rarely fail to defend, i have 40h and i am currently p3/d1, i now need to practice my attacking skills and especially my ball control but being a good defender knowing than most of my teammates will be able to attack anyway is an advantage when in the ennemy team they both can't defend correctly (and they can't in plat/low diamond)

And it also resulted as improving alot of things that will help for attacking so it's even more a win, i will take less goals + improve more since i will almost always be the defender -> more occasions to defend = more improving

[gunnergamer]

looking at discord I realized you have everything setup so easily and simple it is really well done. You deserve to be much bigger than 300k subs for all the hard work you put into this stuff. well done

[LETSGETCUBING]

I was solo queing in a gold lobby as a gold suddenly coming across a silver that could air dribble, flip reset, speed flip on kickoff and wall dash FLAWLESSLY!!! WHATS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?!?!

[Fortnitemike]

Bro please make more of these you don’t understand the impact on my game. I’m genuinely crying bro I reached champ🙏 thank you so much this does magic

[mariusjenkins]

In response to #2, I am diamond and can't shoot for shit, but my defense is pretty solid... I usually have more saves than shots, and my shadowing and bumping to stop a push are both pretty solid... I just can't handle the pressure most of the time when I have a chance to shoot and end up tensing up and choking...

[worldsworstyoutube]

None of this made sense to me. I need a dummy guide.

[jonathancook]

As a low plat, I love watching these, and watch myself develop better skills and react to things better.

[AndreRQL]

In truth, many elements from Rocket League coincide with football/soccer. If you understand the sport's basic rules and can read the game, it definitely helps you in many situations.

Take "shadow defending" for example. In football, when you're a defender in a 1v1 situation, you don't wanna rush your decision. Instead, you wanna stay frontal with the attacker and just follow his movement waiting for the moment to strike

[Tenlatch]

Being totally honest. If it wasn’t for spook, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I haven’t payed for the course but just these videos help so much.

[canscter]

Him: The corners are very safe.
Me: Yes, except when your teammate(s) LITERALLY GIVE THE OPPONENT A CROSS FROM THERE

[TelesphoreArt]

After watching this video once I was able to rank up from bronze one to bronze three division four. Thank you for the tips.

[kader]

Just wanna say ur editing is crazy idk if it’s u or ur editor but whoever they are is crazy

[EfeekGuestGaming]

As a champ, the only mechanic i’ve ever practiced is defense. The best shot i’ve ever hit are good 50s and angles. I highly recommend using defensive mechanics more than offensive.

[Kojo]

Seeing one “Wow!” From a teammate makes me root against my teammate and I want us to lose. I’ve just turned off all non tactical chat now and it makes the game sm better.
