In this video, I talk about tons of various tips for how to rank up and get better in Rocket League depending on which rank you are at. The different ranks in Rocket League have different mistakes that occur more or less often than each other and they all work on different things mainly that help them get to the next rank. For example, players at gold really just need to improve their mechanics in order to get better and rank up to platinum. They also need to focus on basic rotations and not over committing. At once players rank up from gold, they will have reaching platinum which is considerable different. At platinum, mechanics become much more important. Many common mistakes at platinum relate to mechanics and going for boost too much. Players often go for boost over ball way too often which is a common phrase you've probably heard in Rocket League before. That's because it's such an essential topic to discuss in order to conserve boost and get better as a player at gold and platinum level. It's really at platinum and diamond level where players really start to grind out their mechanics and work on aerials. People often what to figure out how to aerial because for one, it looks cool, and two, it becomes a much more relevant mechanic to learn once you reach those levels. By far, the most important thing to learn to rank up from platinum to diamond rank is basic mechanics like the half flip. Recovering becomes much more important. Mechanically, platinum and diamond were definitely the two most different ranks that I analyzed in Rocket League. From diamond rank to champ in Rocket League, players really learned that they need to play faster. They started making better decisions sooner but also at a cost of not realizing that it's okay to use the breaks and still play fast. Once you get to the correct spot in rotations, you can wait there and let the play develop. Using momentum is in fact important in Rocket League, but it's more important to not put yourself in a bad spot to hit the ball for the benefit of maintaining your speed. Now, many people reach champion in Rocket League and get stuck there for months and sometimes longer. They are completely lost as to what they need to work on to reach grand champion. This is because they have learned almost everything in Rocket League that has helped them get to where they are now. There's not much else to learn. It just comes down to mastering what you've learned and being consistent. Consistency is in fact key as many Rocket League players are told by higher ranked players. Being consistent is not a tip that people like being told because it's not specific at all but it's definitely the biggest difference between champion and grand champion in Rocket League. I also talk about how playing fast the correct way really improves from champion to grand champion but still, overall, the best way to rank up from champ to gc is mastering what you already know. I hope this video has helped you climb the ranks in Rocket League. I spent over 40 hours producing this video from gathering statistics and information to organizing it and putting it together in this video in an entertaining way. This is definitely the most time I've spent making any of my Rocket League videos and I think it came out great. Hope this video helps you rank up and good luck on the grind!

Plat/Diamond players watching this video:

“Yeah my teammates always make those mistakes”

[SunlessKhan]

Nice to see a fresh take on an old topic.

"There are no tired ideas, just tired approaches"

[itsemachine]

Me: Decides to finally go back post Enemy player: Flicks a 65mph shot top left

[FLuuMP]

Ahh the good old days of going for boost over ball

[sambernard]

So happy you explained what true mechanics are. I have this argument all the time with people. I'm a 1600-1700 gc player, and I play a very simple game. I can attest to all the folks out there trying to get to GC: it requires nothing fancy. I can hit the flashy stuff, but I rarely go for it. You won't find too many clips in my saved replays. I'm super grounded when I have the option, and most of goals are just the result of being in the right place at the right time and playing smart and consistent. To me, it's the best way to play rocket league. The players I look up to are players like Kaydop and Leth. It's the play style of doing everything right and nothing more. Great videos man, glad to see you're getting some recognition.

Man this is quality. Graphics, editing, and writing...I KNOW a ton of time went into this. I like your data method that actually put numbers to it. Also, man where are your mid-roll ads? Should have had at least 3 in here.

[lauran]

As a plat player this actually helpfull : )

[litlooees]

Wayton: I fear no man, but that thing
*FRONT POST* it scares me

[BgScry]

When he said "it's okay to make mistakes" that it. Such a fresh breath of air from all the toxic players telling me I'm trash because I'm learning. Thank you Wayton. Ily.

[jayzesty]

You deserve this new wave of following. This type of analysis takes a lot of time and energy. We see you putting out work you care about and truly want to help us. Thank you and keep it up man, you’ll go places.

[Thanovic]

Man you are a god, love the channel, love the tips, mad respect for you and all your hard work bro! Excited to watch your channel blow up fast!

Roses are red


Violets are wack


now get to the post


THE ONE THATS BACC

[proxi]

As a C3 hovering around div 2-3 I can vouch for the “small mistakes being punished”. 90% of the time a match is lost because of 1 player being positioned a little to far from net and a boomer rips the net. Then 3 minutes of back and forth before the match ending 2-1

[Jallahz]

The ‘consistency’ is actually a true thing. I was stuck in c3 for the longest time, just cause I kept playing and kept playing. Now, I’ve been a GC since season 6, and taking short breaks between playing helpt me stay consistent and not making stupid mistakes. Normally I play 2-3 games, then a 10min break (not even free training) and then start playing another 2-3 games etc.

I really hope you make it further on YouTube. You are on of the best Rocket League Youtubers and deserve to get more attention. This video just like all videos of you that I have watched was really informative and just overall great. I am happy to see you having success and gaining more subscribers because you simply deserve it. Keep doining videos and you will hopefully get there soon. Much support from me and all your Subs ❤

[itsBAY]

As a Champ 2, this made me happy to see that even at GC back post was still the Achilles heel 😂 I'm always beating myself up whenever I get scored on for not being back post and my buddies don't get why. It's such an easy thing to do, that's why it's so frustrating to get scored on like that because you just feel stupid 😂

[chewie]

No one:
Wayton: Go back post stupid.


For real though that is such a useful tip that helped me. After seeing your other video on decision making, ive gone from gold 3 to plat 3 in about a week

[wesleyboynton]

I have never in my life heard of Wayton Pilkin but this video is lit and I smashed that subscribe button immediately. It's always great to discover another content creator whose presentation (including vocal phrasing and delivery) is as comfortable and solid as their analysis.

Seriously, good shit. Keep it up. I really enjoyed this.

[gaminggamer]

Im not kidding with this, yesterday and maybe 1 hour ago i was d3 div 1 and then i went on a win streak keeping what he said in mind and i got to champ. im very thankful for his tips as they really worked for me! love your vids man keep it up
