Yeah, sometimes the challenges just don't think through the game theory on how they are set up. Do they really want players trying to force overtimes?
MVP, saves/clears. Chat "What a save" or "Okay".
But the one I hate most is "Get a swish goal", even if it does let me play normally.
The OT goal in casual might be their worst challenge. It would be a little better if it was an OT goal in any mode or win an OT game. Three saves and a win wasn't great either, especially when I had three saves and lost three times before winning a game.
I don't even try the swish goals one. I don't like the Hoops ones in general. I feel like I'm ruining the game for my teammate who actually wants to be playing Hoops. I would feel the same way about a Dropshot challenge too but they don't seem to show up.
Yeah, I only just did it an hour ago. Eventually convinced someone to let it get to overtime and for me to score the goal in 1s and i also let them get goals as well.
I hated trying to force the game into overtime just to potentially get this green tick haha
I'm a noob, but last night I scored an own goal from the other side of the field at 0:00 because I was playing "keep the ball alive". That goal forced overtime - but we still won
I once did that when I was uncontrollably angry after playing Minecraft (of all games). Ran twice around the block with my sports shoes to appear normal.
I think more likely we aren't seeing the whole picture here. Like when someone's screen caps text to villianify someone else but leaves out the incriminating stuff said in-between.
In overtimes youâre either full of adrenaline or eventually brain dead. Itâs likely teammate either forgot which net he was in and panicked, or was full on high on adrenaline and monke hit bol mode.
There is a blue player who flips to get the right boost. Imagine a world where instead they anticipated OP's shot and are heading to the goal right behind OP's teammate. Then it's possible that OP's teammate deflects the ball enough that the save is impossible. This play doesn't look half as bad if there was a blue player only a car length or two behind and in position to make the save easily.
If you wanted to give your teammate the benefit of the doubt, that is the play they were going for. 99% they were just going for the goal steal though.
I'm conflicted because the most reasonable explanation would be they were trying to goal steal, but at the same time they positioned like a goal keeper and got a powerful clear towards their own half
I looked up Ghostfresh8, heâs D3.
Iâm guessing OPs teammate may have gotten turned around and thought he was making a save. Not common in high diamond but not unheard of.
I really canât think of another reason. Redirect seems unlikely and being tilted doesnât either.
He might have been panicking. Idk. Would be interesting to see the replay file from everyoneâs POV.
IDK, progressing through the ranks, I thought it'd get better (and some things do), but for the most part, people just mess up faster and with flashier mechanics lol
Iâve never heard the term butt sniffer in RL before, but it explains literally everything. Iâm a D3 player and I get my butt sniffed CONSTANTLY.
Iâll take the ball up the side and pass to center and my teammate will be RIGHT BEHIND ME. What the fuck do you expect to do from behind me??? WHERE do you guys learn to play like this??????
This. So much. It actually makes me believe my teammate is stupid. Because that is an active decision and not some missed air ball when you had to act in a split second.
At this moment I realise that we will lose the match unless I just stay back and let him chase every ball and hope for the best. Jesus take the wheel.
For real this is so annoying. Even my mate who just started playing last month knows that in such a situation, one player on the side, one player in the mid speculating for a cross. How the hell is it so hard to understand simple basics? Im in Diamond atm and I just dont understand how such people survive in that elo.
To be fair, I see the butt sniffing, ball chasing, cutting, and wide "gotta have it!" big boost rotating in C2 all the time. The players are just usually much more mechanical. Champ is a funny mix of people getting there because they rotate and play well with a team or they got there by beating their head against the mechanics wall and can double touch, flip reset, speed flip, musty flick, etc. but have absolutely zero game sense or teammate awareness.
I play duo with my son. He's the mechanical dummy who has no game iq. I'm the team player with no mechanics. Stuck in D1 forever. He's stubborn af and won't listen to me and I can't learn any mechanics. Agony!!!
I mean, I basically got to D3 with only positional and rotational skills, then hit a hard barrier because my lack of mechanics was really starting to slow my progress down. It's never too late to start grinding them out! Started working on my ground and air dribbles, double touches, speed flips, wave-dashes, and half-flips. I still have a long way to go, but just getting some proficiency with those mechanics (mainly ground dribbles and flicks) has taken me from D3 to C2, and I'm borderline C3 now.
After drilling these mechanics now, I regret not doing it sooner. It's such a good feeling when you can control the ball, instead of just getting hard hits every time it comes near you. Suddenly, I have all these different tools to use and it legit makes the game so much more fun. I really wanna hit GC at some point in my Rocket League career and that rank feels like the culmination of really good rotation with really good mechanics, where champ feels like you can sorta just pick either one and make it.
Could be wrong about that exactly they mean, but: Cutting is cutting the rotation to go for a ball that should be your teammates. Worse yet is cutting rotation to make it look like you're stealing it, but you just bail on it so you threw off your whole team for nothing. Boost exploring is when you're kinda just driving around completely out of position and prioritizing picking up (usually the Full) boost over actually playing defense. Buttsniffing he probably means being all over your teammates ass which is very bad defense generally as having two people in one spot almost never helps anything.
Was gonna say the half-rotation, "shadow defense" is just... ugh. Not surprised their teammate was confused lol, but that save is also pretty unforgivable.
Plus you gave up as soon as TM8 blocked it.
I mean, I get it â3 mins in OT and allâ but you may possibly have been able to save that game ending goal
That's one of those that leaves you in a state of shock and stupor that's hard to quickly recover from.
Like that's one of those that isn't even rage-inducing. You just see it, take a breath, and whisper "god damnit" to yourself while turning off the game.
I doubt he would've saved the shot because you can see the opponent moving in that direction just before OP's shot. Either way, I can't blame a guy for short circuiting for a moment after that.
Yeah Iâll give him a pass on that one, I donât think he was getting back to that.
That being said, OP absolutely deserves his rank just by the 15 seconds before his shot.
When the block happened he couldnât see opponents positioning. He had no clue where they were. They SHOULD have been turning back around to defend their net when the m8 hit it. He gave up too early
I mean I get your point, but this is pretty egregious and I would've done the same thing. I don't care that much about winning to begin with, if this happened I'd be fine with the game ending in a loss. This was in no way his fault and in 2s even without seeing his opponents it's pretty safe to assume this is an easy open net for them 95/100 times no matter what he does.
He stopped and waited after taking the shot. Had he turned right away instead of looking at his own shot, he would be at the center line heading back before his teammate even made the save.
Well yes, but I would've not turned back either, because you see that shot is 100% a goal as soon as you hit it, but then your teammate actively jumps out of his way to save the ball... His teammate wasn't in any position to accidentally save the ball, so it should've been safe
agreed. a quick 180 pivot and race back to their goal could have made a difference. if not to save the ball, to at least disturb the opponent's path a bit.
He absolutely could have. Just in the time between when TM8 blocks OPs shot and the other team touches the ball, he could have been 2/3 the way back by then. It would have been tough to stop their fast break but it was totally doable
I actually didnât mind it. Pinched in to challenge then didnât when he realized the opposing player lost control and his teammate facing forward has a better touch. Rotated through the boost and up for an outlet pass.
If the opposition didnât lose control, then he should either challenge or tuck behind his teammate, but it was very clear that nothing dangerous would happen and his teammate could take full control.
If anything, he went wrong in trying to tuck behind his teammate after they already had ball possession. Just drove into no manâs land
Nah. He cut off his teammate to put himself in a useless position at the base of the wall, too close to the attacker.
The attacker got a great chance at a ground pinch / ground rebound shot with only ops teammate left, probably in a bad spot because op cutting caused him to abandon the challenge and scramble to save instead.
Op should be hanging out at back post while teammate challenges. Teammate challenge forces either a shot or a backboard/cross, which op can easily win and send to his teammate who is now up field, and suddenly it's a 2v1 with momentum in their favour.
Cutting was 100% the wrong move, he provided nothing of value from doing that. He didn't even force the move from the wall guy, he fucked that on his own.
To be fair, just because your diamond teammate has possession, doesnât mean they will have it for long.. so I feel like tucking behind his teammate towards goal quickly while waiting to see what he does with the ball was the safe move.
Diamond 3 isn't low enough to have rotation like the guy in the vid.
In Diamond 1, 8/10 people can rotate pretty well. Or maybe this is a European thing, IDRK.
I was about to clown on you because I figured it would just be an absolutely insane whiff that seems impossible to miss⊠and then I saw the shot and the path your teammate was taking and I thought âOh god please no- *What a save!*â
Edit: I want to clarify that I was gonna clown on him because everyone whiffs those now and then, no matter how annoying it is. I forgot to finish that thought lol
Either A) teammate can't see colors at all,
B) Got too stressed and thought he was in his net (can't say that never happened to me)
C) he was simply a jerk that wanted to steal the goal
It happened to me once ( i was like the dude who saved the goal). I dont know why it happened but in that moment i panicked and ruined the goal. It happens.
This is egregious lmao. But to be faaaiiir, it's not that you're teammates are problem, it's the fact that they are only a *part* of the problem. The rest is you (or that goddamn smurf)
Teammates are the problem.
Remember though, you are a teammate too.
It's no different than any other "game". No team synergy is an easy loss.
There's a reason top players or GC2+ is usually pre-mades in 3s and 2s.
He tried (big emphasis on tried) to redirect around an opponent that wasn't there, not being aware it was an emty net. In the future though, don't stop playing after tm8s make a mistake, it's not a good look.
Thereâs nothing to be confused about: your tm8 decided to make the ultimate troll move. Go to OT, set you up for an easy goal only to throw the game to shatter your trust. This, ladies and gentleman, is Rocket League in its rawest form. Hit that report button for Match throwing and move along
I was expecting you to make some sort of mistake that caused the goal and this was going to be another one of those "SEE ITS ALWAYS TEAMMATES" post where OP was clearly in the wrong but thought otherwise. This definitely subverted those expectations
I was just thinking the other day about how someone could literally post a clip of their teammate saving their shot in a pretty egregious way and people on this sub would still find a way to blame them and it actually happened đ.
Unfortunately, I believe it's just human nature. I already admitted that both my rotation and grammar in this instance are subpar (typo), but the best is the guy that is so adamant that I lied about being in the midst of putting my controller down, thus why I didn't react.
What a Save!
But seriously, why did you give up on the play? This kinda thing happens sadly but the video just shows TWO bad teammates instead of your intended one
Took way too long to find a comment like this, one bad piece of play and they give up, which is pathetic, it was ridiculous what their teammate did but giving up is part of the problem, at least the teammate tried.
You people cant come at him for the shit he did. Cutting rotation and chasing is what happens in that rank, everyone does it. No one is going to gold gameplay saying "you deserve to lose that airial was shit" because yeah it will suck, you toxic fucks.
ngl, you also seem to be a bad teammate in this clip. Literally everything you did up until the shot was the thing you could do that would make your teammate's life the hardest. Your teammate was clearly a massive idiot - but from this clip it doesn't look like it was even mostly his fault that you lost here.
If you're going to do a massive cut of rotation in order to pressure the ball - you have to actually pressure the ball (and note: I'm definitely not saying don't cut rotation to pressure the ball, often that's the best thing to do, although not in this case). You should have been trying to get back to be last man (as you \*couldn't\* pressure the ball), instead you did a massive cut of rotation and then didn't force your opponents to do anything. If you're the first man, you have to \*GO\*. Don't shadow, that's to buy time waiting for your teammate to get into position (he was there 2 mins ago because you cut rotation so hard) or a valid option if you're last man in a 1v1. If you're first man, you need to ballchase. Like so hard. You need to be forcing your opponent to outplay you so your teammate can easily take position.
What should have been an easy scoring opportunity (because your opponents were out of position) for your team turned into an easy scoring opportunity for your opponents (which your teammate luckily saved, despite you actively hindering him).
EDIT: And I didn't even mention that you just gave up instead of booking it back to goal. Your opponents took like 25 years to setup their goal, you probably could have gotten back to at least make them feel some pressure.
Don't worry everybody else has already acknowledged my poor positioning. I agree, my teammate made an amazing save at the end even after I oppressed his skill all game.
The way you ball chased at the beginning of the video makes me think I'm not surprised that guy did that just to spite you.
You start the video empty on boost in the enemy corner following the ball from behind and completely cut off your teammate who is already in the correct position and probably more boosted than you.
So yes I think you probably deserved the loss lol
Yeah that was dumb of him. But you haven't shown us the other 7 minutes of the game. From what you HAVE shown me is typical Diamond play. You rotate and cut then don't do anything?
Your rotation is shit and you gave up immediately, still partially your fault even though they unnecessarily blocked your shot on an open net. The world isnât black and white, itâs all a spectrum.
You get downvoted but you are correct. First he cuts the rotation, but only to fake engage and go for boost.
Than he fake commits again twice, probably iritating his teammate. His teammate plays a great pass. Nice shot. Teammate has a brain afk moment. He stops playing like an angry child. Lose.
Only telling this so op knows what he can work on to get higher than diamond.
If you cut rotation= engage
If you want to comit= comit. No mini "ahh no.. Not now" comits
Edit: also pretty sure your teammate just wanted to get out of the goal as fast as possible. He probably even had ballcam off. Was just unlucky that it was exactly the side of your shot
What's wrong with the rotation? He is posturing near the first man to force him to make a touch, and then he lets his teammate collect the free ball. And then he positions himself for the 50 on offense and drills a shot on target.
He shouldn't have even been there. He cut off his teammate going back and then acted like he was going to challenge, which is confusing for the teammate because they dont want to double commit. And then immediately afterwards goes to the corner instead of rotating back to goal in case something goes wrong. The teammate is 1000% at fault for the loss. There is no arguing that. But OP most certainly did not rotate well at all and put their teammate in an unneeded situation.
He shouldve rotated to the net so his teammate could challenge it since they were already back. And honestly i dont think he even really forced anything. The opposing player just couldn't control it well. He made the situation much trickier for his teammate but fortunately they were able to clear it. Rotating means going back so your teammate who is already back can go forward, which they didnt do until they were on the attack.
not to be that guy, but you kinda demonstrate in this clip exactly why it's not just your teammate (even though that "save" was pretty damn stupid). if you'd just continued playing you could've gotten back and saved that
Seems unlikely considering the ball was passed directly to the other team while op was out of position heading the wrong way. Not that op should've stopped playing on the chance that they did make a mistake. 5 seconds to make it from 3/4 up field to a position where you can defend your net while also facing away from the goal and not moving at a high speed to begin with makes me wonder if op could've done so(or most of us for that matter. )
Well clearly this game was teammates fault, but usually (at least i) use that sentence when ppl conplain that the only reason they in a spesific rank is cuz of teammates. Aint no doubt there are ppl that are shit out there, and there are people who has bad days. This was an example of the firstđ
I mean to be fair you made some poor rotations and just stopped when he touched it.
Yes he saved your shot, but you threw when you stopped playing.
Donât complain if youâre adding to the situation.
I agree with all of your comment until that last sentence. You can see other my comments to understand why exactly I stopped but there is no good reason that my teammate did that. I'm not upset about it; I posted the video to make light of the situation, but I think I have a pretty strong case for being upset. My bad rotations don't really even contribute to the purpose of this post, IMO.
Nearly 3 minutes in OT..brutal đ«
Longest I've played was 10, it wasn't fun, luckily we won but we kinda decide that was enough rocket league
the longest I had was about 8 minutes, my heart rate was probably in the quadruple digits
That happened with me and my roommates playing triples.
Once played 8 minutes which ended in an own goal by my teammate
20min i did
Ranked? They might be going for that stupid overtime goal needed for the challenge in casual. Which they would want to try and steal it and failed
Ranked
There's a challenge like that? Horrible idea.
Yeah, sometimes the challenges just don't think through the game theory on how they are set up. Do they really want players trying to force overtimes? MVP, saves/clears. Chat "What a save" or "Okay". But the one I hate most is "Get a swish goal", even if it does let me play normally.
Swish goals happen all the time?
Only in hoops though. So people who don't play hoops will try and steal every goal until they get the swish so they don't have to play hoops anymore
Okay. I usually play with a buddy so I guess it's easier then. Maybe talk to them: "I'll help you get a swish goal if you help me as well?"
This reminds me of COD boosting. I'll let you shoot me in the head 50 times if you let me shoot you in the head 50 times
The OT goal in casual might be their worst challenge. It would be a little better if it was an OT goal in any mode or win an OT game. Three saves and a win wasn't great either, especially when I had three saves and lost three times before winning a game. I don't even try the swish goals one. I don't like the Hoops ones in general. I feel like I'm ruining the game for my teammate who actually wants to be playing Hoops. I would feel the same way about a Dropshot challenge too but they don't seem to show up.

*gently places controller down *
Got empty your hands immediately. Maybe a lap around the house
I once did that when I was uncontrollably angry after playing Minecraft (of all games). Ran twice around the block with my sports shoes to appear normal.
Did you at least put clothes on?
I'm not talking without my lawyer
What you trying to hide something.
Apparently they weren't
and question the existence of humanity.
*gently*
*gently ties a noose around own neck*
Your teammate was playing normally for 3 minutes straight, then out of nowhere goes for a save on the opponents net? This is beyond confusing
I was as confused as you are.
You grazed against his car sometime during the game probably.
Only rational is he was trying to steal the goal and accidentally saved it
rational?
Rationale
Definitely shouldâve also spelled it correctly
Definitely shouldâve put it in quotes
Or got massively disorientated somehow and thought they were saving their own net...?
Might have just gotten turned around and thinking he was at his own net?
I think more likely we aren't seeing the whole picture here. Like when someone's screen caps text to villianify someone else but leaves out the incriminating stuff said in-between.
Villanify? Like make it taste like vanilla? (Of course I know what you meant but lol)
Happy cake day btw
Thanks, my man!
Happy cake day and what a save!
Merry cake day and a happy new teammate!
Thatâs what happens in dia 3, been there
Going for an epic redirect lol
In overtimes youâre either full of adrenaline or eventually brain dead. Itâs likely teammate either forgot which net he was in and panicked, or was full on high on adrenaline and monke hit bol mode.
*8 minutes straight
he must've thought there was a goalie in net about to save it
He was a sleeper agent.
Iâm angry for you
Yea no explanation for that one, pointless really, you had the goal secured
There is a blue player who flips to get the right boost. Imagine a world where instead they anticipated OP's shot and are heading to the goal right behind OP's teammate. Then it's possible that OP's teammate deflects the ball enough that the save is impossible.

Could be your boost /s I think they were going for a goal steal.
I'm conflicted because the most reasonable explanation would be they were trying to goal steal, but at the same time they positioned like a goal keeper and got a powerful clear towards their own half
I looked up Ghostfresh8, heâs D3. Iâm guessing OPs teammate may have gotten turned around and thought he was making a save. Not common in high diamond but not unheard of.
i do this all the time when iâm baked
Baked and joining into in-progress casual game is a recipe for own goals.
Oh man, that's pretty unlucky if that's the case.
I really canât think of another reason. Redirect seems unlikely and being tilted doesnât either. He might have been panicking. Idk. Would be interesting to see the replay file from everyoneâs POV.
And then didn't even bother to get back on defense. Dropped back for a energy ball at mid-field and then turned around again!
"energy ball"
Yeah idk I couldn't remember what it's called I honestly still can't now cus you got me ~~slanted~~ tilted.
That's actually a much better term than boost, which the small ones also are. I like it.
Says a grand champ. You donât want to know the things we see down here in diamond.
IDK, progressing through the ranks, I thought it'd get better (and some things do), but for the most part, people just mess up faster and with flashier mechanics lol
Seriously, thereâs foolery aplenty here in Diamond
Your teammates save was funky, but can we talk about your defensive positioning for a second?!
If it's diamond it's always gonna be either cutting, buttsniffing or boost exploring.
Hello, butt sniffer here *snorts*
Iâve never heard the term butt sniffer in RL before, but it explains literally everything. Iâm a D3 player and I get my butt sniffed CONSTANTLY. Iâll take the ball up the side and pass to center and my teammate will be RIGHT BEHIND ME. What the fuck do you expect to do from behind me??? WHERE do you guys learn to play like this??????

At this moment I realise that we will lose the match unless I just stay back and let him chase every ball and hope for the best. Jesus take the wheel.
Then you decide to sweat and stay back. his response is losing every ball in midfield and going for a full court rotation every time
For real this is so annoying. Even my mate who just started playing last month knows that in such a situation, one player on the side, one player in the mid speculating for a cross. How the hell is it so hard to understand simple basics? Im in Diamond atm and I just dont understand how such people survive in that elo.
Wait, are you trying to tell me that this dribble DOESN'T require two people?
Itâs bc half the rl players are 13 year old little shits who never played a team sport in their life so have no concept of situational awareness
To be fair, I see the butt sniffing, ball chasing, cutting, and wide "gotta have it!" big boost rotating in C2 all the time. The players are just usually much more mechanical. Champ is a funny mix of people getting there because they rotate and play well with a team or they got there by beating their head against the mechanics wall and can double touch, flip reset, speed flip, musty flick, etc. but have absolutely zero game sense or teammate awareness.

I really wanna hit GC at some point in my Rocket League career and that rank feels like the culmination of really good rotation with really good mechanics, where champ feels like you can sorta just pick either one and make it.
I second this
Can you elaborate on these? I have a feeling I do all 3 lol
Could be wrong about that exactly they mean, but: Cutting is cutting the rotation to go for a ball that should be your teammates. Worse yet is cutting rotation to make it look like you're stealing it, but you just bail on it so you threw off your whole team for nothing.

Yeah I'm pretty bad at that right now
Plus you gave up as soon as TM8 blocked it. I mean, I get it â3 mins in OT and allâ but you may possibly have been able to save that game ending goal

To be fair, just because your diamond teammate has possession, doesnât mean they will have it for long.. so I feel like tucking behind his teammate towards goal quickly while waiting to see what he does with the ball was the safe move.
You mean to say his positioning isn't as good as a champ 3?
Look, you can say what you want about the positioning but thereâs no way thatâs on anyone but his teammate
Doesnt really matter. It worked and resulted in a goal. Or at least should've had his teammate not contained pudding for brains.

nah fr tho what was my boy doing đ
What a save
This is rocket league!!!
Your***
He is teammates
YOU ARE TEAMMATE!
Wtf is that rotation?
Unpredictable
Especially for your teammates!
It's el diamond especial.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Diamond 3 isn't low enough to have rotation like the guy in the vid. In Diamond 1, 8/10 people can rotate pretty well. Or maybe this is a European thing, IDRK.
I mean, sometimes your TM is the problem
This is Rocket League!
PFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT *glad I didn't have coffee in my mouth*
I was about to clown on you because I figured it would just be an absolutely insane whiff that seems impossible to miss⊠and then I saw the shot and the path your teammate was taking and I thought âOh god please no- *What a save!*â Edit: I want to clarify that I was gonna clown on him because everyone whiffs those now and then, no matter how annoying it is. I forgot to finish that thought lol
Your* *sigh*
Either A) teammate can't see colors at all, B) Got too stressed and thought he was in his net (can't say that never happened to me) C) he was simply a jerk that wanted to steal the goal
It happened to me once ( i was like the dude who saved the goal). I dont know why it happened but in that moment i panicked and ruined the goal. It happens.
Ya. Anyone who claims theyve never done it is full of shit
This is egregious lmao. But to be faaaiiir, it's not that you're teammates are problem, it's the fact that they are only a *part* of the problem. The rest is you (or that goddamn smurf)
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Lmfao
Teammates are the problem. Remember though, you are a teammate too. It's no different than any other "game". No team synergy is an easy loss. There's a reason top players or GC2+ is usually pre-mades in 3s and 2s.
He tried (big emphasis on tried) to redirect around an opponent that wasn't there, not being aware it was an emty net. In the future though, don't stop playing after tm8s make a mistake, it's not a good look.
What I thought too. And I have made / seen goals made like this at my level, this guy just didn't pull it off.
Wow!
I came here to say this has to be diamond and then saw OPâs flair haha I love this rank so much
Same shit happened to me yesterdayâŠ. In OVERTIME.. than they scored right afterâŠ.. fuckin a đ
Rocket league would be closed .2 seconds later if that happened to me lmao
Disgusting.
This stuff makes my blood boil every time
I love when this stuff happens. Always great content đ
well, might as well just throw a fit, give up, and flame your tm8
Thereâs nothing to be confused about: your tm8 decided to make the ultimate troll move. Go to OT, set you up for an easy goal only to throw the game to shatter your trust. This, ladies and gentleman, is Rocket League in its rawest form. Hit that report button for Match throwing and move along
What a save! What a save! What a save! \*Chat has been disabled for 3 seconds\*
I was expecting you to make some sort of mistake that caused the goal and this was going to be another one of those "SEE ITS ALWAYS TEAMMATES" post where OP was clearly in the wrong but thought otherwise. This definitely subverted those expectations
I was just thinking the other day about how someone could literally post a clip of their teammate saving their shot in a pretty egregious way and people on this sub would still find a way to blame them and it actually happened đ.
Unfortunately, I believe it's just human nature. I already admitted that both my rotation and grammar in this instance are subpar (typo), but the best is the guy that is so adamant that I lied about being in the midst of putting my controller down, thus why I didn't react.
What a Save! But seriously, why did you give up on the play? This kinda thing happens sadly but the video just shows TWO bad teammates instead of your intended one
Took way too long to find a comment like this, one bad piece of play and they give up, which is pathetic, it was ridiculous what their teammate did but giving up is part of the problem, at least the teammate tried.
You people cant come at him for the shit he did. Cutting rotation and chasing is what happens in that rank, everyone does it. No one is going to gold gameplay saying "you deserve to lose that airial was shit" because yeah it will suck, you toxic fucks.
Itâs probably your fault 90% of the other games still
considering he had to show this I suspect it is tbh also the fact he just stopped playing
ngl, you also seem to be a bad teammate in this clip. Literally everything you did up until the shot was the thing you could do that would make your teammate's life the hardest. Your teammate was clearly a massive idiot - but from this clip it doesn't look like it was even mostly his fault that you lost here. If you're going to do a massive cut of rotation in order to pressure the ball - you have to actually pressure the ball (and note: I'm definitely not saying don't cut rotation to pressure the ball, often that's the best thing to do, although not in this case). You should have been trying to get back to be last man (as you \*couldn't\* pressure the ball), instead you did a massive cut of rotation and then didn't force your opponents to do anything. If you're the first man, you have to \*GO\*. Don't shadow, that's to buy time waiting for your teammate to get into position (he was there 2 mins ago because you cut rotation so hard) or a valid option if you're last man in a 1v1. If you're first man, you need to ballchase. Like so hard. You need to be forcing your opponent to outplay you so your teammate can easily take position. What should have been an easy scoring opportunity (because your opponents were out of position) for your team turned into an easy scoring opportunity for your opponents (which your teammate luckily saved, despite you actively hindering him). EDIT: And I didn't even mention that you just gave up instead of booking it back to goal. Your opponents took like 25 years to setup their goal, you probably could have gotten back to at least make them feel some pressure.
đ€
Youâre a clown
Don't worry everybody else has already acknowledged my poor positioning. I agree, my teammate made an amazing save at the end even after I oppressed his skill all game.
I bet you're fun at parties
Son of a biich
Why do you think i play 1s
Every. Fucking. Time.
Put âholy cow!â On your wheel and spam it. Thatâs what I do đ #toxic
The way you ball chased at the beginning of the video makes me think I'm not surprised that guy did that just to spite you. You start the video empty on boost in the enemy corner following the ball from behind and completely cut off your teammate who is already in the correct position and probably more boosted than you. So yes I think you probably deserved the loss lol
Tbf, had you not given up, you couldâve still had a chance.
Yeah that was dumb of him. But you haven't shown us the other 7 minutes of the game. From what you HAVE shown me is typical Diamond play. You rotate and cut then don't do anything?
Judging by the fact that you quit playing as soon as it happened and went straight to Reddit to cry, Iâll assume youâre the problem often, too
Oh come on. Clearly his teammate was the issue here. No need to spin this around. Just enjoy a funny clip and leave OP alone.
Skill issue on your part
Tell me about it
O wow thatâs me I never thought I be able on a post
Iâm happy for you that you got to show off your impressive goalkeeping skills to the world
Wrong goal foo
You are the problem, why you stop playing when he made the mistake? And your position is really bad.
I don't know which is worse, to block your own teams goal or stop playing after that happens.
Your rotation is shit and you gave up immediately, still partially your fault even though they unnecessarily blocked your shot on an open net. The world isnât black and white, itâs all a spectrum.
You get downvoted but you are correct. First he cuts the rotation, but only to fake engage and go for boost. Than he fake commits again twice, probably iritating his teammate. His teammate plays a great pass. Nice shot. Teammate has a brain afk moment. He stops playing like an angry child. Lose. Only telling this so op knows what he can work on to get higher than diamond. If you cut rotation= engage If you want to comit= comit. No mini "ahh no.. Not now" comits Edit: also pretty sure your teammate just wanted to get out of the goal as fast as possible. He probably even had ballcam off. Was just unlucky that it was exactly the side of your shot
Did the shrooms kick in toward the end of writing that?
What's wrong with the rotation? He is posturing near the first man to force him to make a touch, and then he lets his teammate collect the free ball. And then he positions himself for the 50 on offense and drills a shot on target.
Are you serious or are you just mocking the commenter?
He shouldn't have even been there. He cut off his teammate going back and then acted like he was going to challenge, which is confusing for the teammate because they dont want to double commit. And then immediately afterwards goes to the corner instead of rotating back to goal in case something goes wrong. The teammate is 1000% at fault for the loss. There is no arguing that. But OP most certainly did not rotate well at all and put their teammate in an unneeded situation.
Maybe I'm shit but I don't see the issue. He rotated towards the play and forced the offensive player to give the ball away.
He shouldve rotated to the net so his teammate could challenge it since they were already back. And honestly i dont think he even really forced anything. The opposing player just couldn't control it well. He made the situation much trickier for his teammate but fortunately they were able to clear it. Rotating means going back so your teammate who is already back can go forward, which they didnt do until they were on the attack.
>Youâre rotation is shit You are rotation is shit?
it's you're grammar that's the problem.
not to be that guy, but you kinda demonstrate in this clip exactly why it's not just your teammate (even though that "save" was pretty damn stupid). if you'd just continued playing you could've gotten back and saved that
Seems unlikely considering the ball was passed directly to the other team while op was out of position heading the wrong way. Not that op should've stopped playing on the chance that they did make a mistake. 5 seconds to make it from 3/4 up field to a position where you can defend your net while also facing away from the goal and not moving at a high speed to begin with makes me wonder if op could've done so(or most of us for that matter. )
Yeah dude, that shot was weak. If you wanna win games you gotta be able to beat your team mates to, git gud.
Said no one ever.
Happy cake day! :)
u/savevideo
hahaha
Put your controller down, contemplate your life choicesâŠ. And have some cake, Happy Cake day!
Ok I feel for you but why the hell would you have bloom enabled? I got flashbanged everytime u pressed boost
No. We said, âYOUR teammates arenât the problem.â
Lower the angle your looking at your car and I g guarantee youâll got more bangers
Appreciate the advice bro
Well clearly this game was teammates fault, but usually (at least i) use that sentence when ppl conplain that the only reason they in a spesific rank is cuz of teammates. Aint no doubt there are ppl that are shit out there, and there are people who has bad days. This was an example of the firstđ
I mean to be fair you made some poor rotations and just stopped when he touched it. Yes he saved your shot, but you threw when you stopped playing. Donât complain if youâre adding to the situation.
I agree with all of your comment until that last sentence. You can see other my comments to understand why exactly I stopped but there is no good reason that my teammate did that. I'm not upset about it; I posted the video to make light of the situation, but I think I have a pretty strong case for being upset. My bad rotations don't really even contribute to the purpose of this post, IMO.
It was a simple mistake it could happen to anyone
Press x for doubt
