Which Rocket League mechanic is the best? Air dribbles? Flip resets? Flicks? Preflips? In this video, I figure out which Rocket League mechanic is actually the best by using hard fact that cannot be argued against.

If you have played Rocket League for a long time like I have, there's a good chance you've at least tried each of these mechanics once. So you probably have an opinion on each of them. Today, I share my own and you get to see if yours line up with mine. If you want to see more tier list videos like this, feel free to let me know and share a topic that you would like me to make it on!

Makes me wonder if Wayton just sucks at saves. When I make a couple back-to-back saves that I had no business making, it feels better than an air dribble or a solid passing play.

I disagree with one placement: saves. Though these are often forgotten and almost never saved as a replay, they quite literally change the outcome of games constantly. Being solid at defence is extremely beneficial competitively, and can even play a part in the downfall of the opposing team. Otherwise, I agree 100% with the rest of these!

Great vid! Although I know it might seem redundant being that you included wave dashes, I think another mechanic to talk about would be recovering and different recoveries in general. Being able to recover your car in awkward positions and get right back into a save/shot/pass is pretty satisfying and with new recovery mechanics being discovered like corner dashes and landing wave dashes there’s still a high skill cap for being able to always recover and keep momentum in RL.

@proturtle6374 3 жыл бұрын

I personally think that demos are great when used in cool and interesting ways like airdribble demos and flicking it and then demoing before the save and such. The only time demos are bad is when the player doesn’t even think about going for the ball once, and just spawn demos. That kind of player is what gave demoing a bad name.

For the demo one, I have opponents who try to demo me and it messes up their rotations meaning goals for my team. I had an enemy in 1s today who did this dribble demo strategy and everytime he tried it i scored a goal. When enemies do succeed in a demo, demos are so annoying and you go to a random side on your half (rng)

A couple things. 1. JZR is about as consistent a pincher as there is and hits them about 1 out of every 3 tries. If you want to see a master, he’s always my go to. 2. Would you consider a preflip redirect to be it’s own mechanic? Virge in particular comes to mind with this. The speed he gets with his preflip redirects is actually nuts. If I had a single correction to add it would be maybe considering this as a different mechanic. Oh you left out pancakes, which is fine, just wish I could have seen it next to chain resets. I haven’t seen an actual Ganer clip in over a year and a half. I guess even he got tired of them. Great video as always. 🤝

Fast aerial is the only misplaced one in my opinion, as it is one of the earliest, most essential and most used mechanics in the game. You'll use it more than any other mechanic in the game.... I mean you have to imagine "How many games would I win or be viable in without this mechanics?", without fast aerials that puts you out of all game play plat or above. With those arguments, I must say, I think "Fast Aerial is S tier"

It's the same adrenaline as scoring a cool flick

The only things I would have to disagree with are demos and saves. Sure playing against a demo knight means their rotation is messed up and we win, nut being constantly targeted and killed causing me to reset is just annoying so maybe C or D. Saves should be A tier they are a core mechanic and there can actually be amazing saves like off the way aerials, muffin saves, dribbles saves and more. Just my opinions as a Champ 3.

I don’t really disagree with the list, except for maybe the fact that a mechanic is by strict definition, pretty much a way to move your car, like a flick being a car movement in a certain way. Things like passing are more situational and game sense, while the actual mechanic is the ability to send the ball towards your teammate or in the net, after you’ve already made the decision to pass.
