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.

Yeah, rocket league really is an independent game, it almost doesn't need updates since the skill ceiling will never be reached. I think the things EPIC is doing to the game are atrocious, indeed, but maybe overstated, since I don't think they'll listen to us. We should all be focusing on keeping the game alive and then maybe EPIC will see we're still interested in the game and then maybe they'll listen

@@TheOhWulfbro stop it. I’m sick of hearing this. A plan b is a type of pogo. The mechanic is still a pogo. Pogo is the category and plan b is a subcategory. Get it? Please spread the word

@TheOhWulf 4 ай бұрын

@@calicolombiano27 a pogo relies on a bounce from the car itself, which is why its called a “pogo” Plan b does not, the shot is in the landing. You’re not trying to pogo, Youre aiming the car to put the ball in a specific spot. The ball landing on you at the same time you land makes it impossible to bounce with the car, due to too much downward force from the ball. A plan b is without the entire pogo part and it’s still a pogo in your mind? Lol wut?

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.

@itzkiblo 4 ай бұрын

No i dont mean Dark. Dark was doing pogos mostly in 1v1s. Zen was the one really showing off these abilities in RLCS levels proving them to be reliable even on the pro scene. Dark is known for his pogos and freestyles but i wouldn't say hes the reason they became popular for pros and tbh i havent seen Dark play in big tournaments against pro level players like Zen has.

@imamalox 4 ай бұрын

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 :)

This is honestly a really, really amazing series of videos! I love them all! If nothing else, it creates a catalog of the most notable mechanics that are up and coming, but it's so much more than that. These videos are really works of art with how much detail and work that goes into them. I'm a stickler for details, and these videos go into a perfect amount of detail. And while it is going into these details, they're your works of art. The added flair you add on to the video through editing, camera angles, and pacing is just top notch! I think this is your best one yet! P.S. I know I'm generally quite critical of posts, videos, and content in general, and I don't mean to come off as abrasive. But, leaving that alone, you deserve a lot of praise for what you do! You contribute so much to the community positively.

@baumops_rl 3 ай бұрын

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.

I can only pogo consistently on the spoiler, I can’t grasp the idea of hitting the front end. I also feel like the spoiler makes more sense so you can boost back up towards the ceiling, With the front you have to flip your car back upwards again to get back up.

Still the new way of doing the ceiling shot can already be easily defended if done correctly basically first man forces de preflip the second waits con backboard and goes for the ball as soon as it the preflip happens, so obviusly this made the ceiling shot more difficult to stop by yourself but still not the greatest when defense has back-up.

Commenting before watching but I feel like the camera stick is gonna become more used. In a lot of pro play you cant really see if your opponent is challenging you, and checking to see if they do with the stick while executing more complicated mechs or 50s is a skill that I feel like could become useful with my opinion as a c2

@TeddyGoali 4 ай бұрын

Skims get so much power because of the way RL fudges physics; the greater the difference in velocity between the car and the ball the harder the ball will be hit. This makes things like volleys and powershots feel really good, but enter these skims. The ball and the car are going in opposite directions so the difference in velocity is huge, resulting is a ridiculously fast shot. Rocket Science has a video on it from way back when I think.

Wayton, I have discovered a new way to use a mechanic. If you speed flip into a controlled flick, and zap dash up to hit the ball with power, you can beat two defenders with little to no boost. I hope you can try this out, thank you for your time if you have read this. Keep up the good work 👍
