Almost everyone who plays Rocket League hops into casual matches daily, but I avoided them almost completely for years. There was a point in time when I was around platinum rank and I had a choice to make - do I want to try and be a freestyler, focused on scoring fancy goals and clipping on people or do I want to get the top rank Grand Champion? Obviously many people achieve both, but I found that playing casual actually hindered my progression and by only playing ranked matches I allowed myself to become more used to the pressure, verse players of a similar skill consistently, dedicate time to learning new mechanics in freeplay, custom training and workshop maps instead of casual, bypass the issue of having players leave regularly and improve my warmup routine. Make sure to consider what you want to achieve by playing Rocket League, and make your own decision on whether or not you want to continue playing casual Rocket League games.

I try to have an improvement mindset in casual; trying to focus on pushing my comfort zone and improving specific skills
That works too! It’s different for everyone so if you find that helpful then that’s perfect - keep it up!

Bro, you are going to be one of the greatest Rocket Lesgue Channels, just keep it up and it would be great
I appreciate the kind words Efer! I’m glad you like the content and thanks so much for the support.
Casual is a way less fun experience than Ranked from my personal experience and I see a lot of the reason why. It's just everywhere. People are quicker to play risky and reckless but equally just as quick to be toxic and teammate blame as Ranked. Also I wish I could get the ones who just leave. I tend to get the guys who won't ff but afk and/or start assisting the opponents.
You were right about the casual. I remember when I was C1 in S9 and still didnt played training much. But it hit me that if I wanna improve or get to GC one day I had to leave. And ever since I left it, I dont miss it. Ranked is now my main mode to go. I got my 1st GC in S11 but that was rumble. S12 was the peak season. Secured it in 3s, Snowday and Rumble and same for S13. S14 I achived Dropshot GC as addional one which by far hardest one.
And now here we are, Season 1. Im GC in 3s but the greatest achivement is SSL in Rumble and Snowday (top 30 atm). I have no chance getting SSL in 3s this season but I will keep improving nonetheless to hit it one day. Other than that, great vid.
That is great to hear man, and congratulations on SSL and Top 30 - that’s huge! Are you on my discord server? I may have a couple questions for you, there’s a link in the video description if you’re interested. I appreciate the support!
@@slyk Thank you! It was a grindy journey to SSL Snowday. Que times were a pain mostly. I joined the discord server.
I usually play casual matches as a warm up, but today was so bad day I didn't even go to ranked. Out of dozens, I won just one match. And I blame the terrible matchmaking for it. More than a half of the matches, I was put in as a backfill. That really feels like the game punishes me for no reason, because instead of playing an equal match, I am expected to turn the tables in a very short time. Reward ? 100 XP ... Pathetic, I could get more by playing since the beginning, and a better feeling and experience on top of it. Also, those matches I am put into are already decided one-sided pubstomps, with one team winning by a least 3 or 4 points. For the other half of the matches, I am put into a solo queue team, against a full-party team, many times from the same club. I know that parties don't necessarily guarantee a victory, but they certainly have some more synergy (that's why they're in the party afterall), and may be even communicating via Discord or Teamspeak. Playing purely solo queue matches is incredibly rare.
Backfill sounds theoretically like a good idea. In ranked games, it really infuriates me when a teammate leaves the match, and the game punishes me for that by lowering my rank (why do I play this game ?). But backfill could only work if players were given the choice to decide whether to play as a backfill (and be rewarded for it), and if the system correctly assessed whether the match is lost or can be yet saved.
I also just read on Reddit that this matchmaking problem is 3 years old, if not even older (again, why do I play this game ?).
NOTE: bots are super terrible.
I only play casual with my friend staying in like gold 3 but Im just chilling at diamond 2. So I dont really want to get upset with them loosing a game so i just enjoy casual
Fair enough! As long as you're having fun then I don't see an issue!
hey, they added some casual mode changes where its slightly more similar to ranked with forfeiting and matchmaking bans, what do you think about it?
Yeah I definitely think it's headed in the right direction!
Now I know why my casual 3s are champ while I’m plat 2 in ranked😑
hey i was just wondering, what's the song of your outros? Loving your videos.
It's called Midnight Swing by Jules Gaia! Glad you're enjoying the content!
what if i play casual bc its a way i have fun and do not gett shit talked by my team8 bc i missed ball once and its chill
Keep it up, great vid, this should have more views and hopefully it does 👍
Thanks so much for the feedback Kreemy! Glad you enjoyed, we're on our way up!
I liked seeing this.
I’m Gold 3/Plat1 and I solo Q casual 3’s most the time. I’m constantly against Champs, GCs and the occasional SSL. usually in teams. It’s ridiculous but i try.
Then I try a ranked match against Golds and it’s like little kids playing soccer. 🤦♂️😄.
All people do is go into casual and play like its grand Champs while I want to have fun..... Now people ask why I dont play the shity game
Hey just some criticism, sometimes the music is too loud and overlaps your voice. I can still hear you but for a better viewing experience you should try to balance it out at all parts of the video :)
Thanks so much for the feedback Logistic! In the last 2 or 3 videos I’ve uploaded I’ve started adjusting this to make the music volume lower while speaking as a few people mentioned this but I’m definitely going to keep working on it. Thanks so much!
you deserve to be so much more popular keep up the good work dude 👍
I appreciate that. Glad you like the content.
Would love to see some replay analysis. Perhaps 1 replay analysis per rank starting at gold or plat. I imagine bronze and silver wouldn't be very beneficial to analyze. Those ranks are really just about learning to control your car and getting some needed experience. GC point of view is very beneficial. :)
Hey! I think you’ve read my mind. These are coming starting tomorrow or the day after :) Thanks so much for the suggestion!
@@slyk Looking forward to it! :D
Earned a new sub! Great content bro
Thanks so much Tyler! Glad you like the content.
nowadays there's not much difference between casual and comp since so many smurfs everywhere, you don't get to play vs players of your skill level really. It's so annoying
I love playing casuals with my brother and trying to go for “cool clips” even though I am plat 1 and can’t do any cool mechanics. But the question you asked made me realize I want the high ranking titles. Getting the base mechanics down and getting in higher ranks means that I will be able to hit cool shots if I switch back to a casual mindset. I am plat 2 in doubles and only have 3 days (time played) and I feel that is impressive but I want to reach champ and grandchamp one day. Is it true that the more time you put in makes you better? Because I get mad at myself for missing shots and say that if I had more time in the game I wouldn’t have missed that but is it true?
Absolutely. The only way to improve in this game is to dedicate the time. Practicing in freeplay and custom training and also playing matches. Above all though, the game is meant to be fun - so do whatever brings you the most joy. Good luck!
You should make a video that goes over the top 5-10 skills needed to improve in 1v1.
Thanks for the idea Arctic!
I’m plat 2 in ranked and I don’t play ranked, and I play mostly casual. I checked my casual mmr and it was in the 1700s and I can keep up with low gc’s.
I only play casual
Casual MM has been a mess for a long time, they do it on purpose for sure. It's broken by design.
How are you so good with so little subscribers damn your underrated
We’ll get there! Thank you so much for the support - if you know anyone who would find the channel helpful be sure to share it around!
@@slyk at least your trying! I hope for the best
its different in higher mmr lobbies tho
When I play competitive I only gets lucky kids who wears antena and caps, and when we are winning they score like 3 goals in 15 seconds and then they what a save us.
Ngl to you i cant just because of freestylers doing triple flip reset musty flicks on me every time I'm tryna warmup or relax
I play some casual to improve my flicks but I cant even cath the ball because most of the opponents are ballchasers, same thing for aerial play. So I guess there's no point to play casual focusing on improvemet.
You won’t improve if you instantly blame teammates
I bet there's gonna be a ton of plats who main casual who say: oH BuT I mAiN CaSuAL aNd I hAvE 2K mmR iN iT
Like just go play ranked ones xD
NOTE: Great vid Slyk!
Haha there's bound to be! Thanks for the support Adam!
@@slyk Your welcome Slyk! :D
Btw for the new challenges play drop shot
I don't completely agree with this but you give some real concret arguments. Nice vid
But what if you have high ping?
What do you mean? Are you on the servers located closest to you?
@@slyk Not really sometimes i am in Mexico or US and I have internet in both but the ping changes very weird
Sometime is around 140 and other times is 200-300 and i am scared that it will ruin me in rank
Why the fuck is casual harder than ranked?
People don't play the same in casual as ranked, plus your casual mmr is different than ranked so there are a lot of variables that may make it more difficult.
The only mode I play in casual is 1s
Slyk you gonna use some of my ideas that i send you a long time ago
I've got a big list of items suggested and also those that I came up with and I'm trying to work through it and prioritise certain ones etc. but I'll try!
@@slyk ah okayy
Make a bot 3v3 lobby then make a montage of the bot goals
I don’t want to demote, it’s just fear stopping me lol
I hate ranked my teammate literally left right when the game started
Now I’m gold 1 div 2 before I was gold 2 div 2
I know exactly what you mean, and that's my entire point 2 in the video. By playing more that fear and pressure will gradually go away. Unfortunately the only way to get over that fear is to take yourself out of your comfort zone.
@@slyk yeah but it’s hard
@@slyk wait when does the season end
@@slyk I might play ranked a lot next season
I’m actually not sure, I think in a few weeks. And yes I know it’s hard, I used to be exactly like you. But you can do it man!
I only play ranked in game tournaments 6 man's and school tournaments
I love playing casual when everyone is mistiming jumps don’t know how or barely do aerial.
Mostly I agree with your statement, but the part about casual being a bad training method is simply false in my opinion. Yes, you could just do training packs but tell me this, if u have 8nf boost and no opponent defending, ur not rlly training all that much. It won’t matter if u can hit the greatest of mechanics without players to defend because you won’t get the sense of how to weave and confuse the opponents. Doing casual as a way to train makes you get more game sense and actually lets you apply the skills in actual 1v1s. Take me for example, I’m gold 3 and I mostly used to main training packs, I can hit shots like air dribble double taps, musty and more in free play that but whenever I go into a match, I can’t do them. TLDR is that training in casual gives you an understanding of the environment when you try to practice skills. Good video though ❤
They made it even worse this season
Freestyle is more fun slyk
That's not the case for me, but a ton of people think that way - which is great! :D
0:20 that was a questionable shot
My casual mmr is 700 higher lol I don’t play ranked much
Rocket league rarely get me someone my level or better
Your mic is a little too quiet
tell that to Justin who’s 3k mmr in cas
My guy ur wrong u can get penalized for leaving a casual game which is such bullshit like it’s casual why shoudl I get penalized for leaving like what if I wanna leave a casual game that going 11-0 and I’m on the team with 0 points I shouldn’t be punished for leaving but ranked I understand
gamesense warmup in casual 😂 avoiding casual for warmups may or may not have been a mistake
hol up i got to reason 4
Casual is less stressing
Notification squad where you at?
Poggers
i only play casual because rl is a game and i just wanna enjoy it
I play casual for a lot of the reasons you complain about. I want to play kids better than me. Ranked is so much easier afterwards. Its also nice not to feel like a mistake ruins the whole game.
4500 hours,, thats like playing 4 1/2 hours a day for about 3years..
and this was 7 months ago
Its brilliant
It's quite a lot...I'm with you on that one for sure.
I feel like people in casual are more competitive than in actual comps
In high mmr casual the level is kinda good, and there is no pressure.
If you enjoy casual then by all means play it, I can definitely understand it. Just personal preference I guess :D
@@slyk yeah thanks 😁
I don't play casual bc i play ps4 so theirs bots that seem like people so it's not even fun it's like dead by daylight bc it only has ranked thats what rl on ps4 is like not worth playing casual sucks bc xbox casual is norm no bots real people
U should play casual it allows u to relax practice pressing buttons around the field and go for difficult shots
I tend to just warm up in freeplay. To be honest I'm pretty consistent now nearly at 5,000 hours. I tend to be solid without needing too many warmup matches, but it's great if you enjoy casual!
Ranked is more casual than casual
WHY ARENT YOU GETTING MORR VIEWS
Grrrrrrrr
We’ll get there! I appreciate the support - be sure to share the channel and videos around if you know anyone who would find them helpful!
the whole "casual = bad" mentality is pretty pathetic
Ok
I met you in game and you made my day! btw subbed as I promised.
Fattypicdumpling my ign
Thank you so much man! Loving your energy, keep up the grind - if you are looking to improve definitely have a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/gBSVR1Gvo9Y/v-deo.html
i used this advice and i went all the way from plat to ssl in just 6 hours
Early af
Ayyy that’s what we like to see! Hope you enjoyed.
@@slyk I did and thanks for the guides on how to get out of certain ranks because of you I went from silver last season to almost diamond this one
That’s crazy! Good work man, keep it up - glad I could help!
@@slyk keep up the good content and thank you
