The UNSTOPPABLE Form Of Rotating In Rocket League:
Back post rotations are thought by many to be the best form of defensive rotations in Rocket League. Even at the highest level of play in RLCS, a version of back post rotations is followed. Back post rotations in Rocket League are easy to learn but hard to master. However, you can start learning them at ANY rank any already see your skill and rank improve. When I started rotating at the back post, I went of 4 ranks in 1 season compared to just 1 rank in my previous season of Rocket League. The main misconception of defensive rotations in Rocket League is that defending in the middle of the goal or at the front post is the best spot to defend. That is 100% untrue. In real soccer, for a goalie, the best place to defend is at the front post. However, unlike in real soccer, Rocket League cars have boost and they don't have designated positions like a shooter and a goal keeper. This is why rotating in Rocket League is essential to having good team chemistry. There have been Rocket League videos made in the past about back post rotations but they haven't done the best about explaining every aspect of why, how, where, etc. in my opinion. In this video, I tried to use my editing skills to make it as clear as possible what back post rotations are, why they are important, what makes them useful, and why other forms of rotating may not work in Rocket League. The thing about back post rotations is that they are strictly meant to be for defense but they can be so useful that sometimes you can easily turn it into a free goal if you do them right. The best way to do this in my opinion is to have someone wait slightly up field for a pass. Sometimes it can be hard to get a clear on defense on your own in Rocket League so having someone there slightly up field to pass to can be extremely useful for relieving pressure and starting a counter attack. Multiple times a session, I'm able to get a few goals using back post rotations and having someone slightly up field to pass to on a redirect clear. It can catch the defense way off guard and be a really good transition on to offense in Rocket League. As you reach a higher and higher level of play in Rocket League, you may start to realize that normal back post rotations don't always work. This is largely because plays at that level happen so fast that you need to cut corners and realize when that's okay on defense in Rocket League. The pros in RLCS are extremely good at this and it's the main reason why people struggle to go from high level grand champ game play to pro game play. But overall, back post rotations in Rocket League are extremely useful for getting you out of the ranks of gold, platinum, diamond, and even champion if you learn to master them.

Random guy: hey how’s your day going?
Wayton: go back post
Xd
Lmao
Lol
"Where on the screen do you think backpost is?"
Me: If the ball is left then on the right if the ball is right then on the left.
Wayton: *WROOONG!!*
Feels bad
exactly how i felt too XD
That’s right though
that's me haha
Facts I was like shit. both
As a gc I’d say back post isn’t even the post itself. For me, it’s about one car length away from the back post lol
Baller video man, well edited and great points across the board. Ill finally get that diamond reward😉
Sir classy with only 5 likes on a comment that is sad, I'm a fan btw

Yoo the edit is unreal I like the anlizing drawings on the scenes really helps to understand how I need to think and how to look at things. Thank you.

Thanx a lot for the effort you put in to make the video with all the arrows and lines. I’m between gold 2 and plat 2. This will help me a lot. And my team.
You're very welcome!
wow, i don't even play RL anymore but UA-cam recommended this to me, very entertaining, i used to be Champ, and i knew about rotation but never thought about the importance of going back post, very interesting, thumbs up, and subscribed !
Amazing video, I think it's the first time I see backpost rotation explained SO WELL. Thanks!
As someone who has only just started playing Rocket League, this may be one of the best tips videos I've ever seen. Editing was perfect and the instructions were so clear and precise! Thanks for the advice!!
With the new free play stuff, I've come up with a little game. Every 5 seconds, you press the Defend Shot button. Best if you press on 0, and count out loud 1,2,3,4,5, 0. Your goal is to save as many as possible, grabbing what boost you can, and keeping back post so you can react to the shot. Also tests your clears/recoveries, since if you don't get good ones, you're left saving a close and difficult shot. Obviously turn off unlmtd boost.
Seriously underrated content creator! Keep it up, your future looks bright lol. Your sub numbers will go up in no time
Wayton out here making the best educational rocket league videos. No joke I've watched a lot of channels, I think yours is the most concise / relatable. As a Champ 2 / Champ 1, these videos are perfect
Yoooo! Thanks for this video, found it after I watched your video on positioning with a midi keyboard. This is super helpful and gave me a better understanding of how rotations should work
This was super useful! I was c1 and had no idea what front post was and now I'm c2. Loved the visuals they helped out a lot!
I wish more players know about that in D2 3s... On other hand I need to work on the 'make you available to pass' as the one who shots the pass or the one who takes it, it makes the teamplay better and so the fun.
Seen a couple of your vids and I’ve subscribed. Hopefully you get the following you deserve these videos are super well worked and edited. Appreciate all the help
I just found this video and man. It really opened up my eyes to my own position errors.
"Time to rank up". Nice. You should make a series "Time to Rank up with Wayton Pilkin"
Best video I’ve ever seen about rotations, amazing work man.
Really love your videos. I’m only gold but your tutorials have been helping me a ton. Keep it up man and always remember to go back post 🤣🤣🤣
You Help Me soo much I Got From Gold 2 to diamond 1 because of your videos, Keep up the great work man!!
I'm high champ 3 and honestly, it amazes me how I don't know so many basic things like this, I've always managed to rank up purely based on 2 things I'm good at, reading when my opponent is about to make a mistake and being fast and accurate with aerials to beat anyone else to a hit.
Teammates gonna be so proud that I finally watched this video 😂 been stuck at Gold3 Plat 1 for so long I was ready to pull my hair out. Meanwhile I've just been rotating to goal. I am so excited to utilize back post.
1700 GC here, and this still applies but its up to you to determine the optimum way to go about rotating back post. Sometimes you have to cut rotations cause you know your teamate will be slower to the ball. Speed is everything at higher ranks. Being slow means wasting boost and missing. Missing is 70% chance the other team scores off your mistake. Great video though!
Area of coverage is a very good and easy to understand term
Honestly, the moment I did this, I won 10 matches straight, scored so many times, saved countless times and enjoyed the game so much while playing on keyboard! 10/10
Great video, I was starting to use back post, but i never thought of my teammates and their positions on defense. This will definitely help.
On the note of boost (for higher level play), sometimes it’s also good to boost starve the mid boosts while you’re on defence. E.g if you took an aerial challenge or a 50 and are already up field a bit steal the boost and go for a demo just like you would if you were on the offensive. I recently have been doing this and it’s made a massive difference
This video is amazing, honestly is the 3rd time I watch it. And I send to a lot of friends hahah
So no joke, after implementing the things in this video I went from Plat 2 to Diamond 3 in 6 days. I always thought my rotation was decent, but obviously I was wrong lmao. Ty Wayton!
I learnt this recently, and my games improved a lot.
Thank you!! Finally a video on rotating that makes sense!!
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm so sick of people defending off the walls on nearly every play looking for some RLCS off the wall across the whole map aerial and fucking it up nearly every time putting me in a terrible defensive situation or whiffing their wall hit
This is good. Definitely need more videos explaining this kinda stuff. You should make one on how and when to share the ball. How to keep proper presser on the other team. Stuff like that.
great video. I've watched so many Tutorials and tactics videos, that my game sense is way higher than my current rank. but my mechanics and the lack of game sense of my Teammates wont allow me to rank up
I've been playing rocket league since 2017, and I had no idea on these strategies. Thanks for the tips!!!!
Happy to help!
@@WaytonPilkin Wow do you still read replies? Awesome!
Very well done …. Everyone needs to understand this concept.
Great job, Wayton
The biggest skill gap is understanding what's gonna happen beforehand. In example, not going up field when you have 1 teammate back and a defender is close enough to get a 50. It's also knowing when your teammate has a great chance at a pass.
Not just in back in the back rotations too. Speed is mistaken for how fast you can move to a ball. But in reality it's how fast you decide on an action. Being able to read what's going on before a ball get there is key
9:32 "You're probably platinum"
Me watching this at bronze lmao
Thank you wayton, back post helped me win a 1s match
this video was very well edited:)
"GO BACK POST!"
Great video. Showing this to my friends
Could you do a video for going into challenges / when to challenge an opponent? Your vids are great btw
I knew all of this since I'm gc but its still a good refresher/reminder :)
i'm c2 in 2s rn, and i want to know, this situation he said in 6:10 works in 2s as well? nice vid wayton :)
If only rocket league tutorials in game came with these videos many would be on the same page. I saw what I do wrong. Exactly what you pointed out. Going dead middle or front post. Back post I get now. We shall see how it works. If only I could get less ball chase type people and more rotation like that be nice.
You are criminally underrated compared to SunlessKhan and FLuuMP. I'd say that the quality and the theoretical aspect of your videos are much higher than others'. I hope you grow into a channel as big as them.
Thank you for this video!!!!
I got to Diamond 3 after being in Diamond 1 for a month
Good info. I'm nowhere organized to do something like this.
Superb Video dude. I'm a noob amoungst noobs, but I been sharing all your videos with my goons so we can get good asap
Ive been doing this for awhile. Plat player. Any tips on what to do when teammates have zero or horrible rotation
Very, very good video :D. I would love to watch a video where you talk about more advanced situations or maybe analyse some scenes. And if its possible please make a video with a Pro where you talk about rotations etc in RLCS because often I wonder why players are rotating different than backpost (includes possible passing)
Damn wayton, I got writers callus now. But it was damn worth it!
Went from plat 2 to c2
It's really effective. I ranked up from Gold 2 to Plat 2 in 7 matches.
Your videos are more useful and well made than any of the guys racing for 1 million subscribers. I think you deserve to get there first.
I hope Wayton is the next RL youtuber to hit 1 mil subs
I never knew what back post meant, but I constantly positioned myself like that when I first started out playing RL and playing defense. It felt better to defend from that distance of the ball because I would always get scored on otherwise.
This video, along with Virge's option coverage video, should be mandatory for ranked play.
I'm nearly in champ, and STILL always have teammates who just sit in net when I rotate behind them, and it drives me crazy.
Do I cut rotation and challenge? Do I wait for them to challenge, leaving a bunch of space where one of us should be covering? Do I get boost? Do I bump my teammate so they move? =P None seem like an optimal option.
I'd love to see a similar video about 2's. Helpful links would also be appreciated
i like this but i watch flakes all the time and i might have to take his side on back post rotation. his version is to be back post, but not completely. you wanna have about 25% of the goal behind you while 75% in front of you. that way you have a better chance of saving a fast shot far post and if it’s behind you a good chance to save behind you as well. i use it and it seems to work pretty well even though i’m just a diamond player
To the back post you go!
I've come back to rocket league after a while and people not understanding this, what I thought was an extremely basic part of rotation, is driving me INSANE. I think it has something to do with people spending more time in training mode than playing games than they used to, but I'm not sure, it's just a theory.
PLEASE DO 2S ROTATIONS NEXT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO PLAY 2S! To put it in perspective I'm D3 in 3s and D1 in ones but plat 3 in 2s I just don't get the game mode!
Back post or front post are also known as far post or near post for others to understand too
While this is good if you queue with people you know, if you solo a lot, this doesn't help. What ends up happening if you're a smart player is that you sit back post and midfield while you watch your two teammates flop around in the corner under the ball, just waiting for that moment when the other team screws up and you can safely go in for a snipe.
Fyi Might also want to note that when last back when no one is rotating behind you for a while, it's best to defend near post and shadow to waste time (example of when not to rotate back post)
Mr.Backpost is back at it again.
0:49 Wayton: "Where on the screen do you think back post is?"
Me, guessing: The opposite edge of the goal from where the ball is?"
Wayton: "If you gave any answer to this question... YOU'RE WRONG :D"
Me: Oh...
I take great comfort in knowing I'm in the right place as the ball once again flies past me.
Tysm this is going to help so much
lol right after watching the video I ranked up to champ for the first time. I subbed :)
This wasn’t just entertaining, but it revealed what I wasn’t doing right. I’m plat 2 already with the new season and I’m ready to make my push to diamond. “Go back post!!”
U explained it great, I hope many peopble will see this too. I like teammates they understand me :(
wayton : 1:57
.

bronze : i miss the ball, you miss the ball, opponent miss the ball, EVERYBODY MISS THE BALL
silver : what is teammates?
golds : surprised pikachu face
plats : im gonna pretend i didnt saw that
Here is another video I'm gonna link to my teammates and hope they watch because ...if you went back post you'd have made that save!
Damn man i just learned so much
Thanks mate!!! keep it going
A best video posted on my 22nd birthday!
1000 likes for every dislike thats kinda insane. Keep up the good work man
Should I go back post in 1v1s because that’s the only mode I do
My issue is when to start challenging if im last one back noone rly does back post in plat or diamond that ive seen
Where all plats fail, they just focus on one mechanic, can do that but are never ready to save or take a shot. When I was in plat games the opponents look good because they can maybe dribble but once you counter the dribble you can get an easy goal
Keep up these great vids! You will probably catch up to sunless and the others soon in subs
The defense is saved!!! The Messiah is here!!! Edutainment for us all!!! Wayton Lord behold!
When to go front post? Close dribbles and high corner shots?
I always get paired with stupid, that or slow recovering
Cant believe you had to make a video explaining what back post is.
If only my teammates saw this video maybe I would be able to rank up actually other than the fact that I get a demotion every time I log off of rocket league
absolute quality.
Person: dying
Wayton: Should of gone back post...
GO BACK POST! GO BACK POST! GO BACK POST!
Thank you for the helpful advice
Amazing video! New to channel and already subscribed 🙌
1800 here, everything in the video applies at every rank, and it works.
ngl was less confused when i started watching the video
I thought the question of where back post is was in relation to the last clip
