Simply Why
I mostly play Casual 2v2 and usually sit around 1300 MMR. Right now, I’m at 1299, but my peak has been around 1380–1400 MMR. I mostly run into Diamond and Champ players, of course sometimes higher and other times lower, highest there was, was an SSL, which makes me wonder—why does it seem like every other player uses directional air roll, while I don’t? Why is it that so many people can do it? Has it got some requirement to get Diamond level, is that why I can't go higher than Diamond 1?

@Finn Herten Well, my last stand of knowledge was that DAR is primarily used out of comfort, because if you can do it, it is much easier to navigate in the air. But in a perfect rocket league DAR wouldn't be needed at all. Or so. That is also why I was so confused when everyone in my lobbies seems to be able to do so. Of course not every can, but when I play against diamond to RLCS 2025 Challenger, lucky me he was on my team, many are air rolling. So, then is my knowledge wrong? Or can I continue like before without air roll? Not completely without, started using it from time to time to recover after an aerial.
Diamond to Champ
I am Diamond 2 right now and was wondering if it is enough to get more consistent at what I already can do, which is nothing fancy (speed-flip, basic dribbling, rotations, defense and power-shots), and 'just' learn Direction Air Roll to get to Champ or if I need other mechanics too.

@Finn Herten Sounds relatively 'easy' to get champ. I mean getting more consistent with power-shots, doing air-roll-shots and doing basic flicks (I hope diagonal front and 45 degree count as simple, as those would be the two I would learn first) doesn't sound all too hard.

@Finn Herten I know the flick in the link I attached is not perfect and rather is a disaster, but I wanted to ask if this is one of the basic flicks you meant. https://streamable.com/kvm80p Edit: I can do it like 35 percent of the time, but I can't get the setup quick enough in game. How can I make that quicker?
Is it wrong?
I’m about to get a new controller, and it has buttons that I can customize on the back. If I perform a speed flip and put it onto one of the buttons and just use that for every kick off, is it wrong to do that? Because I can only hit a speed flip about 10% of the time. Because I’m still a gold.

@Abner Onifer If you record it when you successfully do it and then can redo that with a press of a button is a macro if I am not wrong now. Probably not a bad person, but also not a per se good one too. It would then be cheating or rather a unfair advantage.

@Abner Onifer I actually do not have any, except repetition. I mean I learnt it pretty much that way. I started learning it at Gold 3 and did my first perfect one, in which I hit the ball in the training pack (A503-264C-A7EB-D282) in Platinum 3. I probably spend about 7 hours of training and repeating the speed flip. Why not do the front flip or diagonal flip instead, I mean it is easier and you can always just come back to it later.
Been a While
I haven’t played Rocket League in some time, but a friend recently got me back into it. After playing for about a week, I’ve decided I want to hit Diamond again. Right now, I’m Plat 2 and just finished my placement matches. Before my break, I didn’t care too much about my rank. I wanted to improve and get a higher rank, but I played ranked for anything, whether I was in a casual or competitive mood. Now that I got back, what’s the best way to do it?
Misjudging Ranks
Is it normal that I underrate like Plats and Diamond but very much overrate Champs and maybe even Grand Champ 1s? For me are GC 1s are just like GC 3s but with less consistency at those flashy shots and Plats/Diamonds are those inconsistent players that can't hold a normal power shot.

I'm just an ordinary person seeking to improve my skills in Rocket League and becoming more skilled at this game.
