Listen, we hear you guys. We see you guys playing games and losing (yes, of course because of your WiFi) and you not knowing why. Well, today we have the answer for you. You’re all ball chasers. I know, it may be hard to hear but its the truth. It you want to take your Rocket League skills to the next level, you need to have a game plan. A strategy. And not just “rotating” (like anyone knows what that really means), but a plan of movement so that you and your partner can control the flow of the game. Here are 3, 2v2 Rocket League strategies.
1. The One Up, One Back
Probably the easiest of all the strategies we will discuss. It simply involves one teammate staying back and defending while the other attacks. Once the teammate loses possession of the ball, they swap positions with the goalie who then plays offense. See diagram below for any confusion. Pros of this strategy are simply effectiveness. With one up and one back, it allows for a perfect balance on the field. If the player up can put some decent shots on goal, and the defense can block some shots, you should be looking at solid wins. This strategy is a 60/40, meaning you should make 60 percent of your shots and allowing 40 percent of their shots should still get you a win.
2. W-Key Special
This one is for the restless. This is the 100 percent attack method. You will not cross the center line unless the other team is making a beeline to the goal. You and your teammate will be about 45 degrees about the goal, and just pepper as many shots as possible to wear the defense out. This is a 10/10 strategy. If you both make 10 percent of your shots, and allow 10 percent of theirs, it is a solid win. Now pros of this is that you don’t need accuracy. You just need to put off as many shots as possible. However the obvious con is that you are defenseless. Good ball control is a must, and don’t expect to win any games by a shut out. Your goal is simply to exhaust the defense and getting them to slip up every once in a while. This can be the most effective, but also the most dangerous to use. Only put this in competitive use after practice until you have it down.
3. 30 Degree Approach
This is the most complicated strategy yet, but if mastered it is nearly unstoppable. This strategy has no offense or defense, but a load of moving parts. The key to this strategy come two fold: stealing boost and always moving. Control of boost in this strategy is key because mobility is going to be your number one tool. One player will start front right and the other back left. From here it will be the front player attacking with the back for support. The front player should always be setting up the ball for support. Support is just waiting until they get a clear shot on net and go for the punch. Players switch roles once the other team makes an offensive push. Then just keep the front player passing and that support player waiting.
