The Goalie – Twinzer
Starting off with a crucial part of any Rocket League team, the Goalie is a crucial role in winning games. A reliable goalie is the difference between playing a confident game and a timid one. The start of a good goalie is a good car. And our pick for the best goalie car is the Twinzer. With the hit box of the Octane, but a little less mass, the Twinzer gets it the air quickly and benefits from the well shaped octane hit box. It has loads of custom decals and looks good with all the normal items you might use on an octane. The only main reason we didn’t choose the Octane was because the Twinzer is a touch smaller, thus increasing mobility. This mobility is crucial when changing direction to make quick saves.
The Freestyler – Dominus
So you already have a good goalie car, but what if you want to hit aerial shots? Well we have the best car here, the Dominus. It has a super long and super wide hit box, making it a prime choice for flicks and pinches. Its length also helps to hit the ball quicker than that of a short hitbox. It has a very box-like form with a flat front and top, making it perfect for winning 50/50 balls in the air. It has a high mass, and is incredibly linear making it perfect for hard shots.
All it all, Dominus is essentially the most geometric car in the game. It is heavy, powerful, and large making it capable of moving the ball in whatever way you want. The main con is its mass, it is hard to keep the Dominus in the air and control it well. But if you learn to maneuver it, it pays heavy dividends.
The Attacker – Octane
You knew it was coming. My personal favorite car. The Octane is the most well-rounded car in the game. It has a cube-like hit box, but isn’t very cube-shaped at all. It has a very flat front, allowing for direct shots and slight angles. That flat front also allows for accurate shots with power, a deadly combo for any Rocket League rank. It is also super light making it a very versatile car as well.
The Octane is easily the most commonly used car in true competitive Rocket League. All kinds of players use it because of its wide hit box and extreme versatility. There really isn’t too much to say about it, other than it is widely regraded as the best on the game. When in doubt, the Octane is always the best to go.
The Defender – Merc
The Merc. It may be underrated but it still serves a very important role. The Merc is the chunkiest of all the Rocket League cars, and is mainly used by new players or people trying to troll or mess around. But as a defensive option, the Merc shines. Its wide body and followed shape makes it great for deflecting passes and bumping attackers. It is nearly impossible for anyone to miss a ball withe the Merc. To play defense, just hitting the ball with power is often the main goal. This body delivers on power, but lacks agility and finesse.
In the end, our job was to list of traits and flaws of different cars. Its ultimately up to you if you want to use the lighter Twinzer for making saves, that is up to you. The position you chose for your car doesn’t matter, but the ability to know your cars pros and cons is. Choose wisely!
