Wayton is the only youtuber that can entertain me about 1 car design for nearly nine minutes

Another thing to consider about the game, is that all of your feedback about your car is coming from your screen. So, the way the car feels is completely visual when you think about it. So when you change the way the car looks, it can change the feel as well.

Great video! 🙂 Fun story on the TW Reapers, i actually opened them in the first crate i ever opened when the crate first came out and plopped them on ever since. So thats where those came from aswell!

I kinda believe that changing your preset can make you play better, even in a really small amount, mainly because your car gives different visual cues about its movement. For example, using black OEMs is not same as using TW reapers. One of them is clearly more visible and it can be helpful for some people. I'm not sure how big of a change it is and maybe it's actually just the placebo effect but I still think it's useful.

Be like Flakes. Randomize your car every game.

Cool video! I love this concepts as it shows how common superstition is, even among people we consider top tier in their field. StiI was really hoping for a Flakes shoutout though! Clearly one of the (if not the) most successful pro's that changes designs extremely often.

The TW wheels are there to contrast with the darker colours of the car, making it easier to distinguish your car's position during frantic moments

I've been using the MG-88 decal for a very long time now without even realizing it became so popular! I'm old (39 years of age..) and us older folks prefer car designs that look more realistic and wheels/designs that look more like cars in real life. That's why I stick to MG-88 and very basic looking decals. I also prefer more natural looking colors. I don't like neon colors. Darker blue and dark or cherry red looks great! I hate when cars have 20 different colors going on and nothing matches! I prefer black wheels more than any other color in the game! So despite using the MG-88 decal for years, I don't really bother with the white REAPER wheels. I do rock the black reaper wheels though quite a bit! I also like the black OEM wheels and the black HSL-B wheels.

2:35 searches are wild

Nice vid! The first time I even noticed a pattern in pro player designs was that Syp used the SSG decal and the reaper wheels and that always stood out to me for some reason. I also noticed early on the JKanps designs were always bad to look at haha. I remember at one point he ran a pink and lime green storm watch

Another decal that popped up recently completely out of the blue in the one Aztral used at the Fall Major when he totally popped off on offense the final day. He was using a blue and red Fennec with a decal I don’t know the name of but that has been used by a lot of pros since. Vatira notably has started using since the beginning of this split but changed the colors to green and pink, and then a bunch of pros, like AJG, Reysbull, and others, started using that decal with that exact color combo. It’s shown at 6:27

Surprised the topic of "car body language" was not brought up in the video. Other video games have proven that different skins (think league) give you an unfair advantage because it makes it harder for the opponents to read your movements or skillshots. And as such a darker design makes it slightly harder for opponents to read the body language of your car in opposition to a bright design that really emphasizes the outline of your car.

Video idea: "Why did the Fennec get so popular?" You can go over chausette being the only pro, who used it after its release. Than he dominated the whole tounament (imo one of the best solo performances ever). And what happend after, is history.

Wayton is the only Rocket League YouTuber who comes up with the most profound and well thought out videos based on one specific topic.

You missed a BIG thing. When playing for long stint, your view will get more and more tunnel like focussed on the ball and youll lose a bit of focus on your car control and direction. When you change car and or color, every now and then, your view kind of refreshes and you can better see your cars position at the same time as looking on the ball. So it actually DOES help, to have colorful corners of the car, to make it more easily for the eye to see the edges of the car. Just sayin. Try it out!

judging by both Lawler and Wayton's rooms at 7:06, it's apparently not just in game that RL players are drawn to the same design lol

How do you make a video about a car design so entertaining?! Really good work man

There's an argument to be made that watching a lot of pros / others that use these designs on Youtube and Twitch can help you play better just because you are so used to seeing it. I never use the Octane but when I do it feels like i've been using it for a long time. It's also an open wheel design and that can help your eyes as your wheels are very visually important. Great video once again!

honestly this was such an intersting video, love to see this kind of content from the rl community. It's good to change it up. These new kinds of videos is like making a new car design, except not everyone is copying it. 😂 But seriously though, keep up the good work! 👍
