      I started playing Rocket League at the beginning of Season 9, and am only plat (1s/2s) and gold (3s), so take with a grain of salt. However, knowing that it's very difficult to adjust to new controller bindings, I took a lot of time to find a layout that was as ergonomic and low-effort as possible. I think this is objectively better than the alternatives.

      These bindings are for a DS4 with the official back button attachment. They can apply to any traditional controller layout with at least one set of back paddles.

      The key points:

      1. Reverse is moved from an analog trigger to a binary button, freeing up an analog input for boost
      2. Boost is moved from a binary button to an analog trigger, making feathering the input easier
      3. Directional air-roll is bound to the right thumb-stick, giving analog adjustment precision

      Full control bindings:

      • LB: powerslide
      • LT: drive forwards
      • L paddle: drive backwards
      • RB: jump
      • RT: boost
      • R paddle: toggle ballcam
      • LS: pitch and yaw
      • RS: directional air roll left and right

      Camera bindings can be put on the face buttons or sacrificing some of the d-pad buttons. If you're using DS4Windows, you can also do a macro to make holding L3 toggle RS into a camera input. In either case, you lose precision since the camera input is no longer analog, but I think that tradeoff is worth it because most camera use is just checking teammate position before kickoff.

      Found this on twitter, user TychoBolt compiled this list. There's a lot of information on many topics, as well as a ton of links to tools that aid in level design, narrative and more.

      He also compiled this 122-paged guide on level design; full of tips and tricks for designing levels. I've looked through it for a bit and found quite a lot of interesting information, so I'd reckon this is a valuable asset to anyone developing/designing games.
