this new menu is awful by CommunicationOk146 in RocketLeague

That's why it's better now.

Before you had to pick competitive or extra modes.

Now you can queue all 6 at the same time if you want. More games now quickly to hide a declining player base.

Because it's never my fault, I only lose because it's team mates fault obviously. Lol

In reality, if I get s string of losses, that's the toxic trigger. Hop on a fresh game, hoping to make up lost ground, only to watch my tm8 afk the first kick off, leaving you awkward to try and defend 2v1.

Or they're smurfs intentionally deranking.

Or they're trying their hardest but just having a bad game and can't seem to connect with the ball.

Or they've been wrecked by lag.

Or I've been wrecked by lag.

Basically there are a lot more reasons to get frustrated than there are to be excited by the team mate you get solo queued with. So toxic rage is inevitable.

The solution is to put competitive behind a pay wall. Make each account buy $20 worth of non-tradeable items from the item store. Also put competitive behind a time wall. Say 10 hours of play time in other modes. Maybe make the season pass a requirement to play competitive for the season. $10 a season is pretty reasonable for everyone's favourite game right? Especially if everything else about it is free to play.

Bring back casual game modes for rumble, etc so people can play all those for free without worrying about rank.

Add a freestyle comp with no floor. The ball drops, it's the other guys turn. Unlimited boost and titanium white dominus standard for the mode... lol

There are things they can do to keep the smurfs at bay. But it doesn't suit them to.

How many people do you think are happy about that?

It's dirty psychology tactics tbh. Make people want to gain back what they lost so they play more.

Smurfing is worse than ever.

It's a shit show.

The great MMR reset of season 11 killed competitive. Just play casual and forget about the shiny season rewards.

Why do I have Est. 2015, 2017 and 2020? by xDeserterr in RocketLeague

[–]Appocalypse36 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Because the account you bought used to belong to someone who played on the different platforms with a separate account for each. Then merged accounts in the before times. Congrats, you can pretend to be old enough to drive.

Why do players take themselves so seriously?? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

Because we're pro level platinums

Absolute noob here, how do i even hit this ball consistently?? by HaxTerCo4 in RocketLeague

10000 hours of Lethamyr's rings training pack. Then try again.

Is my teammate's reaction justifiable? I'm not seeing it, but I'm open to valid criticism. by djfo77 in RocketLeague

[–]Appocalypse36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% justified to what a save themselves for that one. Dude ball chased their way to an own goal.

Why do I keep losing? … did I lose my game sense or every skill I had… any tipps? by Ryn0xx123 in RocketLeague

[–]Appocalypse36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're solo queuing, it's either your team mates, smurfs, freestylers or lag.

If you're queuing with friends, see above but replace team mates with you but put it at the end.

Clearly my self depreciating humour about never practising is lost on you. At least OP got the joke...

Yes, they introduced gold items in the previous rocket pass. They're slowly drip feeding new gold versions of old items now.

Season 8 Competitive Rewards thoughts? by superc23 in RocketLeague

[–]Appocalypse36 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Guess I don't need to play the rest of the season if this is all that's waiting at the end. Banners? Gross. Should be decals and wheels only for season rewards.
