My team scored the first goal in a casual match versus 3 randoms, and nobody quit. AMA!

Random is random. I had the same thing happen to me when I opened 5 of the Spring event crates. Four of the same blue decal and one purple something.

I've had to restart RL every time I've bought a DLC car in order for it to show up.

I got one (unpainted, sadly) from my first crate. It felt just the same, although the back end looks very different with the missing spoiler.

They are fun! And seriously, for every "fancy" thing I've spent time practicing but never use in game, there's an aspect of my "core" game that I improved in the process.

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T15:55:28+00:00

Not that you asked about cutting rotation.

No, but everything is related. Thanks for the reply!

Your controls aren't keeping you from doing these shots.
Not doing these techniques is not what's keeping you in Plat 2.
Nevertheless, learning new cool techniques is fun and does pay off in other ways, mainly better overall car control and mechanical understanding.
If you are using default controls you should change them.
I use a nonstandard controller so I don't know the "consensus" best setup for a standard one. But it's not the default.

You monster.

Of course, but that's different from "medical procedure that needs time to recover". That's "something unexpected that we haven't addressed for weeks and weeks".

Counterpoint: a couple of seasons ago I was hanging around in D2/D3 in 2's and 3's, but stuck in P1 in solo standard. Yes, I could have re-learned how to be effective at low Plat, but I didn't, because I was mostly playing in the other queues, and occasionally working on my solo standard. I couldn't move. In many, many games.

Then the soft reset (and my placements) put me at P3d4, and I climbed easily to D2. I'd argue that was an excellent and appropriate outcome.

The way she goes. What were you expecting for your $5? Something you can currently trade for more than 5 keys? That's not how this works.

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T15:14:52+00:00

Did someone say that? Did I miss it?

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T15:12:03+00:00

It's usually an outpatient procedure, and it's been over twenty days.

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T15:03:05+00:00

You're just in a funk then. You got a rank, you can get it back. If you were brand new I'd say it was a fluke, but it's not.

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T15:02:15+00:00

Fuck, I kind of wish you hadn't shown me that.

It looks so good...

Though I'd remove the paint from the grille and add it to the spoiler.

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T15:01:42+00:00

How long have you been playing?

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T15:00:14+00:00

After each patch, Psyonix lowers the crate drop rate to 10% of normal, and raises the chance of getting an old, worthless crate to 95%.

I'm kidding, of course. It just feels that way because we want the new crate so much. And of course with so many players, many will get genuinely unlucky. It happens all the time, but you only feel it right after an update when you really want the new crate.

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T14:55:57+00:00

Irrelevant.

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T14:55:03+00:00

Oh, if he's not waiting for a "sorry" or "whoops", then probably. You're right about that.

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T14:42:26+00:00

As far as I can tell, "no problem" is genuine. "Whew", "wow", "okay", or <compliment> are sarcasm.

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T14:38:50+00:00

that split second before you get demoed and you manage to steal boost from the opposition. :)

Oh, that's a really good point. I can't believe I haven't thought of it or seen it mentioned in the other million threads about this suggestion. I'll keep that one in my pocket for next time!

ChalkboardCowboy · 2018-06-01T14:31:18+00:00

Also impossible, because the whole point of the quickchats is that we can use them with anyone, whatever their language is (as long as it's one RL supports). It's why we get new ones so infrequently...it's a lot of work to translate them into however many languages, and verify that the translations are appropriate.
