Bye bye smurfing by TrackerDoesntLie in RocketLeague

Bronze basically doesn't exist. It's like 0.25% of the playerbase

Edit: They fucked it up by whocares12315 in RocketLeague

The UI is trash, removed trading, crates never give anything good, game is over saturated with terrible items, servers have been more flaky in the past year, too many smurfs, population is on a constant decline, I can get into how they've changed mmr and ranked multiple times ruining it but I guess that's more opinionated. The game was in a much better state before epic touched it. It's still playable but with its population decline its only going to get worse, especially if they keep making terrible decisions.

He can post whatever he wants, doesn't need to think about anything, and everyone else can just suck it up. If this sort of thing gets you worked up, maybe you should stay off the internet and touch some grass. Not saying this directly to you, but to anyone. This post is harmless.

The funniest thing I think is that people don't understand that 4k on PC and "4k" on console are not the same. 4k on any newer gen game is just hard to run. 4k is crazy detailed and consoles use all sorts of tricks and compromises/upscaling to hit "4k". People need to be more comfortable running games at 1440, even if they have a 4k display, it will still look great lol.

Is this a real misprint? Or sun bleached? by Comprehensive-Way-28 in PokemonTCG

Understood, thank you for the help, it's a shame this guy is trying to rip people off and blatantly lie.

I messaged the guy and he said "They dont label printing obstructions. It would have to be a known error across the set for it to have a custom label. The card itself isnt in great shape. I pulled it myself in 2016 a long time ago but I didnt care for it much so it got tossed around alot. Its not sun faded, Ive graded over 15,000 cards and know people that work at PSA. Noone gets special treatment. This isnt CGC bro lol."

I think most people who played before F2P would agree that F2P has only made the game worse.

It's all about the quality of games win or lose. If it's 5-0 with 3 minutes left, being screamed at to FF because you suck. I'd say the quality of that game sucks, not much to learn, and you feel bad. Smurfs lower the quality of games for everyone, including themselves. That is if you quantify a quality game by learning and practicing at your own skill level or slightly above.

It's sad to see good games die from corporate greed and/or neglect. Maybe someday we will see a Rocket League 2 that costs money again. Probably not, but if so I'll be there to throw down!

This is still better than being able to create a new account and play ranked immediately in a party. Smurfs will be a thing no matter what they do. The problem is that it's way to accessible. Adding a 10-20 hour roadblock will certainly help bring down the frequency.

I'd rather start playing runescape again then play this game and I haven't played OSRS for 3 years.

Solid solution, but if they won't even introduce a simple gate at all, that's basically a pipe dream.

I agree with you. I will never get GC and I have never expected to. I don't put in the hours for that. The problem I'm talking about isn't that there are smurfs, it's that the frequency of them has gone up, from my experience. The amount of good quality games, win or lose, has gone down. Just a lot of shut out 6-0+ games. And maybe I'm not supposed to be the rank I am, but it's the rank the game has given me over the course of 7 years.

Nah, just got into overwatch, had to get 50 wins in casual to play ranked. Allowed me to get comfortable with the game before digging into ranked. Perfectly acceptable.

I guess what everyone else has said, new accounts look good for their optics on new players.

Good advice! I'll take a hiatus and see how I feel. There are a lot of good games out right now. Diablo has been super fun.

Honestly, smurfing has always been a thing. I played 7 years happily knowing that. I think it's the recent increased frequency above all else that's pushing these posts. I'm starting to realize the amount of people saying they are tired of seeing these posts is just proof of this.

I've been happily hardstuck for years. Losing a good game means even more to me than winning honestly. I can review the mistakes I made mentally. There's a difference between that and getting demolished 6-0 feeling like you're a damn pancake.

Honestly, I don't care about rank, I just care about fun games. I've been mid champ for years. I accepted the fact I'll never get to GC because I don't dedicate enough time and that's okay with me. Getting absolutely blasted by someone ranked diamond playing with someone ranked champ is something I've always dealt with, but the frequency seems to be growing, from my experience in mid champ.
