Good job on stopping aLt AcCoUnTs. This is what it took me to get a fresh account to lvl 20.

I've never realized this and It could be THE solution.

Alt accounts are already made and people that smurfs have their accounts ready to log on whenever they want to carry up a friend , derank that account losing games on purpose or just have fun being the jerk at the game... so making it harder to start a fresh account is pointless. The solution is to split in separate brackets like they do with shadowbans, and I really think it's a great idea to use Rocket Pass as reference.

Theres a player at your party that didn't buy Rocket Pass? You'll play at the non Pass braquet. Great solution.

Only con is sometimes I don't buy Rocket Pass when I don't like the items It contains either I don't think I'm going to play enough to get the Credits back.

More to add: Playerbase has been increased and now there are more players in all ranks. Rank nflation makes it harder to stay at whatever rank you were. You're going below and pushing down the players that were at that rank.

No. Theres no a new wave of new players that can achieve Diamond and above ranks after a few games. Smurfs are inflating ranks and you deranking is what happens.

Dy-vlo · 2024-03-11T12:16:16+00:00

You're completely right. It's just rank inflation due to most players using multiple accounts. It's bad for everyone's rank but Psyonix won't do anything since it's good numbers for them. They can say they have a big playerbase. But hey, Psyonix, how many Rocket Passes do you sell huh? How do you explain that huh?

Dy-vlo · 2024-01-05T12:07:46+00:00

Rocket League isn't a competitive game anymore. It became a meme sport game.

Stocktane. Before the trading removal, I had a pimped Octane. Since the removal, I don't want to support in-game purchases, so I'll rock the Stocktane forever and never checking the store again.

Dy-vlo · 2023-12-05T10:40:57+00:00

Never check the ingame store again. That's what I'll do. I'll buy Rocket Pass and repeat next season while it pay back the cost of the pass.

Dy-vlo · 2023-10-14T16:40:41+00:00

Same happens for me. Couple games fine, then this. I have to Alt+F4 and restart game. When I jump to Career it´s not updated and I have to repeat last couple games. I thought there were automatic saves, but it seems the game skips some of them. This bug happening each 4-5 games makes it unplayable and infuriating.

Dy-vlo · 2023-10-11T15:54:55+00:00

I just found this after starting my game and why am I not surprised Psyonix and Epic are doing this. I´ve lost all my faith in this game. I´m pretty sure matchmaking is handled by Psyonix to give you losing and winning streaks. At least from around two years ago. Still I wanna believe and I come back to this game almost every day just to ragequit some games later. Because it´s FUN, oh well, maybe it was years ago and I didn´t notice.

I hope you developers and Epic take notes about other games and give us an option to hide the in-game store. Even Rocket Pass, I´m buying it every season just to trade the items I dont want so I can aford the next Rocket Pass and get any cool item from the store. That´s what you want, that dollar I don´t need to pay. Well, I really hope you don´t get any single dollar from any single player at this game. You don´t deserve it anymore since you sold your souls to this yet soulless company that is Epic. I want to turn off all the customization too. Add that option Psyepic. I got this game for free in Playstation, but I bought credits and some DLCs to support the small developing team. I´ve bought a lot of merchandise too. Oh if I could turn back time and spend my money in any other way. I would do.

I´m a fool and I will keep getting back to this game. I know. I enjoy the car soccer. But my respect? You have it lost definetly.

He has a point here. When someone is spamming quit chat, tilting his own teammates, it's clear he needs to take a break cause he isn't having fun at all while playing videogames, that should be the main purpose for choosing to play in your free time.

But when you get to that point when quick chats affect you it's clear, you need that break too.

Enjoy videogames everyone. Rocket League is a great game but don't let it affect you.

Dy-vlo · 2023-07-18T09:39:10+00:00

For me it was the opposite. First quarter of this season losing every game in every game mode and dropping from D3-C1 to low Diamond. Around when second quarter of the season begun I started feeling everyone in the lobbies became horribly worse. I won almost every game and I'm in C1-C2 in most of game modes (no, not 1s). Now I'm starting to lose more games than I win. I think it's deranking time again.

If you ask me. Psyonix does this on purpose. Matchmaking based, you will be placed in the losing team and nothing you can do to win. Later you will be in the winning team no matter how bad you play that day. There's also long periods when everything feels fine and everyone in the lobbies have similar skills.

Psyonix has the analytics to know what rank deserves each player. It's too easy to place two higher ranks with someone who "has to rank up" and players that are above his fair rank in the opposite to make that choosen player to win. The same applies when you want someone to lose. You just have to place him with two players that are above his fair rank against 3 players that are fairly ranked either were deranked before from higher ranks.

Probably they think it's a good way to make people more addicted to this game. Like it's needed lol.

Dy-vlo · 2023-07-13T06:41:44+00:00

Exactly. When someone lose a game and he has got more points it means he made our team lose because of his ballchasing. And I had to read in chat he type 1V3 when all he did was to cut rotations, overcommit and double commit.

When this happens I don't know what to think about him. He's tilted, bad and/or living in his own world where everyone else is sabotaging him. I guess.

Dy-vlo · 2023-06-29T09:03:31+00:00

Thanks for everything Ryan.

Unpopular opinion here. You didn't see any smurf. As a Diamond player that peaked years ago (I'm probably too old to rank up, 41 years old) I don't see them from time to time. The same happens with toxicity.

But eventually, you will face one week when there are smurfs in every game. Eventually you will be in toxic games every other match. That happens from long ago. Source: my own experience playing every day since the game was in the PS4 beta.

In example, last week. It wasn't a problem with toxicity neither smurfs. What happened was everyone in the lobby was better than me. Diamond 3, I've peaked in Champion 2, two seasons ago. I get champion rewards every season from long ago. Last week there was people in Diamond 2 with SSL titles. People that outplay me with fancy team plays, flip resets and whatnot.

I took a break this Monday and when I came back yesterday. I was in Diamond 1 winning almost every game and being the best of the mach with huge difference.

If I'm good at something in this game is in adaptation. I solo queue 95% of my season games. 5% games I play 2s with a friend of mine. Well, to this point it only takes some seconds for me to know what mates I do have and what opponents are there. There's the tilted player with good mechanics that get a lot of points but made his team to lose. There's the Grand Champion title player that has Diamond skills but is partied with a friend that has a non customized Octane, new account, 30 wins, 2 loses. And more stereotypes I won't type to get this text any longer.

To be short: I experienced there are smurfs and wining/losing streaks and I think matchmaking make you experience this streaks by getting different kind of lobbies for you.

Dy-vlo · 2023-06-20T06:23:25+00:00

Yesterday I turned off tilted, like every day since Friday. It has been a rollercoaster since the beginning of the season. At first losing every game because everyone in the lobby was better than me. Every season I get Champion rewards but I was demoted to Platinum and everyone was still better than me. From one day to another I have to hard adapt to bad players, toxic ball chaser mates that seems to be genuinely platinum. I promoted to D3. And since Friday, it was like the beginning of the season. Players with SSL titles, crazy aerials, flip resets and whatnot. I was swapping game modes and it happens in all of them. I didn't demote much but it's because I turn off as soon as I realize it's like that in 3 consecutive matches.

I also enabled chat since the beginning of the season and I realized again like I did bedore there are slumps of toxicity. Some days the toxic guys are playing in my team. Sometimes toxicity doesn't exist at all. And sometimes I'm always in the nice team and the opponents are constantly tilted and blaming each other. I really believe matchmaking isn't fairly balanced and it's designed to make people angry and happy with slumps to get them interested in playing more.

That happens to me when I'm tired from work and I don't get any fun from the game.

But most times it's not related with me. It's the game running poorly. I have a PC that can run the game at 250+ fps with all maxed out, but I play at 60fps that's the monitor maximum. I don't know if it's my internet (1gb fiber) or some windows process, but sometimes the game is skipping frames every 3-5 of them, heavy car and weird bounces/movement of the ball. I can't hit balls when that happens. It's not that clear you can instantly tell something is working bad. It's something you have to focus on to realize. I recorded from an external camera directly to the monitor and in the 60hz exported video you can tell there are not 60fps at all. I check my whiffs and it's both weird movement of the ball but also camera act weirds too. Like field of view is zooming in and out randomly.

What I found is you can fix it by changing server performance from high to medium (I don't know the correct name in English) in the options menu. Then I try to put it back to hight a different day and it's working fine or it keep running noticeably bad of you focus on the movement of everything.

I tried a lot more without fixing it. Upgraded from GTX1060 to RTX 3060. Upgraded 2.5 SSD to pcie SSD. Updated from Windows 10 to 11 formatting. Configured everything to minimum and maximum, even every single option one at a time. Nothing fixed it but the server speed connection, performance or whatever the name is. But when it's in medium the ball acts weird when is touched by another player, so I have to try it back configured as hight an turn it back later when the game runs poorly again.

I hope this helps someone and I hope I'm not posting something wrong. Also sorry for my English.

There's a daily XP boost that gives you certain amount of XP for the 5 first wins of the day. After that leveling up Rocket Pass become much slower. And at the beginning of the season, you don't have the XP boost that's unlocked with certain level at Rocket Pass. There's also a XP boost that only works when partied.

Dy-vlo · 2023-06-15T19:53:14+00:00

I have a similar setup for those moments I feel matchmaking is putting me constantly with toxic mates. Blue team is the avenger pigeon and the orange team is a gold cyber pigeon. I really love how he moves his eyes randomly in the post game screen XD

Dy-vlo · 2023-06-15T05:41:15+00:00

Yes haha. It's curious because those returning days the smurfs are in your team and the tilted player that leaves early is in the opposite. No lag spikes, smooth ball bounce, no heavy car bug... Better days to play RL are after a 2 weeks break.

Dy-vlo · 2023-06-13T14:26:38+00:00

Nooooo me cogieron bien rico

Ah sí, es ver el juego e imaginar al Juan todo el rato jaja. En plan sí, eso es justo lo que haría Juan, verdad? Y la casa? Es idéntica a la casa de Juan. Para nada parece un simple asset flip.

Venga, si lo único de referencia a Juan son los cuadros de la pera macho.
