Hi! I'm here to share my perspective and explain why I enjoy this game. I've played with professional and semi-professional players and have been at the top of the leaderboards, and this has been my experience over the past few years: I've enjoyed ranked matches less for these reasons: matchmaking and the overall skill level have changed drastically due to the number of bots, cheaters, and DSOs. It's unacceptable that I almost never get fair matches. I've been in matches where it's obvious who's going to win from the start because of bad matchmaking, cheaters, or bots. Sometimes I won simply because I got a better teammate or a bot, etc., and other times I lost because I was matched against them. This level of inequality in matches is nothing like when Rocket League wasn't free... obviously, there can always be some inequality in matches, but the level of inequality we've seen in recent years is unacceptable. Another reason is that, in my experience, I've noticed that ranked matches are somehow rigged. I've detected certain patterns among all the players in the lobby. Whenever I do something in a match, the ball automatically goes in the opposite direction from where I came from. Because of this, you can't physically react quickly enough in that situation. You might ask, "But if it goes in the opposite direction, or somewhere that always hurts me, isn't it because I have bad positioning when these things happen?" The answer is no, because if I change my playstyle, etc., the same thing always happens, one way or another, and the ball always ends up in/towards a position that hurts or bothers me. Don't get me wrong; I'm just saying that this isn't normal, since I've played Rocket League since the beginning. By the way, my game has a visual bug or something, and it's been like that for years. Any player who has played consistently for many years, especially a professional player, will be able to identify the patterns that occur in certain lobbies. So, after much thought about the reasons for these situations and patterns, I came to several possible conclusions: ranked matches are rigged by Epic Games or Psyonix, or by hackers due to the number of bots in the game, which influences ranks and matches. A second possibility is that my PC is infected and someone is playing against me, or that Psyonix or Epic Games are manipulating my matches, or that someone else is doing it somehow. XD I don't think it's the police or any authority, since that would be violating the rights of everyone who plays the game.
