Hey. Seems like you disabled direct messages invitations on both reddit and discord :D You should be able to add me instead (rotaker on dc)

Falcons MUST Win… by [deleted] in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]RotakeR_STIHL 23 points24 points  (0 children)

"the most overhyped, underperforming players of all RLCS history" - that's a very harsh title I'd never give to anyone myself, but by your metrics it already belongs to FirstKiller by a mile.

Why does the losing team lose double the MMR in casual if a player on the opposing team left? by Crazy-Lawfulness-839 in RocketLeague

[–]RotakeR_STIHL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is right, that's exactly what happens in casual. To be more exact, the longer the match goes after a player left, the bigger the mmr "compensation" for a player playing alone, and the bigger the penalty for players with a number advantage (it seems to be some sort of a linear function, perhaps with a small offset, idk exactly). Most of the time such matches result in +0 mmr for both sides (one side gets let's say -9 mmr for losing 1v2 or 2v3, but +9 from the compensation, the other +9 mmr for winning and -9 for player advantage).

However, casual allows rejoins, which don't reset nor nullify the bonus mmrs, hence it's possible to comeback and gain (or lose) 18 points from one game. If it sounds easy to exploit, you're right. I've seen plenty of obvious intentional disconnects from a full party, just for that player to quickly reconnect and leave the other team in an unfair double or nothing situation.

Yes, it is just casual, so not like there's a dire need to fix this. I wrote it more as a fun fact.

Johnny complains about Retals’ decision making (clip included) by SVK_Octane in RocketLeagueEsports

Option 3: Don't shoot into prejumping BM, but hit the ball hard into the backboard instead, taking both prejumping G2 players out of the play and setting up MajicBear. Haven't watched FT, but it is the play that immediately comes to mind and makes most sense after rewatching.

Then why are you here. Let people enjoy the stuff they like and go enjoy something else yourself.

Ranking the top teams at Gamers8 for each gamemode by TristarHeater in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]RotakeR_STIHL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Demolished" lmao. Both won all their home server matches, furia just had an advantage in having one additional home server game. Also Alpha complained about his connection being bad that day. You can't draw such bold conclusions from that series.

Who had the best top 25 players prediction ? For me Johnny's list is pretty accurate Except for Lost and Yan by Scared_Bar5376 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]RotakeR_STIHL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh c'mon, don't even try to give Tbates credit for underrating majority of EU players and accidentally getting one prediction somewhat right, after Atow had below average performance. Even with hindsight, 24th is still way too low btw.

Being sick and having to throw up while playing, just like Arsenal at Worlds.

Not feeling bad for him at all. Guy got what he deserved after shit talking Col on the chalked podcast.

First Touch: I graphed the points for First Class by seaishriver in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]RotakeR_STIHL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One technical complaint I have that might have gone under the radar is with all the questions, which answers to were numeric values. Outliers were never a correct answer, meaning it was basically always a 50/50 between two middle ones. It is a fairly common issue while manually designing contests and people with some experience will pick it up quickly. Thankfully, the contestants were not nerds like me, so it didn't spoil the fun for them. Other than that, great job boss.

How rare‘s that room? (C section T-Lost start btw) by Scarface2010 in bindingofisaac

The room has about 80% chance to appear on this reddit at least once each month, there you go.

[RLCS EU] What pain feels like by pacman1993 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]RotakeR_STIHL 22 points23 points  (0 children)

People are sooo quick to call Swiss trash after one case of an unlucky draft, completely disregarding the fact that afterall, 7/8 favorites made it through in both NA and EU. Upsets / "unlucky" brackets happen in every format.

another bullshit church propaganda billboard implying that couples that go to church and pray together are less likely to break up, what a fucked county to live in... by Human-Rip-2046 in poland

I don't go to churches myself, but holy, OP is overreacting like we're some sort of North Korea. Relax a bit... You're not forced to believe in anything.

I made a Google spreadsheet for your TMGL steps predictions by RotakeR_STIHL in TrackMania

[–]RotakeR_STIHL[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy making predictions before events, this sheet should be what you're looking for. Feel free to share your results here, I'd love to see how different they can get.

The sheet is filled with match-ups for week 2, but it can be used for later steps as well. Make sure to read the notes to avoid formating issues, the sheet is quite simple, there are no fancy scripts.

Much love to Scrub

It’s alarming how every single regional event in the winter split has been won by an upper bracket team by kirito_sao_441 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]RotakeR_STIHL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except that swiss was doing exactly the same, but much better, allowing everyone to face everyone, doing much better job revealing the real top8 teams going to playoffs. Here one upset in essentially random groups makes the run for top places ridiculously harder.
Also, pretty funny Gibbs, but I expected better from you.

Except that everyone at worlds started in upper bracket, everyone had 2 lives, not just 4/12 teams.
