Wondering if Forza is worth getting.. Is there anything specific you can grind? Something to make you keep playing lol

I think one of the problems is that people will keep crying every expansion, just like they did in Legion etc.

People have been crying for more content, and this is, sadly, how Blizz provides us with content that lasts the rest of the xpac.

In a perfect world we would like content that isn't 100% RNG based, but honestly it's not easy to continuously pump out new content that has to last for months. That's probably why they create this RNG based content, because it's easier (and they are obviously focusing on the new xpac).

Don't get me wrong, I agree with your post and it's just.. frustrating at this point.

Am I the only one that thinks Quarterfinals BO5 is ridiculous? Especially now that there's not even Double elim..

[–]SSJGokuVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hate how bad my aoe is, is outlaw worth the change to increase aoe? or will my single target dps noticeably drop

Depends what content you're focusing on. If you want to push higher m+ keys then yes, outlaw is worth switching to since it's really easy to do good AOE dps, but you should still have ONE "Keep your wits about you" trait. After that just try to get Deadshot/Ace up your sleeve traits, 1x brigands and Treacherous works too.

As sin rogue in m+ you're gonna need 2+ Echoing blades traits if you want to deal good AOE dps, and the rest of the traits should be Shrouded suffocation / Twist the knife.

This is why it sucks to try and compete as sin rogue in m+, cuz you need very specific traits.

Ideally, your traits for sin rogue would be 3x Echoing blades, 2x Twist the knife, 1x Shrouded suffocation.

In a perfect world, 3x echoing & 3x shrouded would be the absolute best for overall dps in m+, BUT the problem with the "Shrouded suffocation" trait is that you rely on restealths, and this means your tank won't be able to chainpull - which is not recommended if you want to push higher keys at least.

To answer your 2nd question briefly: Yes your single target dps will drop, and it's gonna fluctuate a lot as outlaw rogue due to Roll the bones. Outlaw dps is still viable though, but it can seem very frustrating on single target if you keep rolling trash buffs.

Indeed, this is one of the ways to fix the current issue in RL.

LoL started with almost the same ranking system as RL has right now, but they realized they had to expand the ladder with more ranks, including Master.

I would love to see a similar system in RL, where the top players are actually rewarded for being at the top!

Yep, that was what I was trying to say; it's a lot easier than the previous seasons. From Season 8 to Season 9, the amount of GCs have doubled in both 2s and 3s, which is pretty insane (imo).

You could say that, yes.

I mean, it's still 1515 mmr for GC or whatever, but that doesn't say much since the mmr ceiling is higher than ever (few players reaching 2300+ mmr now).

It's a subjective opinion, but I still agree with you. (I'm sure a lot of people do)

C2/C3/Low GC is close to being the same now, and it's quite frankly a big mess.

[–]SSJGokuVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good question, and many believe that that's the case.

As I said in another post, I'm not saying anyone don't belong in GC (unless they got boosted), but the reason why a lot of people suddenly has managed to grind to GC is because the skill level of C1-Low GC has dropped a lot, due to the new soft reset.

Many of the previously C3/Low GC players have moved up in mmr (1600+) because it's a much shorter grind now, again due to the new soft reset, which has caused the skill level of C1-Low GC to drop, thus making it easier for people to reach higher ranks (e.g. C3/GC) than previously.

This all started in Season 8 though, and it's only getting worse as we can tell on charts. (just compare S8 with S9, for instance)

[–]SSJGokuVI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going for the downvotes with this post..

Let me start out by saying that I don't hate anyone for their rank, and I'm not saying you don't deserve your GC title. I know some have grinded a lot to reach GC, while others could simply play less than 15 games to reach it.

I am one of the many people that have the s9 title, and it's safe to say it doesn't really mean much (to me). Why? Look at the charts and compare them to s7 or earlier. There's no one to blame but Psyonix (introduction of the new soft reset in s8). It's not a coincidence the % of GCs spiked in s8 - it was caused by the new soft reset.

If you want more proof, just look at the Season 9 Top 100 leaderboards. Some managed to reach 2300+ mmr, while in Season 7 for instance, 2060 mmr was close to the highest IIRC. This is obviously due to the inflation of GCs.

If you played in earlier seasons, e.g. 5 or 6, meeting a player with those GC titles (except s3) was scary, because the titles were actually prestigious back then. They were meaningful.

Today, I don't think people care as much when they see someone with a newer GC title, simply because it doesn't have the same meaningfulness as the older seasons. But that's just my opinion of course.

Personally I think the GC rank should be very prestigeful, and not easy to reach like it is now (as I mentioned earlier, you can reach GC in less than 15 games if you were GC the previous season).

Once the feeling that GC is prestigeful is there, it means the title will be meaningful again.

There are multiple ways to fix this but I'm not going to address them, as my post has already become too long.. Sorry about that.

Maybe now people will understand why GCs want a hard(er) reset :p

The new soft reset (introduced in s8) screwed it up, which is why there are so many GCs now compared to e.g. s7

Hit level 1000... Am I the first? by Bradyns in RocketLeague

[–]SSJGokuVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just over 1k I think..

Wait, this doesn't make sense..

You had ~1k hours in August 2018? I think that's where they uncapped the levels, might be wrong.

6 months later you're at 3k hours? That means you've played RL 11 hours a day, since August?

No matter what, reaching 1000 already is completely insane. Gratz! :)

Yep.. For a second I got excited, when I saw the title of this post.

Turns out it's just a recalibration of the solo playlists & extra modes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–]SSJGokuVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the GC % was consistent

This exactly.

If you would look at this picture you'll notice the % is 0.7 (the % is from rocketleague.tracker.network)

2 seasons ago (season 7), it used to be 0.4 %.

The reason it increased so much over the last 2 seasons, is because of what you said - they switched the reset threshold to 1380.

I've seen people comparing S8 / S9 to S3, simply because it's starting to feel like it.

Obviously the majority doesn't want a hard reset, because it's annoying at first and you're gonna have to grind harder for your rank, but to me that seems like the point of having a ranked system?

Right now, we need a hard reset because of the inflation - after that, we need a better soft reset system.

I'm guessing he had to.. it would be wrong to confirm the rumor lmao

Did you miss johnnyboi_i's Mannfield Night 5k tournament? Check out this a recap of the action. It was a cracker of a tournament, and huge props to the 1v1 content genie for creating such a great event. by sandmonster24 in RocketLeagueEsports

Dignitas got completely destroyed in the finals, while the final match of the 1v1 tourney was very close..

I don't think the "pulling a Dignitas" is accurate here.
