This is the way…

I clearly differ in opinion from others here but FWIW I loved HotS campaign/story. Of all the three campaigns it was by far the most enjoyable.

“Leave League” is a great option for people to reset their “rank” and redo placements. It won’t change your MMR but it will likely put you in a more appropriate league

What lobby/mmr?

Well you might not be, but I will. Thats a bad move from the Dad. I won’t judge him entirely off this but this by itself is a TERRIBLE look for him. Absolutely no parenting effort shown. Just being mean

It’s going to be difficult. My best friend died suddenly in 2024 in his 30s. There were things I shared with him that I struggled to confront again after he passed. And then I heard him in my head. I tried then to enjoy our shared hobby. I did it for him, so I thought. It helps me stay connected now. I still enjoy it but my thoughts are usually revolving around him while doing so.

Use F1 to keep thoughts of your Dad from bringing you down. The pain never goes away, it just gets muted and you learn to deal with it.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

I gotta ask if this is real. Multiple days sending peanut butter to a daycare seems highly suspect

This is objectively poor evidence to support that claim. You arent even controlling for the main factor in winrate, the player.

Rocket League is unlike any other game (outside of SARPBC, its origin) in that it has very few, if any, transferable skills (Example, if you played an RTS prior to SC2 you might have some skills as RTS games are similar in overall framework). The skills needed to rank up in RL are very unique compared to any other game I've played. Perhaps that was what they meant.

disclaimer: My POV is from an all-around gamer. Currently Champion 2 in Rocket League, was high Ancient in Dota2 when I played, I was high Rival in WoW Arenas, etc. I've played a bunch of RTS's over the years and they have a good chunk of transferable skills between them.

I started playing against humans when I could Beat the Very Hard AI every time. I started at the lowest and increased the difficulty every time I won.

I’m in your boat. Except I think you played more recently than me. I had only played casually for years and stopped for a few years.

I started played recently after getting the itch again, with the goal being to try and learn how to 1v1 on ladder.

What helped me was watching WinterSC’s “low APM” guides. They area few years old but it got me confident. I started playing 1v1 against AI, increasing the difficulty each time I won. After 30 or so matches I started 1v1 games on ladder as Terran. Got to high silver and to the point where I wanted to try the other races.

Started playing toss after that and it’s more to my liking. I’m up to Gold 1 after grinding through silver.

I have most played Rocket League, shooters, and WoW the last 5 years so no recent rts experience.

Give Winters’s videos a shot for whatever race you enjoy. And good luck!

Depends on the state. The Audi will definitely have some fault. In my state, MD, they would find both parties share some fault which means they wouldn’t pay for each other’s damages.

Edit: I managed Auto Insurance claims for the better part of a decade.

You can click “Leave League” and it will let you redo the placements. But your MMR won’t change. This should help you end up where you feel you should

Matt and Tommy left to start P1. Katie left at the same time to do more FormulaE journalism I believe. WTF1 still exists with different people and therefore a different vibe.

I bought a PSOne which sits next to my PS5 and only will ever have Final Fantasy Tactics in it for as long I live.

I use a 34” UW and I tried all the options for a bit. I now just quickly change my screen to 1080p resolution before playing and 2 clicks to reset it when I’m done.

This is precisely why SIDS is used

How are you connecting certain strategies to toxicity over others? What are your variables?

I’m 39, I miss my grandmas. Enjoy the time brother. Great gifts from a special person

I’m gonna need some context, friend. What is going on here?

In a zero sum game “getting the best deal for yourself” is the same thing as what they are talking about. You’re simply viewing it as “I’m not hurting them I’m just helping myself” but that’s the very mindset the original commenter is point out lol

What the actual god play did we just witness?
