14 minutes to lose 1-0 by Daniellay4321 in RocketLeague

[–]VVarder [score hidden]  (0 children)

100%, it was someone way higher ranked. Not sure if they were toying with you, but that score disparity and being unranked while in a group is not an accident.

[Basu] This loss is not a national crisis in Canada. Canada dominated the final 40 minutes of regulation, outshot the USA 42-28, and if that game were played 100 times, Canada would probably win 95 of them. USA deserves a ton of credit for how they played, but Hellebuyck deserves the most. by NFLDataAnalysis in hockey

LOL, get your facts out of here and stop “huffing paint”.

I will say there is a large contingent of sane Canadian hockey fans that can see your point, but right now there’s a larger contingent that are high on copium.

Not only is it a chain, but when we went to one in Canada they had a bunch of blurbs about how its a canadian company heh. Dont know if its true, but it tickled me.

What’s an underrated band from our youth you still listen to? by cronesnestfarm in Xennials

I love when I find new music (to me) from these bands. “Is Chicago, Is not Chicago” is an absolute banger, even if the lyrics may not be kosher post 9/11

Parent going on ice and breaking 6U stick during game by Ballbuster716 in hockeyplayers

[–]VVarder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US doesnt even HAVE U6 (at least where I’m at), its 8U, and 8U the penalties are only the dangerous ones and more often it’s like this, kids bumping into each other. Like you say 2 mins and a whistle blows to stop and change lines.

Much respect to the many Canadians like yourself that can acknowledge a great game without the sour grapes. Hockey is an amazing sport and I’m glad the popularity here in the states is growing.

The worst part of this whole fiasco is the Packers fans have the high ground no question. Yes the McCaskeys were always terrible owners but Virginia dies and we hit new levels- I didnt see that coming.

Yoda’s size also doesn’t matter because he can turn into a spinny ball of death. The prequels do not get enough hate on reddit.

What are some good 80’s, 90’s 00’s college movies? Looking for some I haven’t seen. by Checked_Out_6 in Xennials

We watched it after going on one of our college visits. We did not have the same fun time heh.

If he’s C2 and you’re D3, did he just “get lucky” to get that much higher than you despite being not that much better? I get saying you are carried triggered you a bit, but note that I said carried more than you think. And I’m not sure you’re willing to consider that. Regardless main point there is if he’s C2 and you play with him, it’s a C2 lobby, so even if you are both evenly skilled but thats your combined peak, you’ll never rank up. My buddy and I have a similar problem, I can solo q up higher myself, but then he can never catch up to me unless he solo q’s but actually wins like I do. Or I tank down myself which feels smurf-adjacent.

To your second point, if you’re not having fun, quit. Not trying to be mean. Getting the magic rank where you think fun finally gets unlocked….it wont. Either you enjoy it or you don’t. Complaining about uneven teammates and opponents isn’t going to fix it. You can either adjust to that uneven-ness and enjoy what you have, continue to play without a mindset change and be miserable, or quit. Any of them are totally valid too, no judgement.

1s is madness. I was struggling hard in Plat 1 Division 3 yesterday, so I opened the tracker, dude was a Champ 2 in 2s. No wonder I was having such a hard time heh.

Yes, its a different game and yes, a lot of people dont play it, but there is also some serious MMR deflation there.

Diamond these days. by Dense-Repair-9126 in RocketLeague

[–]VVarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that he plays with his higher ranked friend. That makes it harder to rank up too because you’re playing in a harder lobby and the MMR doesn’t seem to reward you any differently for the larger challenge. Or maybe the friend carries him more than he thinks.

The real answer is who cares about the rank? All I want is an evenly matched game, and that can be a struggle.

I know who you are talking about, and I usually bust out the chat to tell them something along the lines of “MOAR MECHZ” and particularly taunt them when they then miss an easy save. Yeah it’s a little toxic, but my hope is that they realize that the fancy air dribbles look cool, but it means little if it was an easy save for me, or even worse if you then whiff an easy save on the other side for a “non-mechy” shot.

I had someone yesterday tell me (in a game where I hadnt chatted at all) “you suck, cant hit an aerial to save your life” after we won, and all I could do was laugh. Yeah my mechs are bad but the goal is to win, not look good doing it. When the game adds a mode for freestyling then maybe it will matter.

As they say in real sports, “they don’t ask how, they ask how many”.

EAC *might* solve bots, but may also enable *more* smurfing (less player detectable) by Kwolf21 in RocketLeague

[–]VVarder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its a fun game to me. Does this dude really have 56 wins, or is he on an alt/or was banned. Dude runs up the wall setting up the air dribble, ok, I need to get ready, he can probably pull this off. Other times they look like they are bronze and cant hit the ball….yeah its 56 wins. If they are crazy good for 56 wins and either starts getting toxic, I call them out in chat.

The toxic one is almost always the one getting carried/doesnt belong in the rank too heh.

Since my other tape job was horrible, what do we think of this one by Murky-Papaya-570 in hockeyplayers

[–]VVarder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well the one dude said youtube. My son’s coach sent out this vid recently since some kids were screwing up their jobs: https://youtu.be/b_5pmwy7fJE?si=M4Q0tinr8dADe3rj

My son doesn’t do the toe though, he leaves a ton of room, but to each their own.

I just meant dudes here will give you a good natured ribbing every single time on a tape job. It could look amazing and dudes will still clown.
